Finished!!

I have finished the book Dog Boy and have decided it is perfect for this assignment as it contains many examples of rags to riches. It was a great read aswell and I am dissapointed to have finished it as I wanted it to keep going....

English Draft

today in class we started our first lesson correcting our drafts for Chineses Cinderella. Once i finished I sent it off to the whole class so they could help me with suggestions to improve my essay. This way at least one person should be able to help me! I have continued reading Dog Boy and decided that so far it definetly shows the transition from rags to riches. It has also affected me as when it is sad i feel sad for around an hour and when it is happy i feel happy!

From Claire De Lune to Dog Boy

After reading the first few chapters of Claire De lune I have decided it is not a strong enough book to do for my oral. With the help of Kona, Nina and Mrs Marcus Sangeren I have chosen the book Dog Boy. I have only read the back but it looks very interesting and I look forward to reading it tonight!

Claire de Lune

For my English Oral I have started reading Claire De Lune which so far I have gathered is a poor, mute ballerina. When she was young her famous ballerina mother died on stage at the end of her dance. No one realized until everyone stood up to give a round of applause and she never rose from her position on the ground. It turns out her heart was vey weak so she died from doing the dance. This is believed to be the reason Claire De Lune is mute as she was a baby at the time.

Chinese cinderella

This term we have been reading and learning about a book called Chinese Cinderella. The book is about a little girl that is rejected by her family except for her aunt, grandfather and third brother. She is tortured by her stepmother Niang who is a manipulative, impulsive person and left to feel like nothing. However, she strives on to gain her fathers attention and even gets sent to England to study! I found this a very nice book and I hope the author feels better now that the past is behind her
