Judith wright (1915-2000)
The name of the poet we have been studying this week is Judith wright. She was born on 31 May 1915 In Armidale, New South Whales, Austarlia and died On 26 June, 2000 of a heart attack, shortly after attending an aboriginal reconciliation in Canberra. Judith Wright was well known for her poems about nature and life. 3 interesting facts about Judith is that 1. When wright was in her 20's she started to become progressively death 2. All her poetry were inspired by her experiences or the countries she was in at the time. 3. She was a passionate environmentalist who fought for her country and it's rights. She also fought to save rain forests, the great barrier reef and sand mining in Fraser island just to name a few. The poems we are studying in class at the moment by her are woman to child, bora ring and the surfer.

City of Bones
I have recently started to read City of Bones which is part of the Mortal instruments series. The book I last read Clockwork Angel was actually written Part of the series as it shows What happened before the people from city of bones were even born. So far it is about a girl who finds out she is part shadow hunter and that her mother was once married to an evil fallen shadow hunter who they thought had been killed.

Clockwork Angel
I have recently started and finished the book Clockwork Angel which was a great book set in the 17-1800's but also had a magical world to it. There are different parts of this world, the mundanes (humans), werewolfs, vampires, downworlders, warlocks and guardians. The guardians protect the mundanes and are pretty much the police. The book is about this girl called Tessa who has the power to shape shift so many bad people want to get their hands on her powers. She stays with the guardians who look after her and help to find her brother who turns out to be a traitor. It was a great book filled with action, romance and suspense and I cannot wait for the next book in the series to come out......!
