Half Fare To Palmerston North by Dorothy Corry

Half Fare to Palmerston North by Dorothy Corry is a story about a boy named Luke. Luke’s parent were separated. Luke’s mum lived in Palmerston North with her partner.  Luke was living with his father, things were not going so well since mum and dad separated. When Luke got home his dad was angry at him because he was concerned about his behavior at school ,and dad hit Luke with a magazine on his head and Luke was shocked, then Luke said”I’m moving out”. Luke was going to Palmerston North.

The problem was solved when dad came to apologize for what he had done, and Luke had apologize too for leaving home. I like this story because it interesting and it  was hard to look for answers in the story, and that what makes it more interesting for me.

A Natural Act

A Natural Act by David Hill

A Natural Actor by David Hill is a story about a little girl named Tanya who was frightened of going on the stage to perform a play. When it was Tanya’s turn to go on the stage,  she started coughing so Mrs Yee tried to blend in to the play to give Tanya some coughing lollies to stop the coughing.

Suddenly Tanya started to have hiccups and the audience laughed, because they must have thought it was part of her act. The problem was solved by Mrs Yee when  Tanya was given  some coughing lollies.

I liked this story because it was funny and the audience thought that the cough and the hiccups were part of her act.
