i went to the library last week and borrowed a book about robin hood. when mummy showed me the book, i was shocked. the book was so thick! but when i read the first chapter, i discovered that this book is very nice so i decided to borrow it. i borrowed another three books too.
when i got home, i started reading the book. i was amazed! the illustrations looked very real. i finished reading about three days ago. i wanted to share the story with you.
in the story, robin was a helpful guy. he hunt for animals to eat with his merry men. once his went into the forest by himself and found a knight dressed in flithy clothes. he ask the knight what happened. the knight said that he had owed the people four hundred pounds and had no food for days. at that time robin had no money. he took pity of the knight and went around asking people for money to clear the knight's debt. along his journey, he went around helping people. once, he saw a girl in the town and he asked her for her name. she answered him:'marian' (but robin hood calls her marry). during autumn, robin and marry was nominated as the May king and queen. May kings and queens were supposed to control the forest during may.
when autumn passed, the the worst of the worst evil villian became the winter king. (in winter there is no such thing as winter queen) he creates spell and magical potions, he hurts innocent villagers, locked people in cages and he hated kindness. one day he found out that robin and his merry men was helping the villagers to escape and killed lots of his soldiers. he was so angry that he even killed his own wife. (it was super disgusting because the page shows the wife bleeding and the head cut off. ewww.....) he thought of a plan. he is going to disguise as a old lady. the 'old lady' found robin in the forest and asked that robin to do 'her' a favour (at that time the merry men was looking for robin).
as robin was a kind guy, he agreed. the 'old lady' led him into a cave filled with bats. 'she' wanted robin to lie down on the wooden table. once robin lie on the wooden table there were cuffs that locked his hands and legs. he could not do anything but just closed his eyes. the evil villian took off his disguise. robin was shocked. the villian was just about to kill robin when the merry men found robin. little john (one of the merry men) saw and rushed forward and sacrificed himself for robin. the other merry men gathered around the villian and killed him. when the merry men freed robin, it was too late. little john lost too much blood and died. robin sadly went out of the cave as little john was the best archer in the gang and he was robin closest friend.
THE END!
ok. this is what i think. everyone is kind at heart. no matter how much you hate kindness, it will still remain somewhere in your heart. kindness is the purpose of life.

last night i went to watch "17 again" at AMK hub. i was so excited because we got the front seats. we bought a big popcorn and two drinks. after that, we quickly went to find our seats because we were late.
about one minute later, the show started. zac efron was known as mike o'donnell in the show. he had a girlfriend when he was 17 and the girl's name was scarlet. before the basketball match started, scarlet wanted to break up with mike as she knew that basketball was mike's future. when the game started, mike's teammates passed the ball to him but he chased after scarlet when he saw her leaving.
many years passed, there were problems between scarlet and mike. scarlet was blaming mike for not taking responsibilities for the kids and did not keep to all his promises. mike was blaming scarlet for destroying his future all these years. hence, both of them decided to have a divorce.
mike was forced to move out and he stayed with his best friend who likes aliens, monsters and spaceships (similar to starwars).
then, he met a weird cleaner at his old school. so, on a stormy night, something strange happened and he went back to "17"again. he had a chance to start all over again but he chose the same path in the end.
