Narrative about 'The blue Donut who climbs Mt Everest.

The Blue donut who climbs Mt Everest

Once Upon a time, there was a  blue donut who wanted to be the best like the other kids in his class because he was always the one who gets left out. He thought about how he was gonna do something to impress the other kids but he thought about nothing.  His friends were so intelligent and smart but all he was to others was trash.  He didn’t like it at all.

One day, the blue donut thought bigger than he can ever imagine and then it hit.  He imagined he was climbing something so high he touched the sky.

I had this site called

Adventure Story Starters: Writing Prompts. 

this site helps you to write a narrative by giving you a 

tittle and the title it gives you, 

you have to write about and this is what I got told to write. It may sound a bit 

weird but 

I just decided to do it. 

Why is Facebook so popular?

Why is Facebook so popular?

Have you ever wonder how facebook became popular? It is a way of contacting your families or friends. Facebook is a social network site. On facebook you can see other peoples stuff like their photos, statuses, their friends and what they have written about himself.

Its fun on Facebook because you can skype your friends that you haven’t seen in a long time. We can post up statuses about what you did or what you want to do. You can also post selfies of yourself or with friends.

Facebook can sometimes be good for reading because of the statuses people have been writing about and how you chat. You can also write on other people pages.  You can like others photos and comment on your friends posts.

Facebook can be used to play games. Some of your friends could be playing the same same game but a different level, so its more like having a challenge against you and your friends.

Being on facebook can be something to do like chatting, posting, liking and many other things.
