Flash Fiction
Running on the uneven ground, trembling, stumbling, and
falling. Strange creatures and sounds from all around, scratching and
screaming. Shadows eating their way into your imagination and destroying all
rays of hope… adrenaline pumping through you: dodging, moving objects around
you. Feeling there is a purpose but not knowing it, desperately trying to find
it. The only thing that drives you is not knowing or not knowing what will
happen next. And once found you awake from the fantasy that is sleep…

'The Lord of the Flies'
I started 'Lord of the Flies' yesterday and it seems like a great book. I think the language is really clever, for example the character 'piggy' has been created to use very east London kind of language. This character is unfortunately bullied by the other boys and you can tell he is the character who represents the victim. However he has struck up a sort of friendship with another main character, Ralph.
This friendship is then used to find other boys, as Piggy's knowledge of the conch shell and Ralph's incredible horn blowing power they manage to gather the others.

This book has already gripped me and I have only read the first chapter, I will be looking forward to reading more of it in the future.

An Early Writer
Reading is something I have enjoyed for years. I used to enjoy reading fact books like many boys. They gave me numerous facts about ridiculous things, for example I know how fast insects move on different terrain!
It was later that I came to enjoy fiction. I was part of a book club at primary school and we met authors and read books as a group. Reading and then talking about the stories really made the books come alive.
Many of the books I have really loved have been turned into films. I have just seen the hunger games and that is one of my favourite books. It's always a bit weird seeing characters you have made up in your own head come to life in the form of an actual person. Brilliant film though, and is really closely related to the book.
During and after all this reading excitment, I started to discover a love for writing. I used and practised different writing techniques both at school and at home. I then grew more confident and started to join various competitions and clubs to both inmprove and compete my writng skills. Hopefully this skill will continue to develop in the future, and possibly lead to more opportunities.
