- Andrew's point of view is used to tell the story. The aspects that give clues about the narrator are: the story is funny and it is gruesome
- the fact that he is willing to turn himself in after seeing his dad so mad
- he comments on Andrews manners and wont give up until the fly is dead
- I did not understand this question
- Andrew
- he smiles with his mouth and not his eyes and mouth
- he makes a loud slurping noise with his soup and bread rolls, he makes the slurping noises longer and louder, he dips the soggy bread in his mouth from above his head, he does it again and it lands in his eye, he eats the chicken with his fingers, he grabs a roast potato and breaks it In half, he dips his fingers in the butter and spreads it onto the potato halves, he snaps his chicken bone in half and sucks out the middle, he uses the chicken bone as a straw for the custard.
- what makes his dad crack is the fly swat he has actually brought from the store that he put pieces of liquorish on to look like flys and when he eats it his dad goes nuts and cracks

The snake
Subject matter: The snake by Sharon
Purpose/message: I think the poet is trying to get across that a snake is a dangerous animal that should not be toyed with. e.g. "Its sinuous movements like hungry eels". The purpose was achieved by Sharon using strong language.
Emotion/mood: The poet has made the poem give the reader a awareness for snakes. e.g. "Its beady eyes are never shut" This is achieved by Sharon using strong techniques such as metaphors.
Techniques: Sharon has used good techniques that are of ten found in lots of poems such as:
- Metaphors e.g. "Its tongue sticking out like an arrow ready to strike"
- Personification e.g. "Just staring like a new born sheep"
- Non rhyming
Summary: This poem scared me a bit as I imagined myself near a snake. The poet has achieved her purpose and The impact the poem had on me was that I was scared and I was Cautious.
Twilight
The book I am currently reading is twilight by Stephenie Meyer. The book is about a girl who moves to the small town Forks to live with her dad. When she walks into the biology lab at her school, there is a boy who will not stop staring at her. She finds out that he is a vampire but she does not care and they fall desperately in love. However this is the trick to the story, because he is a vampire he can't touch her as he wants to drink her blood. This book uses great language as I am constantly asking my mum what words mean. My favourite character in the book is probably Edward Cullen. Edward Cullen is the vampire in the story and he is described as being beautiful. This interests me as In previous books I have read all the men have being described as handsome not beautiful. This book is part of a series of books the second book in the series is new moon then Eclipse then Breaking dawn.

My Sister is like a mailbox!
My sister is like a mailbox sometimes you get junk even when you have a 'no junk mail' sign
My sister is like a mailbox she always looks the same
My sister is like a mailbox new things come every day
My sister is like a mailbox every thing is kept bottled up inside and sometimes it overflows
My sister is like a mailbox she has to have every thing hand delivered to her she never has to move a muscle
My sister is like a mailbox when it rains she can get a bit rusty
My sister is like a mailbox but I still love her
