BOOKS I READ :

AMY WILD
I think Amy Wild is an adventure genre beacuse the story tells me that a girl went to the rainforest with her aunt Grace to photo different and scary animals that have never been captured on camera before. It is mostly suspense because Grace and Amy 


CHAOS UNLEASHED
I think that chaos is a suspense-based genre book that involves a bit of mystery. About a boy who's name is Jake Highfield gets given away to a university because he was a criminal. It involves mystery because here and tere they have to dolve some little puzzes to get out of the building . He tried to escape the university but also met a girl called Angel. She ends up being his girlfriend and they run away together, because the university was full of crazy teachers that ended up being phsicos

The sound of thunder

                                                        Comprehensive Questions.
1. The penalty for disobeying instructions is 10,000 dollars.
2.It would have a very bad dictatorship , and they would of  rather been in 1492.
3. He said the best way to kill a dinosaur is to blind him first and then shoot him in the brains.
4. They traveled six million two thousand and fifty five years.
5. They didn't want to chase anything in the future.
6. They were sterilized.
7. They put on special suites and oxygen masks to make sure they don't spread any of their own bacteria.
8. They only shot the ones with the paint on because those are the ones who will die first.
9. He aimed his tub at him
10. He said that it could reach the moon which means the Dino is massive.
11. The Dino had red paint on his body
12. Threw up
13. He had to get  the bullets out.
14. Another men was president
15. Small Golden Butterfly

1. The sound of thunder sounds like a shot fired from a gun , at the end of the story he fired a bullet which sounds like thunder.

2. I chose the 7th paragraph.
"So what?" Travis snorted quietly. "Well, what about the foxes that'll need those mice to survive? For want of ten mice, a fox dies. For want of ten foxes a lion starves. For want of a lion, all manner of insects, vultures, infinite billions of life forms are thrown into chaos and destruction. Eventually it all boils down to this: fifty-nine million years later, a caveman, one of a dozen on the entire world, goes hunting wild boar or saber-toothed tiger for food. But you, friend, have stepped on all the tigers in that region. By stepping on one single mouse. So the caveman starves. And the caveman, please note, is not just any expendable man, no! He is an entire future nation. From his loins would have sprung ten sons. From their loins one hundred sons, and thus onward to a civilization. Destroy this one man, and you destroy a race, a people, an entire history of life. It is comparable to slaying some of Adam's grandchildren. The stomp of your foot, on one mouse, could start an earthquake, the effects of which could shake our earth and destinies down through Time, to their very foundations. With the death of that one caveman, a billion others yet unborn are throttled in the womb. Perhaps Rome never rises on its seven hills. Perhaps Europe is forever a dark forest, and only Asia waxes healthy and teeming. Step on a mouse and you crush the Pyramids. Step on a mouse and you leave your print, like a Grand Canyon, across Eternity. Queen Elizabeth might never be born, Washington might not cross the Delaware, there might never be a United States at all. So be careful. Stay on the Path. Never step off!"

a)  "The stomp of your foot, on one mouse, could start an earthquake" -touch sense. Because he can touch the groundbto change a lot.
b)  "Step on a mouse and you crush the Pyramids." -Touch. you can touch the mouse and pyramids.
c)  "Perhaps Europe is forever a dark forest" -Sight. You can see how Europe was never changed.

3. a) Travis said they gurantee nothing, then later in the story he got shot.
    b) Eckels stepped on the ground , then when they came back to the present some things were changed , things like letters.
    c) If Eckeles wouldn't of taken the bullets out of the dino there might not of been a buterfly affect

.
    d)Travis dosent want Eckeles to kill any animals to make sure he wont change the future.

Landlady

1. Foreshadowing means presenting something with an act before hand "...and we don't want to go breaking any laws at this stage in the proceedings, do we?


2.foreshadowing and inference are to different words. But they mean almost the same thing. An inference is when a consequence happens because of evidence. Foreshadowing is when the writer gives you a hint that there is going to be some kind of murder.
"the landlady liked her home to be cozy" evidence from the story:" He noticed that the bedspread had been taken off the bed, and that the
bedclothes had been neatly turned back on one side, all ready for someone to get in. "
3.
Swanky - They had porches and pillars and four or five steps going up to their front doors, and it was obvious that once upon a time they had been very swanky residences.
congenial - On the other hand, a pub would be more congenial than a boarding-house.
 Rapacious - The name itself conjured up images of watery cabbage, rapacious landladies, and a powerful smell of kippers in the living-room.
Dither - After dithering about like this in the cold for two or three minutes, Billy decided that he would walk on and take a look at The Bell and Dragon before making up his mind.
Compelling - Each word was like a large black eye staring at him through the glass, holding him, compelling him, forcing him to stay where he was and not to walk away from that house, and the next thing he knew, he was actually moving across from the window to the front door of the house, climbing the steps that led up to it, and reaching for the bell. 
Compulsion - The compulsion or, more accurately, the desire to follow after her
into that house was extraordinarily strong. 
Dotty - The old girl is slightly dotty, Billy told himself. But at five and sixpence a night, who gives a 
 damn about that?
Dainty - “Dear me,” she said, shaking her head
and heaving a dainty little sigh. 
Tantalizing - Mum was cooking dinner in the kitchen, it smelled tantalizing!
Linger - She didn't want leave, she was lingering now, that was plenty annoying.
Emanate - "They say it's new" she said to me while strange noises were coming out of the building.
Malevolent - She had that malevolent look on her face, the look of a bully.
Naive - I gave her the malevolent look, she better be afraid, that horrid naive,so terrible ,so hopeful.
Gullible - I couldn't believe myself , they stole my money because I believed them, why am I such a gullible? 
Beguiling- My friend really wanted that doll, she thought that she looked beguiling.
4. a. She seems way to kind - feel. If the women wouldn't of been oddly too kind , it wouldn't of shown that she might be a murderer.
b. If Billy wouldn't of come on this adventure , then the story would be different. - all senses.
5.I feel that she might be a murderer.
Because of her strangely odd kindness to the man and how she said :“I’m so glad you appeared,” she said, looking earnestly into his face. “I was beginning to get worried.” And also this "she looked up at him out of the corners of her eyes and gave him another gentle little smile.
“No, my dear,” she said. ‘Only you.' That did quite creep me out, but with that sentence at the end I understood the story more.
6.The climax of the story is in the end of the story. I think that because she revealed herself at the end by saying she stuffs living animals .
7. That doesn't really change my appreciation to the story. I still really like the story .
