Term+2+English+Reflection

English We’ve done many things in English like urban myths where we had to make a power point on a selected urban myth. I chose judgement day. Judgement day is the day when people thing the earth is going to end. There are many theories but I never got to say any because I became sick the next day. We’ve done few tests on similarities and differences and on pronouns. We did a few types of poems. We did quatrain poems where there are up to ten verses where in every verse there are four lines. In a quatrain there is a pattern which follows in all verses. It is the rhyming pattern. For example ABAB. So the second and fourth line in each verse has to rhyme. The second type of poetry we learnt was Haiku. It is a Japanese type of poem and you have 3 lines. There are 17 syllables. 5-7-5 and they are usually on a specific subject like summer. It was really fun but then we found that we were only meant to do it in term 4. We wrote mystery stories of our chocie. I did a combination of a few classic stories.



2:20am. Just woken up from a weary sleep when the phone rang. Answered it and the most devastating news haunted me. Industrial tycoon John Farqua had been murdered and apparently the killer was my partner Watson. I couldn't wait and I went to investigate.

8:30 am. I ran into detective Poirot and I had a long conversation with him

" How was I not told?"

" It was none of your concern"

" Are you crazy? He's my assistant for god sake. Of course it's my concern"

" Watson has been charged for the murder of John Farqua"

" With what evidence?"

" He was at the scene when John Farqua was murdered."

" Watson was with me from 9- 9.5opm.We were at the port at the time and I left at 9.50pm he said he wanted to stay for longer."

"We found no other evidence at the time and so we have to assume he was the killer."

"What was the scene like?"

" We had a policeman patrolling that area and he saw Watson walking a few hundred metres"

"How can you assume he was the killer when he was a few hundred metres away? He could have just been in the wrong place at the wrong time. Anyway, you can't just convict him without any proper evidence."

" We have to say we have found the killer but if you wish Sherlock we can do an investigation and yes we can't assume. I'm just as annoyed as you are. Watson was my friend too."

"Who was the police officer?"

''Your friend Bill Johnson"

" I would like to see the body"

" I figured you'd say that. It's still in the hospital"

" How was John killed?"

" Strangely in many ways. He had a knife wound and a bullet hole in his head. "

" That means it could have still been a suicide"

"I know. One more thing. He left a tape."

"Did Watson resist?""

"Yes."

"Interesting."

9am. At Watson's house. Watching the tape.

" I have nothing more to live for. My company is at it's peak. It can only fall now and that means I will be responsible for the end of the reign of my company"

" It's definitely a murder"

"How do you know"

" The cassette started from the start which means somebody must have rewound the film"

" Of course"

" I know who the murderer is"

" Who?"

" It was the policeman out on patrol''

" Bill!"

" You're right. Bill was a man I knew very well, l and he hated John Farqua because he refused to give Bill a job when he was younger. He kept saying he was going to get his revenge and this was his chance. He could have his revenge and blame it on Watson because he hated Watson just as much as he hated John because he wanted to be my assistant but I gave that job to Watson " So he hatched this plan to kill two birds with one stone.

" But how did he kill him?"

" Simple I didn't see Bill at the port and when I left he arrived and put his body on the ground and went and arrested Watson and yes he did kill him at home. Being a policeman can get you close to anyone. Release Watson and send him my apologies"

"Right away Mr Holmes"

" Case closed"
