There I was, silently and gracefully coming out of my mum. Everyone staring at me saying ‘aw so cute and little let me hold him’. (I remember my mum giving me to my great aunt, she held me above her head like in lion king. So embarrassing) As I was being held by my aunt, I excreted on her leaving her in distraught. I was given back to my mum. Then the doctor cleaned me off, then  a few days later I was gone.

We leave the house. Its 8:15 in the morning and we are walking down acre-lane. We catch the bus. ‘good morning driver, how are you today?’ I ask. ‘Im fine thank you.’

A few minutes later me and my mother get off of the bus and walk down to Sudbourne road.( My first day at school and Im so excited!!!!!!!) As we approach the school gates I see lots of people much bigger than me and I think ‘oh my gosh their so big’We walk in and we see my new headmaster and teacher.My mum stops to talk to them. ‘ mum come lets go, I want meet some new friends.’ I went to my new classroom and saw some new people. Straight away, I have made a friend. ‘Hi tyrique how are you, do you wonna be friends?’

There we were, standing in our positions waiting for the whistle to go. The pressure so intense our hearts dropped after every breath. All that’s on our minds ‘we have to win come on team, we can do this’. I shout ‘come on evolution we can do this’.

The whistle blows, we run in putting pressure on them strait away. They loose possesion. We take advantage of this and drive forwards passing the ball across the pitch, doing skills, long balls and short.we get into the final quarter of the pitch, our center midfielder takes a shot… Aaaww it’s hits the crossbar and bounces back, I header it and it’s a goal…

In the story of Haroun, the mood is set as a sad one.This is because it says in the first sentence ‘, a sad city, a city so ruinously sad that it had forgotten its name. ‘ meaning the city is not a great place to live in. In addition to this it also states, ‘in which sadness was actually manufactured’ the author is using personification to give the reader/s more detail, humour and a better explanation of what is happening in the first paragraph. It also says soon after that, ‘(maybe the sadness of the city finally crept in through their windows)’, this is also an example of personification because it says crept in through their windows and.

Haroun and his family had been the only happy family in the city if not country.This was because of him and his family being very happy because his dad is a very happy story teller and a his mum is a very happy singer which keeps their family happy.This is why haroun and his family are so happy (compared to everyone else) in the city of Alifbay.                                                         On the other hand, later on his mum leaves…   What will happen next?????…….

Salman Rushdie uses a type of fairy- tale beginning to start us off for the upcoming events.’there was once’ is what he starts us off with. Usually in a fairy tale you start it with ‘once upon a time’ or ‘there was once’ or even ‘in a land far far away’ this is because when one person starts something cool you tend to copy it to make yours even better.This is why the author ‘Salman Rushdie’ uses ‘ there was once ‘… As a beginning.

In addition to my first paragraph, it states that Rashid has two different names one being the ‘ocean of notions’ and the other being ‘the shah of blah’.you probably would have thought that he would have no rivals before you complete the first few pages. But this is only because of his explanation.
