Limerick - Geroge Washington

George Washington went to sea,
To look for the ferocious bee.
The battle went on for a week,
Untill the bee grew weak.
And he came back with of pot of tea.

Rhyming Poem

Mum, mum i hurt my nose,
AND please don't step on my toes.

Mum, mum i've got to go,
Today were're going to the Gold Coast Show!

Mum, mum you're going to be late,
Do you want to miss your date?

Metaphor Poem

Red eye tree frog


A mountain goat leaping from rock to rock,
And silk skin on its back.
A camilion, hidden in the dense thicket.
Bloodshot eyes from a horror sight.

Simile Poem

Red - eyed tree frog.

Leaping like a mountain goat,
Smooth as silk,
Blending in like a camilion in the rainforest,
Small and agile in the forest.
Red - eyed tree frogs.

English Assignment - Interview with Sebastian by Alexa Daley

An Interview with Sebastian (Ganesh) by Alexa Daley.

Alexa: Hello Sebastian, thank you very much for agreeing to do this interview.


Sebastian: Yes well, you wanted to talk so here I am!

Alexa: OK so let’s get this underway… How did you become so lazy and not want to work?

Sebastian: Well, when I was younger everything was done for me and I didn’t care about anything. Also do you know how boring work can be? I mean it is so difficult and the long hours, it’s just too much for me.

Alexa: So because of this you became a vagabond? A wanderer by choice?

Sebastian: Well, I guess so. I mean I really hate hard work so being a wanderer by choice is alright. At least no one keeps nagging you all the time. Do this and do that. I’ve had enough!

Alexa: That’s really interesting. So then, why did you want to become mayor of Turlock?

Sebastian: Being Mayor made me feel like I was better than others, that I had power. If I was a leader no one could kick me out and be nasty to me. Being a leader was the best thing I had.

Alexa: If that’s so why did you become the leader of the convicts? Was it a chance to gain more power and leadership?

Sebastian: I was the one… the only one who could be the leader. None of the convicts really had any brains to be the leader. I was the only one with my C branded down low. I wanted to be on top so if that meant helping the convicts organise an attack well then I’d do it.

Alexa: So you were a convict? How did that happen?

Sebastian: Yeah I was a convict. I was a convict because I had no choice. I had to steal to survive and one day I was caught.

Alexa: Sebastian is that your real name or is it Ganesh?

Sebastian: Nope Sebastian is my real name, Ganesh was my cover.

Alexa: Why did you need a cover name?

Sebastian: Because I needed one! If I tried to do things with my real name people would know who I was and I would have been found out long ago. With a new name I could start life again and no one who would know who I was. I could do anything I wanted without being questioned.

Alexa: So why were you very nice to me when I arrived this summer?

Sebastian: I needed to gain your trust. I needed you to trust me so that it would make it less obvious that I was behind all of this. How much longer are you going to be asking me questions?

Alexa: Oh, only a few more, don’t worry. So when my father and I arrived this summer at Reny Lodge, you and Warvold were chatting like old friends, didn’t you ever think about just leaving the convicts and having a normal life?

Sebastian: Well yeah of course I thought of ditching those pathetic losers. I mean who wouldn’t, when they can’t even think of an invasion themselves. Having a normal life, ha! Never going to happen anyway, so why bother.

Alexa: Just one more question ok.

Sebastian: Yeah alright hurry it up.

Alexa: Did you ever actually like us?

Sebastian: Yeah I liked you when you were little and you weren’t so nosey! Do you know how annoying your father can be? Warvold though, yeah I liked him. He was kind, sweet and he helped me a lot. So there, that was your final question, can I leave now?

Alexa: Well, thank you for your time (pause) I was just wondering? If you were trying to plan an invasion wouldn’t you stay hidden, not be in the public eye?

Sebastian: I thought that was your last question!

Alexa: I changed my mind. So…

Sebastian: I’m not going to tell you, you, YOU BRAT!

Alexa: Well then, if that’s they way you want it you can go and rot in jail for all I care!

Sebastian: Right, whatever. I’ve got plans to make!
