Term 1; Miss Gay's reading challenge

I read a piece called Norse Earth creation myth. after reading the passage i could straight away say that i 100% believe this is a myth because it says the icy mountains in the heaven realm were licked by a cow until it melted and i just didn't believe that at all. it says the earth was created by a god named Odin killing an evil god Ymir, and Ymir's body formed earth with his blood being water, land being flesh, hair being trees and the mountains being bones. the first people ever on earth were made out of a fallen tree and carved into human forms and breathed air into them by Odin. I don't belie~ve the myth and i don't think most people would believe it.

What New Zealand is to me

.What New Zealand Is To Me.

Basicly   New Zealand is home to me. I was born in New zealand, raised in New Zealand and I've never left the country! New Zealand is open and happy to share cultures. Im lucky to have food, a roof to sleep under, a bed to sleep in, an xbox for satisfaction and beverages to drink.

New Zealand is smaller than other countries which is better because then we’re not much of a target to terrorist groups like Isis. New zealand’s also good for fishing with lots of large and exotic fish but if you want to see some big fish I recommend stewart island. But these you can't catch with a simple old rod, and these are great white sharks. the Great white sharks in Stewart Island are some of the largest great whites in the world. Watch out if your going for a dip in the Stewart island water afar!

#1.Random fact: New zealand is the 7th safest country In the world.

#2.Random fact: The longest place name in the world is Taumatawhakatangihangakoauauotamateapokaiwhenuakitanatahu, a hill in Hawkes Bay.

I’m really lucky to be a New Zealander with my loving New Zealander family… apart from my brothers.

Im lucky to have fresh water, barely any pollution healthy environments and grocery stores that actually have food in them instead of dead bodies.

.The Luge Memoir.

Memoirs

.The Luge.

As I remember all the fun and exciting things I did in the large welcoming town of Queenstown I can Picture one of the biggest tourist attractions in queenstown, the Luge.

I can remember going up the small compact contraptions officially named the Gondola.

Next I picture how terrified I was (I’m afraid of heights) going up, when we reached the first platform I wanted to go back down, I was that scared.

Next you would have to be advised to grab a protective helmet,size ranged from XS to L. I fitted large perfectly.

Of course more boring waits in the next large queue to get to the skyline trams.

They would take you up to the very top of the mountain.  More queues ahead.

I can remember the carts and what they looked like, they black, they weren't to technical apart from the braking and accelerating system. They would be power by the handle bars but as I said nothing technical. It’s natural because when you’d rest the handle bars in the middle on the green section you would go at most speed because it controls the slope of the wheels and the cart itself putting more weight at the front so it would move forward. If you’d drop it completely forwards it would stop instantly because the wheels would go in with a big stop.

The scenic route, it was quite boring with no hills and normal turns  but then I went the experienced route and that had steep sloped corners, steep drops causing you to catch a second of air time. that, I won’t forget.

Thank you Mum for encouraging me to stand up for what I was once afraid of, like the Luge.you went down with the first time and stayed with me the whole time.

Blimp tragedy

Learning Intention; to write a recount with the correct format.

The blimps were rising slowly above our heads while we had to stand in the cold. “No wonder they always worry about their safety before they take off, they rely on a bloon” No one laughed and Jordan left embarrassed. Me, Marcus followed him out and he boarded a blimp parked next to the shed so I ran and grabbed the rope from the blimp and then hopped on and grasped onto his arm and tugged him off the blimp he tried to start a brawl and I walked backwards into the shed and through the crowd, Jordan was on the lookout.

I began heading to the other side of the shed to escape and got stood up by guards wondering why I’m in a rush, I had to tell a white lie that I won’t regret. Outside and up high were lots of blimps hovering over the large lake with thousands of people below. The blimps were moving down slowly then speeding up, “Engines losing fuel at the same time?” I knew something wasn’t right. Black liquid begins to pour from almost every blimp. Looking thick, and appears to be petrol. Slowly dropping the blimp riders screaming out at the control panel workers but they’ve been sabotaged, everyone starts to evacuate, Jordan comes around a corner tied up with a gun to his head. I thought of being a hero but i’m too much of a wimp.

Clenching on the trigger, the man in black holding Jordan threw him on the wet grass and began kicking him in the ribs and stomping his back. I ran behind the side of the shed and grabbed an old rusted pole leaning against it. Stealthily I walked around the whole shed and swung the pole at the man abusing Jordan, when he was on the ground I jump on him with my knees and I was sure he was out cold. I got up and unnecessarily wiped my chest like in those old movies. I walked towards Jordan and picked him up and untied him.

One of the blimps touched with the water and sank under all I could think of is if the poor man was alive, Then I could see someone just bloop out of the water and then I cheered with myself like I’m a loner. 10 to 15 minutes later all the blimps began to fall and the police arrived I wasn’t sure how police heard about this problem, My only guess was that one of the bystanders called before they left. The police quickly hopped out of their cars and one cop went so quick out his car he tripped on the side of the car and hit his face, I tried my best not to laugh. The cops quickly grabbed the man in black and threw him straight into handcuffs then pushed him in the car and thanked me because they must have thought I called, I took it anyway. The cops left with sirens on high volume. Police helicopters flew in and hovered over the water with a ladder hanging down and collected the struggling blimp riders out of the water. I walked of like in a dramatic movie but my shoelaces were untied and I tripped up. I eventually made it to my car and left.

It was an intense feeling and I’m glad it’s all over, though Jordan wasn’t the best person around I still cared when he got attacked. I hope I never experience anything that graphic again.

.Shoe Escape.

On one toasty summer morning I couldn’t see at all but all I could hear was loud and voices surrounding me I shut my eyes and used my laces to block my ears/ lace holes. Then the room I was in magically lifted up very high then the roof of the dark room got completely ripped off but I wasn't floating magically. I wasn’t floating, the hands of what I thought was a giant had picked my whole room up and grasped onto my flimsy arms/ shoelaces and pulled me right out and I was swinging so far up in the air I thought to myself “This is the end THIS IS THE END!!!!!!” but my lousy judgment was incorrect all the beast did with me was furiously fill my insides with these things with 5 tips and then my brother Ethan Milks on the left  thingy with 5 tips was all chill he just hated the whole “ touch the ground thing because he’s heard me talk about that old horror book for shoes called the gummy catastrophe. The person wearing us was called Corby Spud and he was the owner of beds’r’us but he didn’t really take care of it and did business for the company, all he did was slowly tramp around the store to find the comfiest bed and then take his shoes off and sleep in them.

He usually scares off customers with his silent but deadly farts. Anyway back to us and Corby, once he tried us on he slipped us off his 5 tipped… you know what i’m just gonna call them feet so yeah he slipped us of his feet then put us back in our calm rooms and I thought the nightmare was over but no Corby or someone else picked us up and we began to move then we randomly got thumped on a hard surface then our house got destroyed again and then we got  grabbed out and this piece of technology or something shined a red light at my piercing/ price tag then Corby ripped my piercing clean off and I screamed in pain but those annoying deaf giants didn’t hear a thing and we kept on getting tortured.

One year later me and Ethan had enough of this and began to build little jet packs for the sides of us to escape out of gun powder, metal wires, bolts and metal sheets I thought it would never work but it turns out, so conveniently, Corby Spuds was crazy evil scientist and he had jet packs right behind us but we had no clue how to adjust them on but then we thought of using bolts and metal sheets, I firstly did Ethen milks for him by just holding the metal sheet up against his side and twisted the bolts into the sheet so I would stay then I grabbed the jetpacks and screwed those onto the metal sheets then used the wires that were so conveniently sitting behind me and used them to make a working button that’s taped to his nose so he can press it with his hands/laces.  He did the same to me. Me and ethan tested the jetpacks to go for a small bit then we threw ourselves outside then we said hasta la vista baby! And we took off into the world but outta no where godzilla RKO’S the shoes to the city floor with a cabloomy . the shoes didn’t expect to have found godzilla because he was in child care because his mum left him when he was 2 months old but still destructive, anyway, Ethan and I slowly got out of the way and started to fight back by using the ultimate move the shoe sniffer which is when me and Ethan rub our stinky inside soles up against godzillas nose and he collapses causing global earthquakes then Daniel the S.W.A.T man came and simply threw a paper plane and then the shoes completely dissolved in front of Daniel's eyes, he said “ EAASY!!!!” THE END.         By Flynn
