Matilda Bone

The historical fiction novel, Matilda Bone, by Karen Cushman tells the story of a girl living in the Middle Ages. It explains that life was difficult during this period of history meaning that when when Matilda was moved to a new place, it was hard for her to adapt to the new environment because due to a lack of medical knowledge and unsanitary conditions but too much of her religion.

Before Matilda was moved to Blood Bone Alley by her beloved Father Leufredus, she lived in a manor with religious people who taught her about their religion and Matilda learned a lot from them. When she met Mistress Peg, she didn't like her very much since she wasn't into religion because Peg see no use for prayers in bonesetting. Raised in a religious place, Matilda was really holy at the time and when she was in trouble, she asked the saints in her mind and prayed to God. But over time at Blood Bone Alley with Peg, she learns that her prayers for the sick and wounded wouldn't help her tend and treat the broken bones for she was a bonesetter's student.

During the Middle Ages, hygiene was a problem because people didn't wash and if they did, the materials they used weren't right. So with low hygiene, disease can spread causing death at a young age or getting sick easily just like Blood Bone Alley, a dirty and filth place. And Matilda was not used to that since because she lived in a nice warm and clean home. So when Matilda got abandoned at Blood Bone Alley, she hated her life and begged for Father Leufredus to come back to her.

Medical knowledge was very different from what we have today but I think that Bonesetting is exactly something that resembles some modern broken bone surgeries, forcing a broken bone back in place resting it. Matilda had to assist Peg with these surgeries which at first, she failed at but she did start mastering it. Matilda also had another skill, she was very kind and gentle to other people so when the injured person's morale is down, she talks to them and make them feel much better as well as distracting them from the pain they are in.

This book showed these three ideas clearly throughout the book. And in the story, Matilda for on a journey and by the end she has learned and experience many new things in life. “The road of life twists and turns and no two directions are ever the same. Yet our lessons come from the journey, not the destination.”- Don Williams, Jr.

Ill Born Fen Rat!

1066 is a middle ages warfare game about when the England was invaded by the Vikings and the Normans. In the game, you can play in story mode, it will tell you the history of 1066 and you get to play in the battles as: the Vikings, who won the battle when they landed in England. Then you play as the Saxons, who fought against the Vikings and won at Stamford Bridge and the last battle was when you played as the Normans and beat the English army. In real life back in 1066, how the Normans won was because of their strategy which was pretending to retreat so the English broke their shield wall to chase the Normans. But then the Normans turn around and killed the English soldiers. I learned many interesting facts and what they armies might have said as taunts on the battlefield. I enjoyed this game because of the videos between the battles which were full of facts and was fun to watch. I think this game should be played before we start the 1066 unit in class.

Power Of the VOID (band homework)


"The (silence) International School of Kuala Lumpur provides (silence) an exceptional education that challenges each (silence) student to develop the attitudes, (silence) skills, knowledge and (silence) understanding to become a highly successful, spirited, socially responsible (silence) global citizen."


I added a silence after "The" because it creates some tension. The void will make the listener think about what the person is going to say. They don't know, it could be a banana or a car and they'll wonder is it good or bad? So tension builds up but the release is when the person tells what it is, which in this case, is a school. All the silences above makes the listener think, but some makes you nervous like the silence after attitudes. Well, it makes me nervous because if I am a parent listening to this, I would be nervous about what the school will make my child develop if like, they are the right stuff or the bad stuff.


Tension can be created in music too, not just in writing. One way of doing it is by putting a gap between the music. The gap is the void and tension is made in it. Image, you are listening to really loud music, then it suddenly stops. Your muscles tighten up and you are like "what the?", you might hold your breath and you might know that the music is coming so you brace yourself for it, that is the tension. Before you know it, the music comes back just as loud, like a wall of sound. The sound hits you, your muscles relax again and you let air just like when someone hits you in the stomach, that is the release.

"If you wait, people will forget your camera and the soul will drift up into view."


Famous photographer Steven McCurry was born in 1950 in Philadelphia. When he was young, he always wanted to be a documentary filmmaker because he wanted to tell the story of the world. But when he graduated from Cum Laude university, he joined a newspaper as a photographer. He realized that photos too, could tell stories and not soon afterwards, McCurry went to India to freelance as a photojournalist. But it's when he crossed the Pakistan border, he's career started. McCurry's photographs are sometimes joyous but sometimes painful because he focuses on the human consequences of war but the photos always show emotion, the soul. He once said "if you wait, people will forget your camera and the soul will drift up into view." I think Steven McCurry's best photo is the all famous Afghan Girl because it tells me my own version of a story and every time I look at it, it bombards me with emotions. I could almost feel myself drowning in the unhappiness and seriousness of the picture. Whenever i try to look around the picture, it's like my eyes forces me to look back at the Afghan Girl's eyes. The picture itself gives me this eerie feeling. I think McCurry is trying to show us the misery of the people in war because the picture doesn't show any signs of joy or freedom. The Afghan Girl's eyes seem to follow you, McCurry did this on purpose because he wanted that effect so he took a close up picture of her face and planted her eyes right in the middle. This photo is one of the many photos where he does a close up on the human face. Maybe this photo can convince the people of Afghanistan to stop fighting each other after they have seen the sadness in the photo and realize that they to, feel the same way the Afghan Girl does after all, pictures are better than words. This is a great picture because it has all the elements, like size, foreground, background, color and the best, it tells humanity too. The photo shows a journey, what the Afghan Girl has been through in her life but we wouldn't know for sure what it was that made her soul look so serious in the picture. I think this photo will last long into the future as a symbol of proverty.

Jason: Is it true?


Jason and the Argonauts is a famous myth, written in 4th century BC by Apollonius. In the myth Jason was the son of the king in Iolcus, but his uncle, Pelias had usurped the throne. But Pelias lived in fear because he was scared of losing what he had taken so unjustly. Pelias kept Jason's father a prisoner and would have murdered Jason at birth, but Jason's mother deceived Pelias by mourning as if Jason had died. Meanwhile Jason was carried to the cave of Chiron the Centaur. Chiron was famous for teaching and helping many great heroes so he taught Jason everything. When Jason became older, Jason set out like a "proper" hero to claim his rightful throne.


He met his uncle and demanded that he to give up the thorn but he refused but he did promise Jason that is he gets the legendary golden fleece. An impossible quest. But that didn't stop Jason. Great heroes couldn't resit to go on this quest so Jason hired and made a crew of them, including the all mighty Hercules who has the strength of a thousand men. Orpheus who's music can cut as sharp as knifes and the great huntress Atalanta. The Argonauts.


He had faced many difficult challenges through out the journey like the harpies and the clashing rocks. When he arrives upon the land where the golden fleece was, the king of the land offered a deal with Jason, if he could accomplish the tasks set out for him, he would kindly give the fleece to him. Meanwhile the king's daughter fell in love with Jason, helping him with all the tasks. Without her, Jason would be nowhere. After Jason and the Argonauts had the fleece, Jason promised to love Media, the daughter of the king, for the rest of his life. But when he breaks the promise back at his homeland with another princess. Media found out and cursed him but the discovery impacted her so much that her whole life changed, turning from good to evil. Jason didn't live long after he's gained the golden fleece because his death was caused by his our ship, the Argo, when a piece of oak fell on his hand, knocking the life out of him.


Who was Jason? Was he really a hero? Who were the real Argonauts? question not yet answered. I think there is no right or wrong answer to these questions, for examples; we'll never know if Hercules really existed or was made up. Only a fool would answer with a yes or no because he has no evidence unless he built a time machine and was able to control time and space to go back in time to check. And there are so many versions of the story, changing only by a little though but still has the main idea. With more than one version, it suggests to me that the story might be made up but the video we watch -The Real Jason and The Argonauts Part 1- says that most myths are based on true facts. What do you think?


For centuries, people think it was just a old legend but with modern day technology and the help of archaeologists, we were able to find evidence of Jason. Stones and artifacts were dug up by archaeologists and some of them had "history" carved on to them. And with high tech scanning, archaeologists found lost ruins, buried under tons of rock and soil. They were able to uncover a part of the city where Jason lived. History and geography supports the statement that Jason was real. But are you convinced?

Curiosity can, sometimes, be not a good thing...




Have you ever heard the phase “curiosity killed the cat”? Well it doesn’t kill but it can get you into trouble and it portrays curiosity can lead to change and devastation like in the myths Pandora’s box, a Greek myth, and Orphan boy, and African myth. Zeus gave the box to Pandora because he knew that she wouldn’t be able the resist opening the box because of curiosity. She opened it sometime later, letting all the monsters out, showing devastation but there was hope, showing change. The same thing happened in the Orphan boy myth since it was curiosity who caused the trouble. When Orphan boy left, the old man’s crops failed and his animals died, showing devastation again. Sometimes it’s curiosity who’s the boss not you…

Some Facts about My Name


Sometimes people get mixed up with my name and other names like Martin, Melvin or even Marbin or something like that, but the good thing is that once they know it, they'll remember it since it's kind of easy to pronounce and not hard to memorize cause it really fits me. I am not sure why people had NEVER EVER made fun of my name before cause maybe it's not funny or anything but if they did make fun of it, I might have forgotten it. Mostly everyone has I story behind their name but I don't and I am getting pretty mad...But I do know that my last name means horse in Chinese. When I searched up my name on the Internet, it said that Marvin means; "uncertain, possibly eminent marrow." I have no idea what that means what sometimes, I am uncertain like on the first day or school, my humanities teacher asked me what my name is, I don't know why but couldn't answer for some reason and till this day I still can't figure it out, I said "errr..... Marvin!" Some people laughed. And now, sometimes at school, when my humanities teacher calls me, she adds a short "errr..." before saying my name, Marvin.
I chose the picture above because first of all, it is kind of funny and second because this was the best one I could find.

Creation Myth Paragraph




The Hopi Creation Myth

In the Hopi creation myth, there were two gods, on named Twa (boy) and the other named Kokyanwuhti (girl). The two gods had a lot of work to do so they divided themselves to share the labor, Twa made a copy and Kokyanwuhti made a copy of themselves. Their "clones" married each other and produced a lot of other gods but then Twa and Kokyanwuhti had a great idea. They would make the Earth between the Heaven and the underworld and whatever Twa thought of, Kokyawuhti made from clay, they formed everything on Earth and breath life into some of them. Then they made humans because they needed a creature in their image to look after they creation.
I chose the picture above because in the picture, it shows humans made from clay just like the ones in the myth

The reason for the new title and picture

Don't you think my new title and picture is awesome? Don't you think it's deep and meaningful? Well this post is about why I chose this quote (title) and picture. First of all, I found the quote then I had to find a matching picture it was quite simple really, the quote "When you have completed 95% of your journey, you are only half way there." was from a Japanese proverb quote. I chose this quote because it goes with my favorite sentence "so close yet so far". It is really descriptive and it tells you how your journey never ends in any kind of way. But it might be a bit confusing because 95% is like almost the WHOLE thing but it says "only half way there". Maybe it's saying there are more beyond the journey you are on, more to it.

Look at the picture...
Look at the road and see how long it is? Doesn't it match the quote? Look at the guy with his dog, the guy would be saying "What the? My GPS says the finish line was right here! Where the heck did it go?" and the dog would say "Yeah, Where it go? I have no idea... maybe it is a way of telling us there is more ahead!" and guess what? The dog is right!

My malaysia week

I went to Pualu Perhentian Besar, an island for my Malaysia Week, but first if you don't know what Malaysia Week it is it doesn't matter since you don't go to my school. Well, I can tell you a bit about it. Malaysia week is a week where you go somewhere in Malaysia and do stuff, away from home and TV and stuff like that. Next I am gonna tell you my story (well story-like for the paragraph after this at least. The third and fourth paragraph is not story-like)



I got out of my bed on Sunday morning at 2:00am (I had to get to school before 2:50), brushed my teeth (yes, be surprised, I do brush my teeth!) and changed my cloths. I looked at the time and it was 2:30am already, I didn't have time to eat breakfast so I told my dad, let's go! When I arrived school there was a bunch of people already there, waiting for the buses. It was still dark, the kids and the parents were all chatting away. A few minutes later, the two buses arrived. The parents started saying goodbye to their children and my dad did the same to me. Soon I got on a bus and waved goodbye at the window to my dad as the bus started to pick up speed and before I knew it, my school was out of my sight. During the 8 hour bus trip I just talked and talked to the person next to me. When we got the harbour we took all out luggage and switch to a boat to get to the island. The boat ride was so awesome because it was windy and raining, the waves were HUGE! so it was a bumpy ride. Nothing much happened for the rest of the day cause all we did is got a wooden cabins on the island, rested and ate dinner.



For the next few days (Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday), we pretty much just snorkeled, I saw tons of corals, fish and sea turtles the down sides for me in snorkeling is that I get dizzy and sea lice kept biting me. We also spent a lot of time on the beach (getting sun burned :P) to build sandcastles or to dig a hole. We did some hiking too for getting somewhere else on the island. At night we played games and did some writing. On the third day we were at this snorkeling site and we get to jump off a bridge that was like 10 meters high! And we also had B.B.Q. that night too but we were outside where ants kept biting our feet and getting on to the table eating out food! On the second last day we camped outside on another beach toast marshmallows to make smores. It was a good thing that I was still a little awake when it started pouring rain! When it was raining, I got so darn cold and I had to pack and move my stuff, put on my shoes (which were really hard to put on) and we HAD TO HIKE BACK (THOUGH A FOREST) TO OUR RESORT IN THE DARN COLD RAINY NIGHT!!!



On the last day we woke up early, did what we had to do ate breakfast and played games till the boat arrived. The boat took us back to the harbour where we got on the bus which we took before and BANG we are off. As usual, I talked and talked but then I felt sleepy so I fell asleep. My friend next to me did something with me when I was sleeping but till this day, I still don't know what he did...When it was lunch time, we stopped for McDonald and I ate A LOT! And before dinner our bus had reach my school already. The parents were so happy to see their kids again but some of the kids weren't so happy to see their parents. But all I know at that time was "phew, I made it though the week and boy am I glad to be back! Oh home sweet home!"

Posts....and blogs....but mostly about posts...

Think...think...THINK...arrrgghhh...my brain is about to explode! AHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!! clam down... inhale...exhale...inhale...exhale...much better! Now you are properly thinking why I was so mad, well it's because I was trying to figure out why peeps (that's people if you don't know) write posts and make blogs...I mean like seriously dude! One of my classmates named Kevin wrote a post every single day in December, and I bet now his gonna take a break and not write for a while...Well unless our humanities teacher called Mrs. Resier is gonna tell us to write a post for homework! Well actually this is the post that's for homework and I am writing it right now! I wonder what my other friends are gonna write...can't wait to read their posts! Wait, what was I talking about? Oh yes, I was talking about why people write posts and make blogs. Well I think my classmates write posts cause maybe it's fun? Maybe to show off? Maybe to impress peeps? Who knows? I know why they made a blog! Their reason is the same as mine actually! It's because Mrs. Resier (that's my humanities teacher if you forgot) told us to!!!!! hahahahahaha....What? I find that funny. I think some people make blogs because they might wanna improve their writing and get commons from peeps all over the world to help him/her. But that's very rare cause peeps these days just play computer games and look for cats...wait that's me... :P. Oh well, guess I still didn't figure it out...but someday...just maybe...I will! If you have any ideas post a comment on this post and in the comment tell why people write posts and make blogs!



P.S. I will be looking forward to these comments!

P.S.S. I would be upset if you don't comment!

P.S.S.S. I am talking to you! You better post NOW! Or else...

Very good inventions! :)

Inventions, ahhhh... the inventions that makes us modern humans are electronics. Electronics are almost everything we use. They are important because if we don't have them our lives will be much harder, but we won't die without'em. Here are some electronic entertainment things I find everywhere. I wrote what they are and how they are used.

The first one is the TV. I have 2 and I could bet that everyone in my school has at least 2. They are very good for entertainment. They save us from boredom and it was invented by well... people worked together back then to invented the TV and through out the years the TV was improved and now it has color and it plays DVDs. They changed us by not letting us get bored.

The second one is the laptop or computer. This is like the best invention ever because if you can just go on Internet you can visit billions of websites. If you install MSN on your computer you can take people's emails and add them to your MSN... you can chat with them! (well...only if they are online). You can even put disks inside your computers to use, play or watch them. Even NASA has this super computer which does like everything for them and scientists use them to help them calculate and stuff like that. So computers made our lives a LOT more easier.

The last one is the Wii!!!!! :) This awesome invention is just so awesome. The wii has some really advance technology like when you put some gear or you and move your charter in the game moves like you. To play you have to put a disk in inside the Wii and it loads and you can play! I bet this invention encourages people to make better and more advance video games in the future.

These inventions are awesome!!!!! :)
Ohh... and I would be surprised if you don't have any of these... x_x

Help the animals!

Do you have a pet? Or did you use to have one? But first of all I must ask you this: Are you kind to animals? and if the answer is yes that good because now in Malaysia and you hurt or kill an animal you will get fined! :P. Look, you all know that I love animals (cats the most!) right? and in this post I am going tell you why you should help the SPCA and how to help the SPCA :).

First I am going to tell you why you should help the SPCA. You should help the SPCA because they collect animals with no home and keep them for adaptation, they feed them play with them and everything like that and so the food cost a lot of $$money$$ OH WAIT... I forgot to tell you what SPCA stands for, it stands for society for the prevention of cruelty to animals. Anyway the SPCA collects thousands of animals a year and they don't have a billion cages for the animals to live in and this leads us to how do we help them.

We can help them by, as you all know... donating. You can donate anything you want like money, old books, old games and everything you don't want. The SPCA will Collete the things you donate and sell them at a jumbo sale thingy but of coures, they keep the $$money$$. You can donate some pet food, toys for the animals or cages, litter box, sand and food bowls. Another way or helping them is if you find a pet or wild animal with out a home or is injured OR is about the go to heaven you can call the SPCA. But the bad news is you have to find the number of the SPCA in the place where you live first (and that is really hard :P). If you live by a SPCA tell or suggest to make a animal show to get some $$money$$. Like a show where you watch animals doing tricks of just a petting animal zoo thingy (what I meant was a place where you can pet and play with animals in cages but I don't mean play with a lion or a shark :P).

Hi people! ummmm... you are properly wondering why I have Super Cat for my title. Here are two reasons why: one, I love cats two: I couldn't come up with anything better :P.
