# reasons that i came up with to, to consider why boys generally find books in the fantasy and science fiction genres more appealling than others are because i believe that boys have more interests in adventure and there brains always wonder of and what to believe things that aren't true but can relate to in a way. Boys have more active minds and want to fulfill them with things that interest them like space ships, rockets or the fantasy and science fiction genres in novels. Boys like fantasy and science fiction more than genres such as romance, love and genres like that due to not finding them appealing and enjoyable and dont relate to them at a young age. I think that females may mature earlier than males.
Personally i dont enjoy science fiction and fantasy novels because they simply dont appeal to me and i struggle to read novels because i dont enjoy them and when i do read a novel i want it to be enjoyable such as a sports genre or something with fighting in it or teenagers life or something.
Ummm some of my mates enjoy these genres i dont know why but they do.
My Favourite genre is sport or something with fighting in it or teenager novel because i enjoy these types of movies and if they come out in a novel form i would be more than happy to read it. i can relate to these novels more than others and because i can relate to them i enjoy reading them and overall just enjoy reading.

I think that poetry has remained popular over centuries and many generations because it is an excellent and effective way to communicate with people. Poetry has also remained popular over the centuries because it can also be used for entertainment as wailliam shakespeare has done in his theatre productions.
One of the most popular forms of poetry today has gotta be rhyme or rythm because we see it in our everyday lives on the television or on banners and billboards.
Poetry doesnt really play a big role in our lives today because we can communicate without it and its not like we need poetry to communicate. However poetry can be used in our everyday lives sometimes to try and help to communicate or get our point with others in a different way. Or you can write some poetry to express your feelings with others but not by having to speak to them about it.
One bit that appeals to me most in poetry is the message that is under the words if you know what i mean like you can read a peice of poetry and at first it doesn't make sense but if you read it again nd break it down there could be a really nice message inside of it.
I enjoy both reading and writing rhyme and rythm poetry because it is the two that i feel comfortable with. I like it how in rhyme you can just flow through it easily and find new words and meanings for things and words that you may have never known could have rhymed together.
haha um the only 2 poems i know of the top of my head due to television is the paint supplies advertisement and the adelaide furniture and electrical one because it has both rhyme and rythm in it and gets stuck in ur head easily.

The quotation means that we don't write poetry for nothing we write it for a meaning and that poetry can express many things such as love and romance without it being written in a boring peice of prose writing. I think this because it is what the quoate is trying to say and what i personally think potry is.
I would have to agree with this statement poetry is god to read sometimes but not most of it because it only expresses feeling and passion mainly and is used to get points accross in a different way. However poetry can also be used for advertisements on the television or newspaper to try sell a product or promote a business such as the lube mobile advertisement. There are also many different types of poetry for different emotions that you want to get accross like rhyme and rythm can be put together to make a catchy television advertisment that gets stuck in your head.
My 2 examples of poetry are:
my first example of poetry is the carlton draught ad song "it's a big ad" because it uses many different types of poetry that is effective such as a bit of rhyme which makes the poetry so affective. this would have to be written as poetry and not prose because it would be boring and dull without it being a poem and wouldnt be as affective.
my second example is the lube mobile which i personally think is the best one due to me having it stuck in my head all the time. the lube mobile song is good because it uses a lot of repetition and rythm which makes it catchy and at the end you remember the little kid saying 13 30 32 which is there phone number. so if you ever got stuck some where and needed a mechanic you could remember the catchy bit at the end 13 30 32 :) this is one that would have to definately be poetry to work because it sets the emotion and it uses repetition to get the phone number stuck in your head without this being a peice of poetry you would probably hear the number but it wouldnt stick.

I dont believe that recreational drugs are really that bad. Recreational drugs such as alcohol and tobacco i dont think do much to the players if its a one of occasion and if they choose to do it. However if they continually keep taking them i think that there could be a problem there as these drugs ruin livers and lungs and make the sportman become unfit and healthy. I dont believe that players should be tested for taking recreational drugs because it is there own fault for taking them and they should be aware of the consiquences such as being bannned from playing there sport for a couple of weeks or untill they stop. If the sportsperson is taking sports enhancing drugs i think that it is a very big problem and that the person should be banned from playing the sport. Because it is not fair to all the other players if one person takes performance enhancing drugs and always wins due to it.

Book Vs Movie
Mmmmm. This is a hard one personally i think that movies are better than books and are more effective because with movies you can relax listen take notes whereas with books you have to read and look at words which i dont enjoy doing very much. Movies are better because they get straight to the point quickly without the uneeded extra detail. You also get through movies much quicker than through a book well atleast i think so. This is true for me because i am a slow reader and get bored easily thats why i prefer movies.
However books may be better for research and information as they go into much more detail which could be very useful in many instanses. I find books extremely helpful in research assignment where the detail is needed and i think that anything in written form is better for school purposes than movie.

The 40 Hour Famine
hey guys
i have been looking into doing the 40 hour famine lately and i think that it is all thumbs up. The 40 hour famine is your chance to give something back to kids in need in laos and east timor. You can go without many different things to try raise some money for these kids you could go without food(most common one), furniture, technology or pretty much anything else thaat comes to mind. for every $40 u raise helps feeds and cares for eight kids for one month. i believe that the fourty hour famine is for a great cause and that everyone should take part with it and help out. it officially runs from 8pm on friday 17 to noon on sunday 19 august. the fourty hour famine is set up by world vision which sets up many fundraisers to help out people in need below the poverty line. You can sign up over the world vision website but for many of u, u can sign up through our school.

Holes, by Louise Sachar
Holes, by louise sachar is a book that i beleive should be published because it is one of those books that once you start reading it you cant get your nose out of. This medium sized novel is about a boy named Stanley Yelnats (Stanley spelt backwards) who has bad luck thanks to a curse placed on his great- great-grandfather is sent to a juvenile detention camp for a crime he did not do. Stanley and the other boys at the camp are forced to dig large holes in the dirt every day. Stanley eventually realizes that they are digging these holes because the warden is searching for something. As Stanley continues to dig holes and meet the other boys at the camp. Throughout the novel you find out hints that help you find out what the warden is searching for.
I would say that this novel would be suitable for young adults/teenagers around the age of 10-20. because the language in it is not to difficult to read and it is a medium sized book. This novel will make young readers want to read the sequal to this noval. Which is also a great enjoyable medium sized novel.
This novel is one of the best and most exciting novels that i have ever read. Once i picked it up and read the first page i was stuck in it untill i finished it and that is what a great book should do it should make the reader want to read more and more of it. Sachar has written many other books but one of his most popular is 'There's a Boy in the Girl's Bathroom'. Im 100% sure that if this book is published it will win many awards such as the national book award, and the newbery medal award, these are just some that this book might win. Sachars books including holes almost always include children that don't fit in or who have low self-esteem. the main character (stanley yelnats) in holes gains self-confidence by the end of the book and makes some friends in the process. I would publish this book right away if i was a publisher i give it 10 out of 10.
Cheers =]
