SAFE AS HOUSES CHAPTER 10 AND 11 (THE FINAL CHAPTERS)

Chapter 10 starts when they are wondering why the house is moving such as the other houses. They were scared and worried, but then David saw other lights flickering, so he waved his flashlight, but it was dim. The house was moving when Suzie woke up and they were in trouble! Elizabeth had an idea. She said that they can go to the trees that aren't broken, so they did.

In chapter 11 Lizzie goes to the tree first because she can catch David and Suzie. When she went into the water was freezing! When she got there she stayed at the bottom. As they all got there Suzie went to the top, David and Lizzie take shifts every 5 mins. Later that time they saw a boat, but it didn't see them, but the boat came back and saw them! When they got on shore they were relieved, then they wanted to use the phone, so they got into the police car and David said "We were safe as houses"

The challenges were always the same because there is only one huge problem.
The villian is still the same.
This is the end of the book, so there is no climax.

Chapter 8 and 9 of 'Safe As Houses'

In chapter 8 it begins when they are stuck on the roof while the city is flooding. The water is rising and they have to get higher. Lizzie went up to the highest point, but then she saw three figures on the house next to them. When she went back down she told Suzie and David to get to the top. When they got to the top, Elizabeth had to bring Daisy up. David used a belt to use it as a leash for Daisy. While bringing her up to the top, the belt broke and Daisy fell into the water!!

Chapter 9 starts when Lizzie and Suzie are worried that daisy is dead, but David told them not to worry. While sitting there, David sees the house next door moving and then all three see it drifting towards them, soon they are able to reach each other. The family next door is the Van Dyke family, they have 5 members in the family, but there's only 3.

The new challenges they have to face is to survive this chaos and the cold or they might die. In my opinion these chapters are in between the climax because hte excitement started when the house was flooding. There is a villain and it is the storm because the storm is flooding the city.

My prediction in chapter 11 is that the water reaches to them and now they have to swim and find shelter.

Spirit day !!!!

On November 28, 2009 it was a special day for the grade seven because of SPIRIT DAY!! At Spirit Day they celebrated before we have Confirmation. There are the things that are my favourite. "Canada So You Think You Got Talent Crew Idol", we also had these juggling performance and this great artist of music that relates to God.

In "so you think you got talent" it was about competition there was a poet, a guitar person, cheerleaders, rap dudes and these people who believe in God. Then, one of the judges he is a jerk and said to them "To win you have to get the immunity idol." When he put on the ground they started fighting over the immunity. Then, one of the followers of Christ told them to stop while her partner, Joseph was quietly sneaking to get it. She asked him what he was doing and he had a temptation of the trophy. Then he said something really bad to her so she left, and then they kicked off the one who started the immunity idol and let the janitor be the third judge because she knows what she's doing. At the end of the show the winner of the show is Matt Mar!

After that show these two people named Brad and Gene. They are the APEX team they entertain us by juggling; they also have funny jokes like Brad told Gene to put the chair on fire and I laughed so hard! Brad told a story about her sister, Britney. It had really touched my heart. They told a story about a boy who became a famous juggler long time ago and his name was Giovanni. In the story he was poor, but them he joined the circus and he had a yellow ball called the golden sun. One time he dropped the golden sun and everyone started "booing" him, so he stopped juggling. One time he was juggling for a kid, but then he had a heart attack and the kid was holding the golden sun and smiling. They do this for there family because Brad has four children and we can donate money to them by buying t- shirts.

At the beggining of the show and the end this great artist Matt Mar that sang songs that related to Jesus; it also felt like a concert. I sang every song he sang and he did the music i nthe mass and also this boy was singing in the mass and that was pretty cool!

I haved enjoyed that time and i hope next year for the grade sixes they will have a blast!
