Fast track

June 23, 2016 / / 0 Comments

In my opinion I think that fast track should not be allowed. The reasons why will be said in later paragraphs. 

My first reason why is because it is not fair for all of the people that might not be able to afford fast track. If they want to buy someone a present for their kids, girlfriend or boyfriend then it would be hard for them to buy fast track. It could be expensive depending on the ride.

My second reason is because people sometimes stand in the line for nearly an hour or maybe more. When people come past with fast track it can frustrate people. Some people may realise that you have to wait in queues and understand that when you pay for fast track that is not fair on others.

My third reason is because fast track is like cheating in a sport. For example. When you are a runner in the Olympics and you pay for steroids that put you infront of people, it is like the same as paying for fast track because it puts you infront of people in the line.

The conclusion for this piece is that I think that paying for fast track is wrong. I also think that paying for fast track is unfair to all the people that have been waiting in the line for over an hour.

3,2,1,run

On a late winters day in Milton Keynes,on a Friday night, it was dark and the MKB was running through the shopping centre. The four boys Bob, Jim, Gary and the big man ‘h’, ran into a shop and hid from the security. The MKB knew they had to get out so they separated and made a plan to meet at the bus stop.

When MKB got off the bus they knew they was going to pass the four boys that they absolutely hated, so the clenched their fists and prepared themselves for something bad to happen. When the MKB heard the four boys that they hated, the leader H  said to everyone

“OI shut up now!, we are going to make these melts run.”

So the leader H said

“Bob you come with me and you two go round the other way.”

H and Bob crept up behind the other four boys, they was going to have a nice surprise in a minute. H and Bob waited for Jim and Gary in front of the four boys as a distraction. As Jim and Gary walked past the four boys, one of them noticed Jim and Gary and said to the others 

“OI, look it’s two of them MKB lot ,lets get him!”, as the four boys went to chase them H said from behind them with a bat in his hand 

” where you going mate?”the four boys turned around and saw H holding a bat and Bob holding a plank of wood and ran without thinking or blinking. When the MKB had met back up they was all crying with laughter about how quick they ran away from Bob and H. 

One day at the lake one of the boys from the four boys that MKB absolutely hated was walking by the tunel and was heading there. As the boy was going into the tunel H saw hime and said, 

“oi boys theres one of them melts from the park.” 

“Oh yeah,” replied Bob. 

So what H done was make Jim and Bob go round the other side of the tunel. The boy dmsay Bob and Jim, he turned round not looking for trouble. He turned to walk out the other side, but H and Gary were already there already there.

” oh hello there mate, going somewhere?” Said H.

“Whats that got to do with you?” Replied the boy.

“Whos he talking to boys?” Said H looking behind him sarcastically.

“Im talking to you, now let me past!”

“Where you going? Why should i let you past?”

” im not going no where, why do you want to know?”

“Well you must be going somewhere, if you want me to let you through?”

” im going home, so let me past now!”

” Where’s your home?, have to make sure otherwise you would be lying to my face.”

” Im going home alright, so let me through!”

” What should i do boys?, should i let him through?” Said H to his boys.

“Thats a tough decision H, but i think we should keep him with is incase he snakes” said Bob.

H went into he inside pocket of his coat reaching to pull something out. The boy was getting scared, he thought he was going to get hurt.

“Good choice Bob, right come here you are coming with us, boys lets go.”

All of them walked off, then MKB took the boy back to their hideout.

“What do we do with him now H?”

“Well we are going with us until his boys clme to get him,” but nobody knows where the boy is.

“How long are we going to keep him here for H?” Said Gary.

“As long as it takes,”said H.

“But nobody knows he’s here.”

“oh well” said h

“but it’s getting late and it looks like no one is turning up.”

“what should we do boys, should we let him go?”

“well if no one is coming then we might aswell cut fam.”

“exactly H we might aswell cut ‘g’, we all need to be home.”

“Go on then p*** off, im letting go, run. Make sure we never catch you slacking again!”

H and the boys all walked off laughing, while the boy walked off sopping.

 

the rise and fall of Julius Caesar

November 8, 2015 / / 0 Comments

my question is what is the significance of Caesar’s “north star” speech in the capitol? how did this speech make you feel about Caesar? the conspirators?

“I could be well moved if I were as you. if I could pray to move, prayers would move me. but I am as constant as the northern star, of whose true fixed and resting quality there is no fellow in the firmament. the skies are painted with unnumbered sparks; they are all fire, and everyone doth shine; but there’s but one in all doth hold his place.”

these lines comes from Caesar’s speech in act 3, scene 1, just before his assassination. The conspirators have come to Caesar in the senate under the pretence of pleading for amnesty for Metullius’s banished brother, Publius Cimber. Caesar replies that he will adhere his word and not change his earlier decision. Comparing himself to the north star, Caesar boasts his constancy, his commitment to the law, and his refusal waver under any persuasion. This comparison implies more than steadfastness, however: the north star is the star by which sailors have navigated since ancient times, the star that guides them in their voyages, just as Caesar leads the Roman people. so, too, is the north star unique in its fixedness; as the only star that never changes it’s position in the sky, it has “no fellow in the firmament.” Thus, Caesar also implies that he is peerless among Romans. Caesar declares that he alone remains “unassaliable” among men, and his strictness in Publius Cimber’s case illustrates this virtue.
