Super Summary

Talofa, welcome back to my blog.
Over the last couple of weeks in literacy we have been writing summary's. In reading we read a book. In writing we learnt how we could make our summary/blurb better for the reader. After that we wrote our summary's about the book we read. Here is my summary about the book, Wild Boy.

Brando, felt different than everyone else. He realised he needed to find other ways to make his way in the world. His ADHD and dyslexia made being at school very hard for him. It took Brando a long time to realise that the classroom wasn’t his best fit. He said he was also feeling depressed and stressed. “I fought over everything with my parents he exclaimed.”

Fascinated by a movie he watched, Brando was inspired to live a different life. He decided he would walk around the whole of New Zealand's Coastline to raise money for the Ronald Mcdonald house. There was a lot of things at risk for Brando, things like drowning, injury or even hypothermia. The hole of New Zealand's coastline is around 15,000km. As well as walking on the beach he would face, slippery and sharp rocks also deep rivers.

Aspiring to reach his goal Brando started to train for his big walk. He would not have a pantry to get food from, somethings he could find in the wild to eat are things like berries, worms, and animals such as goats and pigs.”Having to fight for my food taught me a lot about myself” he said. Another thing for Brando was being alone for weeks at a time with no cellphone coverage.

I think that Brando is a great person, also a great leader. He aspired to do things no one else had done before. He didn’t just say he was going to do it he actually did it. At the end of his walk he had raised about $30,000 for the Ronald Mcdonald house. At the end of Brandos walk he came to think of New Zealand as an even beautiful place than he already imagined. He said “ I just want people to get out and do the things they really want to do”.
