FAME … the musical

This  year at school we are doing a production on FAME the musical. I auditioned for it, just to see what it was like and for the experience. About a week later the results were up! When I looked to see who got callbacks my name was there! I was soo excited because the year before I did the rock eistedford and I really enjoyed that, I didn’t know what the production was going to be like! I was one of the dancing chorus. It’s been alot of hard work, going to all day practices, staying after school and singing lessons. Although it’s alot, it is really fun, my friends are in it which makes it even more enjoyable to do. One of the best parts was when we got our t-shirts! They are black with red writing and a picture of Ashley’s outline when she was doing a slipt leap, they look awesome! We all get to wear them on days when we have practice as part of our uniform. We have alot of talented singers at our school that are in the production, and I know it is going to turn out fantastic! It’s only a few weeks away now, everyone is really excited! I am nervous at the same time though, we have to perform it three times on three different nights. I can’t wait!! “I’m gonna live FOREVER”

Hope to see you there ……..

Book review

The book I am reviewing is called Chinese Cinderella. It’s about a little girl growing up in China and what she goes through and how badly she is treated and all she wants is someone to love and accept her. The gener is in the 1800’s. i think =) This book is a real story, it happened to the writer herself. I found this book very sad and meaningful. Adeline Yan Mah wrote this touching book she has also written ‘Falling Leaves’ and………… Adeline Yan Mah was the main charactor and her famil she had three brothers, one sister, one step sister, two step brothers, an evil step mother, a father and her mother died when Adeline was born. It was her llife or her mothers, everyone blames Adeline for theloss of their mother this is why she is treated so badly.

I think this book would best suit children from the ages 13 to 16 years old. Because it is a serious book, I think teenagers would understand it better.

Some different reviews are:

“I think that this book is really inspiring to me because the book makes you think and You wonder how it would feel to be in her shoes. The worst part is that it is still happining today that women die after giving birth and if the baby dies and has older sibilings or family they look at you very differently and say ” o thanks alot you killed our only mother” or ” if it wasn’t for you our mother would still be alive ” and it makes them fell bad I mean it would make me feel really bad. and to tell those people who have lost there mother at birth to read this book Thank You!!!”

“Chinese Cindrella is one of my favorite books!! This book was so touching and I would recommend it to everyone especially teenagers. When I finished reading the book, I would think about the unwanted people in this world, the orphans. I was so proud of Adeline, how she didn’t give up all the day through childhood. In the contrary, she fights for her attention by being the top of the class every week.”

I rate this book 10 out of 10! I absolutly loved it!

Overall I believe that this is one of the BEST books that I have ever read, it is so sad and touching at the same time. It acctually happend to the author herself, a real life story. I have reaad the book at least 4 times and never get sick of it. I strongly reccomend this book!!
