                                                                       Hoot

Hoot is about a young boy called Roy who  Just moved to coconut cove lives a life of being bullied and while he was being bullied he saw a running boy.
Roy decided to follow this running boy called Mullet Fingers and sooner or later their sorta friends along with his step sister Beatrice Leep. Roy spots something in the news paper and having to do with building a new pancake store over some burrowing owls and its Roy's, his dads mission to try and stop them.

 
 My favourite character was Roy because hes really smart and he figures everything out. He may not be strong, tough and mighty but he's a hero because he saves all the owls.

My least favourite character was Dana because he was the big bully and he bullied Roy alot.

My favourite part of the story was the end because they saved the burrowing owls and stopped building the pancake house over the  owl burrows.

I think that the theme of the book was about survival. Roy survived through bullying, Beatrice survived through being in a violent house and most importantly the owls survived after almost being built over.

Rating: 9/10

I'm looking forward to the whole movie because it was good how the were very descriptive and set everything, so at this point there all equal.

                          Texting and driving
                                     is bad
I am here to state my case, that texting and driving is bad for you. People die. Looking down at your phone while there's a baby on board, imagine i still baby not breathing, cold.

Texting while driving is one of the worst distractions. It can cause accidents, injuries and even kill. I know people need to die but not like this. It can also cause 3 major functions such as:

1-cognitive
2-manual
3-visually

Everything changes on the road, change directions, and most cars were made to react fast.


In 2011 there were 1.3 million crashes. There was about 9.8 million messages sent on the 5 of December to 110.4 billion messages sent on December 8. 385 people have died by texting and driving.


95% of people say texting and driving is a major threat to their safety. 35% of people have admitted to reading a text whilst driving in the last 30 days.

Texting while driving makes a crash up to  more likely.

Dialing-28x
Talking-1.3x
Reaching or replying 1.4x at risk

We really don"t want this, to lose our family and friend. Do we? God brought us into the world because we are strong to live it, don't be weak and end like that. Make it a law.
