Dtories from the Five Towns

My mother never came to meet me at Bursley station when I arrived in the Five Towns from London. She always had other things to do; she was getting ready for me. So I always walked alone up Trafalgar Road, between the factories and past the football field. Arnold Bennett is famous for his stories about the Five Town and the people who live there. They look and sound just like other people, and, like all of us, sometimes they do some very strange things. There's Sir Jee, who is a rich businessman.  They are not famous or important people. They work in shops and factories; they are clever and successful, and sometimes they do very stupid things. Philip has some important news to tell his mother, but portrait, but he is also going to get a big suprise. Arnold, Bennett. (2000).  Dtories from the Five Towns . Oxford University Press.

Grace Darking

Daniel Donovan was a passenger on the Forfarshire. He stood on the deck of the ship, and looked at the sea. It was difficult to stand on the desk, because the wind was so strong.  All they could hear was the wind, and the waves crashing on to the rocks. All they could see was the night. They could not see the ship, broken in two. They could not see the people holding on to the dark wet rock, slowly dying of cold. And they could not hear the cries for help- only the wind.  The Forfarshire was wrecked off the north-east coast of England in 1838. This is the true story of Grace Darling- a girl who became a famous heroine on that stormy night. Tim, Vicary. (2000).  Grace Darking. Oxford University Press

Mutiny on the Bounty

It was a cold day in December, 1787. There aes a strong wind and a green sea. Three men and a boy on the deck of the littele ship, HMB Bounty. Behind them, on the land, were some hills and small white houses.  Two handred years ago life on a sailing ship was not easy. You ate hard bread and bad meat. You worked night and day, often cold and wet and hungry. You saw no land for manths and months. There were dangerous storms and many accidents; some ship never came home again.  In 1787 HMS Bounty leaves England and sail halfway round the world to Tahiti in the south seas. The captain of the ship is William Bligh, and his First Officer is Fletcher Christian. The Bounty is not a happy ship. Bligh is a hard man, and his officers and his men do not like him.  Tim, Vicary.

White Death

 The woman stood in front of the prison. The prison was a big, dirty building in the biggest town of a hot country. The woman was very hot, and she did not like the noise from all the cers in the road.  Heroin kills. But before it kills, heroin changes people. It changes your friend into your enemy; it changes someone you live into a stranger. Heroin kills the body- but first it kills the heart.  Anna Harland thinks that she knows her daughter, Sarah. She knows that Sarah is in love- with a stranger.   Heroin is the White Death. And, if it can, the White Death is going to kill them all. Tim, Vicary. (2000).  White Death. Oxford University Press.

The President's Murderer

Over the man's head the night sky was black and cold, and in front of him were the trees. Tall, dark trees... five hundred mertres away.  Felix is a good policeman, and the Chief of Police wants him to find a murderer. A very important murderer- the man who murdered the President. Flix must find the murdere quickly and bring him back- dead or alive. He works day and night, drives up and down the country, and ask a lot of questions.  But some question can be dangerous. It is better not to know the answers. And dead men, of corce, cannot ask, or answer, question. Jennifer, Bassett. (2000).  The President's Murderer. Oxford University Press.

The Coldest Place on Earth

On the Terra Nova, Captain Roberr Falcon Scott smiled quietly. It was a very important day for him. He was a strong man, not very tall, in the blue clothes of a captain. In the summer of 1910, a race began. A race to be the first man at the South pole, in Antarctica. Robert Falcon Scott, an Englishman, left London in his ship, the Terra Nova, and began the long journey south. Five days later, another ship also began to travel south. And on this ship was Roald Amundsen, a Norwegian. But Antarctica is the coldest place on earth, and it is a long, hard journey over the ice to the South Pole. Some of the travellers never returned to their homes again. This is the story of Scott and Amundsen, and of one of the most famous and dangerous races in history.
