Peter in the cave

Peter *pries into* the cave. At once, he feels a nasty *whiff*. All in a sudden, a *blare* bounce on the walls and a group of bats fly *amok*. Despite the fright Peter doesn't feel it like a *menace*. But the child with him starts to *whimper* when he *gawks* a baby bat hanging from the ceiling.


I write this text to use and learn new vocabulary (*words*). They are no related words, so the story may sound a bit strange in some cases.

Corrections

Peter in the cave

Peter *pries into* the cave.

Cave does not require a capital c, I respectfully disagree with the previous reviewer. To pry, meaning to look into something with a curious air, is not a common word, but you have used it correctly here. It sounds very literary to me, not everyday language.

At once, he feels a nasty *whiff*.

Whiff is smell. So you don't feel it, but you can catch it. He catches a nasty whiff. Again, this language is not incorrect but is not commonly used.

All in a sudden, a *blare* bounce on the walls and a group of bats fly *amok*.

Blare means noise, usually. So I am not sure if you have used the correct word here?

Despite the fright Peter doesn't feel it likeis a *menace*.

You could also say threat, which would be more common.

But the child with him starts to *whimper* when he *gawks* a baby bat hanging from the ceiling.

Feedback

Great work! All of the words in *... * are quite literary and not common in everyday usage.

Thanks for your help. I'm going to focus on more common words instead of trying to learn words taken out novels. They don't seem to be too much useful.

Peter in the cCave

Peter *priepeers into* the cave.

At once, he feels a nasty *whiff*.

I'm not sure what you mean here. Perhaps he feels a "whoosh" from the wings of the bats as they fly by?

All inof a sudden, a *blare* bounces onff of the walls and a group of bats flyies *amok*.

I'm not sure what you mean by a "blare" here. Also, I think it would be more appropriate to say that a group of bats flies in a frenzied cloud, or swoops through the air.

Despite the frightfeeling afraid, Peter doesn' not feel it like a *it is menace*ing.

But, the child with him starts to *whimper* when as he *gawks* at a baby bat hanging from the ceiling.

Thanks for your time.
Just for clarifying, I use * to mark the new words I'm trying to learn, because there is no way to use bold typography or something similar.
