The Blob that Ate Everyone

“He thinks when he opens his locker door; a monster will jump out at him.” It reminds me that after I watch scary movie I always feel the same thing will happen to me in real life. Once, I watch a ghost movie, there is a boy who is sleeping on the bed but, when he opens his blanket there is a child crawl from his blanket. It is so scary and makes me feel that child might appear in my blanket too. I had sleeping problem on that night I could not fall asleep easily and it takes me a week to forget the scary part of movie.

When I read the book, the reading strategy which I used is to image the situation which Zakie had. Zakie is writing a story and he likes to ask other people how it was. I can easy to understand Zakie’s feeling is because I like to ask other’s opinion before I decide to do something else.

So far, in the story Zakie is writing a story and having fun with his friend at school.

The Blob that Ate Everyone

“Go ahead. Take it,” she repeated. “It’s yours. For free.” I can easy to image this sentence because once, I went to a supermarket with my friends. There are many little food shops on the side. We decide to stop and find some food to eat. At that time, we cannot decide the food because the food is new to us. We do not know how it tastes like. We stop in front of a cookie shop and we are wondering does it taste good. Suddenly, the owner of the shop picks a big piece of cookie and give to us. We are shock and they just say take it is for free! It made us feel so nice about her personality and it also make me easy to understand how Zakie feels when he gets an old typewriter for free.

When I read the story the strategies which I use is to image the picture in my mind. When Zakie gets a typewriter and I try to image the looking of it. So far, in the story Zakie gets a old typewriter from the store owner. But, he feels so weird that on the way home it just becomes heavier and heavier.

The Blob that Ate Everyone

Please leave, I begged silently. Please don’t catch us here. When I see this sentence it reminds me that in a movie which is called “Jurassic Park” there are so many carnivores dinosaurs and they tried to eat all the people. I remember there are two children who hided in a kitchen and they wish the dinosaurs to leave, but they open the door and get into the kitchen. I feel so nervous when I see this scene. It helps me to think an image easily which make people scared and nervous.

In the story, so far Alex and Zackie went to a store and there came a woman with a flesh light and she wanted to know who was in the store. Alex and Zakie kept in silence because they were afraid they will be caught.

The Enchanted Garden

The book I am reading is called “the Enchanted Garden” which was written by Italo Calvino. The story was happened in a garden, there are two children who found a beautiful garden. They love the environment there, The water there so clear made them want to swim so much, the cake look so delicious but they could not enjoy everything there. They were afraid the owner of the garden might come out and chase them away in any moment. They finally saw the owner of the garden but he looked not happy because of the sickness.

When I read this story I tried to image the garden which is so big and there is also clear water to swim. I never see this kind of garden so it is a bit difficult to image for me.

All the Year of Her Life

"All The Year Of Her Life" which is written by Morley Callaghan. This is about a boy who is named Alfred. He stole some products from a store. He was caught and the owner called his mother to come and talk about the problem. He did not get arrest because his mother was so clam to talk about the problem. Alfred was so proud that he had such strong mother to protect him. But, he went to kitchen and saw his mother’s face with stress face. Her hands were shacking and she looked not as strong as he thought.

In the classroom, we discussed the problem which Alfred had and what will happen if the person who talk to the store is his father. We predicted that it will be a totally different story. Mr. Higgins who is Alfred’s father will be very mad and punish him when he saw Alfred. He would not stay clam as his mother.

When I read the story I try to image the picture in my mind. I was thinking that Mr. Higgins is a huge and strong person. He will hit Alfred so hard and teach him a lesson which will help him not make steal the things from store any more.

The Blob that Ate Everyone

In the story, Alex, Adam. and Zakie went to a store and everywhere are soaked. When I read it the image of the socked room appeared in my mind. I remember in my house when it was raining the water always got into the house. Everything on the floor is soaked. I hate when is raining, I always have to bring my bag and books on to the high place so they would not get wet. I have to dry the things which are soaked by water. Sometimes, it took me a half day to clean up just my room.

In the story so far, these three children went to a stored. Zakie did not want to go in because he feel there was something weird there. But, it was too late; he was already in the store which is soaked by water.
