book genres

According to research taken out by scientists boys prefer to read fantasy and scientific novels than any other kind.

The reasons for this is that many boys like to read books that involve stories that have action and strange events that lead to action. Boys also like to read stories that are not straight forward so that they dont get boared after a short period of time. Finally the fantasy part of the story means that the boys who read it can picture things a little different than what they should be.

I believe that this does realate to me in some aspects but not in others. First of all i prefer to read war books and action books, but the genre of fantasy can lead to action and war.

The point of view that boys prefer science fiction booke to other genres is hard to compare to other styles of books as everyone is different and therefore enjoy different books as and genres. I know that in my family my brother much prefers to read stories that involve science fiction caharcters but my dad would rather read non-fiction stories about other people.

My favourite genre would have to be action because i enjoy reading about big battle scenes and also read about how the characters feel in them. e.g. stories about gallipoli.

poetry final response.

Peotry has remained as a very popular past time over the centuries through the gererations because of the way it is written. Poetry unlike prose appeals to many people with its catchy rhymes and fast flowing lyrics. In todays society poetry has remained very popular because it has been incorparated into many peoples favourite pastimes such as listening to music and watching tv, in which poetry is used in adds.

The most popular form of poetry nowdays are music which just about every person in the world listens to, this is because the poetry is added with drums and guitars and many other musical instruments.

poetry plays many roles in todays society including being used in tv adverts, newspaper adverts, lyrics and birthday cards.

I believe that the reason that poetry appeals to so many people is that it is catchy and easy to read. It also can add humour to birthday cards stories and songs. For many people peotry appeals to them because it is a relaxing thing to read and helps them unwind after a long day.

The poetry that i enjoy most would certainly be reading comedic poetry which involves jokes and smart rhyming.

A poem that i know about is twinkle twinlke little star. I am not sure who it was written by but i know it was written a long time ago and is featured in many childeren rhyming books. This poem is a childerens poem and it is memorable to me because as i young child i used to love reading peoms and this was my favourite because it had actions with it.

cheers for reading.

POETRY

i believe that The qoutation at the top of the page means that peotry is vital in life and is very important to the human race as it adds compassion to a 'cold' world.

i partly believe the statement that is made, this is because some people may live for poetry and believe that it is important but then some other people may not feel the same way. Also some people may not believe in love and compassoin, for example cold killers.

The two examples of poetry that i collected last night are the lyrics from the paint supplies add that is shown regurarly on tv and a poem that i found about a deceased family member in the advertiser.

The purpose of writing these two things as poems and not as prose is that in the paint supplies add it adds a catchy tune to the add catching peoples eyes. With the peom for the deceased family member it adds depth to the sorry of the family is feeling, through using poetry the family can also cover the deceased persons values quite quickly.

You tube clip

Today in class i watched a youtube video clip abou the worlds progress. The clip made me astounded with how well the world has progresses in the last 20 years, and how fast it still is advancing. I believe that the most interesting fact on this clip was that 100% of all indian University graduates speak English. This is amazing for a non english speaking country.



Although some of the information in this slide was outstanding i believe that it was believeable and correct because the world is advancing at such a dramatic rate.

in regard to my own life this clip made me feel very lucky to be living in Australia where we do not have some of the problems that the lesser countries experience. It also made me feel asthough Australians are being left behing by the developing countries like India.

DRUGSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSs

i believe that elite sports people using drugs is completely wrong and sends a really bad message toward young atheletes who want to aspire to be their best. I personally believe that it is never right for a professional sportsman to use drugs unless their health demands they be used (mental disabilities). Although these drugs will not necessarly effect the atheletes ability to perform in a positive way is still sends the wrong messae to young childeren.

I think that random drug tests should reqularly run in high level sports to ensure that all atheletes are following the rules properly. Anyone that is caught using drugs should face immediate fines and suspension, including rehab. I do not think that clubs who find their players in violation should remove them from the club as this may just make them want to use the drug more and enter a downward spiral.

dont take drugs! YEA

book or movie???

Today i am going to talk about the great debacle which is better the book or the movie of the book.

Personally i believe that the book is a much better option that than the movie version of it. Many books are hundreds of pages long and are very indepth about the attitudes of the characters their feelings and the chalanges they face. Another advantage of the book is that the Author can put in as much information as they like.

A movie on the other hand cannot go into the same depth as a book as they only have a limited amount of time to get the story across to the audience. In a movie there is not enough time to explain how the characters feel, also in a movie many smaller scenes are not incorparated and much of the time is spent in battle scenes. This is bad as it is normally the smaller scenes that are what brings the story to life.

A good example of a book being better than the movie was in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. During the book Harry the main character learns much about a creature that is much like an lobster but sends out electric jolts. Later in the story Harry has to face the creatures in a maze where he defeats them after having so much practice against them. In the movie the dangerous creatures that harry has so much to do with are not mentioned at all. When it comes to the maze scene it is very boring as harry has nothing to face.

This is why i like books much better than their movie partner.

Today i am goin to talk about the new rules that have been put forward for the Austrlian Football league.



From when AFL began back in the 1980's there have been many adaptions to the rules of australian football which has consequently changed the way it has been played. The newest rule that hase come under some critisism has been the hands in the back rule that was altered at the start of this season. The new hands in the back rule states that and contact in someones back during a marking contest will result in a free kick.

This new rule i believe is a good rule that rewards the man in front position and also stops the bigger players form pushing the smaller player out of the contests.
