5C Pompeii narrative

In 5C we have been writing narratives in the style of our class book, based in Pompeii. Here's is an Ryan's opening paragraph:

The year was 70A.D. Marcus, a young slave, was pushing his way through the bustling and broiling streets of Pompeii, dodging carts and street vendors. He was on his way to pick up his brutal master’s laundry when, unexpectedly, the ground began to tremble and shudder beneath his bare feet. Diving for cover, and narrowly missing being hit by a vast, marble statue of Achilles, he violently lunged to the ground with a ferocious smack.
