Mini Storys

My dog, my dad and I went to the beach to have some fish and chips. My dog devoured the chips and dad and I the fish and sand.

When I got my dog with the big floppy ears I was so happy. They bounce madly about upsetting me when I'm ignored.  

When I was five my brother and I rode a seesaw, when he decided to hop off, I bit my tongue and it was gushing with blood. Seesaw? So sore!

swallowing the water down its long elegant throat

waiting for rain to fall.

Photos With A Message

#1

I think that this photo is telling you that it's okay yo be different and standout in your own way. My other reason is to think differently to others and think for yourself. 

#2

This photo is about that you can do anything if you believe in yourself but only if you try and push yourself to the limit.

#3  

Live life to the limit have fun do anything you want live it up do whatever whenever.  

Photos With Meanings

Today I am writing a full explanation about this photo.


#1

This photo shows thad a film doesn't describe as much as a book will in detail. The reason I think this is because the majority of the ice berg is on the A BOOK end. You can also tell by the detail on the photo as the film shows a lot less detail than the book.    



#2

I think that this photo could be about a team that is about to go and play a game of sport. I think the red person is the coach of the team, and he is trying to hype his team up, to encourage them to win. Or it  could be someone that is tying to standup for something. That's why he looks different to the others.  

#3 

This picture shows that picture is worth a thousand words because it's a photo with thousands of photos inside it and every photo has a story. My other idea is that this could be someone who hasn't discarded any of there cards that they have received in the past, and keeps them all in the basement. So I think this person is a smart person not polluting the earth.

12 Years a Slave

Set in the late 19th century,12 Years a Slave is about a middle class man named Solomon Northup. He was a skilled carpenter and talented violin player who went to Washington D.C, because he gets offered a two week job as a musician. He was kidnaped, and sold to slavery in Red River, Louisiana where he was forced to work on a cotton farm.

Solomon was abused and threatened with guns if he didn't do the work. All the slaves tell him that, "if you don't want to be a slave you don’t do the work, you just don't do what they tell you". But Solomon said “I don’t want to do the work, but I want to live. I want to see my family again.”

Solomon obeyed the rules and tried to please his master. When he's accused of not doing things right he argues back accusing white people of "being the problem" not his work. Solomon has no option but to run.   

I recommend this movie because it will tell you about what it was like in 1894.
