"The Hunger Games"- Poem

"The Hunger Games"- Poem

Again another tribute stands
with trembling feet
and shaking hands
as her long wispy braid hangs down her shoulder
Cato arrives with fury as large as boulders
his spear aimed just right slashing through trees
as she aimed her bow about... another 20 degrees
sweat roll down her cold pale face
as the end rolls near, she checks the space
left and right, she knows its the end
one last arrow to spend
right through...
but then Cato ran and sped
and all Katniss could think about was...
The Boy with the Bread.

"Looking For Alaska"-Movie in the Making

"Looking For Alaska"- Movie in the Making

Hello Everybody, I'm sorry this has to be yet another sappy post about one of my favourite books (other than the 'Hunger Games', 'Wool' and of course 'The Fifth Wave') "Looking For Alaska" by John Green. Is it just me or are any of you out there praying that a movie dedicated to this book will come out. (well I know I am) 'TFIOS' has it's own movie as well as 'Paper Towns' Why not the book that started it all...
I'm going to explain who I think should be playing the character roles (in MY movie) and why... Please comment down below if you guys agree or think I should change something.

ALASKA- I definitely think my first choice would be 'Kaya Scodelario' to play Alaska. When I thought about who she be Alaska, Kaya popped into my head immediately. I'm not kidding she checks all the boxes.
- She' so pretty
- Funny
- Stands up for her friends (except in Scorch Trials you kind of let your mates down there)
- And who doesn't want Maze Runner power in there some how?!?

PUDGE- Freddie Highmore all the way! Do I really need to say more?
- Super cute!
- Loving
- English (bet he could do a great American accent though)
- The hair (oh my god) it's perfect

THE COLONEL (CHIP MARTIN)- This movie is absolutely fandom packed (YASS). Kaya from the Maze Runner, and Josh Hutcherson from The Hunger Games! He Is PERFECT!
- Cheek bones
- Eyes
- Hair again
Sorry going off track but seriously if you've read the book you know it's meant to be.

"Clary Fray"- Obituary

"Clary Fray"-Obituary (City of Bones)

I'm sad to recall, but a very close friend of mine, Clary Fray, passed away last week due to a terrible accident. Clary, Jace, The Lightwoods and I went patrolling the dark, miserable alley ways of New York City on that glum Friday, and heard an horrible screeching sound. We turned a corner and saw a lifeless body of a young girl with black hair as dark as ravens and hands as cold as a ice. Her body was drained of life and all the happiness was too, but there was something else, a gruesome, sharp fanged bite, which blood seeped out of and down her neck creating a trail that led into a night sky of shadows. I warned Clary it was a bad idea, but she won the argument and I had no choice, in to the shadows where anything could happen. Suddenly, the darkness crept over us creating a seal that blocked all sunlight to enter. Vampires. I was right. We never should have come. Screams came from my friends around me and cries of laughter from these beautiful but deadly people exploded into the night. I felt my self growing weak as blood seeped from my wounds. Just as all hope seemed lost, Jace pulled out his glowing sword and used the last bit of his strength to scare them away. One by one we all escaped from the darkness and back into reality. All but one. Days past and we began to believe Clary was not truly dead. Until, just yesterday we went patrolling again and found her lifeless body floating on the little river that ran just outside the city. As her blood turned the water a cherry red, we hugged, cried, said good bye and buried her body outside the institute along with all the others. Then we reported to Hodge. Clarys funeral is set for next Tuesday which happens to be her birthday. Everybody from Idris is going. But not me.

"The Mortal Instruments": Series - Poem

I see flocks of angels burrowed beneath their wings
and hear their ignorant cries of laughter.

I see the demons that feast on mundane blood
and smell the fear of their victims.

I see vampires that lure their prey in for a drink
and witness the death and it's beauty.

I see the werwolves claw through raw succulent meat
and taste the filth of my surroundings.

I see the Silent Brothers whip around corners
and sense their hideous features.

I don't see the Night Children
but they see me.

Letter to Alaska

"Looking For Alaska"-Letter to Alaska- CNY

Dear Alaska,
I know you probably won't be able to read this but... I still have a couple things to say. To be fair you're not the greatest role model, for example; ditching school, smoking with friends, and of course... not keeping your promise to Pudge. He looked up to you, loved you, yet all of this went to your head and still the promise we all hoped you would forfill turned to ashes. This all sounds negative( talking to a dead person,what the hell Maya! )but you did forfill my 'Great Perhaps'. You were what I expected you to be(in a amazing way) to let loose, to not care what others thought about you, to stand up for friends. You helped me find the one thing I could never find on my own... 'MY Great Perhaps'. Even though you treated the 'Colonel' badly, even though you sort of cheated on you BF, even Pudge. I forgive you. And I hope you forgive me for this really cheesy letter.
Find it Alaska.
Find YOUR 'Great Perhaps'.
Rest In Peace.
From,
the cheesiest person in the world, who wrote the cheesiest letter in the world.
Maya

"The 5th Wave"(about the author)

Rick Yancey is an American author who has been known for his outstanding works of suspense, fantasy, and science fiction aimed at young adults.

Yancey's first professional book "Burning in Homeland" was published 2004.

By 2010, Yancey had completed the first book in The Monstrumologist series. The tetralogy tells the tale of a 19th-century doctor and his young apprentice, who race around the world chasing—and being chased by—monsters. This highly acclaimed series, published by Simon and Schuster Children’s Books in the U.S. and the U.K, and in eight foreign language editions, comprised four books: The Monstrumologist (2009), The Curse of Wedigo(2010), The Isle of Blood (2011), and The Final Descent(2013).

In 2013, Yancey’s next trilogy kicked off with The 5th Wave, published in more than thirty additional languages around the world. The book, an immediate New York Times Best Seller, follows 16-year-old Cassie Sullivan as she tries to survive in a post-apocalyptic world devastated by the waves of an alien invasion. The invasion has already demolished the population and pushed civilisation back to the Stone Age. As one of Earth's last survivors, Cassie is left to fend for herself and overcome multiple obstacles to save her brother, Sammy, with the help of a beguiling young man who may not be exactly who he seems.

Soon, on the 14th of January 2016, his famous novel "The Fifth Wave", will be adapted into a movie.

The Curse Of The Bouncing Chicken Wing

"The Curse of the Bouncing Chicken Wing"(short story)

 The world stood still.
Stopped turning.
 I couldn't think straight. My eyes were blurry, nothing seemed right. It was like a black hole, keeps going and going until you realise there's no getting out of it. Unless you're Superman, Iron Man or whatever, but in this case...I was not.

 A short stubby man with a big, bulky nose and nerdy glasses, that were far too big for his head, was staring right at me from across a small wooden table, at least I think he was, as I said, "I couldn't think straight." He was asking me questions, I suppose, but all that I could come across was "explain" this "explain" that, so on. You don't expect a 8 year old girl to sit in a chair and answer a bunch of question from the FBI, recalling every single detail of the most horrifying moment of her life. At least I got some pringles.

 This is how it went.

 When I was a little girl my dream was not find the only unicorn on earth, or meet Pinkie Pie from My Little Ponies, OK, maybe that was one of them, but my most important one of all was... to become the all time champion of "The Chicken Wing Championships" in Texas, I knew this is what I always wanted.
 Five years of preparation, and finally the time came! I was ready!

I arrived to "The Chicken Wing Championships" surprised. I was the only 8 year old girl fighting for my spot, everybody else was in their 50's or over. Do they see this competition as a game? This is life
or death! Win it or lose it!

 It was my turn to go up on stage for the finals, along with my 2 other competitors.
-One over sized man with a curly dusty beard, in overalls and plastic boots covered in horse gunk.
-The other was an old bloke that had biker gear on and smelled of Marlboro cigarettes.
Rules are simple 5mins to eat 43 chicken wings, whoever eats all or eats the most by the end wins.
Catch is they are very, very spicy.
1,2,3 GO!

I was up devouring them by the second I was in the lead, by one minute my opponent, that smelled of horse plop, gave up.
Just me and you Marlboro guy.
3minutes up, 2 to go, I was wining, I shall be the champion! The force is with me today, as always.
30seconds. I'm going to win 42 down, 1 to go.
Suddenly, I dropped it, like my life dropped before me! Everything froze. 15 seconds. I did not hesitate to grab it, but the problem was it started bobbing across the ground like puppets, it kept going and going, right off stage. Was somebody tricking me? Was this a joke? 5,come on, 4, you can do it,3 what is wrong with this stupid wing , 2,,just about got it, 1!

My life ended.
I turned around, the Marlboro guy finished, he finished! I'm not the Champion! Now I won't be getting my chicken wing eating degree when I'm older. This curse ruined my future, my dreams.
5 minutes later, I was led into the small shack of a police station, and in the position I am in now. As I'm in this chair regretting the last 10 minutes of my life, I realised I never wanted to be a chicken wing champion, deep down I want to be a..... Hot dog eating champion.
