Cllif

Today is my favourite day of the year because the city’s mayor open’s up the park for people to come and play. Cliff loves this day, but he thought it was just going to be the normal grand opening.

But the government had plans to move Cliff somewhere else, but Cliff had no idea about this plan. The people came had fun everyone was jumping off Cliff into the river below him. But after everybody left the builders that the Mayor hired came and took Cliff away from his home.

The next year some people noticed that Cliff was gone, it wasn’t that year. People were always jumping off Cliff into the river. Every one of those who went to the park each year decreased, each year because Cliff wasn’t their. Everyone who went to the park needed to pay to enter.  The government decreased the price from 15 dollars a person to 5 dollars, so more people will go.

Even tho the changed the price to 5 dollars a person, no one went, it just wasn’t the same without Cliff. The government noticed that no one was going, so they put back the one thing that everybody loved. And that was Cliff. The End   

Uncle Jewiir

This week I had to write an essay about a character I found interesting from the Novel A Long Walk To Water, and the character i found interesting was Uncle Jewiir, and the reason why i chose Uncle Jewiir is in the essay. 

In the Novel A Long Walk To Water, by Linda Sue Park"a character I found interesting was Salva's brave, thoughtful Uncle. Uncle Jewiir, he was the character who hooked me into the story because he is a great leader and independent. Uncle Jewiir was very interesting because he was always leading a big group of people. I really thought that Uncle Jewiir was a great leader, and he had so much bravery, and he was thoughtful.

A character trait I thought was perfect for Uncle Jewiir was bravery. When Salva feared the lion that killed a friend of Salva's, Uncle Jewiir helped Salva through the lion incident when maybe Uncle Jewiir was also scared himself. When no one wanted to lead the big of 50-100 people, Uncle Jewiir was brave enough to lead that group. Every night Uncle Jewiir would go hunting for himself Salva and also the large groups of people, Uncle Jewiir was thee only person with a gun, and Uncle Jewiir was brave enough to go out into the dark by himself, to hunt for food.

When Uncle Jewiir was leading a group of people through the desert, he could see small group of men, they all had guns in there hands, the two groups of people both interacted, the small group of men told thee other group to get on the ground. The leader of group of men stripped Uncle Jewiir's gun from his hands, and thew Uncle Jewiir against a tree, all the men were going to kill all of the people, but Uncle Jewiir didn't let them, and Uncle Jewiir was so thoughtful he said, "no kill me instead. One of the men from the group killed Uncle Jewiir, Salva was so sad that one of those men killed Salvas last bit of family.

I also thought that leadership was a great character trait for Uncle Jewiir because, he was always leading large groups of people through out the whole story. When Salva was eleven years of age he left Sudan because of the rebels that started a war with the government, once he left there was also a large group of people, everybody didn't like Salva, because the group of people thought that he will just slow everybody down. But when Uncle Jewiir found that group of people. Uncle Jewiir became the leader of the group because he was the only person with a gun, but when everyone found out that Salva was the nephew of Uncle Jewiir everyone started to treat Salva with respect.

Overall Uncle Jewiir was brave, thoughtful, and a awesome leader, Uncle Jewiir showed that he was also really protective the way he protected Salva, he also showed that he was hardworking, because it would of been really hard for him to go hunt himself Salva and also the large groups of people.

Rugby VS Football

Rugby is a greater sport than Football because you get to express yourself with anger. For

example, if your feeling angry on a Saturday morning. Your have a Rugby game to play, your

can just express yourself by tackling someone, or kicking the ball or running with the ball.

Also Rugby is a NZ sport most little kids growing up in NZ play Rugby or wanting to be in the

All Black. A lot of people support the All Black or any Super Rugby team. We don’t have the

best football team or supporters. But for Rugby most of NZ support them.

Rugby is a really fun sport there's so many things you can do, like kick, tackle, run with the

ball, and you can actually touch the ball with you hands, there's a line out, scrums. And it's a

really fiscal contact sport.
