Book review - I survived Titanic

 I Survived The Sinking of the Titanic, 1912 (I Survived Graphic Novels):  Tarshis, Lauren, Haus Studio: 9781338120929: Amazon.com: Books

This book is about a boy who went on vacation with his aunt and sister on the titanic. He was constantly getting in-trouble but one night he went out to explore and he noticed that it was freezing cold and that his sister went missing. Him and his aunt went out to look for her they went on the lower part and there was water everywhere they found her and quickly went back up. They noticed there was a lot of lifeboats going down with only women and children. He was taken off the boat and the titanic started sinking. He was saved by his friend and was later taken to the hospital.

Me and my friend Nasili thinks that if you're over the age of 10 then you should read it because there aren't many complicated words and it is really interesting.

Education has changed

 Education has changed dramatically because of COVID-19. Many people enjoy learning virtually from home but others proclaim that learning physically at school is better. I, personally, was infuriated when I discovered the news about Auckland going into lockdown. In my head I was thinking “THIS IS A NIGHTMARE!” and it was.


If you think learning virtually at home is a nightmare if you were in my situation you would think it's hell because if your device is broken, asking your siblings for their devices would be difficult especially if they are “busy.” I enjoyed having a flexible timetable at home, but joining 3 calls a day was tiring especially if you had to beg your siblings for their device. At school we have a rigid timetable meaning we stick to the timetable like glue but that's better than having 3 calls a day.


Anyways, I believe that going to school physically is better than doing school virtually from home.
