A Field Trip

Our school usually gives us boring field trips that we would be happier without. They seem to have no idea what children enjoy and what they don't. For example, students would prefer a zoo to a one room museum. And the school prefers the museum since it is more cheap. Miserly officials ruin the children's amusement.
Finally, tomorrow we will be taken on a field trip to an Agricultural College. I didn't even know they existed, so it will be interesting. I hope much more than the single room museum.  I hope they grow some veggies there! :)
Still, we cannot ignore the fact that the school chooses destinations that prove to be of no use. Instead of spending money on sporting events like VIVA, we can spend more money and go to the Katraj Snake Park instead. I hope someone reads this and spreads the message!

Writing Tip: Humorous

Alright, we're done and through with Non-Fiction. It's time to have some fun. The thing I appreciate about fiction is the fact that you can do absolutely anything you want, making up creatures or such along the way.
Many people like to be humorous, and this influences their writing. I'm not good at it, bt here's my best example:

"Merlin would have never chosen anyone on the streets to be his disciple. He was known for his vast amount of knowledge and his strict rules, but the things folks really missed out on were his horrible looks, and his terrible memory. Let me describe how he looks: He had HUGE buckteeth that were black from cavities, a result for not brushing for the last millennium or so. In other words, he was HIDEOUS. He even had glasses, and his poor eyesight forced him to buy glasses that covered most of the room. I, however, was able to convince him to get contact lenses, as I was sick of getting smashed into a wall when I entered. I was chosen as people knew I had some sort of magic and demonstrated it in terrible ways. The trick I played on Merlin was stuffing him inside a beautifully decorated bird cage with gold, rubies, emeralds, sapphires, and pretty much all other precious gems on it. It was made totally of mana, and of course, whenever Merlin touched the bars, he would get zapped by an electric current. I fainted right after making it as it needed a lot of energy. When I woke up, I saw an old bird with a beard inside a cage that needed to be opened. I opened it, and my reward was a crabby old man swearing at me.

                “You insolent young fool! What do you think you were doing, eh?”"

This is from my story The Warlock of Hertia which you can read at my other blog.

Here's another except:

               "I am quite sure none of you readers have experienced being a lizard trying to fight its way out of a bird’s beak, so you wouldn’t very understand how it is. Very well, I will do my best to explain it to you.

                Pink surrounded me- pink, a revolting pink with the lights and shadows of a throat. I wiggled my tail, and the bird coughed, to reveal I was nearing the top of the tower, hundreds of kilometers from the ground. I suddenly didn’t want to escape.

                The bird halted, seemingly on solid ground. I switched to Phoenix Aspect, ripped open my host’s body, and glimpsed Draken."

And another: "Now the loud sound of a tower crashing down is enough to wake up anyone, even if they are sipping a sundae and reading their favourite book. Draken woke up to see why the birds were chirping in the night and realized that the chirping was actually his tower crashing. His hearing was THAT bad.

                A dragon does not like to see a person and would rather prefer to see them being cooked. But a dragon especially does NOT like to see a person who looks like an old hag after they nearly escape death. For them, well, they should look at a mirror and die of shock. Draken looked like he had gone to an amazing ugly parlour and they had done revolutionarily well. He looked like an old hag multiplied by twenty. If he looked at a mirror, it would kill him and the organisms around him…. looks can kill, in this case."

Hope you got the idea!
