Letter to Ken Catran

Dear Ken Catran,

Hi, I’m Inderpreet a student in a class (Room 16 Parkvale School, Hastings New Zealand) that previously read your awesome book “Dead Harry”. The book was great and here’s what I thought of it.

I just thought the book was so amazing, I just wanted to keep reading the story but we only got to read one chapter per day. I loved the book and it was so cool I listened to basically every work. There were some really incredible and emotional moments in the book. The whole class thought your book was incredible, so we made some trailers (my one is the first one), our teacher 

(Mr. Moriarty) put them on the “Tree Of PRIDE” (our blog) and he put a poll on which “Dead Harry” trailer is the best, vote if you want. Here is the link.  

My favourite character was probably Sam... Maybe Harry... But I liked Sam as a character because he was quite funny, same with Harry. They were pretty awesome, and I might be the first one to say that Elias Milton was actually a cool dude. All the characters were great but Sam was my favourite.

My favourite part in the book was the end. You described every moment so well and I thought the end was so cool. How Sam and Anna saw a black figure at the back of the library holding a gun. and saw that it was Mrs. Anson! It got so intense just a few moments later when Sam and Anna got locked in the cupboard to get burned alive, I knew they were going to survive but just like everybody, I didn’t know how. You are a great writer Ken Catran, amazing ideas, you painted a picture in my mind at every moment.  

In conclusion, you wrote an awesome book, and I was amazed by the story. It was great enough to make several trailers and I hope you make a sequel.

Yours Sincerely,

Inderpreet.

Here is my groups trailer. I hope you like and vote up on the Tree Of PRIDE, the poll closes on the 25th of August.

Writing Trial "An Empty Room"

I was selected as one of the writers for a writing trial in my school, Here is one of my stories. I hope you like it and please comment :-).                        

Dear Mr. Principal
I hear there is an empty room in the school that's not being used at all. So here's some idea's to help you. Because my opinion is the room should be spectacular, because this school needs it. Right now, there is not much great stuff about the school, and it might be a tourist attraction after school if you put anything awesome in there. If it's a room where you can have fun, other students would want to join our school.

Firstly, having something fun or cool in the room would be noticed by other school's, and some students might come from other school's and join ours because of what ever is going to be in that room. I think this is a pretty good idea because if more kids join our school, parents would think there is something special about this school and those parents would want to put their kids in the school so the school's population would get even bigger! Think of the possibilities, if the school gets that much kids, we might get an award for "most kids in a school,".

Secondly, if you don't like that idea, how about putting something amazing. Anything amazing would be a good tourist attraction, our school will be noticed around the globe. I believe this is a great idea because our school will be so famous around the globe. Anyone from anywhere would come to see our school. Can you just imagine that, and you will be responsible for the whole thing (I am saying that in a good way). Everyone will drive past or walk past, even run past you and say "Hey you are that guy who owns that cool school,".

Lastly, How about putting both idea's into one idea. Anything fun AND amazing is an awesome idea in my opinion. Having tourist AND more kids from anywhere will be a huge success for the school. It will also bring more money so we can have fun stuff like more camps, maybe sossage sizzles, TWO fun runs in a year, 1 book fair every year. This school will be able to pull of so many possible things.

In conclusion, one room can be the key to the school's success. We could pull of 2 fun runs in a year, more sossage sizzles, 1 book fair each year, and even more camps. So please listen to what I have just said. I know you will make the right decision because you made the right decision not to eliminate morning interval, and if I was right about morning interval, then I'm right about this.
