Term 1 Reflection

My first term of year 10 has been challenging but fun. I have gained quite a few credits and am very proud of the work I have completed over the term. The assessment I am most proud of is my excellence which i got for my scripted drama assessment because it challenged me to read between the lines and I had a very hard character portray. Next term I need to focus on my work more and not get distracted by my friends. Overall i think this term has been very successful for me.

Write an opinion piece about the campaign.

I think The Kony Campaign is trying to target an important issue. I don`t think any child should ever have be forced to leave their home, kill their parents and become slave soldiers. It would be horrible to live in fear of being kidnapped and turned into a soldier. I cant even imagine how horrible it would be to be forced to carry guns and kill your parents or even people who you might have been friends with. I think anyone who watches the Kony video will see the torture people go through every day because of one man, Joseph Kony. I hope  this video is seen by everyone so they know of the problem that needs to be solved by everyone uniting.

Book Review(:

Thirst No.1. is a book about an 18  year old looking girl. Her name is supposedly Alisa but the name she was born with is Sita. Sita was born five thousand years ago and a few years after her baby was born, a vampire even older than her threatened to kill her young child and husband unless she joined him in vampirism. He told her he loved her and hed look after her. Now five thousand years and many wars later, she finally has found someone who she is in love with , Ray. She believes Ray is a reincarnation of her husband of five thousand years ago. 

During this book, Sitas creator find her and tells her he needs to kill her in order to keep his promise to Krishna(god) She hatches up a plan to make her creator think that she will die with him, but instead she will be blown into safety. Unfortunately, Ray hears her and her creator talking and he falls out of a broken window. Sita then rushes to his aid but to no aveil?  he is dying. She then turns him into a vampire. She ends up thinking she killed her creator when her plan has been completed. Her and Ray then go back to living their lives and falling in love. 

Louise gave me this book to read. I really enjoyed how it was different to other vampire books by having a few strange twists. I really liked when the author wrote about her past and then went back to her present , it was very well done. I am reading the 2nd book currently and Louise is giving me the third one to read on the weekend. I really loved reading this book.

Hi, I`m Jennifer. I live in New Topia. I just turned 19 last week and I work as a photographer for NT Magazine. I take photos of celebrities but my real dream is to become a nature photographer but to do that I need to save up a lot of money. So for now I will stay as paparazzi.

*1 new message* I click on my inbox to read the message. It’s my boss telling me to go to Restaurante de Fancyfood because some celebrity was there. Luckily I had just finished eating at the Carls Jr. across the street. I walked over to Restaurante de Fancyfood when I was stopped by one of the waiters asking if I had a table. “No” I replied. “Well you better get one before the manager comes out. Here take this one” he said pointing to the table next to him. “Ill be back soon to get your order” he told me. I scanned the room looking for the mystery celeb rumoured to be there, when I saw the hottest guy I`d ever seen.

He had dark brown hair that fell over his eyes until he flipped it off revealing his bright blue eyes. Who is that? I ask in my head filing through any memories I had when it hit me. He was Jake Ryan. Gorgeous young actor from the hit TV series Angels. So he was the celebrity I would be stalking for tonight and for once I was happy to be paparazzi. Just then the waiter comes back “What would you like?” “Ill just have a coke” I replied. “That’s it? You need to order food if you want to stay at this table and stare at Jake” he urged. Even though I`d just finished eating a huge burger from Carls Jr. I decided ill order something “Fine, I’ll have a Caesar salad.” I said back to him. Luckily my boss pays for me to eat and take photos.

A while later the waiter brings my coke and Caesar salad. “Here ya go” he says as he places my food in front of me. I push my salad around with a fork as I watch Jake. I text my boss a picture I took on my phone and ask if it’s him. She replies yes but when I lift my head up to watch him again I see him staring back at me and making winky faces. That’s when I notice some girl sitting next to him. He says something to her and gets up and walks towards me. Inside I was freaking out but on the outside I looked calm, I hope. He walks closer and closer and then past me and to the toilets. All hope of a hot guy actually noticing me is gone. Then I remember that my boss would love an embarrassing picture of Jake. So I whip out my camera and think of a plan to get him back for flirting with me from afar.

As he walks out of the toilets I position myself so I can take a picture and run. As he walks closer I grab my coke and chuck it over his pants so it looks like he wet himself. I then take a picture while he looks around hoping everyone saw that I caused it. I run out as he chases me yelling all sorts of swear words but I’m very fast so I out run him quickly then jog over to work and show my boss the picture. “Great Work, How did you get this?” she asks. “I have my ways” I tell her. The next day all I see are teenage girls with the NT Magazine and my picture on the front page.
