Interesting Facts

The interestingest fact for this book was that going on a trip was to explore, make new friendship, and most importantly exploring is lonely when you are by yourself, it can also be scary, without a friend or someone beside you. It stood out for me from the conclusion he/the explorer made it was a really good ending and talked about how it was to go around the NZ coastline and what he learned throughout this trip.

Summary

Who : The boy/explorer

What : He was going on a trip around the coastline of NZ.

When : When he was 19 years old it took him 600 days, started on the first of February 2013.

Where : Around the coastline of NZ North and South Islands

Why : Because he wanted to challenge himself and turn his life around to make it better.

The Wild Deer Debate book review, By Sophie

For literacy, we have been reading a few books.We had to write book reviews and I read the Wild Deer Debate by Ian Trafford.

This book is about a debate on a deer. One of the sides believe that they should control deers because they ruin the environment. They also eat some of our native plants.The other side believes that deer should be kept. They hunt the deer and believe it is fun and they think hunting will save money. I think both sides have a point. True, deer do eat a lot of our native plants which is sad but hunting deer is a important to some people. I think they should leave the deer but place them in specific spots where there are no precious plants, but you need to read the book yourself to make your own opinion.

Poylenisia Book Review By Dylan K

Austen's prompting book report.

Diary of a wild boy: Written by Brando Yelavich.

This was a story about a boy, he was not just any he was a boy who had boring jobs and really unhealthy habits. It was leading him nowhere. At 19 years old, he decided he was going to walk round the entire coast of New Zealand. He decided he was going to because he was on drugs and smoking weed. He did it because he wanted to change his life. On 1 February 2012 he set off from the top of the north island. He had a tent, air rifle, knife and a few other things for his journey. It would take about 600 days for him to go round the whole island. Along the way we would face challenges, hardship, pain and Joy as he was the first person to walk round the entire coast. Sometimes he just wanted to give up other times he wished he had not done it in the first place he also felt very lonely. Either way He still pushed on and was determined to finish. He learnt the true ways of a survivor, an adventurer and lived of the land. It was an interesting book showing a lot of great determination and courage.
