A Day in the Desert by David

I just woke up and it's already 100 degrees! I need water! There's no clouds in sight. It won't rain for probably four months. I'm going out to get food like insects!
I just about made a web in a saguaro cactus in the shade so I'm not going to get as hot as I could. It's a good time for people to come because now I get to stay in my web longer! I don't know why but the people are running away from me. My web in the saguaro cactus is old. I need a new one, maybe in those two cold rocks.
Now it's the rainy season and I just got all the water I need for the year. All the animals are coming out from where they live to get some water so maybe I can get water and food too. Now that it rained and the tortoises have energy, they are fighting and one just got flipped over!
It's night time when I need to watch out for scorpions the most! Wait, what was that? On no, it's a scorpion! Run!! It's coming faster and faster! Good it can't find me here. It's coming again! I've got to spray a web fast. Not it's about to sting me but...I got out of the way just in time!
The birds just flew over my head really fast! I don't think they like it here in the desert! I always wondered why they don't like it here. It's going to take a long time to get across the Sahara Desert, it's 3,000 miles long!
That's what a day in the desert is like for me.

Dear David,
I think your story was great I just know that you are the black widow spider because of the part with the web on the Sahara catus.Also I think your story was good because it had many parts that I enjoyed.Even know the black widow spider is so discusting and really ugly I love it's facts.

David, you did a great job using details in your writing. I especially like the part when you are trying to escape the scorpion-as a reader I could really feel how nervous you were!
