Discovery Creative (For HSC)

Hii,

Creative writing is by FAR my weakest area of English, perhaps in the entire HSC. So I know my creative is really bad and as trials are coming up I was wondering if somebody could please provide feedback on it? Please roast it as much as you like (I need it ;D)!

Thank you!

Also, the parts highlighted in yellow are aspects I can tell do not work/lack sophistication, but I'm just struggling with re-wording.

Hey, I'm not going to try to give thorough feedback for this (hpefully a mod will!!) as creative writing is also my biggest struggle, but I noticed that you could "show not tell" a little bit more.
E.g.
"The immediate shock is slowly suffused with anger." 

Look up the site "descriptionari" and then search a word like "shock" or  "anger". These responses are usually hyper-descriptive or extended metaphors, and I've found that they really help with creating imagery within a scene. :) Hope this helps a bit.

Ahh thank you for this! I have habit of overly telling instead of showing.

Descriptionari is the best! Used it heaps in the HSC when I was stuck :)

Hii, I'm not sure if I should've made a new thread but anyways, this is the creative I used for trials which I got 13/15 for. But in my opinion that was just lenient marking and my creative is more reflective of a 9/10 mark out of 15.

If anybody could please provide feedback on my creative for HSC, it would be greatly appreciated (literally beyond words)!
