The smartly dressed man, who was wearing a grey suit, ordered his so called ‘minions’ into the brightly lit room with a huge table in the middle. The table was in fact a scale model of all the islands Within a 200 mile radius.

“Jeeves get me my glasses” shouted the man. “Yes sir” Jeeves stuttered. Every one was scared of this man because of his stern voice and often rude mannerisms.

“you know why I have called you people in here today, we must find it before the amateurs do, my name is at stake here you do understand that don’t you?” The man ended it there. “You’re glasses sir.” Jeeves stuttered again. “It’s to late now you idiot” he exclaimed. “Sorry sir” Jeeves scuttled off like a scolded dog.

extract b

In the beginning of extract b Dickens gives me a eerie feeling because he made time go really slow by describing the clock. But then all of a sudden the speed picks up when there is a flash of light, I see this when dickens says “light flashed up a room in an instant.” I would compare this to a horror film when is really slow then there Is a big shock.

In the speech part of extract b, the sentences are quite short this gives me the feeling that scrooge is feeling normal but when the light flashes the sentences get longer so its almost like he is scared because his breath

how does dickens show scrooge as a character

In the Christmas carol book scrooge is the main character. In my eyes i see scrooge as a very bitter and heartless person. I often compare scrooge to a witch, this os because in the old times witches were hated where they live. But in this circumstance they have to respect scrooge because hes the one that pays nearly everyomes wages.

Scrooge is a miser which means that he never wants to spend money because he likes knowing the more money he has the more power he has. In this sense it makes me feel that scrooge may have a power problem brcause as a child he may have noy been liked and never had attention so now he craves all the power he got.

Christmas comes earlier every year

Even though everyone knows Christmas falls on the same year, I mean come on a year is 365 days it’s not hard. I believe that it feels like Christmas comes earlier every year even though it does not.

As we get older Christmas is no different to any other day. As a child Christmas is about getting new toys or the latest game, so children are literally counting down the days until Christmas. Generally when we are excited about something it feels like time goes on forever. But when your are older we do not realise how close Christmas is getting because we have more important things to be worrying about than something that is a whole year away. So while being side tracked the months just fly by and by the time you realise its near Christmas, so you have to run around like a headless chicken picking up last minute presents for family or friends.

Christmas is over as quick as it comes around, its 3 months of preparing for one day that ends in a heartbeat. I think as much as your parent like Christmas they rather it not burn a hole in your pocket. My grandma always says “gone are the day you can buy a child some sweets for a Christmas present”. Nowadays its all about the latest gadget or games console so it burns an even bigger hole in that pocket that children belive is never ending this mean parent have to save for twice as long.

So in my opinion Christmas does “come earlier every year” even though it doesn’t.

 

 

film review

Over the weekend I watched San Andreas the film that stars the Rock. In my opinion I found the film very good and was edited very well. The film is about one of the world strongest earthquake occurs on the San Andreas fault line. The Rock is a fireman who is divorced to his wife and his daughter is going to university, but because the earthquake occurs she is unable to go. The Rock’s daughter gets lost in the earthquake and her father is on a mission to find his daughter and make sure she’s safe.

I really liked this film and I would watch it again.

Dystopia novel

“ww3 the worst fight of my life” The oil spitting mechanical ravens swooped and squawked at the helpless soldiers, and played with them like toys. Tall skyscrapers  were clouded by  the burning wood. The empty rusty train pulled into his last stop the fear on its face. The livid and evil monsters lurked under the water planning their attack. Families hiding in their basements worrying about how they are going to survive this outrageous war. buildings burnt to shreds, the crackle of the fire silenced the city, was it over?

“BOOM”  a bomb went off everyone was startled. I wondered who would do such a thing. Then it came to me it must have been Dr doom the evilest citizen of  bat city “BOOM” another one went off. Suprisingly the bombs were about 10 minutes between each other. The only problem is his lair was on the other side of the town, I’ve got to stop this i thought

instantly I ran in and out of alleyways ducked under poles I ran and jumped until I reached dr dooms EVIL lair. From the outside it looked like an innocent grandmas sweet shop bit in fact on he other side of the door an evil wrinkly old man who planned his evil schemes.
