Stormbreaker

Exhilarating, Breath taking, Exciting some of the feelings that Alex Rider felt as he in-barked on his adventurous journey in the wake of  his uncles death... all in the book Storm Breaker by Anthony Horowitz. 

Alex Rider was living with his uncle and his housekeeper when the police arrived at their house early in the morning with some bad news... his uncle has been in a car accident only that it wasn't the car crash that caused the death of his uncle... Alex rider abscond to find out what actually happened to his uncle - Ian Rider.

The part where Alex held his breath and dived into the cold, icy watery tunnel  to find out what was on the other side, he had my heart pumping and my brain thinking "will he be able to hold his breath?" will he survive the cold water?" Read book to find out if he will survive...

I recommend this heart pumping, adventures book to anyone who loves an exhilarating, breath taking adventure book with lots of villains and people you think u can trust but turn there back an leave you hanging on the edge of your death.


Character Poem - Character from the book 'Gone'


I am smart yet scared
I wonder if I could ever get through life and campus
I hear Monica historically laughing at me as a fall down the stars
I see my room being messed up by the filthy Monica.
I want Monica to leave me alone
I am smart yet scared


I pretend I am okay and not being bullied
I feel sad and lonely
I imagine touching a warm, soft bed
I worry that Monica and her crew will be awaiting me.
I cry as I slowly reach for my bag as the bruises on my shoulder start to ache
I am smart yet scared


I understand that I am not safe out here in the big world
I say “you will be okay, that’s what mom would say”
I dream about having friends and being popular.
I try and make friends but it never happens
I hope I can see mom and dad soon

I am smart yet scared

Report- Mine Craft



Mine craft, another universe, and a game where people get addicted to building houses, and building another planet.

Mine craft is an addictive game, instead of kids outside and having social games there inside playing on mine craft. People are also grieving other people’s houses, setting them on fire and most of all destroying other student’s property. 

This game involves maths and looking after other people’s property, therefore you do learn something, but I still agree that mine craft isn't a good program.

There is a lot of things you could do on mine craft eg. Building houses, digging underground and a whole lot more, in some cases kids think it is really fun and exciting, but in my case it is boring.

Over all mine craft is a addictive game where people grieve other peoples creations, courses anger and frustration and shouldn't be in a students curriculum.
