I watched a short film called Newboy and I really enjoyed it because of how much I can relate to it. It is about a kid from Africa named Joseph goes to an irish school where it is a total change for him.
I think the short film was very good because of how I can relate to it.I know what it is like to be a new kid in school and not know a thing that is going on in that school. I was just like Joseph because I would not talk with anyone for awhile because I knew no one. I would be just like Joseph when he sat in his desk in the movie and did not even bother talking with anyone. I wonder if Joseph has been to any other schools before? I have been to so many different schools in my lifetime so far. I don't care what people say going to all these different schools is not easy because of all the friends you made in the old school and now you are leaving. I remember when Joseph had flash backs of talking with his friends and I had flash backs of my friends as well such as talking with them.
Why do people always pick on the new kid? This question is what has been around a long time with no definite answer. I remember when just like Joseph I was treated a little different at some schools I went to such as like in the film people bother you for no reason when you are just trying to fit in. I remember when it was lunch time I would mostly keep to myself by sitting by myself. The first thing I did was find a table and sit by myself in order to observe others.
Overall, this little film was very good because of how someone who has been to a new school can relate to Joseph. This short film would be best shown to those who need someone to relate to who has been from a familiar environment to a totally different one.

March reading report
I am now doing my reading report for the month of March. The one and only book I read was the book Dragon Champion by E. E. Knight and it was a really great book. The book was a total of 597 pages and I now want book two now.
The book Dragon Champion begins with a baby dragon just coming out of it's egg. And I think baby dragons are so cute with their big eyes just staring at you. Anyway, the baby dragon is a grey dragon who was named Auron. I have never really heard of a dragon that is gray and scaleless before but I still think it is cool because I would wonder what a dragon without scales will look like. The just born dragon Auron already had to defend himself when one of his brothers a red comes to take the egg shelf. I think the egg shelf is where the strongest sibling of a dragon clutch goes to show dominance. Auron's brother tried to come up after him but fails and then we then get to meet Auron's parents. His father's name is AuFel and his mother's name is never mentioned throughout the book. I wish I could have known the name of his mother because you think they would both be important. Auron also had a sister named Wistala and another named Jizara. One day Auron's father AuFel shows him a storage of gold and treasure he has had for I guess a few years.
One day Auron hears a boot hit water and there is a group of dwarves with weapons and he sees his copper brother who had lured the assassins to the lair. I thought what and ungrateful little brat to bring people to kill his own family. Auron manages to escape the dwarves and go find his mother but he was not fast enough because the dwarves beat him to his mother. The dwarves beat him and manage to kill his mother. I know what it is like to lose your mother it had to be terrible for Auron to realize what happened.
Auron and Wistala are the only one of the sibling dragons to escape and Auron saves his dad when he sends a mental picture of what happened. Auron and Wistala travel for awhile and Auron makes a decision when they hears elves nearby. Auron tells Wistala to go on without him in order to protect her. I was speechless when Auron said he would do that to protect his sister that is so sweet. Auron is later captured by the elves and is sent in this ship where he meets an elf named Hazeleye. In his time in the boat Auron meets two dragons and one is a female named Natastach and the silver is not known until later on in the book. Auron escaped the ship with the help of Hazeleye and goes on swimming through the water. He was about to make it on land when a drake who was not very nice forced Auron on and Auron is saved by swimming dolphins. It seems obvious not all dragons are nice after what that drake did and man I wanted to punch that drake in the face. Auron continues to go find his dad and his sister.
Auron later ends up in a group of ships and meets someone named Naf who helps Auron escape. Auron goes on and meets a pack of wolves who welcome Auron in when he defeats one in a battle. The wolf pack is called the DawnRiders and they escort Auron through the forest that is in his way. Auron carried on and later comes across a dwarf named Djer. The two of them become very close friends as Djer tells Auron about the charted dwarfs, who are a group of wealthy traders, and thanks to Auron helping with a trade and Djer becomes a member of the charted dwarfs. Auron had saved the dwarves trade when some people from another place try to steal everything. Djer tells Auron about a black dragon named NooMooak who lives in a desert. Auron searches through the deserts and meets with Naf again. He has a girl named Heiba who travels and becomes a close friends and together they find NooMooak and learn much from him. Auron sends Hieba back to live with humans and Auron stayed with NooMooak when one day the dragon goes crazy. Auron ran and defeated NooMooak with his smartness. Auron stays in the lair of NooMooak for a few years and is later reunited with Hieba and she and Naf are in love. Hieba tells AuRon(his name changed because he is a full fledged dragon now) about how the queen of the land where AuRon lives wants to see him.
The queen tells of a dragon army and wants AuRon to investigate. AuRon thinks about it and goes to the Isle of Ice where he meets the wyrmmaster who tells AuRon about his plan about the dragons. AuRon meets the dragons blades son and I was shocked because I though it was his dad. I'm sorry I forgot to tell you AuRon had fought his dad years before. AuRon reunites with Natastach and they discuss a plan to escape. When the dragon blade goes to get eggs from a female they attack and win. AuRon fights the silver dragon, his name is Starlight, he met years ago and wins. AuRon and Natastach go to the wyrmaster but the guy kills himself when the two dragons arrive. The book ends with Auron and Natastach having babies and they are getting ready to hatch. I felt happy for them both. I wonder if AuRon will ever see his sister or dad again?
I would recommend this book to anyone who loves fantasy and for dragon lovers. I would also recommend this book to tennagers because a little kid could not read the book.
