how dare you!
Just kidding, but seriously, I love him
he's like the outdated bushranger uncle dude I never had
and never will have :'D
I might do it in the summer holidays :0
like, I was just skimming through it, and it's so darn cringy I love it but it's also the bane of me
a) story starts with an onomatopoeia, which I find cringy now
b) I named random characters after historical figures (mainly ones that were in Hamilton aha)
c) the entire thing is cringe
d) the amount of telling and not showing I did is insane
e) and last but not least, definitely not least, is the fact that I fricking wrote in a huge block. Each chapter has about 900 words in 300 word chunks, so apart from the spacing between those chunks, there is no spacing. It's just a big thick block. I'd been the very thing back then that I swore to destroy today, like, I mentioned earlier today to a friend that I hate it when people wrote in blocks
and here my 12-year-old self was, lurking in a corner and cackling evilly >.>
basically Ned Kelly's life from my memory is that he was either born in December 1854 or June/July 1855 (I believe the former) into a large, poorish family. He did some basic education but dropped out when he was around 12? because his dad had died from dropsy and he needed to be the man of the family. His mother, Ellen Kelly, remarried to some Firstname King dude
his family was also in trouble with the police a lot. Ned did a few stints in jail when he was a teenager, did an apprenticeship in bushranging with Harry Power. A policeman accused his mother and a neighbour of attempted murder in around 1877/78 (can't remember) and she got three years in jail even though she had a new born child. Ned and his brother, Dan, were angry and they joined their friends Joel Byrne and Steve Hart (I think) to form the Kelly Gang
they ran away to Stringybark Creek or the general area, to hide out, and found a camp of policemen looking for them. Tried to get them (the policemen) to surrender, failed and killed three? of them, which Ned allegedly said he regretted. A survivor got away. They were declared outlaws
so then they robbed a few banks, Ned dictated the Jerilderie Letter, and then in July? I think of 1880, took most if not all of the people of Glenrowan hostage in one of the inns. They treated them fairly, apparently, and in the morning of either Sunday or Monday, the police came to capture the gang. There was a shootout (oh, by the way, Ned and his gang made their famous metal armour) and Steve, Joel (actually he might be called Joe) and Dan were killed, and Ned was captured with serious injury
he was sentenced, told the judge (who had sentenced his mother) that he'd see him hell (the judge died like, a little while later, maybe after Ned's death), and he was hung on 11th November 1880 at 10am
oh, and his last meal was a leg of lamb, peas and a glass or red claret wine, according to the guy who took me on a tour of Beechworth Gaol.
*breathes*
wOo
that's all I remember from the top of my head, I think he had a bunch of siblings, like 8 sisters and 3 brothers? I can't remember
