Jason was a lonely boy. He always wanted friends, but he was too afraid to talk his classmates. He would watch them all play and have a good time while he sat there and watched what they would do.


Page 2

“I want to go talk to them”, he said with a frown on his face, but instead he just watched and stood in his place.


Page 3

He came to his house that night and looked to his mirror on the wall. “Today was bad, but my hope will not fall.” He would lie on his bed, and swore to do better. He laid out his clothes and a shiny new sweater.  Maybe kids will talk to me if I wear cool clothes. He had a twinkle in his eyes and he wiggled his nose.

He woke up in the morning, excited as can be, and then he put on his clothes faster than a countdown to 3.

Page 5

He ran to the bathroom and brushed his teeth, then bumped into his much older brother Heath. “Brother” he said with a huge smile, “you’re growing up and I haven’t spoken to you in a while. I just wanted to say, you can make many friends, just don’t give, there is never an end.” Jason smiled. Looked up with glee, then ran outside, happy as can be.


Page 6

He walked across the street and made it to school. Hoping he would speak and not feel like a fool. He took three steps to the nearest group, but walked back to his seat feeling like poop. “COME ON JASON!” He said to himself. “You can’t be another book on a shelf! Today we are going to talk the kids, don’t be afraid just go for it!”


Page 7

A burst of courage, blasted through him and he ran to a group, even though no one knew him. His blue eyes shining, his brown hair glowing, all this power, his hope was growing!

Page 8

“Hi everyone!”  He said with a smile. “Mind if I talk to you all for a while.” The boys in girls all smile and welcomed him.” Finally Jason has fit right in. In a matter of minutes he made new friends. That’s the last of this tale. Goodbye.

THE END.

DARREN SHAN- CIRQUE DU FREAK- THE VAMPIRE’S ASSISTANT

Darren Shan just wants to be a normal kid again, but he knows it’s impossible because he was bitten by a vampire. He wishes that his life could back to the way it was but it sadly can’t.  Darren now has to live his life as the assistant of his leecher(Mr Crepsley.) The agreement was that if Darren became a vampire he had to follow his masters paths and he did. He learned many things such as controlling speed, learning how to hunt for his life source from animals (he needs blood) and how to use his super human abilities such as super strength. In the beginning Darren hated being a vampire, but after he learned that being on isn’t as bad as it seems. He continues his life depressed, but continues to learn new things everyday. He meets new people and makes new friends. Finds a circus and considers it to be his new home. His new family are the FREAKS!!!

So I was a lonely boy. I had no friends. At school. I would stare at all the boys and girls, but no one would talk to me.

"Is it my hair? I would ask myself.

And I would go home, look at a mirror and grab my long black hair.

"Hmph... I just don't get it. What's wrong with me?

The next day I go back to school.

I would stare at the boys and girls thinking, I tried smiling at them and showing off my new "COOL KID KICKS", but they wouldn't even glance at me.

"Is it my nose?" I would ask myself.

And I would go home, look at a mirror and grab my little tanned nose.

"Hmm.. I just don't get it. What's wrong with me?

The next day I go back to school.

I would stare at the boys and girls confused.

"Why can't I make friends like them? Why am I always alone?"

Then "She" passed by. Talia. The prettiest girl in class. She was funny, cute and full of energy. She was every boys dream. And from all the darkness in my heart, she showed me the light. I thought to myself (Wow. She's amazing! If only she knew about how  felt about her) But when she walked by I would just blush and look away. I knew I could never get someone like her.

So one day the teacher was giving us a review on what would be on our next test. Talia decided to sit next to me in class and i felt my heart beating a mile a minute. She looked at me then smiled. I smiled back then thought (why did she smile at me) Is there something on my face? Did I do something dumb. I told a really bad joke and thought I was dumb for saying it, But then she said. "That was cute." And my face went numb. "Cute...?" I said carelessly.
"Yeah." She responded.

At the end of class we started talking and loved being around each other. After that we never separated and had you two.

"So that's how you met mom dad?" My daughter asks.

Yeah. Pretty much I reply

"That's a pretty lame story dude." My older son says.

"Not as lame as your face..." My daughter replied back quickly.

Then Talia bursts in and yells

"WHO WANTS COOKIES?!?!?!?"

And everyone runs to the kitchen in joy.

But he smiles at me and gives me a hug for no apparent reason. My daughter joins in and hugs me as well. Then we all look at a picture of my wife; their mother. The woman who died giving birth.

CIRQUE DU FREAK

BOOK #1 A LIVING NIGHTMARE.

CRITICAL THINKING QUESTION:

Who has “power” in your text? How does that power get shown?

The Main character Darren Shan, is very interested in spiders. He has a best friend Steve is interested in horror films and comics. They both love scary things and get along great. These children both really wanted to go to the horror show called "Cirque du Freak, but they knew their parents wouldn't let them. In order for them to go they  had to sneak out so, Darren made an excuse to his mom that he is staying at Steve's house and Steve said he was going to Darren's house. Luckily the lie went perfectly. They really enjoyed the show but, Darren was the most fascinated in the spider "Madam Octa." Darren wanted that spider so badly that he stole it and took it back home. Upon arrival, he ran up to his room and put the spider in his hands. The Spider bit him and left a poison in his body. Darren would not survive after that infection. "Mr Crepsley" (The owner of the Spider) came to retrieve it, but then realized that he was bitten. He told Darren that the only way he would be saved, is by being bitten by him. That is when Darren found that he was a vampire. He accepted the terms, and agreed that from that day on he would be his assistant and help him through out the way. He gained, power, speed and agility. From that day on he was a half vampire on his way to achieve full Vamp.
