Dante's Inferno (Note this is my narration)

Image
Imagine a forest of doom. Imagine that you are in it. And you see a man. This man's name was changed to Dante. Dante is trying to get out of this horrible forest. He represents all mankind on the earth. If he dies.... every person will also. Dante sees a mountain that saves people from this forest. Dante also sees the sun light of salvation glinting in his own eyes. He walks up to the mountain about to walk up it. But something catches his eyes. He sees also a Leopard that's quick and angry, A hungry Lion, and last of all...... a very hungry she-wolf. Dante is cornered. With those beasts of his choices he can't go up the mountain. Then a shadow of a man that is a poet appeared. Dante pleads desperately "Help me! I must pass but these beasts are in the way!" the man looking at him which Dante now knows who he is.

The third circle of hell. The boat now was coming to a place where the Gluttons lived. Dante saw a sort of beast with three heads and a huge body barking. Virgil threw some dirt into it's mouth. The punishment here was the fat people gluttons would have to eat gross dirt forever. It was terrible and dark and dreary. But they started for the fourth circle of hell.  The fourth circle of hell. Dante saw a bunch of rocks and huge boulders moving. At first it looked as though they were moving by themselves. But soon he saw men pushing them. They would knock the boulders on each other. This circle was called greed. These people used to be on earth the ones who stole and killed and took money! They were greedy people. It was horrible... more horrible than ever. After they'd knock each other with the boulders, they'd have to turn around and do it again. Dante couldn't  believe what he was seeing. They started for the Fifth circle of hell.    The fifth ...
