==Task 3-Short Story based on an every day object == It all started with a doll. It was a normal day in a small place called Hamilton. Until something extraordinary happened to one little girl’s doll. Very extraordinary. A little girl called Jessica was playing with her dolls in her room. When she got up to ask her mother when lunch was, her doll stood up and followed her to her mother. Jessica turned around and saw it with her bare eyes. Her mother and her just stood there gobsmacked looking at the doll. The doll just stood there staring back at them. Her mother quickly picked up the phone and rung her husband, who had thought his wife was going mad until he saw for himself. He saw it, cut it into many pieces, then took it to the dump. The family went home and tried to relax themselves. A couple of days later Jessica’s mother was taking the rubbish out. She turned around to see that the doll had come back in scraps and it was ripping up the garden and that just really annoyed Jessica’s mum. She picked up the spade and whacked the doll until it stopped talking and its head spun right off its neck.

Reading Task 4
It was a sunny morning in New Zealand’s capital, Wellington. The concert of a known singer, Willie Nelson was coming to Westpac Stadium. Every one was getting ready to queue up outside the doors of the Concert. One boy, James was secretly going to go to the concert without his parents’ permission. He told them that he was staying at his mate, Jimmy’s house, but there was no way going to his mate’s house. James had bought one of the first tickets online and had hid the ticket under his clothes in his drawer. He had been waiting for a long time for this moment. He had packed a bag of clothes and money to fool his mum into thinking he was going to his mates for the night. He started to walk in the direction of his mate’s house until his mum went inside and he turned off to head to Westpac Stadium. He got there and met up with his friends to see Willie. He waited anxiously for the singer to come out. At last he appeared on stage and the crowd went wild. He first song was the loudest and the crowd were struggling to hear each other yelling. James and his friends were invited back stage and get signed gear from the band because they got spotted on the camera. They went backstage and got the signed memorabilia. James was trying to play the guitar like the professionals and he was spinning around and round until BANG. His face collided with the drum set and the sound of the drums crashing to the ground and breaking filled the stadium. The crowd soon turned to a mob and turned against James. James tried to run but the crowd came from every angle to raid him. Unluckily enough the concert was being videoed and this was all on screen. James’ mum was sitting there watching her son terrorise this famous band’s concert, without even knowing that he was there. She went straight to the car and drove to Westpac Stadium. She paid the band the replacement for the drums. She took James home and gave him a big telling off. His punishment was the worst any kid could do, the dishes for the rest of the year. The bad thing about this was it was only the start of the year. Near the end of the year James had made a routine for washing and drying the dishes. By the last night James was doing tricks to try and finish early, but this night he went too far and lost his coordination and was dropping everything every where, as always smashing the plates and cups. As for the ones that didn’t smash had gotten dirty again so he had to wash them. Of course his mum had another mental at him, and he ended up having to pay for all of the new dinner sets. He had enjoyed his life until this part because he was broke.
