Floodland Final Project

Briefing Interview
2 Children Row to the Mainland

A 10 years old girl and an 8 years old have made a remarkably incredible success of getting to the mainland, through sea, just in a tiny derelict rowing boat. The girl, Zoe Black and her travel companion, Munchkin Porter landed in Hope and met Zoe 's parents, Mr.and Mrs. Black, in Newhome community about a week ago and now live as a family.

Therefore, an exclusive interview was brought up yesterday with Zoe and Munchkin by British Media Group in the Black's small cottage in the purpose to get everyone their true story of surviving .

"It was about a year ago when I got separated from my parents in Norwich.", answered Zoe to our first question. Since she was left behind, she kept on moving around the ruined town, especially, at the remains of warehouses until she luckily spotted the rowing boat with oars, only fit for 2 people. Zoe continued that she made her escape from the sinking land after being chased by people who were also begging for her to take them them with her. She didin't go back but went on rowing till she arrived on the called "Eel island" where she met Munchkin.

"Zoe was thought to be a spy from another tribe and was about to be killed but because of her boat, the ex-leader, Dooby decided not to.", said Munchkin as the interview was in progress. But their time there on the isle didn't last long when a deadly clash occurred. They were never expected to escape together. Zoe wanted an old man, who was said to have been her greatest helper, to go with her while she was wanted by Dooby for the second escape. "William refused so I think I 'll have to leave for my life"said Zoe. As she and Dooby were missing from the crowd during the clash, Munchkin and another boy,Spat who both knew where the boat was chased them. Dooby was distracted by the fight he was having with Spat. Seeing this, Munchkin swam to the boat and rowed away with Zoe.

Zoe added that the second escape was another situation of frustration and fear. They kept on rowing until they were swept away from the boat by a big sea storm and nearly died because of drowning. Fortunately, fishermen from Hope saved them and brought them to the hospital. Arriving on the mainland with relief, they continued their search for Zoe's parents who were believed to be in Newhome. "It was a tiring 2 days walk with not knowing where we were going but wishing for the help of God.",exclaimed Munchkin. They finally found Mr. and Mrs. Black by the help of a woman, Mrs. Clifrance. Their quest was finished with a successful result.

  2. Fantastic job, P2. It read just like a real interview. What the characters said was believable and provides a sort of synopsis of the most adventurous parts of the story. You wrote this in a way that made me want to keep reading until the end, even though I knew the story already!

    p.s. I forgive you :)
