WW1 Writing.
In WW1 children had to plant vegetables for their family while their father and uncles went to war. The mothers of the children do the work that most men usually do. The children sometimes have to take care of the animals and gardening.
The boys that are over 18 had to go war but if they didn’t want to go and the army needed at least 1 more they will have a draft, you would have to write their name on a paper put it in a box and whichever name comes out you have to fight for your country, so it is basically a draw.

Titanic sinking writing.
The Titanic was going full steam ahead and everybody was yelling iceberg in fear. The people steering the titanic tried turning as fast as they could, they all looked at each other and then not even a minute later they barely made the turn but no hole was found but a series of splits in the steel in the plating it let enough water in to overwhelm the ship it was built to survive the first 2 forward compartments and 4 others but the iceberg opened all 5.
I got kinda happy but still scared the adults took a lot of the kids to the safety boats. I ran to the safe boats there was only 20 safety boats I saw 15 gone.The safety boats could only hold 35.25 in each boat I got in 1 and saw that a kid was left crying I put him on I could swim so I just held on the back since all the other boats already setted off.
I had some pretty warm clothes on so I could last for at least an hour. The next day I was freezing cold in the water until the sun came out and it was warm. The End.
