The Twits

Mrs Anderson read Roald Dahl's book, 'The Twits' to the class.  She thought it was a great opportunity to do some descriptive writing!

TASK: 

Write an interesting description of the Twits.  Include what they look like, their likes/dislikes and things they do.  We also had to share our own opinion of the 'terrible twosome'! 

Here are just three samples of the wonderful writing created!  

The Twits, those old, hairy hedgehogs like torturing kids, birds, monkeys and each other.  They love bird pie, any kind of bird pie – magpie, song-thrush and many more.  In a cage in the garden they have monkeys.  The monkeys were Muggle Wump and his family.  Their life was upside down.  Mrs Twit was a walking nightmare.  She was the ugliest young girl and is now an old, filthy woman.  People will never go near them.  People will go running, screaming, if they saw the Twits.  The old man and woman fight a lot, filthy freaks they are.

The mean, hairy, horrible Twits like to do pranks and kill birds.  They don’t like nice people, kids, smiles and each other.  They look like people I’d never like to meet.  Mrs Twit is as smelly as dog poo on your shoe, a glass-eyed freak, a walking stick nightmare.  You’d think she’s a man growing a beard and her mono-brow.  She should get a job chopping carrots… with her nose.  Her pants are so high you don’t know where her stomach is.  Smiles, fun, kids, happiness and her husband is what she hates.  Mr Twit?  His nose is like a pig’s snout.

Mr Twit looks really disgusting.  He has bogies, bits of mouldy egg and cheese and even strips of left over lettuce in his beard.  Mrs Twit has ugly, thick and dirty hair and a long, crooked nose.  On Wednesday nights they love to eat Bird Pie!  The Twits in fact loved Bird Pie so much they would probably eat it every day if they could.  These horrid monsters hated small children and they also did not like each other!  The ugly beasts liked to spread sticky Hug-Tight glue on the branches of their dead tree to catch birds for their pie.  I would hate to be stuck on a tree and I feel sorry for the all the birds Mr and Mrs Twit ate!  Mr Twit pongs of rotten cabbage, Mrs Twit smells of stinky dog poop.  I think if they had kids they would be as putrid and foul as Mr and Mrs Twit.  I think the Twits are horrible people and I would not like to meet them!  I’m sure you would not want to meet them either because they are…ugly, horrid, hairy, grumpy, disgusting and weird warthogs!
