The Last Apprentice 2 hours read pgs 125 - 305
Tom and the Spook were to late and the Bane was released. It needed blood to get stronger. If it got stronger then it would forcefully take over peoples minds and make them set it free. Unpredictably Tom's companion Alice was the one who set him free. She let it drink her blood which made it stronger. But she also set it free in return of a gift. She wanted the Bane to protect Tom and her forever and it agreed. It fled across the city plagiarizing towns and ruthlessly killing people just for the sake of it's well being. The spook hated Alice and has always looked for a chance to get her out of the house this was a perfect reason. However this time he was going to put her in a pit. They had a long and ongoing argument but the Spook got Tom quiet by using the line " after all she is a witch."
If I were the spook I would kill Alice. She unknowingly let one of the world's greatest demons and set him on a killing spree. This was practically the twentieth time she disobeyed the Spook's rules and enough is enough. She has benn let off the hook more than could be given. Also this was the second time she let a witch or demon free. First it was Old Mother Malkin and second it was the Bane. The spook has enough evidence to kick Alice out of the house and kill her. The only thing stopping him was that he wasn't so heartless , he hated killing things or witches. He clearly stated that by morning the pit was going to be ready and she was goinbg in. If Tom can't do anything to stop him or run away with her dissapointing everyone then he will have to say goodbye to alic.

Tom ward has found his mom's secret chest. Inside he found all of her divine jewelry and precious possesions. But in that chest he found the key to the basement where his mom never let anyone see. When he opened it he found two feral lamias. He was happy and scared at the same time. He knew that any witch with the least bit of sense would be afraid of a lamia but he was also afraid that they might devour him. Inside the basement he it also revealed anote saying that the lamias would not hurt him that they were his mom's sisters. She also explained that she was a benign witch but used not her powers but for the most good.
If I were tom i would definetely be building an army. I would convince the spook to seek the help of the fellow spook's in chipenden. Once he has two forty eight foot lamias onhis side then the battle is most likely won. But also the pendle witches clan is way past powerful. They are trying to get the maximum amount of witches known to join together to create a final ammendment. If all the different clans join then they can make the fiend or the devil arrive on earth.

the last apprentice curse of the bane pages read 43 minutes read 30.
Tom ward is well known as the spook's last apprentice because he is the last trainee of old Gregory (the spook) . He is by far the bravest of all. He killed one of the most powerful witches in the world just within a few days of his arrival. This time the trouble arrives tougher and stronger than ever. A new evil has come to knowledge by the name of the Bane. It was so powerful that a massive blacksmith had to forge an immense silver gate that no evil can get through.Tom and the spook desperateley begin to gain all the wisdom they can achieve within the total of sixty six days or else it gets free.
If I were Tom I would desperateley begin to learn and take in all the information I could possibly get. The bane knows that Tom is the last apprentice of the most powerful spook ever so it will definetely come for him first. After it extinguishes Tom then all the evil in the world will be free and roam the earth. The spook gives alot of knowledge but doesn't know all so he would have to see the ancient gypsie named old mother malkin.

HW.#57
I believe that high school will be different than middle school.I think so because the work will be way more advanced and the subjects will be very different.Instead of normal algebra and fractions we will have to do more complex work.The subjects will be different because normal high schoolers just have up to three or four subjects a day.
I do believe that middle school will prepare us for high school because over here at the Frederick Douglass Academy it is said that in eight grade you will learn ninth grade work.Also the discipline and training that you learn now will pay off later on.
Something that i want to know about high school is how hard it is. In high school they prepare you for college and it will be tough. Also you will have to take A.P classes if you're smart. Another thing that I want to learn about high school is if middle school's knowledge actually pays off.

Sweet Venezuela
One song that reminds me of a place is sweet child of mine by Guns N roses.It reminds of Venezuela where my dad lives.My dad always played that song in the car and it has gotten stuck into my head from then on.Whenever I here it it always reminds me of him and being in Venezuela.I know I can't forget it because my mom and sister always play it too.My sister has it in her rock cd which she plays 24 hours a day.That song has also inspired my dad and I.He liked it so much that he wanted to learn how to play the guitar because of the amazing solo.I liked it so much that I begged him to get me guitar lessons.My dad and I from then on has been my crazy about the electric guitar.Whenever I hear this song I will always remember him and Venezuela.

The History Of African Enslavement
In 1626 the first Africans were enslaved and and brought to America.From 1626 to the early or late 1700's the demand for slaves were high and rising.People had to meet thier needs so they started to bring in HUGE boats full of enslaved Africans
.New Amsterdam was now almost 40% Africans.The americans took enslaved people especially from africa because they knew of thier special skills.At first they were going to take the native americans but more than half of them died out just on the trip.Africans were known to take massive weather and pain.While enslaved one of the most famous jobs that they ever did was making the huge wall .That was the exact location of where wall street is today.Because of that wall we now call that street Wall street.
While enslaved the africans had a little freedom.The americans had no use of the marsh land beyond the border of New Amsterdam.They let the africans bury thier dead relatives over there.After death the afrricans would cross the dead person's arm over his chest in belief of a safe travel to heaven.Also they would put pennies over the pesons eyes to keep them closed,but as they desease it is said to be bad luck.
The africans had been through alot more hardships than just what i have said but to tell all of the hardships that they have been through it would mean that this essay would go on forever so i shall stop now.For now you have been given a little bit of knowledge of the enslavement of africans.
