Creative Connecter – The Double Life Of Cassiel Roadnight

I can connect this chapter in the book with a book that i had read before, I don’t know the name of it. It was about a boy who’s father and mother was killed, he was about 15 years witch is a bit older then what Cassiel was when he moved. This boy then moved cross country to live with his uncle who was his only relative. He didn’t knew who he was so he had to start a new life with this uncle. It’s almost the same with Cassiel, he had to start a whole new life when his grandad could’t take care of him anymore. Unlike in Cassiel case, the boy had a uncle but Cassiel doesn’t have any relatives.

Summarizer – The Double Life Of Cassiel Roadnight

In these chapters Cassiel leaves the place that he was taken care at. His sister Edie picks him up and they go home by car to their house. 

Once he gets home, he meets some old friends that he doesn’t know who they are because as you all know he isn’t the real Cassiel. 

Cassiel then moves in with his family, but after a while his ”mother” thinks his eyes are different and gets very suspicious. Also he doesn’t want to eat meatballs because his grandad has taught him to be a vegetarian, the real Cassiels favourite food was meatballs. On his room he looks for clues of the real Cassiel, in old photo albums, books and notes and etc. Edie and Cassiel then takes a ride into town to meet some old friends but Cassiel isn’t very found of this. 

Character tracer – The Double Life Of Cassiel Roadnight

I chose to trace the caracter Chap, or Cassiel Roadnight.

On page 10. he's a kind of cocky and not so thankful against the people who take care of him and gives him clothes and a bed etc. When Gordon and Ginny introduces them selves he says "well done" and "good for you". And also when they ask for his name all he says is just "i'm nobody" with to me is a rude thing to say. He could at least have said his nickname or something.

Chip i think is a good person deep inside before , but he had just had a bad history. Before he moved from his granddad i was having a great time. I can tell this because on page 8 he was locked in for fighting and he was a real trouble maker, but later on page 23 he opens up and is nice to Gordon, says i'm sorry and thank you etc. He's also being really nice to his "sister" on page 30.

Swedish Christmas Traditions - St. Claus

St. Claus is something in sweden that everybody know about. The ”swedish” St. Claus can be described similar to the ”US” St. Claus. The only different is that they accrue on different days. The so called ”swedish” St. Claus comes on the evening on december 24. He then visits houses with children and gives out the christmas presents. 

The ”US” St. Claus comes in december 25 during the night and puts the Christmas presents under the Christmas tree. 

Another swedish tradition is to give St. Claus oatmeal. He is often associated with having a sleigh and reindeers. 

The history behind St. Claus occurred from the German St. Nicholas. He was a saint and who lived in 300 and belong to the Catholic church. The whole concept of someone giving presents and the Swedish Christmas tradition, comes from this man. 

Of course St. Claus is just a made up man but very many people, especially children believe in him.

Short love text: 50 words

The door flung open and it was time to eat again. 

Same old routine every day and she’s got several more years to serve. 

She meet him every day but she know the they can never meet each other.  

It’s just miserable love because she’s a prisoner, and he’s the prison guard.

Those three wishes Paragraf 5

Hon heter Melinda Alice. Hon är smart och snygg och väldigt, väldigt otäck. Hon är så otäck att alla andra barnen vill vara vän med henne. Trots allt, det är bättre att vara vän med henne än att vara en av hennes offer.   

My working experience

I have been an intern at Intersport in Nova Lund. My supervisors name was Martin and he gave me tasks such as unbox new clothes. Then putting alarms on them so nobody could steel them, putting on price-stickers and then folding them or putting them in clothes hangers. Sometimes different stuff was needed to be moved to another place in the store so they told me to move it. In the afternoon there wasn’t anything to unbox so i mostly cleaned the shoe shelfs or putting on price-stickers on shoeboxes in the stock. 

I worked from ten to five and had one hour lunch brake. 

I’d like to work there in the future, not as my main job but as a extra job. Maybe while i’m studying in school. 

It was a lot of fun to work as a intern at Intersport and the people was nice but sometimes i didn’t had so much to do and that got a little bit boring.

My favourite invention

My favourite invention is the life starter because it saves so many lives every year. It lookes like two metal pads that gives the person who resently had died an electric shock so the heart will start pumping blod again. This invention was invented in 20th century and is used every day in the world. Every year it saves over a million lives and is necessary in the healthcare.

A. Answer to question 2  (p. 19 WB)

It’s time for you to talk to you father. He’s probably so strikt with you because he wants to protect you. He dosn’t want anything bad happen to you when you go out. If you invite the boy to meet your father he might think it’s OK to go out because he sees that this boy is nice and he can trust on him. Confront your father and ask him why he won’t let you go out. Then have a long talk about it. Maby you can convinse him to go out with this boy. 
Let him know how you feel about it, tell him that you are old enought to take care of your self. Don't be shy! 

We know where you live

Friendship

There are many things that represent a friendship. Things like when two people(or more) are best friends and does everything together. All the fun stuff like playing pranks on eatch other, hangs out. A best friend is somebody you know that you always can trust, no matter what happens and that person will always be there for you. It's very good to have a best friend in case you have a secret to reveal. That person is most likely very glad to listen.
Friendships mustn't always be something positive or happy. You can have a bad friendship with somebody.
In a friendship there are a lot of feelings involved. You can be happy, sad, angry or even in love. I takes long a time to build up a strong friendship, many fights and laughs.
A friendship isn't always between two humans. You can build a friendship with an animal, a dog, cat, bird or something else. The main thing with a good friendship is that you will always have a great time.

Lockie's diary

Today was not a successful day. Me and Egg was preparing a protest meeting about the poisoned river. Not so many showed up. Before that mom told me to hang up a sign about this. I totally forget that because i was thinking about Dot all day. She asked me out to go surfing and I couldn't say no. I wasn't prepare for that so I forgot some things. Things like helping Egg with the chairs and the speech to the protest meeting and helping mum putt up the sign because she can't get up on chairs.

Egg got very angry about this and didn't want to be my friend. Actually he called me a bad friend and I think that I should sit in the dogbasket because of that. To make up with all these mistakes I helped Egg preparing for his parents anniversatyday. I dressed like a chef and cooked food. His parents thought that it was Egg that had cooked the food.
I was so frustrated about Dot so i was a bad brother to Philip. I said that Lisa didn't like him and he got very mad. I hope I can kiss Dot in the future.
