Own Myth

Me: “You must die!

Girl: Death shall be brought to you.

As we collided weapons, she had a secret dagger on her other hand and pierced me right through my chest. I dropped then she raised her sword and struck me on my heart.

“Is my death being guided to Heaven or Hell?”                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                       Am I dead…?                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                   Then I saw something, something moving closer; a Man In White trying to tell me something so I moved nearer so I could apprehend to what was being said.The Man in White: “It’s not over”I was confused – wasn’t it over; am I not dead…?                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                       I blinked then I was back on the battlefield – alive and awoken from the dead.I stood up…                                                                                                                                                                                       Looked around…                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                     While I was strolling I stepped on something – a button then;                                                                                                                                                                                                                                     BOOM!                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        The explosion’s effect was ineffective but I felt the urge to inhale right into the fire. Then as I exhaled a form of gas developed into the air.                                                                                                             Then, I saw him The Man In White. He spoke.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                 The Man in White: “The form of gas that you just exhaled is a rare attribute one can obtain after their death; it is the power of Magic designated for only the chosen ones. You have the attribute of a Fire-type which is the most powerful among the four elements but only if you have the correct skill: knowing your weaknesses, endurance to take pain, to be patient for the tasks you will be given and the will to carry on. From then on, and then only, you will have mastered your strength and would have reached your full potential, so you can fight your enemy to the fullest and to destroy her. You will have a month of training if you do not achieve your full potential you will be sacrificed for a much more advanced and skilled warrior. You will find a fire symbol marked on the right arm a soon as you have completed your tasks and achieved your expectations. Until then, I will not appear to you. From this moment on you are alone with your teacher.”

 

The End of Chapter One         

 

Wide Reading Project

753f9f17cf6ccc4a907e32e089064b73

During the year you will be asked to read a wide range of texts. Using texts studied in class as well as texts you have selected you will also complete a log of the reading process. Overall you will read eight texts including at least six written texts and two visual texts. You will complete log entries on each text and present a report on your findings.

Attached is the outline of your required personal reading project – inside is the guidance you need to make sure your own-choice reading is going to meet the wide reading criteria.

You can always ask your teacher for advice about which texts would be best to concentrate on – and once you’ve read each text, you’ll then be asked to write a journal entry on your blog explaining how it helped develop your understanding of The Individual and Society.

This year everyone in the school will be required to have a ‘book at hand’ – and for English students, it makes a good idea to make that book one that helps you towards this reading project.
