La Luna

La Luna

We watched the opening scene from the animation La Luna. We had to write two paragraphs each describing the scene.

The  bulky man was smoothly paddling the dingy one peaceful night. The sky was illuminated by stars, shining. Their reflection were reflected in the sea like a mirror. A lantern was dangling from a stick at the back of the boat, swinging with each stroke. A boy in the middle of the boat between two adult men was peering into the sea at his own reflection. He was confused about what they were doing.

They paddled and  paddled.  The man pulled up the oars and the boat glided on the sea coming to a stop. They were in the middle of the sea surrounded by darkness. The old man gave the boy a gift. Puzzled he opened his gift. As soon as looked inside  he opened his mouth with a surprised face.
