The Glowing Tree

The Glowing Tree

At the northwest of New Zealand there is a town called Kaitaia. In the middle of town there grows a glowing tree. It is the only tree that glows in the world. 

There lives a man called Alex, his job was being the mayor of town. The local people of town thought that they should cut the tree or sell it for repairs of business. Others thought they should turn it into a statue so that it represents Kaitaia. 

The people of town thought  they were doing the right thing because it was destroying people’s business, and costing the townspeople money the people got furious. The people made a complaint notice to Alex, that they should cut the tree. Alex gathered the people at the tree. He said “We shall not cut this tree because we do not know what causes might become of this”. One man asked the“what will happen if we don’t take charge, what if we die” the local people started panicking.

Alex said they should not worry . A man yelled out “easy for u to say you’ll still get paid while we lose our businesses” Alexis son Elvis,yelled back at the man saying”Yeah that might be true but my father is trying his best to provide for you’s, but nah you think  hes just sitting on his butt and not doing anything about it “ before he could say anything else Alex stepped in. He whispered to Elvis go back to your sister and your mother, Elvis walked back to his family. The people went silent for a second, then Alex said ”I know you all must think we are all doomed but I just wanted to let you know that I will try my best and figure out how to stop this mess”. The meeting was stopped and the people all went home.

Boom! Sounded in the middle of night . Everybody in town woke up then people came outside to see what happened .The local people walked to the tree because they thought it was the tree and it was. The townspeople stared at a circular object that appeared in front of the tree. The mayor Alex appeared and said “everyone just keep calm everything is going to be ok I have called NASA, they are on their way to whatever this thing is they said that we need to go home and leave it to them so that means stay inside at all cost”. The people left and went to their homes. Nasa arrives in the morning and leaves two days later.

Alex gathered the people at the glowing tree and announced what Nasa had discovered.`”I have found out that we will be alright and that the object is a… seed,people started shouting yay we're not going to die. “ When the people stopped yelling he also said that there will also be more seed falling off the tree.

1 year later after the announcement.Alex died 2 weeks after the announcement because a seed crashed on top of him when he was driving to Elivies graduation. When they were able to grab the body they buried him under the glowing tree.After they had his funeral, they voted that Elvis should be the new mayor of town.

A seed started to sprout, the seed started sinking into the ground.People thought something was wrong with the seed, but it was actually digging itself into the ground. One day the Glowing tree started to turn black and blacker the people told Elvis was happening,Elvis gathered the local people at the tree to tell them about what was happening to the tree.Elvis said”I have told Nasa about the tree, they said that the tree is going slit into two and fall on the westside,eastside of town”.Some of the people started to panicking.

Elvis told the townspeople “there is another way but it’s going to cost some business in return to stop the tree falling into two,were going to need to blow the tree ends off it and turn it into something,Elvis took their suggestions about what they should turn it into”.A man yelled out they should turn it into a statue of Alex.The people turned silent for a while, so did Elvis.A woman also suggests the same thing, then the town started to join in.

When Elvis made the decision to turn it into the statue of his father,he gathered people who knew how to carve and sketch a drawing of his father Alex.9 months later after they had finished the statue. The people celebrated after their accomplishment and the people lived the rest of their lives happy.

Death Is Upon You

  Death Is Upon You 

Death is a significant thing apart of our daily lives in my eyes I see death no matter what the cause is there is always a blink of light but it can always be death instead I see death no matter where I am or what, who it is no matter what falls sunlight always shining bright even in the deepest night when I see it I think of it as the moon no matter what I do it will always land on top its always seeking for fear for its hunger don’t let your fear take over or else it will feed on you no fear, only courage think quickly because it will kill you death will always be there stroking you quietly as the day goes by every day, every night don’t be fooled because it’s coming for YOU! Don’t let it fool you because it will heart you or even worse kill you I’m tired I’m dead  ”so be quiet because incoming for you” hide, be quiet because death might be upon you come on light sine bright don’t let me get swallowed into the deep dark night.

If your reading this I’m coming to kill YoU! From: DEATH

Against Homework

This week we were working on persuasive writing reasons why I've had to do this is that I had to choose which side to go on I choose to go against because most people like me despise homework.

 Against Homework 

Not all agree that homework after six hours at school (it feels like seven), is such a good idea after all. If you’re on the fence regarding this fact, read a full list of reasons that support the idea that kids should rest at home, have some free time, instead of working long hours of struggling with the homework academic tasks.

It is stressful. Extra loads of work that students are assigned to do at home hurt the younger generation that has to spend hours dealing with math problems instead of resting. This extra stress level can harm their health, lead to a lack of enthusiasm for education, raise a huge debate among teachers and parents over the usefulness of such an approach.

It deprives them of a social life. Having to work a lot (even at nights!) at home means that a student has fewer opportunities to socialise which can lead to poor communication skills in the future and children becoming reserved.

Children lose interest. Lots of homework puts too much pressure on young minds; this pressure only makes them lose interest and become less effective in their work. They need time to switch focus, explore the world, engage in other activities or else they’ll be ineffective at school, college or university.

Homework takes long hours, not minutes which after a day at school feels like a heavy day. Students are already tired, sleepy and enormous homework tasks will only cause a headache to the young minds. Homework is less effective because most ask their parents or tutors to do it instead. In the classroom explained by a teacher, tasks make way more sense than at home where they are often done just to be done and forgotten right after submission. A student may stay receiving higher grades for assignments done at school with a teacher.

As you can see there are two sides to this problem. While others believe more homework can’t harm one’s health, I strongly believe that it can!
