Credible - Believable (Sarn Cook)

 Great authors make characters with believable personalities. They show personalities through these: Dialogue, action, reactions, thoughts. I can see these in Beans character. Beans is disrespectful, obnoxious, careless around people, and does what he pleases. From these personalities, he is just using actions.

Persuasive Writing (Sarn Cook).

 In-class & in Lockdown, we have been learning about persuasive writing and how it can affect people when using emotive language, correct punctuation, and great detail.

Name :Sarn Cook

Audience: Government, The Public

Purpose: Job loses cause of Lockdown.

People Shouldn’t lose their Jobs because of Lockdown!

Covid 19 -  the job thief. How many people have lost their jobs during lockdown? 

Today in level 4 people have been losing their jobs due to the Delta Variant, a new

virus that researchers found in the sewage in Warkworth and in wellington. In my

opinion, I think people shouldn’t lose their jobs because it makes them struggle,

mentally and financially. In this speech I will be telling you why people shouldn’t lose

their jobs in lockdown and why they should keep their jobs.

Main Idea 1

People shouldn’t lose jobs because then they won’t get paid, which is not good cause

they could end up on the street. One of my Papa’s mates lost his jobs because of the

lockdown, so he had to become a rubbish man as an essential worker so he doesn’t lose

his job again. This is what happens to people when we go into lockdown because of the

high number of cases. According to Health.govt.nz there have been 55 new cases today and 603 cases in total. This is terrible because

the more cases we get the longer the lockdown is, which is petrifying because people are losing

their jobs for no reason. My statement is that the government shouldn’t allow people to lose

their jobs during lockdown, but keep their jobs in case of financial problems or homelessness.

When you're driving down the street you might see homeless people walking around asking for

money or trying to shoplift. Those people could have been people who lost their job, According

to bbc.com Damian Fowler says. Millions of kiwis have been losing their jobs due to the Covid 19 outbreak.

Main Idea 2

I think you should know that trying to find another job is harder than finding your first. That's

because Lockdown closed down businesses for a reeeaally long time, so there’s no opportunity

for them to even apply for the job. Or even see if there's a job for them to apply for, I

think the government should lend job applications out to people who don’t have a job,

because they might end up on the street. Or even better, I think the Government

should build a street full of homes for people who don’t have homes to live in.

Like that would be amazing, so that when you're driving or walking up the road you will

see that everyone is happy and everyone has a home.

Main Idea 3

Lockdown Level 4 - Everyone's worst nightmare . . . or daymare. In Level 4 it's

boring, very boring. I heard that someone's experience in Level 4 was boring. All of

her siblings were hitting and yelling at each other. Yelling, Screaming, Fighting - Was

your lockdown like that? If so that must of been dumb. It must of been mentally

challenging and frustrating time without being able to go to work. People would suffer

or even get depressed because they can't go to work and provide for there whanau,

or put food on the table.

Summary

People shouldn’t lose their jobs to lockdown; they should be able to keep them and

still get paid so they don’t end up on the street or in poverty. People need to open

their eyes and take a look at themselves and think again about those who are suffering

on the street.

SKATEPARK HEAVEN

In class, we have been learning about figurative language, some other sentences, and been writing about our holidays.

  Skatepark Heaven

On the holidays, last week Me and a few of my mates, Kymani, Addison, Morgan, John, Rico and Devin went down to auckland to the indoor skatepark. My Nan took us down and got us each a new BAKER skateboard at HIGH VOLTAGE. We entered Whangarei and stopped in at Maccas for a feed. Me and Addison got a Big Mac Combo, while Kymani and Morgan had breakfast meals, John, Rico and Devin had wraps and fries. An hour later we arrived in auckland and tried to find a motel, the hotel we stayed in was Sundew motel Auckland. A few minutes later we finished packing away our things then got back in the car and we blasted like a bullet waiting to hit our target. 

  ¨Are we there yet¨? I asked. It felt like we were close to the indoor skatepark.. ¨ We're here. Nan said. “Finally”. I said in my head. We all got out of the car and got our skateboards out of the boot and headed inside. It was like everything I ever dreamed of, there were grind rails, wax, manual pads, Verts, Spines, Multi-Bowls, and so much more. We paid in and then ZOOMED into the skatepark and learned so many tricks, what I learned was Trayflip off of pyramid and Double varial heelflip. “Oi''. Addison said. “Lets play a game of skate”. He said. “Yo”. I said. “Dibs first set”. Rico said. Rico set Kickflip out of Multi-bowl, most of us got it but Morgan and John. When everyone did their set I was thinking of the craziest thing to do. “Ok my set is Hardflip back lip into Multibowl '. On my first go I failed and fell and my board laughed at me. ¨Guys now Iḿ gonna land it¨. I said. With a little bit of bravery and a lot of Craziness I landed Hardflip back lip into multibowl. It was the most best thing in the world. 

Reflection 

On that day all of us were stoked that I landed Hardflip back lip into multibowl.

But after all that Sk8ing we were all just hungry.

The End.

Event 1

Event 2 (most exciting part. They fight real Danger

Who: Jake, Luke, Harry and Johnny                                     

THE END OF THE WORLD

I opened my curtains to see that the day was nice and the air was fresh but something

was stirring up in the World. “Hey guy looks at this,” Harry said. Everyone crowded

around the TV. I rushed downstairs to see what was going on. The news reporter said

that the World is coming to an end and there’s only 24hrtill the world is destroyed. “Do you think this is real boys”? I said. We were terrified,

but we wanted to save the World.

A few minutes later. “HURRY UP GUYS WE HAVE TO GET OUT OF HERE BEFORE MUM

GETS HOME”!! We packed our bags and hit the road for any DANGER.

KABOOM!! “VOLCANO ERUPTION EVERYONE EVACUATE”!!!

We ran and ran to safety until I donked my head and a red button came out. “This was

easier than I thought to stop danger”. But the button was actually a teleportation device.

“Uh-oh”. Luke said. “Hooray air trip”. Jake the idiot said. We were teleported to the realm

of destruction on Planet Earth, everything was coming to an end, cities were colliding

people were dying. “What are we going to do”. Johnny said. “Boys, we shall die together

with all the way to the end”. I said.1 hour later we had to go to the hospital cause we had

major injures. Sadly Harry had the worst and he passed away on the way to the hospital.

We all cried and said Farwell brother. “WWWWAAAAAAAA”!!! We cried.

THE END.
