Book Response Scorpio Sting

My book is: Scorpion Sting

The Author is: Justin Daa’th

The story took place in the australian desert. This was important to the story because the desert is a good scene for the book. You could really imagine you were there when nathan fell in the cave. I disliked the army when they were training, for firing fire missiles at sam and the camel boy. The character of the army changed by the end of the story when they saved them from getting shot. An important decision made by the main character was to tackle the prime minister to save his life. This book made me think about what the army really do. From reading the book I learned that the army, air force and the navy come together to do missions. The title of the story was important because the scorpions tried to sting sam. A tense moment was when the prime minister got up and was ok. The ending stays in your mind because nathan get saved and gets to hospital ok.

Book Response Anaconda Ambush

My book is: Anaconda ambush

The Author is: Justin D’aath

The story took place in the amazon jungle, this was important to the story because some of the creatures that live in the amazon are the problem.You could really imagine you were there when the giant anaconda jumped at him. I disliked the two deutch hunters when they kept  his friend as hostage and when they were trying to shoot sam For trying to get away. An important decision made by the main character was to run away from the hunters and find his uncle. This book made me think about the choice he had made because it was risky and he could have got killed. From reading the book I learned that you shouldn’t listen to people if they sound like they're faking their identity.The title of the story was important because it made you visualise what the book was about. A tense moment was when the puma was standing on him. The ending stays in your mind because he goes home after all hes been through. I'd like to read other stories by this author because he makes them really interesting. I think this is a good book for readers who like action and adventure, because theres lots of it in this book.

Book Response The busker

My book is: The busker (unbelievable)

The Author is: Paul jennings

The story took place at the beach This was important to the story because this is where the old man told him the story about the busker. You could really imagine you were there then there were people lined up to get free money. I felt sympathy for the busker when he ran out of money and then the people destroyed his house and left him stuck in the well.

The character of the busker changed by the end of the story by when he ran out of money he turned sad again.

An important decision made by the main character was to give away free money to make people like him.

From reading the book I learned to not treat someone/something how you wouldn’t want to be treated.

The title of the story was important because it make me think of what a busker was and got me starting to think.

A sad part of the book was when he left his dog stuck in the well and made its neck stay staring up.

The ending stays in your mind because the dog treats him how he treated the dog and he learned his lesson.

I'd like to read other stories by this author because he makes the stories have important messages in them.

A most triumphant tale (homework challenge)

This production was presented from students at Tauranga intermediate school. It was about two rival bands trying to beat each other in the band battle. The bands were One Dimension who were the favorites and the lip sinkers, and there were labyrinth who were trying to stop the lip sinkers win and change music history. They were greeted by Starman who came from 2023 to tell them to stop the lip sinkers re writing music history (to save the future from lip sinkers). Then labyrinths lead singer quit so she could trial for the voice, then the keyboard player and one of the electric guitarist quit too. So then the band was left with only the drummer and Guitarist. They traveled through time trying to find band members. In the end they got Jimi Hendrix and Mozart. Then they won the band battle and there band members came back. Then at the end One Dimension and Labyrinth played a song together at the end. Some of the funny parts were when teachers made quest appearances in different parts of the sho. My favorite part of the production was when labyrinth in the band battle. Heres a picture of me in the audience.

I enjoyed this show and I would give it a 5 star rating.
