Boy at the Back of the Class – Novel Study (Chapter 1-6)

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 1-6. This is the beginning of the story, where we get to be introduced to the characters, and this refugee kid as he took the empty chair at the back of the class. Now I wouldn’t write much since it’s only the beginning. So I really am interested in this story.

20 Minute City Writing

 

Title A 20 Minute City
Introduction A 20 minute city is a concept of commuting to different facilities in under 20 minutes, hence the name “20 minute cities”. It would be quicker and better than a normal city. A 20 minute city would have everything from supermarkets, hospitals, parks and recreation, education and even public transport, all in the span of 15-20 minutes. There are many benefits of living in a 20 minute city.
Information

1st element

 The first benefit is travel. Since public facilities will be within reach in 20 minutes, it’s faster to travel since you don’t need to travel anywhere else but the suburb that you live in. For example, if you are trying to go to the dairy in a normal city, travel times would take around 5-15 minutes. But thanks to the amazing concept of a 20 minute city, travel times get sliced into a good 3-10 minutes. In fact, some residents can walk there in just a couple minutes.

2nd element

 My second benefit is emissions and money which is in relation to the first benefit. Since commuting is way closer, you would save petrol, which would lower emissions in a 20 minute city, rather than increasing emissions by traffic jams on the motorway. Saving petrol would also save money, and even your mental health, let me explain.

Since there wouldn’t be as much traffic, you would have good mental health because you won’t have to show your misery in your regular rush hour traffic. But a 20 minute city would be close enough to take a bus or even walk to work.

3rd element

 My third and final benefit is mental health. Since there would be lower emissions, active commuting and with the editions of greenspace and parks and traffic jams. Quality air would be a big reason.
Conclusion So those were benefits to a 20 minute city. Travel, saving money and mental health. This topic was very interesting and I hope that this idea goes forward into countries. In fact cities like Paris, Barcelona and even New York.
