After the previous post and our discussion about Autumn the giraffe from the Greenville Zoo, write from the perspective of a giraffe.
You can be Autumn, the giraffe who the world is anxiously waiting on to deliver her calf, Walter, her mate who has been separated from her during this last stage of pregnancy, or the unborn calf who unbeknownst to him/her will be taking its first breaths in front of hundreds of thousands of viewers.
I am the unborn calf in my mother Autumn's belly; what she don't know is that I am a girl! I already love my mother. I hear all the people who watch her say awe I can't wait till Autumn has her baby; which is me(: I can't wait to be born and see my mother and all of the people.
ReplyDeleteYeah... but once they see the baby is you Amber, they will not be excited anymore. Ha ha I'm just kidding, I love you (:
DeleteWow your probably right but I willing to take my chances. I love you too though(:
DeleteNow that "you" are born and you are really a boy, do you feel confused? ;)
DeleteApparently I'm a giraffe named Walter. I like too eat and sleep and poop.
ReplyDeleteDarian you are great! (:
DeletePOV Autumn:
ReplyDeleteOh, Giraffe God, I cannot wait to get this thing out of me. It's been almost 15 months. I feel so fat. That must be why people are always smiling and pointing at me. They're making fun of me! I wish Walter was here. But apparently, they want him to be curious about what's going on. Of course he knows what's going on, giraffes aren't stupid. At least he'd make me feel better, and less fat. We're social creatures. Seeing his head poke out over a fence isn't enough for me.
It won't be long now...
Awe I like yours it's real sweet. I bet she really thinks that too.
DeleteAll the people in the world aren't the only ones that want this baby to come on, this thing in my belly needs to come out already! I'm moody, I'm sore, and I am so ready. Anytime now would be great!

ReplyDeleteI wish people would understand how hard it is to carry a baby giraffe in you for a long time. Walter has been separated from me and I can barely see his face over the wall. I wish he was beside me so that way we go through this experience together. Everybody is going to watch me give birth. If it was my choice i would probably yell "Leave me alone, I want some privacy not an audience."
I'm so glad this baby is out of me! I am so tired and all these people are always staring at me and there's a camera. Apparently everyone watched me have this baby too. Why can't everyone leave me alone to be with Walter and my baby. Giraffe's need their privacy to.
ReplyDeleteI came out of my mom and now all of these people are taking pictures of me and yelling and now some one who doesn't even know me names me and my mom did not get to name me i hate all these people being around i just want to be alone with my mom so she can take care of me and feed me without people saying that is nasty and walking away i just want to be out in the wild.
ReplyDeletewell here I am in my mothers warm bubble of love then as my foot slips i freak out as i try to pull it back, it works.I turn around and try to find out where my foot went and then i hear my mother scream and then i blackout as my head goes to were my foot went when i wake up i see a bright light and go to and try to stand when my ma and pa say sit back down you are not ready to stand up so i go to sleep. next thing i know my mother wakes me up and help me stand it feels awesome at first. now im terrified because i worry that i will not be able to lay down again so very gingerly i try and i succeed, i feel a lot better now and go to sleep. the next morning my mother wakes me up and says you need to eat so i bend down and nibble on some grass although its bitter i still swallow it then i don't feel to good and i let my my mother know she says to just let it come up so i do. then my mother brings a big branch down to my reach and mumbles what i think is dont eat the green so i try not to when i realize what she really said eat the green leaves and i do so and they turn out to be the bestest sweetest thing i ever tasted because it had maple syrup in them, i eat my fill and lay back down and and tell my mommy that i want to meet daddy soon soon she says i will and i go to sleep. that night a loud familiar roar wakes me up and it scares me so i go lay behind my mom. then i dont hear it anymore and i get really scared and wake my mom up and she says im fine that it is just a lion and to go back to bed and i tell her i am hungry so she bring down the branch and i eat my fill. the next morning my fathers right beside me and wakes me up and says he wants to see me stand and i do and i also tell him im hungry so he brings down another branch and the morning son blinds me and then i realize that iis becuase the tree has no more leaves on it once i finish so i wake mom up and ask her what we do now that there no leaves left on the tree and she looks at the end of our enclosure and i see trees so i go try some of those with help till i realize im thirsty and my mom tell me where to look for water. after a couple of years the only changes are that my parents have grown old and died me and my sister have 2 sons and 3 daughters and we are all able to reach the maple tree with out help. and that is the story of me in my first few years of life. !!!!!!
ReplyDeleteI nap inside a warm bubble, kicking and turning every now and then. All of a sudden, my bubble pops. I'm no longer floating along, I am kicking and writhing. After what seems like a life time of struggling, I feel my legs dangle free of the warmth they once were beheld in. I am frightened, falling from my home gradually. When I fall to the ground, from the cave I called home I am underneath a big giraffe. It's my mamma! Her big black eyes look at me, and I look up to see another giraffe looking over at me, as well. It's my daddy! Mommy goes over to nuzzle daddy, and I sit for an hour or so attempting to stand up until I do so.
