CREATIVE WRITING; DEATH LETTER
Dear Laura,
You were right about me dealing with the bad, look at where it got you, your gone because of me. You have been dealing with the things I have caused in my life. I am sorry for not seeing you when I was always with the gang, your my girlfriend but I realized that I chose the gang over someone I loved. Its too late for me to say the things that i couldn't express before but I love you for always being there for me, I wish..I wish everything would just rewind back so I can always be there with you more than I was with the gang. If' I'd known better, maybe you wouldn't of been in any of my mess and I regret putting the gang first because it was the most stupidest decision I have ever made in my life. Now that your gone I promise you I will never join the gang babe. I hurt you once then look at it now I lost you. If there was anything at all, I don't care what the hell it was that I could do to bring you back even if it were just for a day I would do it in a heart beat. Now I wont stop but help myself through life and wont stop regretting it every single day.
Babe I had dreamed a dream the other night, my love you came all dressed in white. You came to my bedside all dressed in white like some fair bride, you made no sound, no word you said and then I knew my love was dead. Then I awoke to hear the cry lowlands away.
I remember our first date we went to the movies to watch The Vow it was one of the most memorable memories I will cherish in my life. Your red Chuck Taylor's, faded pink tight jeans, white shirt, cream colored cardigan also the silver cross necklace and that fresh perfume of Dolche and Gabana I gave to you for your birthday 2 months ago. It was dark, the smell of the theatre was over taken by the smell of the nice fresh perfume of Dolche and Gabana. The food we ate was delicious remember the cotton candy you always had, the large popcorn, the hot and spicy Mexican flavored Derito chips, large Chocolate Bare, the nice flavored caramel and vanilla ice cream with the chocolate icing you always adored also the drinks; Coco Cola and Sprite to complete everything i have planned for you.
I miss that glamorous smile you have always put on your beautiful face, I miss those bright brown eyes that have always caught young kids attention, i miss that crazy, funny and loving personality last but not least i miss hearing your voice. The tone you used when you were mad, sad, happy, the smoothness of your soft hands when we hold each others hands and the silkiness and smoothness of your hair when you would let me play with it. But..babe..I miss you so much and to be honest your more than I could ever ask for to make me a better person than i ever was. Without you right now I am back to square one, without you there's no one I would love besides you. Rest in peace my girl your in safe hands now with our heavenly father, fly high and keep smiling. I love you.

Novel
Title; Last Minute
Type; Novel
Author; David Hill
Last Minute is about a young mix gender teenage group of students/basketballers who struggles to find success against an incredible basketball school team named Western Heights. This is also about the students who couldn't believe in themselves after a huge loss the previous season from the same school. So throughout the novel the group of basketballers go through both bad and good times among-st themselves to improve on their skills.
A challenge a character faced in this text was Zac. The character handled it by trying to cope with the team because he keeps getting put off by them when they tell him to change his ripped pair of sports shoes. A day after that he then gets a new pair of runners before the first game against Western Heights, an evidence towards Zac having to deal with the team before he gets new shoes is when Brittany says to him "You've got the problem. Why don't you fix those stupid runners? Buy a new pair!". This helps me understand that Brittany and Zac don't get along that well also they have a lot on their mind about each other such as calling each other names but as he gets new pairs Brittany then come's to a point where she doesn't call him names because of the new pairs he bought so she takes him for granted.
One idea in this novel was the friendship the team had throughout the year this is because at first they did not believe in themselves for a long time after they had challenged a strong school but during the training's the previous weeks and year they had all come together and train new moves for the game. An example of friendship is "You're my team, we're a team and always a team" this means that through bad or good times friends or team mates they'll always stick by each other. What i learnt from the teams friendship is that even though you give each other so much hate in school there's a lot going on in the sport team where you have to put yourself on the line and do whats best for each other not for yourself because if your alone you wont achieve the goal but when you have friends we can achieve so much things in life.
Overall throughout the novel the team mates are glad that they have given all their best to the opposition but win or lose they can always build up their confidence towards the other schools in the tournament. One team mate down all the team mates are down, when one team mate stands up for themselves the rest will stand right beside them.

Artist Lyrics
Title; Artist Lyrics
Song; Hopeful
Artist; Twista ft Faith
"Hopeful" is a song about the people around America that have lost their lives or been put into prison or the change THOSE people want to make. This song is about the close friends and family Twista has lost during his career in the Music Industry also comparing himself to the society itself around him.
Twista known as Carl Terrell Mitchell was born on November 27, 1973 in Chicago Illinois. Twista also creates a memory of the 9/11 attack that had took place in the city of New York. His main focus on this song was mainly his views on the war on Terrorism, close friends such as Tupac, Biggie, Left Eye, Jam Master Jay, Aaliyah also his views on his life, family, the people that live around America. A theme in this song is Lost of a Loved One. An example of when he talks about the loss of his loved ones as in friends and the people around him in the song it says "i just wanna say rest in peace to Aaliyah, rest in peace to Left Eye, rest in peace to Jam Master Jay, and everybody lost in the twin towers, and everybody we lost PERIOD". I liked it because it made me feel the way Twista felt when he lost the people around him and the close friends he had also that I/He will lose them period like the way i lost my mother period.
A quote i want to remember and always will remember is "with the faith of a mustard seed you can move mountains, and only the heavenly father can ease the hurt, just let it go and keep praying on your knees in church". The reason why i want to remember this quote because praying to the heavenly father can be the only way to ease your pain and to ask him for his guidance as Twista, me or anyone else in this world are going through a rough time without the people we LOVE. What i learnt from this song is that with the people who use to be surrounded by us as a friend or a family member we could always do what we do for each person that has lost their lives due to tragedies and that's always pray.
Overall the song showed the hope we should have after a terrible incident that had happened whether its a family member or not you can always count on the hope you have inside of you. The strong messages in this song is all about the past coming back to life for us to hear, look and to be ourselves around them again. I believe this is one of the most successful songs that have ever been made about life itself.

Short Story; The Hills
Title; The Hills
Author; Patricia Grace
Type; Short Story
The Hills by Patricia Grace is a short story about a young teenage boy who talks about what being a "boy" is or what it means to himself and other individuals around him. Also this short story has a main idea of Racism where the cops say to the little boy that he is black.
One idea in this Short Story was the conflict between cops and the boy. I thought it was interesting because the boy was at the pub with his friends and his friend tells him that Steve was talking with the cops so he wonders off looking for him. The boy then comes to a point where the cops are telling him off then arrests him for nothing he then wonders to himself why he is being arrested because all he was doing was looking for his friend that had been missing while after he had been talking to the cops. This made me feel and understand that this sort of based in the dawn raids in the early 1970's where racism was occurred in New Zealand like the White New Zealanders arresting the Pacific Islanders and the Maoris for no reason and giving them no freedom.
The most important event in this text was when the boy gets taken into the the station. I thought it was important because this is where he changes from a "boy" to a "man" after he experiences what its like to be in jail. An example of where he changes from a boy to a man is where in the short story it says "Later that day i went outside and walked up the street, and when i got to the top of the road i wouldn't look out at the hills. I turned and went back home. I remember wondering if i would ever look their again". This means that he does not want to be put up at the stage where he was before when he was at the hills and everything around him changed like his perspectives about the hills.
After reading this Short Story by Patricia Grace it made me think about how when he was a boy he was a smartarse, dirty with a filthy mind also is a servant and a slave but when he became a man after that little incident that happened at the pub he realized that being a boy puts him into bad situations just like getting end up in jail and he has to learn from what happened when he was a teenage boy.

AS 2.4 Tsotsi Film Review
Tsotsi
Film Review
This film is a film that could inspire your deepest emotions and to any individuals like myself who are interested behind the scenes of the way of life South Africans live in the rich and minor parts of Johannesburg, well this breath-taking film is the film to watch.
Tsotsi is an action-drama filled film set in Soweto, South Africa in the early 1970's. A struggle to look for change, the main character Tsosti a careless and ruthless teenager who lives in a small town called Soweto filled with filthy ghettos and poor individuals like himself. As he is a ghetto himself he grows up having no one to provide him a life he would've had when he was young child. Instead of that he had to provide himself food and water by carnarging people for their money.
In the film making of Tsotsi there are a lot of dramatic acting which helps us understand that being emotional is really important. One of the main lead roles Presley Chweneyagae who acts as Tsotsi is an example of being emotional as it is seen at the last part of the movie the expression on his face as he is giving the baby back to its parents is that of someone who is about to give his life. However Presley portrayed his character Tsotsi beautifully as he projects his emotions from off screen to the viewers point.
The mix music of Kwaito and Gangster music is appropriately used to reflect on the main character Tsotsi's background and the themes that is used in this film, such as when it is upbeat music it shows the theme of violence. An example of the upbeat music that is shown in the film is when after Tsotsi gives Sookie "teacher boy" a hiding then runs away, a loud thundering drum beat is played as he is running away from the pub and the trouble he has caused. Also another example of music that is used in the beginning of the film is Ghettoish music this is used to show the way Tsotsi lives in the minor area of Johannesburg which connects to his life as he is a Ghetto himself gambling in the shacks with his gang.
It will change the way you see (e.g young people) after watching this film. A truth is that a different set of individuals are inspired by different aspects that is used in movies like myself in this movie i liked the use of acting and music both aspects connect to each other such as the way Gavin Hood used the ghettoish music to show the way Tsotsi lives.
With the use of interesting and dramatic of different themes such as violence, change and redemption i believe that the film Tsotsi is one of the all times greatest action-drama filmed that is ever made because it relates back to how South Africans use to live in the early 1970's during the apartheid.
This film is a film that can change your perspectives about yourselves or other individuals around you it is a film that could inspire your deepest emotions so if i was you i would gt this film as soon as possible from the videos store around your area.
