Punk Rock Chapter 7 Summary



This is my second post on this blog about "Punk Rock" by Richard Allen.

In this chapter Raymond Kerr goes to a Punk festival in some park in London. During one of the concerts a girl tries to get up on the stage a guard tries to stop her the lead singer in the band takes a guitar and smashes it on the guards head a massive brawl braks out. Kerr is knocked to the ground by a skinhead. One of the punks takes out a knife and "carves" his way towards the skinhead.
Kerr finally makes it out of the festival and calls the police but they say: You'd be better of to talk to the people who arranged the festival. Then he calls his boss.

So there's a summary of what happened in chapter 7 of "Punk Rock" by Richard Allen.

Diary of a Wimpy Kid

The Diary of a Wimpy Kid series is based on a kid that writes in his diary and the author has made the book so you read out of his diary. The kid that writes in his diary is named greg and he has an evil brother that he dislikes.

Greg writes about everything he goes through for about 3 years so far. I hope that they make a new Diary of a Wimpy Kid that tells you about his late teens. I would recommend this book to any boy/teen.I have read every single Diary of a Wimpy Kid and i only liked the last 2 books that are made so far.

Boy Overboard

"Boy Overboard" By Morris Gleitzman is a well written book with a great story, the main character is Jamal, who lives in afghanistan, he lives with his Mother, Father and Sister. Jamal loves to play football and hes a big Manchester United fan.
Ever since the talibans have taken over the country, they have implied cruel rules, such as disallowing education. Jamals mother and father runs a illigeal school at their home.
As the government finds out about this they try to execute Jamals parents, their house is blown up and they are forced to try to move out of the country. They have to go a long way to reach safety, and its not easy.

Right now I'm reading a book called ``Diary of a wimpy kid Rodrick Rules´´that is the second book in the series and it seems to be a really good book. This book doesen't really have chapters it's more like days when the main character Greg tells the reader what he have been trought.

So far in the book I have come to a part when Greg is supposed to write a letter in french to a guy in France but as usualy Greg is very lazy and tells the guy in France that both of them should speak in english instead.

I really recomend this book because so far the book is really intresting and really funny.

I Have also read the first book and i think that they are the same funny but I really recomend this book and hope you will read it soon.

Boy Overboard

So far... Boy Overboard has been a good story about a family who has to move because the goverment blows up their house. The goverment blows up their house because according to them they broke the taliban rules.

The family is made up of Jamal, Bibi, and there parents which i dont know the names of. Their dad leaves them at a abbandoned gas station with food and money. He leaves them because he needs to pick up their mom at a football stadium.

That is all i have read so far....

Measle Stubbs and vredesmunken








This is a swedish book and it's called Measlle Stubs och Vredesmunken, I don't know what it's called in english so I went on Translate and it said that it was called Measle Stubbs and the angry monk..???
I like this book very much.
Measle Stubbs is a boy who lives with his parents in a nice little house but across the street there lives a wierd man. It's Measles Uncle but Measle dosen't know him. The only thing he does know about his uncle is that he never talks to enyone after his wife died.
His uncles house is painted in black and there's always a dark raincloud over his house.
The raincloud follows his uncle wherever he goes..
One day his parents dies in a car crash (I think) so Measle have to live with his uncle. He's uncle get's all the money from his parents and he dosen't even give Measle a dollar. His uncle is very mean to him and Measle can only sleep on the dirty floor in the kitchen.
He don't get eny food and he never showers, that's why Measle is really thin and smells. His uncle is also very thin and pale.
One day his uncle takes Measle to his attic and when Measle sees the huge playtown of wood he really wishes that he could play with it, but of course he's not allowed.
One day Measle is in the kitchen and see's the telephone and get's an idea.
He calls he's uncles mobilephone and his uncle walks slowly to his phone (because he was eating doughnuts with pink milk), Measle tells his uncle that he have to come to the bank and talk about the money that is left from Measles parents.
His uncle curses and goes to the bank.
Measle runs up to the attic and sees the playtown and the doughnuts with a bottle of pink milk.
Measle first takes one doughnut, and then another and then alot of pink milk. Measle didn't think of how much doughnuts he had taken so he looked at the box where the doughtnuts where and it was empty! The milk bottle was also empty.
He decided to not think about it right now because that would waste his "play" time.
He looked at his uncles playtown and saw that the figures in the town looked really real.
There was a kid, a man fixing the lights and a old lady with a small dog.
Measle heard footsteps. Measle didn't have any wear to hide.
He heard that someone stopped outside the door.
Measle decided to hide behind the door and sneak out when his uncle wasn't looking but that never happend.
His uncle open the door and looked straight at Measle and said:
-Why are you in here Meassssssle? You know you shouldn't be here.
Measle hated the way that his uncle talked. He always sounded lake a snake.
-I am very sorr...
Measle didn't finish his sentence because his uncle had started to count.
-Three, four and five.
His uncle said a spell and Measle started to shrink.
Measle shrunk even more until he was so small like the dolls in the playtown.
His uncle put Measle on the table of wood, laughed and walked away.

I want to wright more about this book but I can't because I will wright to much.

A letter from Jamal....

Today I've been playing football with Yusuf. It was really fun but suddenly Bibi came out! Girls aren't allowed to be outisde or play football. I couldn't stop her, she ran to the ball and kicked it. The ball landed next to a tank!
We tried to get the ball for a long time because the ball was under the tank. I was a bit scared because I thought the tank was going to shoot on us. In the end everything turned out fine.

Marked


Zoey Redbird is a usual girl until she get marked. When you get marked you have to leave your family and your human life behind, and start your new life as a vampire. House of night is the Vamp school that have to go too. There you will be studying your new life (a vampire life) or you die. If you don´t go too the school you will die in a few days. So Zoey goes to The House of Nights. It´s not really different to live a vamp-life and a human life, you go shopping, watch TV and be with vampire friends. But Zoey got more than just boyfriend problems...

Boy Overboard - Morris Gleitzman


Chapter 12 of this book is really dramatic. Jamal, the main character, is only 12 and lives in Afghanistan. He loves football and one day follows his dad into a football stadium because he thinks he will meet a football manager and become famous. However, when he gets into the stadium he doesn't find a famous football team or Sir Alex Ferguson, he finds Taliban soldiers about to punish women who have been caught teaching illegally. One of those women is his mum!
Jamal knows he has to do something and runs to save his mum, but he is too late. Before he can reach her a taxi screams into the stadium, amongst a cloud of smoke and his mother is rescued before the soldiers can shoot.

It is only later that Jamal realises that his mother's rescuer is his father, a true hero!

This was very exciting and dramatic, I was so pleased that Jamal's family is safe but I was sad that the other women in the stadium did not escape.

I can't wait to read the rest of the book. Jamal's family is now on the run and I really hope that they can escape to somewhere safe.

Twilightbooks by Stephenie Meyer


The Twilight-series is some of my favourite books.
I have read Twilight, New Moon and Eclipse.

There is also movies made: Twilight,New Moon and Eclipse but the fourth book is coming out sometime next year,I think (Breaking Dawn).
There is a movieparody of all the Twilight movies: Vampires Suck.
Vampires Suck.
I have seen the movie and it's really funny.

I like the books and the movies equally because they are so different.
In the book Stephenie discribes more details,people and places.
In the movies it's just so different, so I think it's better to see the movies first and then read the books because then it's much easier to understand where the people in the book are.
