The Panoramic View

Artists, when drawing, make use of a perspective called the bird's eye view—the way the world would look while viewing it from a helicopter. Everything seems small and far away as it may seem to a bird flying high in the sky.

Switch on the artist in you. Imagine you're Spiderman. You’re looking at a city from the top of a tall skyscraper. Paint the scene.

A Tale of Thrill

Did you know, during the attack of the twin towers of the World Trade Center in New York on September 11, 2001, four planes were hijacked by militants connected to Al Qaeda. Two of them crashed into the Twin Towers and one crashed into the Pentagon. However, the fourth crashed in an abandoned field thanks to the brave actions of the passengers who attacked the hijackers and diverted the plane away from its target.

Imagine yourself in one of these situations: Your plane is hijacked in mid-flight, or your flight crash-landed in a rainforest.

Choose a situation. Write a 500-word story.
