A young man from Ture, Muff, Co. Donegal penned this wonderful piece earlier today at a local summer camp with The WRITE STUFF Kids Club. The exercise was to personify the days of the week. or to describe the days as you see/feel about them.
Colm Barton is just 10 years old, and he captured his feelings brilliantly as he wrote.
Monday:
Monday is the day of hope. It attempts to fill you with determination.
Tuesday:
Tuesday is the day of doubt. You begin to doubt you can make it through the whole week .
Wednesday:
Wednesday is the day of sadness. You have given up on Hope and Wednesday has given up hope on you. Also it has music at school and I hate music at school.
Thursday:
Thursday is the day to try and renew the hope that Monday had brought.
Friday:
Friday is our hope returning and over-powering sadness. It is the start of the weekend and the start of happiness.
Saturday:
On Saturday the battle has ended and good has beaten evil. You can do what you want.
Sunday:
And Sunday is the calm before the storm starts again.
By Cathal Barton, aged 10.
An epic description of the weekdays I do think.
