Dear diary,
Today we lost a dear friend and a future relative. It was Hamir. Phulan is mourning and everyone is sad. The problem is that Phulan will have to marry and Murad is the only male left. Shabanu will be happy about this because she did not want to marry. One day she will marry I know it. My wife may not agree because she always has soft spots for Phulan and Shabanu. Sadly I can not tell the truth about Hamir, he got shot right in the chest by the villainous right hand man of Nasir Muhammad. I will find him one day and he will fall…

Dear diary,
I am happy to say that my daughter’s wedding is nearing. Her mother is obsessed about getting presents and the setup for the wedding. Therefore I am going on a trip to buy all the items that are needed. I am going to the large mall in Rahimyar Xhan. They have all the things needed for the wedding. I’m so happy that we could reach it in time before the wedding otherwise my wife would go berserk. She has been planning for ages. Luckily she made a list otherwise I would never remember what she wanted.

Mamas list of things for the wedding;

Foods
Presents
Chairs
Water
I have to get all these items before moon fall. The mall is large but there are many signs showing one self around. That makes it much easier, Shabanu wants to come with me but the city is huge and she is young. But in any way I will have to leave in the hour.

My Haiku Poem “Island”

22Konrad Maximillian on

Island
On one for my life
And now for some more of time
But it feels different

I made this poem about London and NYC, it’s about how I was on and island (The UK) and then on one for a bit longer (Manhattan) but how I still feel different about my surroundings. I wanted to confuse people a bit and have fun with my poem so they had to think and not just read it. I was surprised by how long I had to think about it to find the correctly numbered syllables for the haiku. A haiku is made of five syllables then seven then five again. It is a classic Japanese way of a good fun poem. One funny one goes like this:
Haiku’s are funny
But they don’t always make sense
Refrigerators
They can be funny but they can also be very sad about someone in someones family who passed away or is very ill.

Muscular system

22Konrad Maximillian on

In Science Marlo, Konrad, and Oni have been studying the muscular system. Part of that is tendons. We learned about them from Wikipedia.

The structure is:
It’s shaped like gum so it can move with the muscle and the bones.
Tendons have been traditionally considered to simply be a mechanism by which muscles connect to bone, functioning simply to transmit forces. This connection allows tendons to passively modulate forces during locomotion, providing additional stability with no active work. However, over the past two decades, much research focused on the elastic properties of some tendons and their ability to function as springs.

Who The Heck Are You

My Letter

On February the ninth we wrote a letter to the person we wanted to interview. My letter was to Freddie in DMX6. The reason I wanted to interview him was because he is from England where I am from.

My Questions
For the letter we had to make ten questions that are of interest to us. Mine were based around from my theme of England. Questions like where he was from in England and how he felt moving.

My Interview
In my interview I asked all my questions and some follow up questions to Freddie’s answers.

My Step Two Doc
After this we had been given a document on how our letter should go and a space to plant ideas. You can look at in here:

My Final Piece
For our final Who the heck are you we made our interview with three to six of our questions in there. Here is mine:
Final “Who the Heck are You?”

My Plague Letter

22Konrad Maximillian on

Lately in class we composed a letter in the medieval times about the plague. I liked my letter a lot particularly my character who was a medic about to die of old age not the plague. He was asking a man named Earl who was a witch doctor from Braemar in the mountains from scotland. This person was actually Harvey from JJL6…

October 13th 1349

Dear Earl,

I hope all is well in Braemar, for us in Dundee it feels the apocalypse is among us. As you know you are lucky to live in the mountains seeing as the vile spirits do not manage to get up there because of the cliffs. As you might remember I am old and on my deathbed. Being a sterling doctor of high popularity and helpfulness for the plague many people are scared that when I pass there will be no one to help them. As you know my son would normally be my second chance as a medic but sadly he has joined the flagellants. As you can tell it’s not going well for me and the smallest favor would help. As an old friend and poor man, I ask of you but one thing. To come join the dying folk’s and save them from their tragedy or at least give them the pleasure of dying in peace.

The death, buboes and weakness have driven the people to hysteria. My poor son Henry Moore is in such frenzy, he has whipped himself to the state that he is finding it hard to walk. He thinks all people are sinned if they have the plague and does not realise it is a desease ready to wipe out mankind from the face of the earth. My wife, Faye Moore, is the one who received the plague. I treated her and mended her the best I could, watching the ooze drip from her buboes, she lived in this tragedy for eight days (which was a very long time if you had the plague) not seeing her son. That led Henry to join the flagellants, not out of insensibility, but out of dysphoria and depression. I tried to save her with all my might but that wasn’t enough.

My friends have been impressed by all the work I have done for them and the villagers but they know what I am nearing and know about you and how you could help them save them and protect them. And don’t worry about how good you are as a medic I know that you heal people with small illnesses and that is nothing like the black death so when you come here, if you do, I will teach you all I know from by teachings. My mentor did not only teach me he also taught me to teach so I will be, maybe not the best, but a good abecedary to you. And this, this out of all reasons is why I want you to come here and save what has been thought as the impossible to restore.

Best regards
John Moore
