Once essay. (what kind of a child is Felix)

May 9, 2016 / / 0 Comments

From the book “Once” I can tell that Felix has a good upbringing. This is because his parents have sent him to an orphanage and this tells me that his parents have basically saved his life. In addition, what I could explore is that his parents have taught him well in good imaginary skills. Plus, he has good manners, he is quite curious and most importantly, he is very friendly. Once I was living in an orphanage” is a quote  from “Once” that shows he has a good upbringing.

Now to consider that, Felix has got good communication skills and he is good at interacting with other people. Not to mention, I can tell that Felix is good at talking to other people because when he was in the attic with all the other children the kids where begging Felix to tell a story. Also, I have realised that he is very creative and imaginative with his stories. “Can we have a story please Felix?” Is a quote that proves he is good at communicating.

Furthermore, Felix uses his imagination creatively because he knows how to tell stories that are informative and interesting. He also writes interesting stories about his mum and dad in his journal. This tells me that he enjoys to read books and to write them . “I’ve written stories about mum and dad”are the stories that he wrote and his a quote to prove this point.

He is also rule-breaking but does it for the best. This is because at the beginning of the story Felix was in an orphanage, he escaped to find his parents when he wasn’t supposed to but he did because he loves his parents. He is also very curious because in the book before he found Zelda he heard gunshots and people screaming and went a bit closer to see it. However, he could’ve been shot and killed. Now to consider that, he is friendly because he is kind and he looked after Zelda and he is calm. So this  is who I think Felix is.

 

How are horror stories effective.

May 6, 2016 / / 0 Comments

Horror stories are stories that have to be scary or quite scary and they should make us feel suspense and make us ask questions. My class and I have looked at a horror story by Anthony Horowitz and the name of the story is the man in the yellow face. The title doesn’t sound like a horror story but it sounds like a mystery story because you woulden’t see a man in a yellow face unless they paint it yellow. However, the story is a bit scary in it is a good children’s book. Also what this book has is that the setting is in a place where you would think it is not scary but the more you read the more suspense happens and the more scareer you feel. So I have used these tips to make my own horror story but I haven’t really started in a non-scary place. I started it in a comic store where a 13 year old boy is getting bullied and buys a comic with all the horrific creature and animals inside. So when he reads a page it will cause a disaster. So this is how I think a horror story and how it can affect from the way you write it.

 

My Mystery and Horror story

May 6, 2016 / / 0 Comments

On an ordinary Wednesday morning, there was and 13 year old boy who was always bullied in school because he wore glasses and people called him Nerdy Ferby. So one day he went to a small,old comic store to get his favourite comic store to get his favourite horror book that had zombies, monsters, disgusting giant insects and creepy dolls, that are so scary that you wouldn’t want to look at. So while he was listening listen to music he bought the comic. However, the shopkeeper was warning him about the book but Ferby did hear a word he was saying. He just took the book and went home.                                                    

So while he was reading he went to a page and read about  Creepsy the doll and when he finished the page… The door creaked. Nerves where stinging his skin. Suddenly a creepy doll with knitting marks around his head and body, creepy hands that have 3 fingers and approached slowly towards the bed. Ferby was screaming and what he did was that he ripped the page of the doll and threw it in the bin . Suddenly. It disappeared and Ferby was relieved and went back to sleep. However, it was a nightmare.Or was it…

The next day Ferby woke up and walked to school nervously as if it was a haunted mansion. Strolling along, the bully walked up to Ferby and quickly took the comic out of his bag without Ferby noticing. ‘LUNCHTIME!!!!’ shouted the kids as the bell rang. As Ferby walked towards the lunch hall he saw the bully reading his comic. Ferby acted quickly and ran towards him by shouting STOP! STOP! But it was too late. It all went silent. Mysterious creatures started to approach towards the kids. It was zombies with terrifying faces. Everyone started screaming and exiting the school buildings. Ferby nervously looked at the zombies and he slowly turned around to look for the comic. Arggggh!! Shouted the zombies and Ferby ran quickly to get the book and he immediately ripped the page and the zombies disappeared. “Phew!”said Ferby relieved.

Quickly Ferby ran home because he didn’t want to be in school alone. As he was running the book fell out of his bag and landed on a page, with a doll that can turn into a human.The only way for her to stay as a human is by touching people in the arm and when she lets go the person that she touched turns into a doll. Strolling across the pavement was a year 11. He stopped. Found the comic. Picked  it up. Went home reading the page about the doll. When Ferby went home he changed to his clothes and went to his bag and was about to throw his comic in the river. However His book wasn’t in his bag. Ahhhh!! There was a screaming 3 houses away. Ferby quickly ran out of the house and ran towards the screaming. The door was fully open a creepy doll was limping out of the door and was wanting to grab his arm. Quickly the Ferby picked up the comic for on the ground and ripped the whole book.It all went silent.

There was no more trouble in there again. Or was there. There was still on more page. Waiting to  be read…
