English Rowdy & Junior Friendship

Phase One:
Rowdy and Junior’s friendship starts off solid, they've been best friends since they were born and they
consider each other brothers, they protect each other from the horrible things in their worlds,
Rowdy protects Junior from all the bullies, he helps his confidence and makes him tougher,
he tells him the truth and gets Junior through tough times. ‘“It’s not like anybody’s going to notice if you go away”
he said. “So you might as well gut it out.” this is something Rowdy says to Junior after his dog has to be shot,
this shows the type of relationship between Rowdy and Junior. Junior helps Rowdy in a different way,
he lets Rowdy come around to his house nearly everyday to get away from his abusive father and he takes
his mind off all the horrible things in his life by reading comics with him and making him laugh.
They do this to on instinct, they've done this their whole lives, supporting each other and making each other
feel safe and happy, they share secrets with each other that they feel like they couldn’t share with anyone else
because they know that they could never betray each other.

Phase Two:
In the next stage of their friendship they seem to hate each other, it’s a big jump from being best friends to
not talking at all but their pride gets in the way of them apologising. Rowdy feels betrayed by Junior because
he moved schools and left Rowdy behind, of course Junior didn’t want to leave Rowdy and offered him to
come with him to Rearden but Rowdy’s anger issues got the best of him and he decided instead of accepting
Junior’s decision he lashes out and makes Junior feel scared and small therefore not wanting to be
around Rowdy. Since Rowdy refuses to go around to Junior’s house he gets beaten more often by his father
leaving him angry and hurt and trying to bottle all his emotions up. Junior is effected in a different way,
he doesn’t have Rowdy to stick up for him anymore and he loses a lot of his confidence which makes
it even harder for him moving to a new school, he doesn’t go out in the Res anymore because he’s scared of
being beaten up and called a traitor.

Science - Periodic Table Story

The Waikikamukau kid mounted his trusty house, old gold.
He strapped his shooting Iron to his side and headed out from the bright Neon lights.
He was determined to rob the stage of it’s precious Uranium load. He inhaled a deep
breath of Oxygen and coughed on the Sulphur from the nearby factories. It was really hot, the Mercury was rising. He took a drink of Water and spat as he tasted the Chlorine.


He rode north, his bones aching from Calcium deposits built up from the years of riding the Zinc trail. Overhead he saw a Helium balloon in the sky. Soon he spotted the stagecoach. It was guarded by an old sheriff with a Tin badge. ‘Stop’, the kid yelled, ‘or i’ll fill you full of Lead.’ The sheriff went for his gun but was too slow. Kid’s gun blazed like flaming Magnesium and the Copper fell to the ground. Anyone who drew on the kid should have known his life wasn’t worth a plugged Nickel. A pretty Platinum blonde on the stage screamed as the Kid pulled out some Nitrogen compounds to blow the strongbox.


Suddenly a shot rang out. ‘Hi ho Silver’. A masked man on a white horse raced across the Silicon sand like Sodium skittering on water. ‘ There’s a Radon,’ he cried. The Kid was captured and was put behind Cobalt Steel bars.
