LA Home-Learning assignment

Journal entry according to Detective Jack Noonan's point of view for Lamb to the Slaughter:

It was a rather peaceful day at the police headquarters. Then, out of the blue, the phone rang. It was from Mrs Malony. She was sobbing. That caught my attention immediately. She told me that Patrick Maloney is dead! My heart skipped a beat and I really did not know how to feel. Patrick was a close friend and colleague of mine. I had just watch him leave the building about one hour back and totally did not expect a call like that.

I immediately ruched to the scene, Patrick's house, with O’Malley, also a close friend and colleague of Patrick. Other colleagues like the doctor, police photographers and others that would help with the investigation. I went to check on the body. There was no signs of life. No pulse rate. No breathing. Nothing. He is has really died. I held back my tears. Something tells me that the killer is nearby, near me. However, I doubt the killer would have the courage to stay and see how the investigation goes. I am determined to find the killer and bring him to justice.

Of course, the first person we suspected is none other then Mrs Maloney. We asked her about what happened. Although I suspected that she was the murderer, I eventually gave up that thought. Reasons were that she had always been a good and faithful wife, and she looks really saddened by Patrick's death. We also went to question the clerk at the grocery which Mary had gone to before she called 911. The clerk said that Mary acted normal and was pretty enthusiastic about preparing supper for Patrick as they normally go out for supper on Thursday nights.

Later, Mary had asked us to help her eat up the lamb leg she had prepared for Patrick. We did not want to disappoint her after what had happened. Thus, we did as she said, However, as she walked away behind the wall, I heard her giggle. Was I hearing things or did I really hear her giggle? What had exactly happened to Patrick and who killed him? So many questions to be answered and I guess I should be the one to answer them and avenge Patrick.

'Lamb To The Slaughter' and 'The Way Up to Heaven'

Both stories were written by Roald Dahl and are equally interesting to read.
There are a few similarities between the two stories. Both Mrs Maloney and Mrs Foster were very faithful and loved their own husbands very much. However, the two husbands were killed at the end of the story because of something they did to their wife. It may sound a little weird to you but this makes you want to read the stories because it sounds interesting, am I right?

I personally prefer the story 'The Way Up to Heaven' because of two points. Firstly, Mrs Maloney killed Mr Maloney in a more direct way using a frozen lamb leg while Mrs Foster just left Mr Foster stuck in a lift in their house while she goes away for a 6-week holiday to Paris as if nothing happened. Secondly, in the story, Roald Dahl did not mention that Mr Foster has died. This is indeed very interesting as I have never encountered such a story.

P.S. This is also required in this blog and I will be posting posts like this one from time to time.

Hello!
It has been a while since the previous post. Thus, I shall updated on what I have been doing.

Last Thursday, I had IS test. The test was not difficult but I also cannot say it was easy.

On Friday, we had no lessons! This is because we were celebrating Lunar New Year on that day. There was a concert held at the Kah Kee hall. There were performances like the lion dance , pieces of music by the Chinese Orchestra and also a comedy-like performance by the Chinese Drama. The celebration ended at about 9.30am and everybody was released directly from the hall. After the celebration, I met up with a couple of friends and we went back to our primary school to see our past year teachers, schoolmates and classmates.

On Saturday, my family and I were spring cleaning, preparing for Lunar New Year!
We had our reunion dinner that night and the food was home-cooked! It both healthy and delicious!

On Sunday and Monday, my family and I went around visiting relatives and wishing them a Happy Lunar New Year. On Sunday night, we also went to watch 'Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief' at Golden Village at Marina Square. The movie is very interesting and suggests that if you have not watched it.

On Tuesday, we did not go out. This is because me and my sister had to complete our homework.

Today, we had Math and Composition test today. I really hope the whole class and I would do well in the tests.

Last but not least, I know that I am a few days late but I still like to wish everybody Happy Lunar New Year!

That is all for now!

Cheers,

Hello!
To be honest, there is not much I can say about today because nothing really happened. However, the thing that left me the greatest impression is the picture composition that we did during the 3-periods of LA. The picture was an octopus in a room with its tentacles swinging around and causing destruction to the room.

That's it for now.

Cheers,

Hello everyone!
This is the third post in this blog and its already week 6! Doesnt time pass very fast? *Sigh*
Today, I had AAP, IH, level assembly and Chinese.However, there is something different about today. We went to the Singapore Discovery Centre to learn about Total Defence day.There was a talk about Total Defense and the Civil Defense were also there. They brought some equipment that students could try using like the mist gun which is used to put out fire. We headed back to school at about 5pm and arrived at roughly 5.35pm.

That's it for now.

Cheers,

Its finally February! Should I be happy as Chinese New Year is coming? Or should I sad as its now nearer towards the Final-Year-Examinations? Nah... I'll rather be happy!:)

Okay now about school today. I had Art and Acts of Persuasion(AAP) today and it was the first lesson of the day. Also, I forgot to mention yesterday that my AAP teacher is Miss Lim. In the lesson, the main thing we learnt in class is Paul's Wheel Of Reasoning. The next lesson was Integrated Humanities(IH) and we learnt about Geography. Recess followed afterward and then reading period.Assembly and then Chinese was the last six period.

I stayed back for softball trials but it turned out that the softball team was at a competition. I went home in vain and reached home at about 6.30P.M. and here I am blogging about today.

That's it for now.

Cheers,
