Story thing Two


This is the second story Carly has started and I will continue:

She ran.  The leaves of a flax bush stroked her legs.  She stumbled over a root but threw her hand out and managed to find a tree trunk under her questing fingers.  She pushed against it and found herself balanced again on two feet.  Behind her the voices rose and fell excitedly.  She was fast and she knew it but would she be fast enough today…  

She has to be! She will be locked in the prion in the castle for years if she does not do so. She tried to run faster holding onto a long stick for support. She knew what she had done was bad, but she had still gone and done it. She had been starving, like she was now, her tummy moaning for something to feast on. Why? why had she been so stupid, if she had not she would not of been in this case.
"Oh well," She thought, "Just keep running."

A little story thingy...

For our task this week we have to continue a part of a story that Carly has already written the first bit of it. Right now I will do the first one(The bit in italics is Carlys bit):


He stared at the monitor; his face was lit up by the light from the screen.    The room was dark, the hum of the machine the most dominant noise in the room. He twisted in his seat trying to find a comfortable position.  The wires prevented him from every finding a comfy spot but still he tried. No luck.  A small beep from the computer focused his attention, it was beginning… 

"YES!" he screamed jumping out of his uncomfortable chair and kicking it, "Finally, I will now be the king of tHE WORLD!!!..." He stumbled over a wire causing it to fall out of its plug in the wall. "WHAT!!!!!!!" The man boomed, "YOU STUPID WIRE! NOOOOO!"
He lunged for the wire and plugged it back in but it was too late, the screen had already gone blank.

The man tried to fix it, he needed this, his life depended on it, but It never worked again. He slowly sat back down in the uncomfortable chair and then he realized what he must do, What was more important then becoming king of the world, he must destroy this chair.

Argument

I have also started my argument now and the topic is high schools should have play grounds 'cause here in Wellington we don't have play grounds in our high schools!!!  LAME.
So I am writing about why they should have them and all that and after I have finished it I may send copy to Wellington high school 9the high school I am going to next year). I really hope it turns out good!!!!!

Explanation writing

Yo!
So I have written on this in a while but thats because I doidnt know what to write about! But now I do YAAAAY! So through out this year we need to do a narrative a explanation and a argument. I had nearly finished the narrative then my teach Richard came up to us and was like remember you have to do all three so I quickly started my explanation!!!!!

Its about how to use a mechanical pencil (I know weird) and it has got everything you need to know if you want to use one! Its pretty weird..... K bye!

DIVERGENT! (A book)

So we got told to write about our favorite book on here. At the moment mine is a book called divergent, its really good because its a mixture of action drama romance etc. The writer is also really good at writing and I wish I could be like her. She has all these parts that just drags you into the story and it kind of gave me insparation for when I was doing  my writing sample. I also really like the idea of how there are difrent say groups in divergent and the main character, Beatrice, Is in the one that frowns upon selfishness and they are all the same and everyone comes before them etc. So yeah. Bye.

Writing Stuff

So I was looking in my writing books and I found this story that I started sometime last year and its about a boy named Johnathan who is really different and he and his family and friend Daughtry move to Hawaii. It is a really weird story and its 24 pages long. It starts off with him and his friend Maddison at a volcano and this gang (including daughtry) dangles them over it and then they all dies except for daughtry maddison. So yeah.

I never have liked writing sample and Im not going to start now. Anyways, I have NO MORE WRITING SAMPLES FOR THE REST OF MY LIFE!!!!!! WOOOOOOOOOOO.......... Except for at high school.... but they will probably be a bit different.... probably a bit harder too..... Someone save me.

Writing sample DONE! Kinda..

So here is some of my writing sample:

I sat at my dull desk drumming my fingers, waiting...
                                           *
It was a hot summers day, the perfect weather to be outside. However I was stuck in class with Ms.Watson,     The most dullest teacher in the world, Droaning on about the periodic table and giving us an example of every single one. "Why me?" I thought glumly.
Luckily I only had half an hour left untilI was free, free for the rest of my life seeing as tomorrow I would be packing up all my stuff so it could al be sent to New Zealand, where I would be living in just two days!
                                                                                 *

That is only a paragraph of it but I didn't think you would want to read the whole story.

Writing sample= Progress!

I have finally got a page of writing for my writing sample. It is about a girl named Odette who hates where she lives because she gets bullied and she has the worst teacher etc. Then she moves countries to New Zealand (The best country ever if you didnt already know that BTW) and her lifes because way better. So far I am up to when she has just gotten to her house in NZ but I am thinking of re writing the story again because its not that good. I like my beging, its 'I sat at my dull desk, drumming my fingers, waiting....' Then it goes into a new paragraph and into the proper story. When I have writter it better and all that I will post another blog thingy of some of it, but for now, BUH BYE!

Writing sample >:(

So this week we have to do a writing sample .....  My pages are blank. Writing samples are icky, you have to do them twice a year (usually term 1 and 3) and it has to be either a re-count (Something that has happened to you in the past) or a narrative. So far all I have is the idea about a girl who is in a classroom and i really bored, But I also want it to be humorous..... Our other teacher, Richard, says it should be around two pages, yet I can't even think of two SENTENCES.
When I was a year 5 my friends and I were obsessed with writing. We would write all day everyday. But now I find writing hard to do, especially when its for a writing sample.
YOu get graded on writing samples you see and the one that is for the end of year eight is 4E. E stands for early, M for medium and A for advanced. Get the point? Then there is the levels 1-5, well thats all that we go up to.. 
I am aiming to get a 4M but hope I will at least get a 4E.
Looks like writing a blog is way easier then a writing sample because I have nearly gotten to the limit (Of letters or whatever you would say).

About me

Dear stalkers:
Hi my name is awesome, well its really Rose but...
Anyways I am a 13 year old girl who goes to Berhampore School and I was one of the six people who signed up to do a blog for my teacher (Carly).  This is my last 13 weeks of intermediate school, seeing that I am a year 8 which means next year I will be going to high school. I will be posting 3 times a week for at least the rest of the term. So there is only one thing left to say.......... ADIOS AMIGOS!


By the way this is a picture of me and my friends Gabrielle and Meade (I'm the one in the middle)
