The second last post of the term......

In this year’s Language Arts lessons, I have learnt how to appreciate literature more. I have learnt about three different forms of Literature texts this year, namely short stories, novels and poetry. Short stories and novels are forms of stories. One of the shoet stories we used was Lamb To The Slaughter by Roald Dahl. The story was about a women killing a man with a frozen piece of lanb leg. This short story made me want to read more books than usual. The novel that we used was called Village By The Sea by Anita Desai. I felt the book was too wordy and not quite interesting.

Ten Short Stories by Roald Dahl

There were 10 short stories ( as the title states ) in the book. Some stories were amusing while i do not understand some stories. In the story the Umbrella Man, the man who sold the umbrella was actually a thief who steals umbrella to sell, so he can get money to buy liquor to drink. In the story The Hitchhiker, the man who asked the author to give him a lift to Epsom, a place where people bet on horse races. The hitchhiker is actually going there to take people valuables. But he only take from the rich and the snobbish.

Those are the two stories which i like the most out of all of them.

Books which i read during the holidays

During the school holidays, we had many a lot of free time. At some point, i was bored, so i read the two books my Language Arts teacher recommended us to read. the two books are:

Ten Short Stories by Roald Dahl
and
The Graveyard Book by Neil Gaiman



I found those books interesting as they are easy to understand with many interesting plots and funny stories.

School reopens (: ):

When school reopens, there are somethings which are good and some which are not so good. The good things are that we can be together with our friends again after not being together for so long. Anyway since school reopens, i have to wake up early again and cannot watch World Cup...... And homework will start stack. But anyway school will be fun!!!

School Holidays!!!! (:

The school holidays are here!!! Can't wait for gathering with my primary school friends. But during the holidays, there are some good and bad points about it.
