The Monkey’s Paw

Chorus

It’s a tale from the past

a curse that i’ll never last

the monkey’s paw is a curse in disguise

Wishing for a bunch of lies

Making the parents cry

Shouldn’t this be a crime

Verse 1

They needed some good pay

But next week Herbert got slayed

Later they wished to bring him back

but the son was not the same 

The dad used the third wish to take him back to his grave

before the paw would either take another soul away

Chorus

It’s a tale from the past

a curse that i’ll never last

the monkey’s paw is a curse in disguise

Wishing for a bunch of lies

Making the parents cry

Shouldn’t this be a crime x2

Verse 2

If the son came back in time

Could he even sing or rhyme

He went straight out of his grave

The parents want him to pray

The paw that the sergeant brought

Was a old and grumpy foot

Should the dad throw it in and then let the monkey’s paw cook

Chorus

It’s a tale from the past

a curse that i’ll never last

the monkey’s paw is a curse in disguise

Wishing for a bunch of lies

Making the parents cry

Shouldn’t this be a crime x2

Hello everyone! Today me and my buds have released a brand new song fresh out of the oven. It’s called The Monkey’s Paw and the songs meaning is based on the story with the same name. It put it simple. It’s about a family who received a white paw from their sergeant that fought in India. The paw would give three wished but would also give out punishments as soft of like karma. Also the slides to the story is below this task description so I hope you enjoy the song and the slides too!

The Car – Response to text

Here is a text I read last week. It’s called the car and I think it’s one of those texts I liked. It’s about a guy who bought a red car and took it to her girlfriend where they later commute to a club using that red car. That was until someone had stolen their car. And there’s plot twist at the end that I won’t spoil so I hope you enjoy!!

A Different Audience

Hello again! Today at literacy, we are learning to identify and write advertisements for different audiences. What is that you might ask, well some adverts know appeal to other audiences, for example someone who liked cars wouldn’t be interested in a gaming advert because they would want to know more about cars. For that couple of slides, I created 3 different posters based in milk, can you guess which milk advert is for which age group? You choices are: Young children, teenagers or young 20s and adults!

I hope you enjoy!!

Man from the South – Book Trailer

Hello everybody!! This right here is my book trailer for the Man from the South text by Roald Dahl. I won’t really tell much about the story because all of the information is in the book trailer. If you don’t know what a book trailer is, it’s basically a video that tells people about what story they read as well as making other people read the story. I hope you enjoy my book trailer!

Glass boy Collage

This is a digital collage based on the book “The Glass Boy”. It’s about a young boy who was taken in by a rich glass maker. The young boy was called a sewer rat because his family was poor. This was until the glass maker got poisoned. So to make it up for the rich glass maker, he made a glass sculpture and sent it to the doge, where the doge liked it. This book it about respecting others even when they are not the most presentable.

Boy at the Back of the Class – Novel Study (Chapter 13-19)

For the past couple of weeks, we have been doing a novel study on the book called “boy at the back of the class” by Onjali Q Raũe. It’s about a refugee kid who came to a British school, full of kids that someone new would of never seen before. But the narrator wanted to be the refugee kid’s friend, but the narrator wanted to find out a little more about this kid.

This is for chapter 13-19. This might be my favourite part of the story, how they wanna help Ahmet by asking the queen, but I won’t say anything else otherwise i’m going to spoil it!

Boy at the Back of the Class – Novel Study (Chapter 7-12)

For the past couple of weeks, we have been doing a novel study on the book called “boy at the back of the class” by Onjali Q Raũe. It’s about a refugee kid who came to a British school, full of kids that someone new would of never seen before. But the narrator wanted to be the refugee kid’s friend, but the narrator wanted to find out a little more about this kid.

This is for chapter 7-12. This is where we can really start to understand the refugee kid well. I find these slides particularly easy. I like this part of the story because of the encounter between the refugee kid who’s name is Ahmet, and the bully of the class; Brendan the bully.
