Second short story

I don’t know how long I have been out maybe a couple of hours a day, I look around while lying on the ground.

“They’re all dead all of them.” I question

A man only five meters away from me is still breathing   

“Hello.” I ask “Hello.” “Are you all right?”

He turns over and his wounds become obvious, a steel rod has gone straight through him his face burned beyond recognition

“What happened?” I ask

“I don’t know.” The solider said

He breathed his last

I am stuck out here no idea what happened or where I am. I can hear another person not a solider but a child he spoke in Arabic and ran away. It wasn’t worth him coming back I try to get up but realize my wounds I cant feel my legs at all I slap them I don’t feel it. This is the beginning to a long journey. i can hear a noise cars a whole convoy they rise above the horison the army inside the cars one person looks familiar the boy.

Second Short story

WHAT'S IN A TITLE?

1. Yes, I think it was an appropriate choice for the story it really has that mysterious battle march tone to it.


2. Bail Out and Combat these two titles are also a good choice that the author could have used because I think that the also capture the flavor of the book.


3. Shot Down and grounded. Shot down could be about a rouge pilot who needs to prove he is worthy to fly after he accidently shoots down his own team mate. and Grounded could be about the plane he is in gets shot down and he is forced to fight the enemy on foot until he finds an enemy airbase and steals a plane and blows up the airbase

LEARNING ABOUT AUTHORS

1. Yes some of them have designed their sites so that they are appealing and you want to stay on them but others are bland which make me want to avoid them


2. My favorite about the authors you choose was Steph Bowe she really inspired me because she wrote a book at 14


3. LM Fuge was a writer appealing to a teenage audience and i think she does this well Michael Gerard Bauer writes mostly for an older audience


4. http://www.markhaddon.com/   That is the link to the previous author of the book I read which was The curious incident of the dog in the night time I really loved his website it was so childish but had a very serious underlying tone to it.

Electronic Literature

1. There is a factor in me that says this is the way forward in terms of reading to younger generations and I think that children like The whole interactive literature that really caught my eye but not for me because I love the thrill of a book and so do many other people

2. Definitely the interactive part where you actually play with the phone that would definitely appeal to the younger audience

3. Some disadvantages could be that children are not reading an actual book but are responding to a picture and sound but in this case the advantages outweigh the disadvantages.

4. Well I can see a point in that this is still reading is it not? Kids are still reading just in a more interesting way with the animations in the inanimate Alice it left room for kids to imagine what could happen next.

5. When we go on Google or any website we are reading but I think that one way that was really affective for kids to read is an E-library that kids read then choose a book and read no need for library check out.

6. Well not so much as compare but it would change the way I read I think for kids this is much more exiting and interactive, which kids like.

Think About Your Reading Experiences

1. Yes I mostly read I my room on my big office chair its a good place for me because I am all alone and the gentle breeze that flows into my room keeps me cool while I read before i read I get a bottle of water and sit and read. When I read I don't stop until I either finish a book or am close to finishing.

2. Mostly night time when I am ready for bed.

3. The authors that are my favorite are Chris Ryan, Anthony Horowitz, Emily Rodda, Mark Haddon and Les Carlyon.
-Their Descriptive language when describing locations
-Well, most of them are war fiction writers I like this because any writer who decides to write war fiction for it to be good they need to describe the emotion and feelings of the soldiers.
-I have enjoyed all of their titles that I have read.

The 'Blurb' on the back cover

1. No not really didn’t choose my book purely on the blurb. The front cover of the book made me think that the book might be about a war and my favorite genre of book is war fiction. I did take the blurb in to account but when I choose a book I also look in prologue of the book as well because usually that gives you an incite into the setting and plot of the book.


2. Apart from the prologue when I look at the blurb it grabs my attention when the author drops you somewhere inside the plot and an action scene is taking place then it all looks hopeless. That grabs my attention.


3. My first impression of this book I had high expectations of it and honestly it was good but not great maybe I’m being a bit harsh but I expected more. Overall the blurb did give a good description about the book.

4. Some of the visual aspects of the back cover include, that the back cover is a metal armor and that the picture that is on the front is on the back as well.

5. I am not sure how exactly we got in this situation going faster than ever it a big metal being I pull one of the levers the plane jerked upward we were air born. ten minutes later there are bullets whizzing everywhere planes being shot down right in front of me I am so scared.
