Term 4 Week 2

My recount.

Today I made a recount about lockdown, it was easy for me because I didn't need to think too much. I just wrote what happened during lockdown so far. So anyway, here is my recount.

My fun and boring lockdown.

On 17th August 2021, delta hit New Zealand like how lightning hits a rod, and that's when it all started. The case numbers started increasing, the hospitals started filling up, and then that's when the most horrible thing happened, level four lockdown had begun! I was petrified by the news, in my head I was thinking, "this is horrible, no terrible, no that's not what it is, it's dreadful!" I was tremulous and confused inside, but outside I was just a normal kid, with a normal face. "This is alright", I said , "this is alright, it can't be that bad, can it?" Each night I said to myself "see this isn't so bad." And I was right it wasn't that bad, it was actually quite fun. I got to cook with my mum, play soccer with my family every single day, read more books, watch more tv, and best of all, have movie nights everyday, if I wanted to. Everyday lockdown started to get more, and more fun. I couldn't resist telling myself that lockdown, which at first seemed tedious and dreadful, was now very fun and exciting. That excitement didn't last very long, after a couple of weeks it was back to square one. The only difference is this time I wasn't terrified, bewildered or bored, I was angry and wanted to be with my friends. But on 21 September everything changed, Auckland moved to alert level 3, I started having more hope and getting less angry, the best thing was that case numbers were decreasing. I knew that it was still lockdown, but I didn't actually care anymore, because now I have more hope. Now, instead of feeling sorry for myself, I actually look forward to the next day, hoping that lockdown will end.
