In Room 2 this week we have been doing some persuasive writing. In my group we have been focusing on Animal Experiments. Here is what i have done so far To whom it may concern I think animal experiments should be held because more than 50% of animal experiments are carried on rats and mice, these animals are usual killed any way. They help save human lives. Experiments on animals have led directly to the development of new treatments for surgical procedures.

As i darted through a bush I heard a loud crackling noise in the distance. As I got closer I could make out a tall pointy figure. I smelled a rotten smell in the air. I wanted to vomit. The woman had deep wrinkles in her skin. She wore a black pointy hat that had a toad on the brim. All of a sudden the lady turned around and stared at me in the eyes. I dared not to move. She told me to come and sit by her. As I got closer I could see all her cracked teeth. I tried to move away but my legs kept moving!!!!!!!======
