School holidays

The school holidays is very fun because we get to hang out with our families and take a day of from school. Next year we willhave a new fresh start back at school because we will be seeing new faces joining us from parts of countries.

So have a great holiday and merry Christmas to you all who are gone on there hidays be safe and remember to come back to school safe as well, and good bye Point England see you next year

Authors often construct texts to encourage readers to reflect on their own values and beliefs. Consider the values and beliefs embedded in Lake of the Dead and the effect these have had on you.

Value/belief embedded in the text

How the author’s values/beliefs reflected/challenged my own values/beliefs

Mt Darius has things that catches people’s eyes because of the things that live their. Teenagers always like to do something really crazy like travel all the way to Mt Darius with only a little bit of supplies. Mt Darius can be very difficult to find in very different ways because the weather over there is very mysterious  from some kind of fog or rain. The 2 survivors that still lived  had made an effort to try to get out of Mt Darius to try live their lives before they expire inst what had happened to their friends.

If our were on that journey I would turn back like what that other was trying to do because it looks like a difficult. My values reflected on the part when they were trying to climb down the tree to the bottom because I didn’t know how to tie a bowline until know. How did they attempt to find there way out because Mt Darius is a big place made out of many wonders. My wonders will be about the place it sounds like that it was beautiful but until the volcano erupted and everything turned black.

Today's work is about lake of the dead because it helps know about adventures and discoveries for younger kids to know and learn at the same time.

Reader Bias: Lake of the Dead

Readers have personal opinions and feelings (bias) that influence the way they interpret a story. Record your interpretation of characters, situations and events in the text and describe how personal bias affected

Characters/situations/events

• The characters of the story is Greer,Vinnie,Carlos,Tom and Matt.
• The event was about them going on a big journey to Mt Darius but only 2 of them make it out alive.
• The situation was that they starved for 48 hours and had to eat a dear that was lying dead in a valley of smoke.
• Some other events were,as they try to survive they bury an old man because they didn’t want to leave lying around.
• I love the fact that this story tells us about 2 brave teenagers surviving for their lives to get away from the volcano
• That their friends get buried under the rocks but they journeyed this far from home. Were the 2 friends that survived get along so well because didn’t sound like they were getting along very well.

My Interpretation

•  My Interpretation is how old were they because this story sounds more like a teens story. 
• It was so sad that the characters died from a big volcano that spread lava out of nowhere and suddenly the ground starts to shake as well.
• Why do they really have to go to see Mt Darius for they already knew that there was a big volcano that erupted for over a few years back.
• Mt Darius is a mountain that has creepy things that stay and live there, but one of them is called a serpent and   it lives inside a lake that is called the lake of the dead.
• The characters in this was brave enough to go on a journey to Mt Darius but they die but it was so sad just watch them lose their  lives.
• I thought that Mt Darius didn’t even exist because people haven’t talked about it much but now it’s becoming a legend.

How personal bias affected my interpretation

• How there were like heaps of girls with the boys but they all die but except for one girl.
•     The way how Greer  was trying to get the meat out of that dear but if that were me I would cut it crucet like his one.
•     I think that the volcano that lives on Mt Darius is the first volcano that ever lived since we weren’t born yet.
• How far is Mt Darius from New Zealand because the volcano that lives on Mt Darius is really suspicious.
• Is Mt Darius a dangerous place, their are mysterious things  

•  Was it really beautiful on Mt Darius because it sounds really nice just listening to them say it.
