Poem

Hi guys! Im going to answer a few questions about the poem, '2 mothers in a h d b playground'.
1. What expectations do parents have for you?
My parents are same as all other parents; they expect me to do well in my studies and exams. They often say that if my results are good, I will be able to lead a good life in future and I would be able to provide myself with the best. My parents also expect to respect others; this is because if I respect others, people will respect me too.
2. What expectations as Singaporeans would you have for your children?
As Singaporeans, I expect my children to do well in their studies so as to bring himself pride while facing other parents and earning more money in future to live better. Singapore parents often like to ask about results when meeting with others’ child; hence if my child has good results, he will be respected. I would also expect him to be able to communicate with others well as if he is able to communicate well with others, he will gain respect.
3. Would the expectations of the two generations differ?
I do not think so. This is because both generations of parents want their children to be good and able to lead a good life when they grow up. Another reason is that the second generation is taught by the first generation; hence the second generation would most likely follow what is being taught to them.

Book Review

Hi everyone, its me! I have read a book called "The Edge Chronicles: StormChaser" and like to write a review about it.
The story is about a young boy, named Twig, whos father, Cloud Wolf, is a Sky Pirate. He discovered that his father was once a brave stormchaser and academic of the town, Santaphrax, until a villain named Vilnix Pompolnius discovered the secret of stormphrax, a crystal which prevents the city from floating away. Stormphrax is only available when Stormchasers chase the storm to the twilight woods and the storm strikes its mightiest bolt into the twilight woods. Stormphrax can be crafted to form Phraxdust, a dust which could turn the most dirty pile of water to crystal clear water.
Although Twig is working on his father's sky pirate ship, Stormchaser, his father never told the crews that Twig is his son, in fact he treated Twig more harshly then any crew mwmber. Even though Twig knew that his father did this in order to protect him from danger, he is still angry with his father some times.
One day, the academic of Santaphrax came to find his father and propose him to go on a quest in search of Stormphrax in order to save the falling city from the most high academene, Vilnix Pompolnius hands. However, Cloud Wolf just would not let Twig go with him, he was worried about Twig's safety as it is a very dangerous task in which no one had ever succeeded in. Twig had no choice but to stay in the tavern, drinking his soda while tears roll down his cheeks. Then, he felt a tap on his shoulder, the quartermaster of the ship had came to find him. He said that he would help Twig fulfil his dream of storm chasing by smuggling him into the sky ship. Twig aggreed. However when he on board the skyship, he found out that the quarter master and the fiercest fighter knoew his secret of being cloud wolf's son and actually kidnapped him in order to get all the stormphrax from his father.
In the end, Cloud wolf managed to kill all the vilains but his left arm was injured and the sky ship was falling. Everyone abandoned the sky ship except cloud wolf, who decided to stay and try manouevering the sky ship back into the storm. All the crew members landed in twilight woods, woods of eternity and frenzy. People would not die in twilight woods but would go crazy while their minds are being driven away by the trees there.Twig found all the members and brought them out to the mire, when they reach an abandon ship, only Twig and the professor of light are there. When twig look back, he saw the stone pilot being assaulted by a creature. He quickly rush back and saved the stone pilot's life.
At the end of the story, the professor of light died of injuries and Twig managed to kill Vilnix Pompoltius. The Professor of darkness, the professor of light's most trustworthy brother became the most high academene. Twig managed to find out the secret in successfully creating Phraxdust and he spreaded the news to everyone. He also found out where his father is and sailed with his own sky ship in search of his father, together with his new crew members.
