Racism

     Racism was a big thing in america back in the 1930's. Black people were classed as second class citizens and couldn't walk on the pavement if a white person was. The white people treated them very unfairly what's even worse is the fact that black people had separate areas such as shops and parks etc'.
     The only jobs that they could get was to work in the house of white people doing what ever they were asked upon. but they were not allowed to live in there house, they would have to live in a barn or an out building. But this came with concequences like catching deisise, if they spoke to a white women or even looked at one they would get into serious trouble and either get beater or killed.

Battery Hens Vs Free Range Hens

The difference between a battery hen and a free range hen is that battery hens are the most cheapest and effective way of producing chicken. Most of the chicken we eat today in Britain are from battery farms. In these farms the chickens live in fours in cages with only metal bars to stand on and are walking around in there own waste with a warm fan to discard the smell. and they are kept there until they die.

Where as on free range farms the chickens get the freedom of running around fields and live a happy life before they are used as meat. But this option is slightly more expensive and there for puts us off them. Free range is starting to become more popular as of tele-vision programmes are starting to show people what is happening behind the scenes and what exactly we are eating. This is because Battery hens are a lot more hidden away and more confined and easier to produce therefore making it more readily available Britain has brought this on their selves having mostly battery chicken as we are looking for cheaper and cheaper food sources all the time.

100 Word Ghost Stort

Jackson stumbled into the bathroom and flicked on the light. He jumped with a start. Samantha, his dead wife, was staring at him in the mirror.

“What are you doing here?” he asked.

“I’ve decided to haunt you.”

“Whatever you say.” Jackson went back to bed.

Samantha started following Jackson wherever he went. People often caught him talking to himself, and decided he was crazy.

It was not long before Jackson’s boss fired him. “You’re behavior lately has been unacceptable.”

“But my dead wife is haunting me.”

“Why didn’t you say so? You get used to it after a while.”

I like this story as it is quite funny, and makes you think if he got fired or not.

Saturday 27th October 2012,
                                Suddenly I awoke.  My mum had come to wake me up to go to my Nans.  I got up.  ‘’Breakfast is waiting on the banister’’ she called.  ‘Mmm’ Crumpets My favourite, I thought to myself. Quickly I got dressed, brushed my teeth and got in the car.  As we pulled out of the drive I noticed some people had put pumpkins in their windows, there was one house that had animal cut-outs on them, wolves, dragons, lizards and even a cow.

Twenty minutes later we arrived; there were some pumpkins in the houses on her street as well. I went inside, said hello, stroked Roxie, her dog, and plonked myself on the chair and played on my laptop for several hours.  ‘’Dinner...’’ She called, ‘’...I made your favourite, pasta bolognaise’’, It wasn’t my favourite.

                My cousin Andrew stumbled in, I wondered what he was in such a rush for.  He walked into the living room where I was, and shouted ‘’Guess what I just got us tickets & Back stage passes for’’,                           ‘’what!’’ I said excitedly, as my Nan and Roxie came in to see what all the fuss was about.                              ‘’Well you know that guy I told you about’’ he said, as my Nan lost interest and hobbled off to the kitchen.  ‘’You mean Thomas Lowe’’ I said as Roxie also lost interest and walked off to the kitchen. ‘’Yeah, well he’s got a premier in London tonight with his new time-lapse movie ‘Timescapes’ I can’t wait, can you?’’                      ‘’No, what time does it start’’                                                                                                                                             ‘’8pm it says on here, and I hired us a black limo to take us’’                                                                               ‘’Cool, that must of cost you a fortune’’                                                                                                                               ‘’well it would of, but I just won £500 on a scratch card and I’ve got 100 left, 50 for you and 50 for me’’ ‘’Thanks, that’s amazing’’

                The limo arrived.  Slowly I walked down the drive and said ‘’goodbye’’ to my Nan and climbed into the long black Shiny limo. Andrew was waiting for me inside. He handed me the tickets and the pass. Several hours had passed until we arrived at the premier. We put our passes on, as a short chubby man with thin grey hair, almost bald, and a little posh glasses opened the door. We stepped out onto the red velvet carpet and were bombarded with cameras; it was like we were in a night club with strobes everywhere. I took a deep breath and walked through the steel doors of the tall black building.  As we took our seats on the front row a lady walked past selling refreshments, I ordered two Pepsis two hot dogs and a large box of popcorn for us to share.  The lights dimmed. The bass rumbled. And The Picture Played.  Soft cheerful music played, as a tree in the middle of the desert was shot spinning around and around as the stars in the night sky twinkled, and comets soared across the sky creating a magnificent sight to see. The music changed this time camera focused on a large waterfall with rainbow upon rainbow halved submerged. It was the Best day of my life I would never forget it.

Not a real story but based on a real film.
Correct film now was wrong one.

Everest, 1996

In 1996, Jon Krakauer climbed Everest for a magazine to find out how commercial expeditions were changing the mountain. On the day he reached the summit, he and other people from different magazines were caught in a storm and eight of them died.



This story is similar to Joe & Simons as they also got caught in a storm, although they did not die.
