Play-Doh models from act one scene five x

This is my play-doh creation from act one scene five of hamlet. I made a snake because in act one scene five the ghost calls claudius a serpent.

in act one scene one of hamlet it is a cold night in demark and francesico is guarding the top of the tower, barnado then came to swap shifts with him but francesico got a fright because there had been rumors of a ghost going around. they then hear a far away noise, thinking it was  horatio and marcellus who were also meant to be guarding the tower. horatio then enters and they mistake him for the ghost but they soon reilase he isn't. francesico then leaves. later that night the ghost shows up and they see he looks very much like the previous, late king. they try and speak to it but it soon fades away. after it had left horatio and marcellus keep asking barnado a lot of questions about the ghost and the previous times it had been seen. whilst they were talking the ghost appered once again, this time with open arms. they tried to make it speak but it wouldn't respond to them. it soon disapered again, but they knew where they would find it.

A midsummer nights dream

I woke up in the middle of the night in a cold sweat. I looked at the clock, it was 3:27am. “That was the scariest dream ever” I whispered to my best friend Robyn. “Just go back to sleep Louise, it was only a dream” she whispered back. So I tried to do what she said, but it just couldn’t get that image out of my head- the people screaming, the injured bodies, the blood. After the train crashed, I tried to run but my leg was caught under a seat that had fell down, then a falling of rubble came straight at me and I woke up. After along time, I eventually gave up on trying to fall asleep and just lay there in the dark until morning came.

At the breakfast table I just couldn’t bring myself to eat anything. “Louise, what’s up?” asked Robyn “was it the dream?”                                                                                                                                                                                                                            

“Yeah” I mumbled back to her.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                

"come on, let’s go and enjoy the rest of our summer holiday. Shall we go shopping in town?”                                                      

  “Okay” I said with a small smile. Robyn always knows how to cheer me up. She grabbed my hand and pulled me out the door.

We were walking down the street when she came to halt outside the train station. “w-why are you stopping?” I stuttered.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          “because we’re getting the train!” she answered.                                                                                                                                                                         “

"What?! You didn’t say anything about the train. I thought we were getting the bus!”                                                                                                                        

"I'm not getting the bus! It takes longer and it costs more. Just get the train Louise. It was only a dream, nothing’s going to happen” she moaned.                  

“Fine!” I grumbled and I stomped into the station after her.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                       

When the train pulled up, I was consumed with terror, but I had to do this. I couldn’t let Robyn down, and I had to face my fears. Robyn stepped on, and I tried to follow her, but i couldn’t do it! I just couldn’t do it! I took a step away, and Robyn tried to follow me, but as she did she the train sped away and she slipped under it. Once the train had gone, I saw my best friend. Dead.
