`~HITESH~`

SENOR DANCE AND DRAMA NIGHT WAS VERY INTRESTING AS IT GAVE US AN INSGHIT TO THE HARDWORK PUT IN BY THE PRFORMERS. ONLY SOME OF THE PERFORMANCES WERE ENTERTAINING AS THE SOLO ONES WERE VERY BORING. THE ONES I ESPECALLY LIKED WAS THE THE LOVE BALL AND THE CHANNEL ABC ONE BECAUSE IT HAD CONTENT RELATING TO CURRENT WORLD. ALL THE OTHER SHOWS WERE ALRIGHT AS I HAVE NO INTREST IN DANCE BUT THEY MUST HAVE CLEARLY TAKEN ALOT OF EFFORT AS THEY WERE GOOD BUT I DIDI NOT FIND THEM INTERESTING.

ON 21ST JULY 1969 THE WORLD HAD STOPPED TO SEE MAN ACHIEVE WHAT HE HAD BEEN DREAMING FOR YEARS. NO OTHER EVENT NOT EVEN 9/11 HAS ATTRACTED SO MANY EYES TO VIEW AND SHARE SUCH A GREAT HISTORIC EVENT TAKING PLACE. PEOPLE GATHERING TO NEAREST TV SETS TO SEE THE FIRST MAN TO SET HIS FOOT ON THE SURFACE OF THE MOON. THIS EVENT IS STILL AN INTERESTING TOPIC TO TALK AND TEACH ABOUT EVEN AFTER 40-41 YEARS. 

THIS ACHIEVEMENT WAS THE BIRTH OF THE PASSION FOR MAN TO CROSS HIS SET BOUNDARIES (OF UNIVERSE). TO EXPERIENCE, GAIN KNOWLEDGE AND CONQUER. AS WE ALL KNOW THE NEXT BIG THING IS FIRST MAN ON MARS. BUT EVEN AFTER THIS MOON LANDING WILL NOT LOSE IT’S VALUE AS IT SPARKED THIS WORLDWIDE PHENOMENON FOR PEOPLE OF ALL CULTURES AND RACES TO GO AND KNOW MORE ABOUT WHAT IT IS LIKE BEING OUT SIDE OUR PLANET. INSTEAD PEOPLE WILL REMEMBER AND THINK MORE OFTEN OF THE MOON LANDING.

WHEN I FIRST READ ABOUT MOON LANDING IN YEAR 3. I FELT SO AMAZED TO SEE THE VIDEO OF ARMSTRONG SETTING FOOT ON THE MOON. IN YOUNGER YEARS I HAD HEARD NURSERY RHYTHMS AND FAIRY TALES ABOUT MOON AND MY IMAGINATION ABOUT THE MOON WAS VERY DIFFERENT TO THE REALITY. AFTER I SAW LANDING I THOUGHT THAT I WILL GROW TO BE AN ASTRONAUT. WELL OPINIONS CHANGE BUT STILL. I FEEL GREAT TO BE PART OF A HUMAN RACE ACHIEVING THINGS SET BEYOND THEIR ABILITIES.

ON 19th JULY 06. A CARNIVAL WAS HELD BY CARLINGFORD HIGH SCHOOL. A CARNIVAL BRINGING ALL COMMUNITIES TOGETHER TO SHARE THE EXPERIENCE OF EVERY COUNTRY AND CULTURE. IT STARTED AT 11:00. THE CARNIVAL HAD MANY NEATLY ORGANISED STALLS SELLING THEIR TRADITIONAL FOOD AND DESERTS. THERE WAS A CONSTANT GROUP OF EVENTS PRESENTED BY EVERY COUNTRY LIKE FOLK DANCES AND MUSIC IN THE HALL. I PERSONALLY WENT AND SURVEYED THE FAIR. THE FAIR FELT IKE BEING ABLE TO ACROSS CONTINENTS AND COUNTRIES IN SECONDS. THE FAIR ALSO HAD A MINI SOCCER WORLD CUP AT THE END. BEING ABLE TO EAT LUNCH FROM AROUND THE WORLD IN ONE PLACE IS AN EXPERIENCE. THE BEST PART OF THE WHOLE FESTIVE WAS THAT YOU COULD TRY THINGS FROM DIFFERENT CULTURE GAIN INFORMATION OR JUST ADMIRE THEM. CARNIVALS LIKE THESE ALSO GIVE YOU A CHANCE TO TASTE FOOD YOU HAVE NEVER EATEN BEFORE SO YOUR FAVOURITE FOOD DOES NOT HAS TO BE FROM YOUR CULTURE. I COULD NOT HATE ANYTHING IN SUCH A FESTIVAL.      

ACTIVITIES AND CARNIVALS LIKE THESE ARE MEANS OF ERADICATING RACISM AND SHOWING THE SIMILARITIES AND DIFFERENCES BETWEEN ETHNIC GROUPS. SUCH ACTIVITIES SHOULD BE ENCOURAGED IN ALL AGE GROUPS.   

PS NOTE: I HAVE DESCRIBED THE CARNIVAL TO THE BEST OF MY ABILITY EVEN THOUGH I WAS NOT PRESENT AT THE CARNIVAL OR HEARD ABOUT IT BY MY FRIENDS.  

TITANIC IS LEGENDARY MOVIE IT HAS EVERYTHING A GOOD MOVIE SHOULD HAVE. GRAPHICS, ACTION, DRAMA, STORY AND THE MOST IMPORTANT FACTUAL TRUTH. THE WHOLE MOVIE IS BASED ON A TRAGEDY THAT TOOK PLACE NEARLY A 100 YEARS AGO. A PROOF OF MAN’S OVERCONFIDENCE IN HIS INVENTION. THE MOVIE BEGINS IN TODAY’S WORLD A MAN TRYING TO FIND THE HEART OF OCEAN LOST IN WRECKAGE OF THE SHIP. THEN HE MEETS A SURVIVOR FROM THE SHIP. THE REST OF THE STORY IS SET IN THE 1912′S. THE STORY GOES ON WITH INTERESTING CHARACTERS AND SCENES. THEN THE FINAL SHOCK OF THE SHIP GOING DOWN. 

THE MOVIE ITSELF HAS A HAPPY ENDING EVEN THOUGHT THEY SHOWED THE SINKING OF THE SHIP. 

 FIND OUT HOW !!

 I AM USUALLY GOOD WITH SPEECHS EXCEPT WHEN I HAVE THE PRESSURE OF COMPETING AGAINST THE BEST. LAST YEAR I WAS VERY RELAXED DURING MY CLASS SPEECH. I KNEW I WAS THE BEST AND I WAS. BUT WHEN I HAD TO THE YEARLY ROUND I BECAME NERVOUS AS I KNEW I WAS COMPETING AGAINST HE BEST. THIS NERVOUSNESS MAKES IT REALLY HARDER FOR ME TO SPEAK PROPERLY BUT I TRIED MY BEST. BUT THIS YEAR IT WAS  MORE TOUHGHER RIGHT FROM THE START I GAVE IT MY BEST SHOT. WHEN I WAS PREPARING I WAS TRYIING TO FIGTH THE BEST AND WIN. I SEARCHED FOR FRESH TOPICS FOR A DAY BUT DIN’T COME UP WITH ANYTHING. I WAS JUST CASSUALLY WATCHING A DOCUMENTRY IN WHICH THEY MENTIONED

ARE WE HAPPIER THAN OUR ANCESTORS.

SO I SAT AND MADE UP STUFF ON THE TOPIC I STARTED WITH BASIC WORDS WHEN I WAS SATISFIED WITH THE FORMATION OF THE BODY OF THE SPEECH. I TOOK A COUPLE OF WORDS OF MY SPEECH AND A DICTIONARY TO MAKE MY WORDS MORE SOPHISTICATED. THEN I LEARNT THE WHOLE SPEECH BY HEART. THIS TOOK ABOUT TWO DAYS. THEN I WAS PRACTICING STRESING ON EXPRESSION, BODY LANGUAGE AND PAUSES.

I WAS VERY CONFIDENT AND TO RETAIN MY CONFIDENCE I DECIDED TO GIVE MY SPEECH BEFORE SACH DOES. AND I DID I FELL THAT I DID MY SPEECH VERY WELL.

BUT AFTERT TWO OR MORE WEEKS I GOT THE MARKS I WAS SHOICKED 17/20 THAT WAS THE WORSE EVER. I FELT VERY DISAPPOINTED I LOST TWICE AGAINST THE SAME PERSON. IT WAS VERY ANNOYING. BUT THERE IS ALWAYS A SECOND RATHER A THIRD CHANCE.           

THE MOST DREADFUL NEWS WE AT THIS AGE HAVE HEARD IS THE SEPTEMBER 11 ATTACKS AND THE AFTER EFFECTS OF THE ATTACKS.
THE 9/11 ATTACKS HAVE SHOCKED EVERYBODY TO THE NERVES SEEING TERRORISM ON DISPLAY ON SUCH A LARGE SCALE HAD LEFT EVEN THE MOST POWERFUL PEOPLE WITH A SHOCK.
THE ATTACK TOOK PLACE ON SEPTEMBER 11.  WHEN FOUR PASSENGER PLANE WERE HIGH JACKED THE FIRST ATTACK TOOK PLACE AT 8:46 am. AN AMERICAN AIRLINE FLIGHT 11 WITH 24,000 GALLONS OF FUEL WAS FORCED TO CRASH INTO NORTH SIDE OF THE NORTH TOWER BLASTING ITSELF INTO THE AREA BETWEEN 93^RD AND 95^TH  FLOORS. AFTER 102 MINS OF THE CRASH, THE REST OF THE BUILDING COLLAPSED. THEN THE SECOND PLANE AMERICAN AIRLINE FLIGHT 175 CRASHED INTO THE SOUTH

TOWER AT 9:03. THIS CRASH TARGETED THE 77^TH – 88^TH FLOOR. AFTER 56 MIN OF THE ATTACK BOTH THE TWIN TOWERS WERE DOWN AND WERE NOW THE PART OF HISTORIES BIGGEST TERRORISM ATTACKS. THE SECOND ATTACK WAS SHOT BY MANY MEDIAS ORGANISATIONS AS THEY WERE THERE PRESENT TO COVER THE RESCUE WORK OF THE FIRST ATTACK. THESE ATTACKS DESTROYED LIVES AND EFFECTED PEOPLE THROUGHOUT THE WORLD. EVEN THOSE WHO DID NOT LOSE ANY LOVED ONES BECAME BANKRUPT AS THE ATTACK EFFECTED THE WORLD ECONOMY IN A VERY NEGATIVE DIRECTION. THE DEATHS CAUSED ONLY BY THE TWIN TOWERS WAS 2,986 PEOPLE INCLUDING RESCUE WORKERS WHO WERE THERE FOR THE NORTH SIDE ATTACK. DEATH AT SUCH LARGE SCALE IS SHOCK.
 SOME PEOPLE STILL WISH THEY JUST WAKE UP FROM THIS AS A NIGHTMARE AND SEE THERE LOVED ONES AGAIN.
AFTER THIS INHUMAN ATTACK. ON 2003 MARCH 20 THE COALITION FORCES ATTACKED IRAQ THIS OPERATION WAS NAMED “OPERATION IRAQI FREEDOM”. THE 98% OF INVADING FORCES OF PARTICIPATING COUNTRIES WERE USED IN THE ATTACK. THE REASON OF THE ATTACK WAS SAID TO BE USE OF NUCLEAR TECHNOLOGY WITHOUT THE APPROVAL  OF U.N. AS WE KNOW IRAQ’S STILL A GRAVE YARD WITH LIVING AND DEAD PEOPLE.
SUCH BARBARIC EVENTS, CAN BE EASILY AVOIDED. TODAY TERRORISM IS MORE RESPONSIBLE FOR LOSS OF HUMAN LIVES RATHER THAN MORTALITY BY ANY NATURAL CALAMITY. IN MEDIEVAL TIMES WAR WERE FOR INVASION AND EXPANSION OF POWER AND EMPIRE AND TO LOOT WEALTH. BUT TODAY WAR IS JUST FOR A PRIDE TO SHOW POWER OVER EACH OTHER. IN THIS PROCESS MANY INNOCENT PEOPLE ARE KILLED EVERYDAY FOR, e.g. PEOPLE DYING IN IRAQ EVERYDAY. IN MY OPINION INSTEAD OF SHOWING POWER IN WAR, THEY SHOULD SHOW POWER IN TECHNOLOGY AND HANDLING ISSUES LIKE GLOBAL WARMING. ATTACKS ON SEPTEMBER 11 WERE WRONG BUT THE ANSWER TO THOSE ATTACKS WAS THE IRAQ WAR WHICH WAS EQUALLY WRONG AND WASTEFUL OF SOULS AND MONEY. ANSWER TO INHUMAN ACTION SHOULD NOT BE ANOTHER INHUMAN ACTION. THE 9/11 ATTACK IS THE KIND OF NEWS THAT I CERTAINLY DON’T’ WISH TO HEAR AGAIN. NEVERTHELESS, I FEAR THAT THERE ARE CHANCES FOR WORSE TO COME. THE REASON I CHOSE THIS SENSATIONAL EVENT WAS BECAUSE PEOPLE ARE STILL DYING IN IRAQ EVERYDAY AS A RESULT OF AN INCIDENT (9/11) THAT OCCURRED HALF A DECADE AGO. I FEEL MOURNFUL EACH TIME I HEAR OF THIS NEVER-ENDING SAGA OF DEATH.

                                               EASTER IS LOST IN COMMERCIALISM

TODAY THE TRUE MEANING OF EASTER IS LOST IN A THICK FOG OF COMMERCIALS. IN FACT MUCH BEFORE EASTER THE SALE AND COMMERCIALISM OF EASTER STARTS “AS PRE EASTER SALE”. JUST ANOTHER REASON TO PUT THE WORLD ON SALE. NOT ONLY EASTER EVEN CHRISTMAS NOT SPARED. SUCH AUSPICIOUS EVENTS ARE LITERALLY BEING MISUSED BY USING THEM AS AN EVENT TO JUST INCREASE SALES. MOST OF THE ITEMS ON SALE ARE NOT EVEN RELATED TO CHRISTMAS OR EASTER THEY ARE JUST PUT ON SALE WITH THE EXCUSE OF EASTER. (LIKE HARDWARE AND CARS) 
IF YOU THINK THAT PEOPLE PROFIT BY SHOPPING AT CHEAP PRICE ON EASTER OR CHRISTMAS. THE FACT IS THAT PEOPLE SPEND MORE THAN THEY CAN AFFORD AT EASTER, CHRISTMAS AND THANKS GIVING. THEY ARE TEMPTED BY COMMERCIALS AND OFFER WHICH LOOK VERY ATTRACTIVE BUT MOST OF TIME ARE NOT GENUINE.
THE COMMERCIALS OF CHOCOLATES ARE DISPLAYED ON TV DURING TIMES WHEN THEY CAN TARGET THE CHILDREN WATCHING TV.
 
AN AVERAGE AUSTRALIAN FAMILY DOES IT’S EASTER SHOPPING (CHOCOLATE AND FOOD ITEMS) MOSTLY BASED ON WHAT THE CHILDREN LIKE. THEIR LIKES AND DISLIKES CAN INFLUENCE SALES OF A SET OF PRODUCTS. THIS GIVES THE LARGER GLOBAL COMPANIES LIKE CADBURY AND NESTLE AN IDEAL CHANCE TO FOOL THE CHILDREN MOSTLY FORCING THEIR PARENTS TO BUY THEIR PRODUCTS AND OBVIOUSLY, THERE IS NO NEED TO MENTION THAT THIS COULD BE ONE OF THE REASONS FOR A HIGH OBESITY RATE IN AUSTRALIA.
MOST OF OUR YOUNGER GENERATION IS NOT EVEN AWARE WHY EASTER IS CELEBRATED AND WHAT DOES IT SIGNIFY.
THE TRUE MEANING OF EASTER IS LOST IN THIS WORLD OF COMMERCIALISM NOT ALL PEOPLE KNOW WHAT EASTER IS NOR DO THEY HAVE THE TIME TO UNDERSTAND THE TRUE MEANING OF IT WHILE THEY ARE ENJOYING IT’S CELEBRATIONS (ENJOYING HOLIDAYS AND SHOPPING).    
               

                                     THE TURBULENT TERM OF TYKE TILER 

HERE IS A VERY INTERESTING STORY OF TURBULENT TERM OF TYKE TILER - BY GENE KEMP

TYKE WAS A STUDENT OF YEAR FOUR IN CRICKLIPIT SCHOOL, ONE THE OLDEST STATES SCHOOLS. MOST OF TYKES ADVENTURE’S WERE AROUND THE DANNY PRICE AS TYKE AND DANNY WERE BEST FRIENDS.

THE STORY GOES ON AS ONCE DANNY STOLE A TEN POUND NOTE FROM MRS BONFIRE’S (HIS TEACHER’S) PURSE AND GAVE IT TO TYKE HIS BEST FRIEND TO HIDE IT FOR HIM. NOW TYKE KNEW THAT AS SOON AS THE TEACHER WOULD REALISE THAT THE NOTE WAS MISSING A SEARCH TEAM WOULD COME TO EACH CLASS AND SEARCH EACH CHILD AND THEIR BELONGINGS THOROUGHLY. TYKE COULD TAKE ANY RISK FOR DANNY TO KEEP DANNY OUT OF TROUBLE. TYKE FOUND A CHANCE AND QUICKLY HID THE NOTE IN THE SCHOOL STORE ROOM. TYKE INTENDED TO SLIP THE NOTE BACK INTO THE TEACHER’S PURSE WHEN IT WAS SAFE TO DO SO. BUT INSTEAD A CLEANER FOUND THE NOTE AND CONVEYED TO THE CHIEF SIR THAT HE HAD SEEN TYKE GOING INTO THE STORE ROOM. WITH A LOT OF DIFFICULTY TYKE MANAGED TO EXPLAIN EVERYTHING AND DEFEND DANNY AS WELL.

DANNY HAD A PET FATTY, A MOUSE AND DANNY WAS EXTREMELY FOND OF IT, ONCE DANNY CARRIED FATTY TO THE SCHOOL AND THE MOUSE CREATED A HAVOC AS IT MANAGED TO RUN OUT OF DANNY’S BAG AND INTO THE ASSEMBLY HALL CAUSING A RUN ABOUT IN THE ASSEMBLY HALL. THAT WAS VERY HILARIOUS AS NO ONE KNEW THAT THE MOUSE BELONGED TO DANNY.

DANNY WAS A HONEST BOY WITH A VERY INNOCENT LOOK AND STRENGTH OF TEN BOYS. DANNY AND TYKE OFTEN WENT FOR A WALK BY THE RIVER SIDE WITH CRUMBLE (TYKE’S DOG).

ONCE DANNY SPOTTED A SKELETON IN THE RIVER. HE WANTED TYKE TO PULL IT OUT OF THE WATER FOR HIM SO THAT HE COULD SHOW THE SKELETON TO HIS TEACHER TO GET MERIT POINTS.

TYKE‘S MOTHER WOULD BE ANNOYED IF TYKE’S CLOTHES WERE SOILED WITH THE DIRTY RIVER SIDE MUD BUT DANNY’S HAPPINESS MEANT SO MUCH TO TYKE. THAT TYKE DIDN’T MIND BEING SHOUTED AT. THE NEXT DAY DANNY WAS OVERJOYED WHEN HE RECEIVED MERIT POINTS FROM HIS TEACHER FOR SHOWING THE SHEEP’S SKELETON TO THE CLASS.

THAT DAY TYKE SPOTTED AN OLD DESERTED MILL TO TURN IT INTO A FORT FOR TIMES OF WAR (ALL THIS WAS TYKE’S IMAGINATION OF WARTIMES). OFTEN DANNY AND TYKE SPENT A LOT OF TIME IN THE MILL AFTER SCHOOL HOURS, EVEN THOUGH DANNY FOUND THE PLACE UNCOMFORTABLE, SCARY AND GHOSTLY.

THE NEXT DAY TYKE RAN AN ERRAND TO THE CHIEF’S OFFICE. THERE WAS NO ONE IN THE ROOM AND TYKE SAW THE VERBAL REASONING TEST PAPERS ON THE TABLE. TYKE THOUGHT OF DANNY AND IMMEDIATELY SLIPPED A PAPER OUT AND HID IT. TYKE KNEW IT WAS WRONG BUT TYKE WANTED DANNY TO PRACTICE THE TEST BEFORE IT TAKES PLACE. SO THAT HE CAN PERFORM WELL IN THE TEST AND GO TO DAWSON COMBINED SCHOOL ALONG WITH HIM AND OTHER KIDS. DANNY HAD A SPEECH DISABILITY AND IF HE DID NOT PERFORM WELL IN THIS TEST HE WOULD BE SENT TO RUSSELL DEVE SCHOOL FOR DISABLE CHILDREN.

TYKE SPENT MANY EVENINGS WITH DANNY, EVEN BRIBED HIM WITH CHOCOLATE AND CANDY SO THAT HE PRACTISED THE TEST PAPERS OVER AND OVER AGAIN UNTIL HE WAS THOROUGH WITH IT. ON THE DAY OF THE TEST DANNY PERFORMED WELL AND WAS SENT TO DAWSON HIGH SCHOOL ALONG WITH HIS CLASSMATES. IN THIS PROCESS TYKE TOO PERFORMED VERY WELL AND WAS ASSIGNED TO AN UPPER GRADE SCHOOL EVEN BETTER THAN DAWSON BUT SOME HOW TYKE CONVINCED MUM, DAD AND CHIEF SIR THAT THEY SEND TYKE TO DAWSON HIGH ALONG WITH OTHER CLASSMATES ESPECIALLY WITH DANNY.

TYKE’S FATHER MR TILER WAS A MEMBER OF THE CITY COUNCIL AND THE NEXT ELECTIONS WERE RUNNING CLOSE. TYKE HELPED MR TILER BY DISTRIBUTING PAMPHLETS AND RUNNING MESSAGES TO AND FRO.

TYKE’S ELDER SISTER WAS IN UNI AND WAS MOSTLY ENGAGED IN BEAUTY CARE AND FIXING BOY FRIENDS BUT SHE DID WELL ACADEMICALLY. TYKES ELDER BROTHER WAS IN DAWSON COMPREHENSIVE SCHOOL HE TOO WAS A GOOD STUDENT. TYKES MOTHER WAS A NURSE AND A GOOD HOUSE KEEPER AS WELL.

MARTIN KNEESHAW AND KEVIN SIMMS, FELLOW STUDENTS OF YEAR FOUR NEVER GOT ALONG WITH TYKE AND DANNY. ONCE TYKE WAS AWAY FROM SCHOOL FOR TWO WEEKS BECAUSE OF ILL HEALTH. SIMMS TOOK THIS TO BE A GOOD OPPORTUNITY TO GET DANNY INTO TROUBLE. HE STOLE A GOLD WATCH WHICH THEIR TEACHER MRS SOMMERS HAD LEFT ON THE PIANO AND PUT IN DANNY’S SHOE BOX. POLICE CAME LOOKING FOR DANNY AND DANNY FLED FORM SCHOOL. TYKE WAS VERY DISTURBED TO HEAR THIS. TYKE IMMEDIATELY WENT TO THE CHIEF’S OFFICE AND REQUITED THE CHIEF SIR TO GO DEEP INTO THE MATTER AND FIND THE REAL CULPRITS. AS TYKE WAS SURE THAT DANNY COULD NEVER HAVE STOLEN A GOLD WATCH .

TYKE ALSO KNEW THAT DANNY WOULD HAVE BEEN HIDING IN THE MILL. TYKE MET DANNY PACIFIED HIM AND SOON ALL WAS SORTED OUT. IT SEEMS AS IF TYKE HAD A MAGICAL WAND FOR SORTING OUT THINGS.

DANNY ALWAYS THOUGHT THAT IT WAS DIFFICULT TO FIND A FRIEND LIKE TYKE. “A FRIEND IN NEED IS A FRIEND IN DEED” WAS A STATEMENT DESCRIBING TYKE. AT THIS POINT THE STORY ALSO MENTIONED A BIG SECRET THAT TYKE WAS NOT A BOY BUT A GIRL AND TYKE WAS NOT HIS ACTUAL NAME BUT HIS REAL NAME IS UNKNOWN.

LAST BUT NOT THE LEAST I WOULD LIKE TO NARRATE THE MOST DISASTROUS INCIDENT THAT TOOK PLACE ON TYKE’S LAST DAY OF THE TURBULENT TERM AT CRICKLIPIT COMBINED SCHOOL. THE SCHOOL WAS ONE OF THE OLDEST AND IT’S BUILDING WAS IN A DILAPIDATING CONDITION. TYKE CLIMBED THE ROOF TO RING THE BELL WHICH WAS NOT RUNG FOR YEARS. THE VIBRATION CREATED BY THE RINGING BELL CAUSED THE WHOLE SCHOOL TO COLLAPSE AS IF A BOMB HAD EXPLODED.

TYKE’S TURBULENT TERM CAME TO AN END. SHE ENDED UP IN HOSPITAL WITH A BROKEN ARM, A BROKEN ANKLE AND SOME BRUISES.

THE HEADMASTER (CHIEF SIR) FORGAVE HER FOR THE HAVOC SHE’D CAUSED AND VISITED HER WITH A POTTED PLANT WHICH HE TOLD HER TO WATER FREQUENTLY. MRS SOMMERS STAYED ANGRY WITH TYKE.

TYKE STILL INTENDEDS TO CLIMB THE ROCK FALL.

ST PATRICK’S DAY IS WIDELY CELEBRATED AROUND THE WORLD AND THE IRISH HAVE EARNED IT !!!!
                                              

ST PATRICK IS REMEMBERED ON MARCH 17^TH THE DAY HIS SOUL RESTED IN PEACE IS CELEBRATED WITH LARGE PARADES AROUND THE WORLD ESPECIALLY IN IRELAND AND USA.
ST PATRICK WAS BORN INTO A RICH FAMILY NOT A VERY RELIGIOUS FAMILY BUT A CHRISTIAN FAMILY. WHEN HE WAS 16 YEARS, SOME ROBBERS RAIDED HIS HOUSE, CAPTIVATED HIM, AND TOOK HIM TO IRELAND AS A PRISONER. WHEREAS, MANY BELIEVE THAT HE WAS TAKEN TO MOUNT SLEMISH IN COUNTY ANTRIM. AWAY AND ISOLATED HE SPENT SIX YEARS AS A SHEPARD. DURING HIS LONELINESS HE TURNED TO HIS RELIGION AND BECAME A DEVOTEE OF CHRISTIANITY. IT IS ALSO BELIEVED THAT ST PATRICK HAD ALSO STARTED TO CONVERT PEOPLE TO CHRISTIANITY.
WITHIN THIS TIME ST PATRICK HAD A DREAM IN WHICH GOD SAID HIM TO LEAVE IRELAND. TO OBEY THIS COMMAND ST PATRICK WALKED 200 MILES TO THE IRISH COAST FROM COUNTY MAYO THE ACTUAL PLACE WHERE HE WAS KEPT IMPRISONED. SOON HE REACHED BRITAIN COAST, WHERE HE GOT ANOTHER DREAM ABOUT AN ANGEL SAYING HIM TO GO BACK TO IRELAND AS A MISSIONARY. AND TOKE RELIGIOUS TRAINING A COURSE THAT LASTED FOR FIFTEEN YEARS. SOON AFTER THIS, HE BECAME A PRIEST AND WAS SELECTED FOR A DUAL MISSION OF KEEPING THE CHRISTIAN IRELAND’S CHRISTIAN AND CONVERTING MORE PEOPLE TO CHRISTIANITY.
ST PATRICK WAS NOW ENTIRELY FAMILIAR WITH THE IRISH. HE KNEW THEIR LANGUAGE AND RELIGION. THEREFORE, HE INCORPORATED THEIR RITUAL INTO HIS CHRISTIANITY COURSES RATHER THAN MAKING AN ATTEMPT OF ERADICATING THE IRISH BELIEFS. FOR INSTANCE, HE USED BONFIRES TO CELEBRATE EASTER SINCE THE IRISH WERE USED TO HONORING THEIR GODS WITH FIRE. THE IRISH ALSO BELIEVED IN MAGICAL STORIES AND MYTHS. ST PATRICK GAINED MORE RESPECT AND FAME FROM STORIES LIKE THE ONE, WHICH SAYS THAT ST PATRICK BANISHED ALL THE SNAKES FROM IRELAND USING HIS MAGIC, SPELLS.  THESE KIND OF STORIES GAINED POPULARITY IN IRELAND AND LEGENDS ABOUT ST PATRICK BECAME FAMOUS. HOWEVER, MOST OF HIS LIFE IS STILL A MYSTERY.  
BACK TO THE MID NINETEENTH CENTURIES IRELAND WAS HIT BY A POTATO FAMINE LEAVING PEOPLE TO STARVE. THEREFORE, PEOPLE STARTED TO POUR INTO AMERICA BUT WERE NOT WELCOMED BECAUSE OF THEIR FUNNY ACCENTS, AND THEIR CUSTOM , BELIEFS AND CULTURE LEAVING THEM IN FOREIGN LAND WITH NO JOBS IN POVERTY. WHEN IRISH AMERICANS IN THE COUNTRY’S CITIES TOOK TO THE STREETS ON ST. PATRICK’S DAY TO CELEBRATE THEIR HERITAGE, NEWSPAPERS PORTRAYED THEM IN CARTOONS AS DRUNK, VIOLENT MONKEYS. AFTER THIS THE IRISH PEOPLE FORMED AN ORGANIZATION OR SORT OF A IRISH COMMUNITY GROUP WITH IRISH AMERICANS CALLED THE GREEN MACHINE THIS FORMED A MAJORITY OF PEOPLE FOR PRESIDENTIAL VOTING AND INCREASING THE FOCUS (GOOD FOCUS) ON THEIR COMMUNITY AND THE ATTENTION OF GOVERNMENT ON THE ST PATRICK PARADES AND MAKING IT COMPULSORY FOR POLITICAL FIGURES TO ATTEND IT. IN 1948, PRESIDENT TRUMAN ATTENDED NEW YORK CITY’S ST. PATRICK’S DAY PARADE, A PROUD MOMENT FOR THE MANY IRISH AS THEIR ANCESTORS HAD TO FIGHT STEREOTYPES AND RACIAL PREJUDICE TO FIND ACCEPTANCE IN AMERICA.
SLOWLY ST PATRICK’S DAY WAS CELEBRATED IN MOST MULTICULTURAL COUNTRIES SUCH AS BRITAIN, CANADA, EUROPE AND AUSTRALIA. LAST YEAR, CLOSE TO ONE MILLION PEOPLE TOOK PART IN IRELAND ‘S ST. PATRICK’S FESTIVAL IN DUBLIN, A MULTI-DAY CELEBRATION FEATURING PARADES, CONCERTS, OUTDOOR THEATER PRODUCTIONS, AND FIREWORKS SHOWS. IN MODERN-DAY IRELAND, ST. PATRICK’S DAY HAS TRADITIONALLY BEEN A RELIGIOUS OCCASION. IN FACT, UP UNTIL THE 1970S, IRISH LAWS MANDATED THAT PUBS BE CLOSED ON MARCH 17. BEGINNING IN 1995, HOWEVER, THE IRISH GOVERNMENT BEGAN A NATIONAL CAMPAIGN TO USE ST. PATRICK’S DAY AS AN OPPORTUNITY TO DRIVE TOURISM AND SHOWCASE IRELAND TO THE REST OF THE WORLD.       
 
                                       

CORPORAL PUNISHMENTS ARE THEY FARE?? 

Stanley’s punishment to jail or camp for 18 months was fair by what information the judge had about his case. The judge was told that Stanley was a baseball fan and so he stole the famous baseballers’ shoes, which were going to be auctioned for homeless children’s welfare. However, this was not the case actually but since the judge had a misconception of the case, he thought that it was too immoral and low to steal from homeless children’s welfare fund. According to this, the judge’s decision was fare.

On the other hand, Stanley had not stolen the shoes he was only at the wrong place at the wrong time. He had not stolen the shoes they fell by themselves from the sky and he was just taking them for his father’s experiment. Nevertheless, this story was hard to believe.
The only person to be blamed is Stanley’s great-great-great-good-for-nothing-pig-stealing-grandfather’s curse upon the family.

Camp green lake was a detention centre situated in Texas desert. It was a cursed dry lakebed. Where everyday each detainee had to wake up early in the morning and start digging holes until the holes were as big as their spades which measure 5×5 ft. digging the hole took a long time and often detainee’s were on the lakebed under the scorching sun without a good water supply. In addition to the water problem, there were other dreadful dangers in the lakebed like rattlesnakes, scorpions and worse of them all the yellow spotted lizards with strong venom. All this injustice took place under selfish and irresponsible administrators of the camp. I feel that this kind of punishment is very uncivilised in our society of today. We are a sophisticated society and even the criminals should be dealt sophisticatedly. These criminals are under 16’s a very impressionable and emotionally tender age group who should never be put through such harsh conditions. They should be dealt with intelligent people who can understand them and change their personalty for better
