The Other Side of Truth

I have just finished a book called The Other Side of Truth for the second time. I believe that Beverley Naidoo has written this book so well. I was crying!
I hope that lots of people are reading this book as it shows that sometimes people must lie, this does not mean that they are bad people. It could be because something bd has happened to a family member and they had to leave straight away!

I hope that you all read this book!

The Other Side of Truth

For our assigment, we have to write an essay. It is called a formal essay. Here is an example of a formal essay paragraph.

Question: Why does Sade feel guilty about hiding the truth when they arrive in London?

Sade feels guilty about lying in London. In hew household in Nigeria, the family does not lie. This was not common, " 'You know how much I hate lying but right now we have no choice.' " (p 16) This shows that her parents loved the truth and she feels that she is betraying them. In Chapter 15, Trouble with the Truth, is where Sade and Femi are being pushed into telling the authorities the truth. Sade does not know who to turn to because she is in a different place, with different people and the people may try to kill her dad or worse. Sade also knows that lying to them could cause more problems! These are some of the reasons why Sade feels guilty about lying in London.

J.R.R.Tolkein

This quote is said by Bilbo Baggins. It creates an atmosphere where the hobbits are very simple and they cannot comprehend it!

I don't know half of you half as well as I should like; and I like less than half of you half as well as you deserve!

Can you get it out of what Bilbo is saying? I can't!

About the books

I love reading.

I am reading The other side of truth (for the second time).
It is about Sade and Femi. Their mother is killed and their father always writes the truth. It is about how they have to survive in London. When they are meant to meet Uncle Solaja, he has disappeared to! How will they survive? Read the book to find out!

Brisngr!
Brisngr is the third in the series of the Inheritance Cycle. It is about Eragon and his dragon Saphira must fight for their lives for the Varden to over run Galbatrox. (spelt incorrectly). If they succeed, they will become known in history, if not, Galbatrox will rule the kindgom for ever more. But, will all of the promises that they have made, how can they keep them all?

Diana Wynne Jones (Author)
The Merlin Conspiracy
The Homewood bounders
A tale of time city
These books have captured by heart. They are so entrancing and I want to read them again and again!
Diana also wrote my favourite book Howl's Moving Castle, and there is a movie! I would recommended this book to any person who loves adventure, the unnatural and the extrodinaty! I hope that you take my advise!

I hope that you will read some of the books that I am reading!

A Quote from Christopher Morley

Read, every day, something no one else is reading. Think, every day, something no one else is thinking. Do, every day, something no one else would be silly enough to do. It is bad for the mind to be always part of unanimity.

Books

Over the School Holiday's, I read many books.
1. The Master of Books
2. The Book from Baden Dark
3. The Puberty Book
4. Eagle Strike
5. City of Bones
6. City of Ashes
7. Maximum Ride The Final Warning
8. MAX A Maximum Ride Novel
9. Eragon
10. Eldest
11. White Tiger
12. Mister Monday
13. Grim Tuesday
14. Drowned Wednesday
15. Howl's Moving Castle

All of these 15 books that I read over the holidays are all completely different. Many people should realise that there are many different authors and some of them have been made into a movie.
Books bring joy to my life and I hope that people read for the enjoyment, NOT, because they have to!
