Aika's new Highwayman verses


It was midnight at hollowing street,

The trees were like a statue,

And the Landlord’s daughter was sleeping,

As she was sleeping the Highway Man

Came pacing…., pacing…, pacing.. with his

horse,

 

He was pacing like a lion,

Soon Bess woke up from the

horses tapy tamp footsteps,

After when the H.M strolled to

Landlord’s house he took Bess,

like he was a burglar,

 

 

They ran as if the where running to save

their life because they didn’t want her dad to hear ,

Tim the old stupid ostler was staring

at them and he demanded at the soldiers

to come to the cafeteria ,

He was jealous  as Mr.Boardman,

After the H.M were in the cafeteria they

Gazed with stress at ………

……………..the soldiers

The soldiers wanted to kill

The H.M ,

After a while the soldiers killed the H.M,

And Bess was crying

Like her dad was dead 

So then they moved to another place,

As the time she was 24 years she was in love with

Someone else and forgot about

The Highway Man.

The Highwayman Characters


 Hello Year 5,

To continue our work on the Highwayman, I want you to think about the characters of The Highwayman, Bess and Tim the Ostler.

Can you describe what kind of character they are and explain why they each choose the actions they do, use the poem and your inference skills to help you.

Some things to think about:

1) What kind of character is Tim?
2) What kind of character is Bess?
3) What kind of character is The Highwayman?
4) Why does Tim tell the soldiers about The Highwayman and Bess?
5) What do you think Tim's everyday life is like?
6) How do you think Bess feels about Tim the Ostler?
7) Does the Highwayman deserve any sympathy from the reader? if so why? if not why not?
8) Can you explain the way The Highwayman acts when he finds out what happened to Bess?
9) Who is to blame for what happens to Bess?
10) Who is to blame for what happens to The Highwayman
