CRITICIZING THE WORLD
Welcome to an all new criticizing the world!
In this issue I will:
Criticize a book: Catcher In the Rye.
The author of the book is: J.D Salinger. This book was written in 1947 and 1948, this is my personal favourite book, and I think this author’s style has really inspired me. This book is very original and so modern, that I was actually very surprised it was written as long ago as 1948.
This book is about a boy called Holden Caulfield, it is written in the first person and explains a story about his everyday life, he escapes from his school, becoming tired of everything and being mad because he will get expelled, and he doesn’t want his parents to find out. Once he is in the city he uses up his money, gets in a hotel and goes around meeting up with old chums. In the book he even got in a fight with his roommate, who started dating Holden’s old friend, when he talks about her you feel what he feels about her and your emotions go to your head, this is written in such a unique and original style, and reads so well, in certain moments of the book, you get overfilled with emotions, either happy or sad, and I think this is what true art should do to you, The character explains all about his family on random parts of the book, the book is so beautifully written, and is world famous among young people and teenagers.
The boy gets all sorts of ideas to go away into the country, but later realizes that he is thinking gibberish. In the book nothing really goes how you might expect to go in a book, that is what makes it very original. This book is really hard to write about and to experience the emotions and the engrossment in the book that I felt then you should read it yourself, because you won’t be able to put it down.
J.D Salinger is a very good author and you should read his other books.
I give this book a five star rating!!

Book Review- Storm Catchers
Storm Catchers - Tim Bowler
The kidnap shocks the whole family. When Ella is snatched away from her family in the middle of a storm Fin will never forgive himself for leaving her on her own. Not only is the kidnapper a total freak but also Ella’s little brother Sam keeps running out to the cliff to ‘catch the storm’. As the kidnapper’s plans unfold the whole family is forced to confront their deepest darkest secrets.
This book was a great read; I never wanted to put it down! They really make the characters seem real and you can see them and their surroundings in your imagination. This is an excellent example for do not judge a book by its cover because the cover is just three stick men. I give this book 5 stars. You can find it in our school library.

Book Review- Thief
Thief is about a twelve girl called Lydia who had just moved to another town. But nothing goes as she has planned. The school cup has gone missing and is found in Lydia's locker, but not just that. Lydia’s new life is filled with problems. How is she going to prove she is innocent?I think this is a great book with lots of excitement and action. I think they describe the characters well and make them seem interesting. I would give this book four and a half stars. You can find it in our school library.

Camel Spiders
CAMEL SPIDERS
Camel spiders, also known as wind scorpions, are actually not spiders or scorpions. They are a different type of Arthropod called Solipugids. They are known to be the fastest of the Arthropods. They usually hunt at night and hide during the day, using their large pincers as a shovel to dig for shelter. Camel spiders can be up to six inches long. There are about 900 species of camel spiders. The unusual thing about a camel spider is that they scream while running after attacking humans. Their bites are not poisonous but hurt a lot!
They can run at about 10 Miles per hour. They are mostly found in the deserts of the Middle East. They can also jump several feet in the air. The wind scorpion is also called a camel spider because it feasts on the stomach of Camels. U.S soldiers were said to have been attacked by camel spiders at night but did not notice and found chucks of their flesh missing in the morning.

Country of the week - America - Democrat or Republican
Democrat or republican?
The country of the week is America.
Are you a Democrat or Republican? Well if you’re rooting for Obama then you’re a Democrat, or McCain, then you’re a Republican. Democrat or republican?
Recently Obama has been leading by 5%. McCain has 125 safe electoral votes, and 75 leaning electoral votes. While Obama has 160 safe electoral votes and 63 leaning electoral votes. The amount that is needed to win is 270 electoral votes.
McCain thinks that Obama does not show leadership. The McCain campaign put out a commercial ad saying on the screen “Obama and his liberal allies? Mum on the market crisis.” On the screen beside a picture of Obama it says “No leadership. A risk your family can’t afford!” The Obama campaign says that McCain is the one that doesn’t show leadership.
More polls show that voters think Obama
will do a better job handling the economic crisis that is going on right now, than McCain. McCain is trying to convince the voters differently; by pointing out he has already laid out a plan. Who do you think will win? Who do you want to win? Election day is coming up on the 4th of November. Let’s hope the Americans make the right choice!

Criticizing the world 2
CRITICIZING THE WORLD AGAIN
As you might have already guessed, criticizing the world isn’t just a title, its not just about criticizing video games, movies or things like that. The title is really about criticizing the world and the problems in it.
Todays topic is going to be quite a risky topic and note that I do not mean to offend anyone’s views on anything, as a critic, I quite happily receive criticism of my own.
The topic is going to be the modern music of the 2000s, I do not want to say that all the music being manufactured is bad, but the ones they hype out on the radio is not about the music or the art but all about the money, the fame and selling themselves out. Modern music such as rap does not make me happy and is NOT music, it’s a bunch of high gangsters that try to be cool by singing swear words and then getting famous for it, some of these people get so much money that they don’t even deserve, while those who do deserve the money are living in poverty.
I am saying all this for a reason, the reason that this music has affected all the minds of young people. The music I think should be on the radio is the music that deserves the listening of the majority of people but not the music that they pay great loads of cash to air, the music was good back in the 1960s, 70s, 80s and maybe even 90s. Back then the music was all about the art and not about the money, music from such great artists such as Pink Floyd, Depeche Mode, Deep Purple, Santana and dozens more of the bands that did it for the beauty of the art and not for the money. I hope I didn’t offend anyone today, and if you disagree with my views please comment.

WALL-E
WALL-E
I´m going to be reviewing the new movie everyone is talking about, WALL-E.
It has a 97% score from the critics on rotten tomatoes. To find this website, search for ‘rotten tomatoes’ on Google. It’s a really good site if you want to find out how good or how bad a movie is. Even adults think WALL-E is a great blockbuster. When I went to get cinema tickets for WALL-E, The guy at the counter told me that all the tickets were sold out! When I managed to watch it the next day, it was really good! And it had a message in it, and I think it was that we humans can litter the world so much that we have to leave robots to clean up after us, and WALL-E is one of those robots who wants a friend or someone to be with on earth, but only finds a cockroach for company. What will happen, will WALL-E find a friend or will he just stay on earth, cleaning up after humans? Watch the movie to find out!
I think it is good because it’s funny and has an interesting message about our future.

Plane crash: “TERRIBLE DISASTER”
A plane crashed in the airport of International Airport of Barajas, on the 20th of August 2008. The plane had 172 crew members and passengers including 2 babies and 20 children, 153 people died and 19 survived. There was no evidence on how many children died. It was Spain’s worst air disaster in 25 years. Sweden's Foreign Ministry said two Swedes were on the plane. They said one was at a hospital but the other was unaccounted for. As smoke came from the plane, dozens of fire trucks and ambulances hurried to help, lining a nearby road and filling a field next to a row of vegetables. Helicopters flew over dumping water on fires.

A Swedish football player rejected Ronaldinho's marriage proposition!
Swedish football player Johanna Almgren rejected a marriage proposition from one of the best football player in the world, Ronaldinho! "He kissed my hand" says Johanna.
They met in a Chinese hotel when they both were competing in the Olympics. If she didn't want a world class player as a husband, I wonder what kind of husband does she want do have.
Taekwondo headshot!... In the referee!
A Cuban taekwondo fighter got REALLY angry. Angel Matos after he got disqualified by the referees in a bronze- medal fight he got furious. He couldn't control his emotions and he kicked the referee in the face…headshot! The only thing was that instead of a bronze medal on the Olympics he got banned from taekwondo for the rest of his life. Poor guy, but that's what you get when you don't how to lose.

So, beginning this session I don’t even know where to start, this game is so massive. You start out as a Slavic immigrant that has just come to ‘the land of opportunity’ you are expecting to be living the American dream, for your cousin has blabbed about how many women he has, sports cars and mansions, but when you come to one of the small islands of Liberty city, your cousin is living in a one room apartment and nothing is how you expected. At first you start doing missions for your cousins, as a driver, you drive clients and things like that, but your couisin is in trouble, he owes money to some Russian loan sharks and you end up killing everyone that’s against him, soon enough you’re doing drug pickups, shoot outs, killing gangsters and raiding banks. The graphics are the most amazing for a game of that huge size, as you might expect, from a grand theft auto game, you can steal cars, kill people and do crazy things. The great features of this game is that you can meet up with friends, go drinking, eating, to a comedy club, pool bowling, darts or something I won’t list.
This game is one of the best and I rate it:
10/10
AWESOME!!!

The 2008 Olympics Ups And Downs
The 2008 Olympics was both filled with success and scandals. This years Olympics gave 43 world records and 132 Olympic records. Among all these records there were two people who stand out. They were Michael Phelps and Usian Bolt. Michael Phelps won eight medals and all gold. Usian Bolt won three medals and also all gold. Along all this extraordinary achievements there were scandals. If we start with Sweden there was the wrestling scandal. Ara Abrahamian the Swedish wrestler was unfairly treated during the semifinal against Andrea Minguzzi. The judge gave Andrea point because he thought Ara was crawling away from the wrestling mat. But after looking at the videos of this match it was proven that the judge was wrong but they wouldn’t change their minds about their decision. Over to taekwondo we have the Cuban fighter “Angel Valodia” who lost his control and gave the judge a kick towards the face. It hit the judge on the lip. The judge was Swedish.

The 2008 Olympics was both filled with success and scandals. This years Olympics gave 43 world records and 132 Olympic records. Among all these records there were two people who stand out. They were Michael Phelps and Usian Bolt. Michael Phelps won eight medals and all gold. Usian Bolt won three medals and also all gold. Along all this extraordinary achievements there were scandals. If we start with Sweden there was the wrestling scandal. Ara Abrahamian the Swedish wrestler was unfairly treated during the semifinal against Andrea Minguzzi. The judge gave Andrea point because he thought Ara was crawling away from the wrestling mat. But after looking at the videos of this match it was proven that the judge was wrong but they wouldn’t change their minds about their decision. Over to taekwondo we have the Cuban fighter “Angel Valodia” who lost his control and gave the judge a kick towards the face. It hit the judge on the lip. The judge was Swedish.

International News- Spain
International News - Spanish Hot Spots
Since Spain is the country of the month, it’s always good to know the most popular places to visit if you ever happen to be in Spain on vacation.
Spain has some of the planet’s best historic tourism. In the southern region in Spain there are lots of things to do for everyone. Sol Y Nieve has one of Europe’s premier ski and snowboard resorts. Or if you’re up for excitement, then Ronda is the spectacular home of bullfighting, and has a wonderful setting. Seville has the third largest cathedral in the world, and all cities are in good reach of three seaside resorts, Nerja, Malaga, and Torremolinos.
Seville is one of Europe’s biggest tourist attractions. It has been the center of many European cultural events, and it has also hosted a World’s fair.
Ronda is the home for modern Bullfighting, and all the rules were made there. The city is built upon a cliff, and the only way to get there is to cross a bridge 300 ft. above the Tajo River’s riverbed.
The best way to travel through Southern Spain is by rental car, it gives more freedom of where to go. Wherever you choose to go, Southern Spain offers a good bit of history, and a great winter vacation. Also magnificent food or wine (the wine is not for children of course!!!) and all this comes with moderate weather!
