to kill a mocking bird
The story takes place in Maycomb, Alabama. This already gave us an idea of what this story was going to be like as the significant tha happened in this region was the civil rights movement. It was also a place where the blacks and whites lived together. Racism would definitely happen there.
The importance of setting in a story
The setting of the first story, the real Durwan, is in India during the India independence. The whole seting sjows us that Boori Ma was poor. This gave us a sad feeling and alos made me think that this story was going to be a depressing one.
The setting of the second story, The adventure of the speckled band, showed a us that this was going to be a detective-based story. Its setting is in the morning of Baker Street,London and Sherlock Holmes, the detective is very active in the setting.
The third story, Pride and prejudice, it was set in a town, in Mrs and Mr Bennet's house. It was set in the 18th century in the Elizabeth era. It gives us cluues that this is going to be a love story.

comic script
www.pikistrips.com/ps/gallery/view_image/3537718
My comic script is acctually based on the cartoon spongebob squarpants. As we all know, spongebob is a sponge and then one day, he grew hair! ( this might sound boring) His friends began discriminating him and left him alone. Then spongebob found Patrick the starfish and told everything to him.
I used a red colour background to make the stript look more exciting and I also creatd an effect that Patrick is very positive and on the other hand, Spongebob is negative and his look.

Messy room
Which of the above poems can you identify with the most? Write down your thoughts on your blog.......
The poem that I can identify the most is the poem Messy Room .
1)Can you say that the poem is humorous? If so how?
I can say that this is a humorous poem. The poem is started off by the author blaming and criticising the owner of the room but in the end, the owner is himself. The author has been continuously using the sentence "Whoever room this is should be ashamed!"
The poem is mainly talking about the messy state the room was in . How mucky and dam the room was in. I have a messy room too and most of the time it will be my mum is the one who helps me to clean the room up. I do not appreciate and even blame her for clean the things and made me do not know where she put the things. Although I know that I am the one who is at fault but I just cannot help pushing the blame to others.
The author in this poem is similiar to me. He pushes the blame to other without realising that it is his fault himself. The funny poem in the poem is that the author did not realise he was criticising and commenting on himself until the end of the poem.
2) What aspect of the human character has been highlighted in this poem?
This poem depicts the scene that one is so quick to blame others that he do not realise that it is his on fault.
