I enjoyed the film because the storyline and plot kept it interesting always capturing my attention. The ending I enjoyed most as it was very unexpected and went well with the plot after he spent 25 years digging through a wall so he could escape.
My favorite character in the film was Red played by Morgan Freeman who also narrated the movie. I really liked his voice it was so calm and easy to listen to and he spoke clearly that made me listen. He was a loyal character who kept his promises and was the wises and knew how to exploit the jail system so he could get things for him and other prisoners for a price of course.
The film has very many different emotions from happiness and sadness for example happiness where Andy the main character got beers for his co-workers in prison and they had a chance to feel like free normal men and sadness where one of the mean in prison kills himself after leaving prison as he cant survive in the outside world.
Overall I think that this film is one of the best films that I have ever seen and I do recommend that others should watch it.

Bored of sickness
I missed the whole first week of term, not because I was on a holiday but by the fact that I was sick. You practically die of boredom missing a whole week, not being able to talk to anyone or play any sport I was even deprived of asking my friends how there holidays were. While I was sick the only thing that I could do was lie on the couch and watch TV. During the week nothing is on only silly repeats or silly soaps that nobody likes so I had to watch my DVDs.
For once I thought that I would actually LOVE to be at school and do work but seen as I couldn’t even walk from one end of my house to another.
But finally know when I was enough I got to join society and man doe it feel good.

The adventures of Danielle and my sydney trip
I have had quiet and exciting holiday. This time while travelling to Sydney I was able to bring a friend. I was extremely excited.
I am quiet used to flying to Sydney it is practically my second home but this plane flight was dreadful. It was one of those really small planes three seats on each side, you felt every little air pocket and there was no room for your legs that I got a cramp.
As we arrived in Sydney we greeted my family. Danielle even got to meet my older sister and nephew who were flying that day back to Duebi.
On Tuesday we went into the centre of the city to the best place to go which Pitt Street mall. It has a four story supre. The shops seem to go on forever and ever making it easy to get lost. But after about an hour we only made it to two shops. Later on that day Dad took us all rock climbing. Danielle and I had to hold each other using the ropes so pretty much our whole lives depended on one another. I made it to the top on a few climbs but only on the small ones. Its not that I am afraid of heights its just the what if. What if my harness breaks or the rope snaps.
On Thursday we went to the one and only Bondi junction. A five floor mall, now that’s what I am talking about. We spent about 3 hours shopping there and made it into three shops. After that we went to my all time fav café Onex. We managed to eat a whole wrap in about 5mins making us feel sick just before we had to leave. Later on that day we went to the bowling alley. The first game dad won but I won the next. We are just a tad bit competitive. So Danielle ended up having a competition with Genevieve my little sister. Gen even managed to bowl the ball let is bounce and get stuck in the gutter between the bumpers. We ended up playing on the arcade games there and I introduced Danielle to my child hood favorite game. When the crocs come out you whack them with a batten. I played the basketball shot game. So did Gen who couldn’t even get the ball into the cage.
Later on that night we all went to see the opening at the local cinema for the movie Mamma Mia which I must say if an awesome movie apart from the fact that pierce Brosmen sings, ew it was just too weird.
Friday was one of the best days. More shopping. And then lunch in Darling Harbour. I choose the restaurant and I was applauded for my good pick of a Thai restaurant. We took a few photos there and then went home to get ready for the NRL.
It was so cold that night I had 5 layers on, a scarf and a beanie and it was still kind of chill.
The NRL was really exciting it was the roosters playing the titans. We were in the roosters stand with everyone wearing the roosters scarf’s and jackets. During the game the titans started to lead the game. Within the stand there was always a random titans support. One man tried to throw beer at a supporter missing and hitting everyone around him. Behind me and Danielle there were a bunch of twenty something guys getting drunk and yelling the most pathetic and lame as insults towards the titans. “good on ya jetstar” or “go fly on jetstar” errr they were lame they were even saying things like that wouldn’t happen if it was union, well can I tell you something mate it isn’t union. I don’t think I would have liked to be the referee he was swore at, booed at and had to be helped out of the stadium by the police as the roosters supporters were blaming him for there loss. But Danielle and I were secretly cheering for the titans. But the whole night was a fun experience.
On Sunday dad took me and Danielle to the IMAX theater. It was unbelievable. We saw dolphins and whales in 3D. they were literally swimming towards your face. When the movie was over we went over to china town where we took photos in the Asian photo booths before we then went into the markets and bought a few shirts.
Earlier that day we went out for breakfast at Bondi beach and then to the markets where we bought some cool as necklaces.
The following day we went and stayed at my Granddads where I bought myself a few DVD movies. And my family came over for dinner. Then we went over the my uncles and played a few games and played with the dog before we went back to my dads. There was abit of a mix up for where we were meant to meet but luckily I got my ball shoes.
When it was time to leave I needed another bag as I had just a few more things then what I came with. But dad was very kind and gave me a phone. It is so incredibly cool and is the best phone I have ever laid my eyes on.
The plane ride back was almost empty but the guy sitting two rows behind us had an allergic reaction to some of the food which we both didn’t eat as it looked gross. But when the flight landed the paramedics had to come on before we were aloud to leave.
The holiday all and all was really fun but it was nice to be home to see my mum and sleep in my own bed.

Essay-rising cost affecting teenagers
The rising cost of living is affecting the teenagers today. Because of the rising costs students struggle with independence, teenagers are unable to afford luxuries or socials outings and the cost of school and the costs of sporting and schoolings become unplayable.
Everybody wants independence whether you are a young adult or and eighty year old man. When a teenager becomes mentally old enough to leave home the rising costs make this hard to do so. The price of food has increased so much that to buy just the necessary food like bread, cheese and milk and cost you up to around twenty dollars, which is barely a meal.
The price of living in a home by yourself is horrific. To run a household a person must play for the increase in taxes, rising food bills and the even more expensive, the electricity bill.
So therefore when I teenager finally wants to break free and live in freedom they are unable to do so.
Teenagers have to work long hard hours because of minimum wage. For a student to now buy a one scoop piece of ice-cream it shall cost around $3 so they then have to choose an ice block at the corner dairy. The rising prices are making an everyday social life a lot more expensive. Even the local pool has gone up in price. To pay for a social life people will have to work longer hours, which may not be available and this could be a problem if the teenagers are at university or high school.
Do you want and education? Most will say yes. Because of the amount everyone is spending on their bills less money is being spent towards schools. Therefore this is making the schools and education be put last. The costs of playing at a sports centre has gone up to match the economy’s prices. Without sports New Zealand will have less healthy teenagers and obesity will become an even bigger issue.
All the rising prices are affecting the youth. When will these increases in prices stop or will they continue to rise to so that only the wealthy can do as they please. The rising prices does not benefit anyone else but those who are selling or advertising it. The Government should stop this to help our teenagers.

The battle at laser force
Pitch black. Flashing lights. I crouch low to the ground trying not to be seen or heard. I see people running. Everyone is fighting for there lives. People are getting shot. My laser gun remains close to my chest. I lay low shooting the red team. Unable to see me they wonder who has committed this crime. I get bored of not moving. I come out from my little hide away and begin to run. I stand back up against the wall. I do some Charlie’s angels poses and roll along the ground shooting the enemy.
The whispers come from my suit telling me I am in first place. A smirk appears on my face as once again I shall be victorious and win the battle. Then I’m shot. I run and duck behind a wall waiting till I am reborn.
I run to their base all angry for who would shoot the almighty Naganata. Rage over takes me. I attack their base not keeping any survivors. But I was going in alone, which was not safe. I was out numbered. I ran away sprinting while I was being shot at. I find a fellow team mate called Ice Man. We join together thinking for our safety for we shall then come out on top.
The massive spider lurches behind us. It shoots Ice Man, Ice Man is down. Blood rushes to my head full of angry. I shoot the spider killing it.
Supernova my own flesh and blood begins shooting at me. Traitor, I yell. I look Ice Man in the eye and we knew what had to be done. We turn the corner and fire shoots till my brother is it dead.
After ten minutes of dangerous battle I come out on top. This was predicted from all. I am the laser force champion. I had killed my own brother thirteen times but he needed to be taught were his loyalties should lie.

Superpowers
Every child has dreamed of having some sort of super power but the questions is which super hero power do you want.
Do you want to have be able to fly and have amazing strength like superman. You could have the abilities of a spider like Spiderman or maybe you might consider the superpowers of say a mutant of being able to run through walls or create storms at any time.
Personally I would rather be able to pick a power whenever I felt the need to use it.
Here are a few things I would use superpowers for:
-Instead of getting stuck in traffic I would just fly places
-I could just teleport to what every country I wanted to and then when I get tired I would just teleport myself home every night.
-I could read minds for a laugh to see how some people actually think.
-Oh and I would use superpowers for world peace. I kind of have to say that.
-I would use time travel to go back in time and redo things
-I wish I had the powers to just zap anything in front of me from a new car to pie.
I could think of a million more reasons but then the list would be never ending and you would be wishing that you had powers to make the list shorter or disappear.
