Message in a bottle from Ben Gunn

When Jim Hawkins arrives on Treasure Island, he meets a strange man named Ben Gunn who was marooned there three years earlier by Captain Flint.  One way you could contact people if you were stranded on a desert island was to write a letter, put it in a bottle and throw the bottle into the sea.

Here's Mohamed's message in a bottle from Ben Gunn.



Dear sir

I am at the ISLAND. LIFE is very good on the Island. What I miss about home is that you  can do very fun stuff  but at the island  you have no one to talk to . I feel sad because CAPTIN Flint  left me . AND also I feel anxious about him. Why oh why did he  maroon me . HOW I wish   I was at Bristol with all the other people . He hid the treasure on the island and left me all alone and said get out of my ship . I AM at this boring island. 

From

Ben Gun.

  1. Great use of "why, oh why" as we practised in literacy Mohamed. I particularly like your use of: 'anxious' and 'maroon'. Can you identify a question in your writing that needs a question mark?
