Pictures with messages

   Photo 1: This photo represents that sometime you can be the odd one out but no matter what you are unique in your own way. You are special in your own kind of way which means if people make fun of you that means they are jealous of you.




Photo 2: If you don't believe then it's like a huge wave is just falling over you then you will drown in your sorrow. But if you believe then the water will just be kept a part all the way.



 Photo 3: Remember you don't have to try things you don't want to do. But when you do things like this then you could probably do it again with your friends.

Picture Mataphors

Photo 1: This either shows that a book can give you the full picture of the object or this shows you that a book is more detailed. A film can''t show you the full picture because cameras that you film with can't go underwater unless they are made for that.


















Photo 2: This photo represents that someone is doing something that they have never tried before. So they could be doing something scary but they could be being brave for other people.







            Photo 3: This represents how complicated things can be for you. If you carry on doing something you are not supposed to do then your mind will end up like this. Full with mazes and a mess so you can't think straight about what you want.





Photo 4: This photo means that sometimes you can be the odd one out which means that you could probably be left out. But being the odd one out could mean that you are special in your own kind of way.

My Favourite Game

My favourite game is Black Ops 2 on Xbox.
The things you can do with this game are play alone or play online with your friends. You can party up with your friends so that means you don't have to play against them. There are a lot of game modes I will name one of them and explain it the game mode I am choosing to do is Team Death Match. 

 Team Death Match also remembered as TDM for short, the point of this game is well it explains in the name it's Team Death Match you are split into two different teams and you battle for roughly about 30 mins I think. At the end of the game the team with the most kills win.

The main features are levelling up, unlocking weapons and unlocking camos. You can even get gold camo for your guns.

1. Your and you're, these two words are both different but they get pronounced the same e.g ( Your book is on the table) (You're a good friend!) You're (you are).

3. Your friend is at the door.          Your bedroom is messy.          Your book is not here

12 Years a Slave

12 Years a Slave



12 Years a Slave looks like a great movie in the trailer. This film is a very emotional and moving video. This story is from a book and is based on a true story back in the 1800’s more about this story is, his name in Sullivan and he is a musician that plays violin, he has a family that loves him and cares about them and he does the same to them, after the show he gets kidnapped to become a slave for the white people. The white people back then were the people that were super rich and that had others work for them, the black people get treated really badly by them back then. They slapped them, whipped them, punched them and beton them. This is the third feature film directed by Steve McQueen. The video was written by John Ridley. Chiwetel Ejiofor stars as Solomon Northup. Michael Fassbender, Benedict Cumberbatch, Paul Dano, Paul Giamatti, Lupita Nyong'o, Sarah Paulson, Brad Pitt and Alfre Woodard are all featured in supporting roles. I suggest you should go see this movie and just think about it after the movie and say to yourself if you see this happening what could you do to change it. Click here
