A Most Triumphant Tale 2013

In the production the most triumphant tale I was part of the lighting crew with Ryan, Felila and Jarlan.

Me and Ryan were controlling the right spotlight while Felila and Jarlan were controlling the other side.

We first had to learn how to use the spotlight and it was fairly simple because on the toop was three levers, the first one turned it off and on, the second one was we were told not to touch and the last one was the size which we had to change now and then if there was more than one person like the boys choir and the surpremes.

 By Thursday we pretty much knew every single line that the actresses had to say because we had a script on what and when to put a spotlight on a person. We would have one person wearing the headset and controlling the spotlight so Mrs Mills can tell what coming up through the headset. 

My favorite act was the Motown boys/boys choir because there vocals were really good and they all looked very confident.

The story was about a band called Labyrinth losing all their band members so they travel back to the past and try to find more band members for Labyrinth.

 This book name is Assassins Creed Revelations.

The author is Oliver Bowden.

I chose this book because I have the game and I really do enjoy it. I also I want to visit Italy in the future and in the back of the book it says Italian Words.

A quick summary of this book: Ezio is a assassin in Venice. He is friends with Leonardo-Di-Vinci and Niccolo Machiavelli. He sets on a journey on water with his dads old friend to Rome and Naples to stop the templars from reaching Venice and starting a war. In one of the paragraphs the author has lots of great description”The eagle still wheeled in the sky. A pale blue sky, bleached by the sun” When you look at the book it seems really boring but its worth the money because you can't judge a book by its cover.

Pouakai the Man Eater

This book is about giant bird who comes into the village and a man who tries to kill it. The man who tried to the bird name is Ruru. Ruru is a pro bird catcher and he provides the food for the village. Ruru was a brave man and everyone in his village had lots of respect for him.

One day some of the men that collect cocoa beans for the village got taken by the mighty huge Pouakai bird, some of the men came back to the village and some were taken by Pouakai. Ruru had to fix this problem so he decided to get a group of strong villagers and try to defeat the mighty Pouakai. I liked this book because it was easy for me to visualize where and what was going on, also the author of the book described Pouakai very well. The title of the book was very important because I could tell what type and how the book was going to be.

Altogether the book was very good. I’d like to read other stories from this author because of what types of novels he writes and that we writes NZ stories.

Assassin's Creed Revelations

This book is a story about a normal person who is an orphan and became an assassin. He is now friends with Leonardo Davinci Shakespere. He is travelling by sea to kill all the templars so they don’t take over france.

This author has used very good detail (The sea crashed into the boat like a rabbit trying to get a carrot.) This book also has some french words in the back so if you don’t know what something means you can learn a french word. If you like history and action this is the book for you.

I’d like to read other books from this author because its not only a fiction story but its a history and information book. This book made me think back in time to visualize the setting (The eagle flew over the mossy crowded castle.) I would rate this book 4 out of 5 because of the different style of book than a normal book.
