Alex Rider Series: EAGLE STRIKE


A new year, a new book, this year's book is the same series like the one I read last year. Its the Alex Rider series, and it seems to be my favorite book series. this book is even more explosive and more thrilling than the one before. This book will grip you with suspense, daring and cheek. Prepare for action scenes as fast as a movie.

It all started in the South of France. The reluctant MI6 agent, Alex Rider had a beautiful relaxing day in the beach tanning and sweating because of the brightness of the morning Sun. Beside ALex was his friend which is a female named Sabina

pleasure. In the middle of a beautiful sunny day, a Russian contract killer, Yassen Gregorovich was standing in a luxurious, white yacht. Yassen was with his 3 men and Alex knew he was the man who killed his uncle. So Alex followed him and and he knocked out one of Yassen's men. Yassen saw him and cuffed Alex's hand with power. Yassen wanted to kill him but he decided to throw Alec to a bull fight. Alex succeeded the fight and Yassen and his men went away.

The next morning, Alex and Sabina took a walk and in no minute, a bomb had exploded in Alex's hotel. Sabina's mother was fina but Sabina's father wasn't fine. In another hand, Sabina's father is a journalist. Alex went inside the ruined hotel and he saw a piece of Sabina's father's work and it talks something about Damian Cray's secret meeting. Alex was exceedingly curious and he's forced to ask MI6 for questions about Damian Cray. Smithers, the gadget-provider gave Alex a bicycle for his mission. Bike pump-smokescreen, headlamp-magnesium flare, handlebar-missile ejection, trailrider jersey-bulleetproof, and magnetic bicycle clips. Damian Cray had just released a new video game and Alex will be the first one to try it!

Recounting Jakarta Post Article

Jakarta Post Article:

PAKISTAN: Police say a train has hit a school bus at an ungated railroad crossing in Pakistan's east, killing eight children and the bus driver.
Police official Mohammed Farooq says 12 children also were injured in Wednesday's collision near the Punjab province town of Mian Channu. Some of the injured were in serious condition. There were no known casualties on the passenger train.

My Recount of the Article......
In Pakistan, Wednesday near the Punjab province town of Mian Channu, a tragdey exceedingly bad had occured. Pakistan police said,"A train had collided with a school bus and 8 children died including the driver. This happened because the railroad wasn't closed crossing in Pakistan's East".
A high official policeman, Mohammed Farooq says,"12 children are badly injured in Wednesday's collision, location near the province town of Mian Channu. The positive fact is that there were no one who were hurt, injured, or died in the train".
This world is immensely dangerous and we all must be careful. We cannot underestimate anything because everything we do in Earth is to glorify God. Our job on Earth is to get souls for God. We must not be selfish because people have the rights to save their souls.

Those are what we will be focusing on this new unit. We will learn about ancient Rome and a country we choose. Later on, we will make a report of what these 2 countries relate to My Country, which is INDONESIA.
Our Key concepts are:








  1. Causation

Past civilizations have made contributions to our present day societies




We covered some of the tasks we are expexcted to do in this unit. One of them is the poster we must do with our partner. I did mines with Jason and it's about the ancient Hittites. There aren't much info on Hittites but they have a very special character. The other tasks we haven't do is still not due today or tomorrow but next week, and some are due next 2 weeks, and some are due next 3 weeks and so on.




What's most important is TIME MANAGEMENT

a Dream to Be........

Time passes by exceedingly fast, as fast as a cheetah who is eager to have his prey for his meal. Well I've pass a very tough, hardcore year, 2009. But we've started a new year where we can reflect about what we did in 2009 and we leave the bad behaviors we did in 2009 and start a brand new, clean, unpredictable year, 2010. It's called a Happy New Year, so it means that the new year were facing, we must still be happy. Even though we have a lot of homework and summative, we must be grateful because there are thousands of people out there who are eager to have education.

In this new year, I have a dream to be someone. Not like I want to be someone like Johnny Depp. But be someone in the inside. To be a person in the inside. Well, I have a dream to be a person who is clean and also wise. Why? Because, for me, Wisdom is immensely important and I can give evidence to you by giving a verse from the Bible that supports it.
Proverbs 24:5
A wise man has great power and a man of knowledge increases strength.

So why don't you know be grateful because God has given you a new year. Ans why don't you start to reflect on your behaviors in 2009 and start throwing your bad behaviors to the bin and you'll have a new heart for 2010 and with your new heart you can go up to the mountain of God with God.
