(2) Do you think it’s important to have good friends?Yes, I think it is very important to have friends, especially good friends. Because they would respect you be loyal to you and be nice to you and everybody needs that kind of respect.3) Why is Fox described as a ‘flickering tongue of fire’? What does this tell us about the effect he will have on Dog and Magpie.Maybe it means he is a danger to them. That he is evil and they should beware.4) Think of five words that describe Dog, Fox and Magpie.Dog- Courageous, Trustworthy, Brave, Friendly, FunFox- Manipulative, Sneaky, Fast, Lonely, Evil.Magpie- Gullible, Hurt, Thrill-seeking, Traitor, Alone.5) Magpie feels that Fox’s smell fills up the cave. She isn’t really describing his smell, but how she makes him feel. What does this tell you about how she feels about Fox?She feels uncomfortable, unsafe with Fox around mostly because he kept staring at her wing. She feels that Fox is untrustworthy.6) Why do you think Fox splits up Dog and Magpie? Would he have done this if he had more friends of his own?If he had more friends he never would have met Dog and Magpie and if he did he would be happy nad be friendly with them and not split them up.7) Why would Fox’s scream be a scream of despair? Why would it be one of triumph?Maybe it was a scream of triumph because he accomplished spliting Magpie and Dog up.
Do you think Magpie was really good friends with Dog? Why/why not?Magpie was good friends with Dog because even though she betrayed him she still tried to find him even though she didn’t know where she was.

I was running in hot ashes through the charred forest. I found a bird and had her in my mouth. I held her quite gently. I took her to my shady cave above the river; I put her down and tried to mend her burnt wing. But she didn’t want my help.

“I will never again be able to fly.” She said to me.

“I know,” I didn’t say anything for a bit but then I told her, “I am blind in one eye, but life is still good.”

“An eye is nothing!” she said, angrily “How would you feel if you couldn’t run?” I didn’t answer. Magpie dragged her body away from me into the shadows of my den. It felt like she was melting into the blackness. Days, maybe a week later, magpie woke with a look of grief on her face. I was waiting for her. I tried to persuade her into going with me to the riverbank.

“Hop on my back” I told her “Look into the water and tell me what you see.”

She sighed, but she looked into the water. In the reflection of the water we saw the clouds and skies and trees, and something else.

“I see a strange new creature!” she said oddly.

“That is us,” I told her with sarcasm, “Now hold on tight!” Magpie was clinging to my back, which kind of hurt but I didn’t mind. I raced through the scrubs and I zoomed past the stringy barks, past the clumps of yellow box trees, and into blueness. I ran so swiftly that it felt like I was flying. Magpie felt the wind streaming through her feathers, I look at her face and she is rejoicing. Then she says excitingly “FLY DOG, FLY!!! I will be your missing eye, and you will be my wings.” And so I run, with Magpie on my back, every day, through the hot, and through the freezing cold winter.

After the rains, when saplings are springing up everywhere, Magpie began to tremble for some reason. Then I see a Fox.

“Welcome,” I say to him, “We can offer you food and shelter.” But Magpie looked scared but I wasn’t worried.

“Thank you,” says Fox. “I saw you running this morning. You looked extraordinary.” I was happy with our new friend but Magpie seemed to shrink away. I saw Fox staring at Magpies burnt wing.

In the evenings, when the air is creamy with blossom, Magpie and I relaxed at the mouth of my cave, I was enjoying her company. Now and again Fox would join the conversation, but the whole time Fox was watching her. Magpie was warning me about Fox.

She said “He belongs nowhere, he loves no one.” I was thinking why is she being like this.

“He’s alright. Let him be.”

When I woke up Magpie and Fox was gone. I went to the river and found Fox drinking. I asked, “Where is Magpie?” Fox didn’t reply. I attempted again, “WHERE IS MAGPIE?!?!” He stopped drinking and said to me with hatred in his eyes

“Now you know what it’s really like to be alone. She is somewhere in the desert. That’s all I will tell you.” He turned around and walked off. I ran as fast as I could until I got to the desert. For a minute or two I walked slowly while looking around to see I  could find her but there was no hope. It was a lot harder because I only have one eye. I was about to turn around and head back but then I saw this little black figure walking towards me. I ran to the figure as fast as I could and it was Magpie! I put her on my back and tld me about it on the way home. I was so happy to see her.

THE END!!!

 Write a short piece on your blog, explaining what “friendship” means to you. Who has been a good friend to you? When have you been a good friend to someone else? What does it mean to be a “good friend” to someone?

Friendship means, to be friendly and kind to one another. It also means you have to respect them and be loyal to them.  Lots of People have been good friends to me. A couple are Tegan, Ashley, Jack (Shiels, Smith, Frazer), Dannii, Andrew D and F and lots of others. I have been a good friend to someone else today. I gave him 2 dolllars because he left his lunch money at home. Being a ‘good friend’ to someone is important. It means that you can share a FRIENDSHIP with them for the rest of your lives.

Describe a character: What does he/she look like?

Charlie Bucket has brown hair, a little pointy nose, and a slightly torn blue jacket, blue trackers with a light blue patch, brown shoes and white shin high socks.

Where does your character live?

Charlie Bucket lives a little house on the edge of a great town with his whole family – six grown-ups and him.

What do they want in the book?

Willy Wonka, the owner of the biggest and most famous Chocolate Factory in the world, gave a chance to five lucky children to come inside his chocolate factory if, they find a golden ticket in one of his chocolate bars. Charlie wanted a golden ticket so bad because he could provide his poor, hunger stricken family the food they need. And that is what Charlie wants in the book.

Are we supposed to like the character?

I reckon your supposed to like Charlie, he’s a pretty good and well-mannered kid.

Do I like him?

Yes

Why?

Because he’d be a likable kid if he was real, he’s nice, has manners and has a nice family.

In the last book Charlie Bucket was very poor and lived with Mrs Bucket (Mum), Mr Bucket (Dad), Grandpa Joe, Grandma Josephine, Grandpa George and Grandma Georgina. One day Charlie was walking home from school and in the gutter he found fifty pence. So he went to the closest store and bought a Whipple-Scrumptious Fugdemallow Delight. He loved it so much that he bought another and inside he found the LAST GOLDEN TICKET!!! He took Grandpa Joe to the factory and survived through it and won the factory. Now I will tell you the things that happened after that. Here it is…One very sad morning all four grandparents died of a triple bypass heart-attack and the doctor said it was because of to much chocolate. They buried them in a chocolate grave. Charlie said they would have wanted that. The next day Charlie shipped out for the first time ever the everlasting gobstoppers. But Charlie changed the mixture a bit so that they would last at most a week, so that people would buy more. The everlasting gobstoppers were a hit and the other lolly makers were jealous. So all of them teamed up and flew to
Baghdad to find Osama Bin Laden. They found him and planned to nuke the chocolate factory. Meanwhile… at the factory Charlie was onto the other lolly makers asking Osama to nuke him, so he flew to
Washington D.C. and asked George Bush to nuke Osama first. Long story short, Osama nuked the factory and Charlie and family died and then Osama died because of George Bush. Just Kidding!!! George Bush nuked Osama and the other lolly makers first and Charlie, Mr Bucket and Mrs Bucket lived very happily ever after.
