Icarus’ sad ending.

They leapt from the tower ledge. As they plunged down the ledge, their white feathered wings unfolded. They bolted upwards. They flew across the murky sea. Shortly, Icarus got confident in flying. He flew high like a bird could fly. The blistering sun burnt Icarus back. Icarus had excessive confidence that he had hubris. He had too much ignorance. He even thought that he was better than the god Apollo! Daedulus warned him not to climb any higher or else. Unfortunately, Icarus ignored again! There was now a competition with Apollo. Icarus flew higher that Daedulus until he soar higher until he got closer to the sun. Apollo thought that Icarus needed a punishment. He made the sun as hot as he can. The blazing sun touched on his back and the wax melted. The wax dripped and floated onto the murky black sea. Icarus plummeted down whilst Daedulus followed behind him. Icarus was falling fast. Daedulus did not know what to do because he did not know what to do to save Icarus. Daedulus wished Icarus had listened to him. Icarus had sunk into the gushing riverbank. Icarus was never to been seen ever again so Daedulus went home by himself.

  1. I love your work Jennifer
    I liked the adjective’murky’ because it shows that the sea is dirty and it shows what color the ocean is. I also liked the verb ‘plummeted’ because it shows how fast Icarus is falling and it shows that he is out of control when he is falling.

  2. Thanks Jenna, I think that murky does fit in for the sea and plummeted works well because it is the movement that Icarus is making.

  3. You have chosen some very effective vocabulary here Jennifer, which helps your readers to build a picture of the story in their minds. You have also described Daedalus’ frustration clearly. Well done!

  4. Thank you for your comments.

    I described Daedalus’ frustration because it adds a bit of humor about him begin angry. Also it tells us that he is sad about Icarus’ tragic death.
