      Jayden opened his eyes slowly and infirmly. Blurry flickering light from candles shone into his eyesight. Floor boards were creaking, wind was howling and heavy droplets were banging on the ancient dusty windows. He was shivering and curling into a ball in one corner of the cage yearning for some warmth. Something cold was dripping from his neck. He wiped it with his grubby finger, and fresh blood oozed out. “Ouch”, he murmured , sharp stinging feeling exploded by his neck.

      “Where am I ” , screamed Jayden, looking around like a radar scanning every inches in the room. A boulder ,  covered with blood, was on the floor near the cage. He made attempts to grab it and bashed the lock on the cage open, but it was failed. Suddenly, heavy footsteps were echoing in the corridor and became closer and louder.A tall figure, with long stripy black cape , appeared. His eyes were full of bloodshot, like the spider webs covering the white wall. He is tall and skinny as if a skeleton was wrapped in a cloth.  A permanent smirk was always on his face with 2 sharp fans and a smear of blood by his mouth.

      “My name is Vladmir. I will raise you and make your blood as my yummy dinner. DON’T EVEN DARE ESCAPING.” laughed the creature, disappearing along with the stamping in the castle.

      Jayden recalled what the Australian said about the legend of the Vampire, and all his body hair standing up together with the horror.

      The government believe it is auspicious to have the chips so they coaxed the technology company to create a chip with programs that can manipulate robots to work for people. Abundant numbers of robots were created. The engineer implanted a chip into the robot’s brain. It was successful and the technology company and government decided to continue implanting chips into other robots’ brain. The more they made the more intelligent the robots became.  Human became exuberant and ambitious after great success. However, they were not satisfied and still thought the progress was meagre. The programs were kept developed until it got out of control, thanks to the berefting the proper supervision from the government.  The robots that were chipped became erudite without knowing by human. The robots started to make their own chips and implanting in the humans’ brain turning them into robots and being under the robots’ control. The whole world was banned. Human lost their memories, their feelings and were deployed to work and hurt each other.
      An army of  human-robot was built and trained to more chips into human’s brain. The robots went to  U.S where there were the largest population to get more human turning into robots. Ultimately, the robots conquered the U.S. The countries on the earth were occupied by robots one after another, the whole world were taken over by robots.
      Only one family living in the U.S was still human. They are Mitchells, the survivors.  Ben Mitchell was a very intelligent boy who were specialized in programing. Mum and Dad were all caught and implanted chips turning into robots. He vowed to revise the program in order to save the whole world.  Sally Mitchell, Ben’s sister , was an medical scientist. She attempted to discover the medicine that could be used to restore people’s memory. The fight just began.

      Buck used to have a unconstrained and comfortable life with Judge Miller and her children. He lived at a big house in the sun-kissed Santa Clara Valley.He was treated as a king ,not a house-dog or a kennel dog and could go hunting with Judge Miller’s sons. Judge Miller ‘s grandsons were always carried on Buck’s back ,which Buck really enjoyed.

      It was a calamity for Buck that he was kidnapped by Manuel by tying a rope round his neck firmly, followed by starving for two days. A club hit him rudely but Buck managed to survive. He was fed with water and chunks of raw meat. Since then he was constrained and had to obey the orders , or his life would be put at risk.

      Mr Cater owed a lot of debt , so he brought Maia to the Amazon to live with his family. But it was not for looking after Maia, instead he wanted to occupy her money that were left by Maia’s parents.

      Maia was a little girl , whose parents died in the train crash unfortunately. She was adopted by Mr Murray, a lawyer, and went to the best school in England, the May Fair Academy for young ladies. Mr Murray arranged the caters who live in Amazon to look after her.

      Maia thought that she would be able to explore the Amazon and have a tremendous life there with the Caters. But when she arrived, she was so disappointed that she was locked up in the house like a prisoner, and had tinned food rather than freshly cooked meals.

      So Maia’s expectation was destroyed, and author created the tension between Maia and the Caters.

      When the Carter’s house was on fire, Mr cater knew that Maia was in her room ,but he didn’t go to fetch her and save her, he even didn’t bother to try. Instead, he went to his study to get his collection of glass eyes.  Fortunately, Maia clambered out the window and escaped. Here, the author built another tension that bring Maia back to the May Fair Academy in England.

      My favourite part is chapter 8 and chapter 9.

      Those chapters talk about the little prince keeping a close eye on a new shoot in case it was a baobab. once it stopped growing taller, it began to blossom. The little prince was surprised to find that the plant was a beautiful rose. The rose asked the little prince to attend to her needs and take care of her. The little prince admired the rose and looked after her very carefully. But, the rose began to torment the prince by telling lies in order to get the little prince to heed her. So  little prince decided to leave and explore the spaces that he had never been to.

      I think the little prince is good-hearted. He watered the rose and looked after rose very carefully. He put  a dome over the rose in the evening  to prevent her from getting cold. He admired the rose but he just didn’t know how to love the rose.

      The rose is a well prepared flower. She chose her colour and sorted her petals with great care. She did not wish to appear like a crumpled poppy. She really want the little prince to heed to her, but she didn’t know how to express herself , instead, she lied and used cough to hide her embarrassment, which upset the little prince and made him leaving the planet.

      We should express ourselves truthfully and tell others what we want straightly.

      sorry for late submitting the homework from lesson 2.

      Dear Diary,

      Recently, I received an invitation to the International Astronomical Congress after I found a new little planet.

      Today, I went to I.A.C. After I arrived at I.A.C , the security guard requested me to go through the security door. I was told to put all my belongings on the table to be checked if there was any weapons or dangerous stuffs. I was allowed to go to the waiting  room. Not long, I started to present my findings to the people in the meeting. I told them  all about the little planet that I had found. Unfortunately, my report was not accepted by the people in the meeting. There was no claps or response, instead they shook  their heads and I heard some chanted “he was wearing a Turkish clothes and he must be Turkish.”” How can Turkish people know about planets?” “It is queer that Turkish talk about planets.”

      I was so embarrassed, as I did something wrong. All my hard work had been wasted and meaningless to a group of people that only can judge me from my dressing.

      I was silenced and turned around. What a shame!

      Firstly, I think the narrator gave up his magnificent career as a painter too easily.

      The young narrator tried his best to draw a masterpiece of a boa constrictor to show the adult after he read the book. Those adults couldn’t understand the picture of the boa constrictor. So the narrator drew another masterpiece to explain it to the adults. The adults advise was to lay aside narrator’s drawing of boa constrictor whether from the inside or the outside and to devote himself to geography,history,arithmetic and grammar. The narrator was disheartened by the adults. Therefore he gave up becoming a painter.

      Secondly, the narrator had a complaint about the adults.

      The narrator’s complaint was that it is tiresome for children to explain one thing to adults as they couldn’t understand children well.

      Lastly, I think the narrator is very patient.

      The narrator tried his best to explain his masterpiece to the adults. But the adults couldn’t understand the masterpiece. Therefore, he made another attempt by drawing another masterpiece to make the adults understand what it is.

      My favourite  part of the book was when the bus and does in Efrafa escaped from General Woundwort’s control. General Woundwort was a tyrant, and he treated his does and bucks as if they were prisoners. General Woundwort sent officers to guard does and bucks to prohibited them run away. Does and bucks were split up by different marks that were engraved on paws. I believed they were melancholic, pain and hopeless because they had no freedom and no respect.

      It was blessed that Hazel and Bigwig set those bucks and does free after General Woundwort and his soldiers were defeated. Hazel invited them to Honeycomb, a warren full of love , to settle in. THe bucks and does went to a place that was pain free, freedom, cheerful life and respect.

      Captain Holly died in the battle, sacrificing his life to save Hyzethly, his dear friend. I can learn that help others and save their lives are valuable no matter how dangerous the circumstance is even we might lose our life.

      Dear diary,

      It was my first day as a leader. we decided to go toward the down, where there were lots of green patches and abundant of food to survive. I asked bigwig to pack some carrots, Dandelion to get the medicine ready and Bluebell to prepare a few bottles of water in case we could not reach water. Fiver came to my home to discuss the route to the down. It took us a long time to check the map and found the safest route, less frays and snares. It is plausible to get more does in order to build a new warren, as safe as we had before. Therefore, battles will be inevitable. I will choose Bigwig , an intrepid rabbit, to become the commander ,leading the does during the battles. Fiver had a precious gift-the sixth sense. I will listen to Fiver’s suggestion before making any judgment, although he is petulant occasionally. I , as a leader, have to be kind and polite, like a father so the whole warren will feel safe with me. I have to be wise and intelligent, like a teacher giving solutions to the warren when they are in the difficulty. I have to be courageous and fearless like a hero defending for the warren. I knew it would be a hard job, but I would take the liability bravely.

      I felt miserable for those rabbits to leave their cosy and pleasant home. They also had to leave their friends and family.The wood that the rabbits lived in were covered with primroses. Those rabbits knew every patches in the wood,  as familiar as their home.  However, they had to leave. It was precarious to go through the places that they never been. Some rabbits might die on the way to find a new warren. There could be forays happened unexpectedly so they must be prepared to battle at any time or even face sudden death. They had to be precautious of going into a snare or being shot by human. Furthermore, they had to be cautious of choosing who to trust with, in order to tell who were their friends that to cooperate with and who are their enemies that they have to fight against. The chef rabbit had huge liability to defend the warren or might need to scarify themselves. Therefore, a great leader is essential when they were toward to unknown future.

      My favorite part of the book was chapter 48 and 49.

      After Black Beauty had suffered a lot of pain, she was finally reunited with Joe Green, a young man that used to look after her tenderly. Beauty will never be sold and can ultimately settle in a lovely place with a kind master. she will have merciful life when she stays with her friend , Merrylegs, after a long separation, although Ginger died unexpectedly.

      After Birtwick stables reopens , all the horses can go back there and have a merciful without foul experience any more. Therefore, all the horses were free from their stalls into a large pleasant meadow.

      I believe all the horses there will be defended and stroked nicely by their kind owner.

      Dear diary,

      My new owner was very cruel. He gave me no food and no rest. This morning, I was sleeping in my stall , feeling starved. Suddenly, a banging sound broke the quiet morning. I opened my eyes as wide as I could to locate where the sound came from. It was my master, holding a spoon and banging on a pot fiercely. My body was trembling and my teeth were chattering. I was petrified. My master put away the pot and grabbed the saddle to place on my back.  The saddle was so heavy that I couldn’t stand firmly. But I have to be obedient to my master or I would get whipped.  He took me out and rode on me. I galloped and galloped until he whipped me intensely. I was so frustrated that was determined to not to tolerate him any longer. I stopped , and threw him off my back .
