Writer's Festival

We went to the Writer's Festival today, and it was really fun! We went with some other classes too, and so some of our friends came along as well.

I really liked listening to the two writers talk. I only remember one author's name (Matthew Skelton), because the other woman writer had a really complicated Japanese sounding name. This event got me interested in these two books:
Endymion Spring, and Cirrus Flux.

I liked how Matthew Skelton described his "evil" big sister. He told us about a time when he was five and his sister was eight. In the middle of the night, his sister woke him up and told him that burglers were in the house. She made him hide downstairs while she was going to "check" on their mom and dad. He hid there all night before he realized in the morning that his sister had gone to bed.

I also liked the part when someone asked the writers what their least favourite books were, and they both said Twilight! Everybody was laughing. I personally don't mind Twilight that much, but I just read the first and fourth book, and didn't bother reading the rest.

Lesson 1 Family reflections:
If someone would describe our family character they would probably say hardworking, and maybe stubborn. The character qualities high on our family list is honesty.
