Write a description of the magical carpet (200 words):
Against the bleak, mismatched backdrop of the sullen oak floor – a flamboyant carpet lay elegantly as a peacock’s tail spread in full display. It was blazing with an ebullient crimson, embellished with picturesque patterns dancing in synergy; a melody that swirls defiant and never ageing. Puffs of ocean blue, enchanted with an essence of teal convoluted with patterns as specks of deep, rich mauve danced ecstatically upon the ebony borders. Velvet stripes reached like ribbons of ambiguous twilight, grasping at the heart of the embroidery like a raven clutching onto a worm. Yet despite the simplicity and beauty, within the elusive core of the tapestry lies an unevoked tale lost to the annals of time, an enigmatic expanse of the story of bygone eras. Abandoned in the bleakness of the dwelling, it’s shrouded in the heavy fog of mystery; its presence and coming scattered like sand in the wind. Despite this, its vibrant colours endlessly swirl, defiant in the ageing of time; like a revolutionist’s indefatigable, unyielding determination. The carpet, reminiscent of a riot of life amidst the stark expanse of emptiness, stands as an oasis in the greedy grasp of the forsaken residence. In this desolate space, where the silence is almost palpable, the carpet’s vibrancy stands in stark contrast—its presence is a quiet defiance of the surrounding decay.

Deep beneath the city, in the perpetual darkness where the light had never ventured, Aiden stumbled upon a concealed door that emanated an unsettling, azure glow. Through the minuscule fissures of the massive steel door, a cerulean light spilt forth, hinting at an otherworldly realm that defied his understanding. The light bathed the ominous chamber in which it resided, casting flickers of phosphorescent blue across the weathered walls, as if an abstract artist had splattered an enigmatic amalgamation of azure and indigo on a canvas of sombre grey. As the door inched open, a strange warmth enveloped Aiden, awakening a renewed curiosity within him. His eyes glistened with the vitality of someone reborn, like a phoenix plunging into the searing flames only to rise from the ashes, transformed. He was no longer tethered to the harsh, unyielding reality, but instead, drawn toward what seemed to be a phantasmagorical paradise.
Peering into the dreamlike expanse, where colours swirled in harmonious motion and mystical creatures roamed freely through meadows and oceans, Aiden saw a sanctuary amidst an otherwise barren wasteland—Verdant, emerald grasses sprung from the caramel-hued earth, vibrant and alive. The intoxicating fragrance of blooming roses lingered in the air, its sweetness evocative of rich chocolate. At the same time, the sight of the surreal, cerulean sun sent waves of reassurance down Aiden’s spine. Towering oak trees, draped in ancient vines and weathered bark, arched toward him as if beckoning him forward, their presence comforting, While the resplendent songs of birds wove through the air, their fragrant notes danced on his tongue. The land, radiant and expectant, seemed to regard him with eager anticipation, and Aiden, captivated, stood in awe before the breathtaking vision that unfolded before him.

Write a description on the magical carpet (200 words)
The majestic, elegant carpet completely stood against the tedious floor of basic wood. The carpet was infused with rich shades of burgundy with light patterns of fire in a burnt sienna colour. The shades flowed into each other like watercolour, swirling and swirling, but drying without mixing completely. Under gleaming lights, the border showed with a golden glow blinding the eyes of everyone who saw it. At the four corners were beads and pendants. Each one resembled an element. The one at the top right corner was wind. The medallion was lustrous, representing the calming and soothing breeze of wind. Fire on the other hand, contrasted with the wind. Its rugged surface was carved with stone, and was created using wild, ardent colours giving the fiery effect. The bottom left jewel was similar to wind. It shone with an iridescent glow and had many shades of blue and white, representing the tranquil background. The last one was earth, the meaning of life and nature. On the outside was a green sea turtle with delicate carvings and in the glass on the inside was somewhere where life was created. There was soil and small flowers turning it into life.

(200 words) – Deep beneath the city, in the unilluminated darkness where no light ever touched, Aiden uncovered a shrouded door that portrayed a disturbing sinister glow. He ran his fingers against it, wondering what could possibly be hidden behind it. The cedar wood was carved with intricate shapes of all different sizes. He lay his head against the door and imagined what was behind the door. It could be a new adventure, filled with anticipation and courage or it could be an entry to a new family that loved and cared for everyone. He scanned through his history. He remembered when they went to a carnival, eating corn dogs and fries. He reminisced about the time where it was his tenth birthday and they threw him a huge party. He sighed. One day he heard a loud scream and after a few hours there was silence. Then there was a loud slam. That was it. Then his mum left. He thought about the door. Through all the darkness he found that the eerie light was also welcoming. It could be his future, with a new set of loving parents.

Write a description of the magical carpet (200 words):
A slithering snake. A wiggling worm. A soaring sparrow. It was a magic carpet, its borders braided with hay that had been turned into gold with tufts of combed hair sticking out each corner. Under pendant lights, the golden borders framed an exquisite arrangement inside, where time had softened its dyes to reveal subtle variations – blight here, burgundy there. It’s pattern inside its exterior was akin to the glorious Rangoli that were decorated during Diwali; it had been handwoven with the thread from silkworms and dyed with a murex snail’s hypobranchial gland that formed alluring amethyst and azure hues. Golden dust levitated around the picturesque expanse of the magic carpet, as if it was suspended from invisible strings and gave the carpet a paranormal aura and atmosphere. Floating in the air, the musty leatherbound malodour wafted from its threads keeping the keen eyes of onlookers far from the ground. Against the mahogany floorboards, its dense pile absorbed footfalls and gathered shadows, lending the room both gravity and tepidity. Even the crisp selvage edges, pristine despite its years, testified to the weaver’s mastery, each knot contributing to its document of both artistry and time. -193 words
Continuing this story with a beautiful description: Deep beneath the city, where no light ever touched, Aiden discovered a hidden door that pulsed with an eerie azure glow. (200 words – continued) Mahogany wood, he sighed, running his fingers along the bark, like his old home. Testified by years, termites had crawled and dug holes in the door’s wood, shielded by the eerie but inviting glow. Aiden imagined what could be behind the door; it would be his future, a refuge away from the bleak, homeless city above with all its intoxicating fumes and smog hanging densely in the air, blocking all the beacon of lights. He could find a welcoming, loving home again, in another city or countryside, a cleaner one with green that surrounded his house, and have fresh food – food that was not filled with chemicals that made the food look pure. He could find a love again, his old one which was lost in the enveloping smog and perished by the evil smog police for absolutely no reason. Their tongues would be able to breathe in the fresh air and that cerulean glow would be a balance of gravity and tepidity that would guide them to their futures. He would rather be behind this alluring door, in a cleaner Istanbul, Paris, or America. And have a welcoming home

Write a description on the magical carpet (200 words)
The vibrant hues swirled together like melted ice cream, blazing against the rich fabric of the carpet, creating a tapestry of colours that seemed to dance with life under the soft light. The gold lettering had faded a little bit, like a person growing older and older, their memories slowly fading away from their mind. The soft fabric felt like the fur of a rabbit, slowly slipping through the crevices of your fingers as you stroke it. The air around smelt of cinnamon, beckoning you to come nearer. Each tiny fibre seemed to glow radiantly in the light, like thousands of tiny beacons together. The frayed edges stood together, all worn down by time , some more compressed than others. The intricate patterns were like mosaics, each one different from the next, all worthy of being framed in a gallery. Each element of the carpet seemed to contradict another, light and dark colours mixing together, rough and soft tufts of fabric next to one another. Despite the contrasts, everything seemed to belong, as if the carpet had embraced its imperfections, telling a unified story. This carpet had stood against the test of time, each fibre brimming with history and life.

Deep beneath the city, where no light ever touched, Aiden discovered a hidden door that pulsed with an eerie blue glow. The shiny gold knob shimmered in the light, a cerulean glow ebbing from the very core of it. The worn down mahogany the door was made from was like an elephant, the marks resembling the creased old skin. The hinges were rusting away, slowly wearing away like an old man. The keyhole sat below the knob, waiting for when it would ever get used again. As Aiden slowly observed the features of the door, taking in every tiny detail he saw, he felt the sudden urge to try to open the door. Pushing open the door, a kaleidoscope of colours burst in his eyes. Pigments and hues of all sorts covered the land, rainbow trees and bright red grass everywhere. Small, old structures dotted across the land, like spots of white in a colourful painting. Aiden heard the noise of a bird chirping, but he was not ready when a bird landed son his shoulder. It was split down the middle, one side an amethyst purple, the other and emerald green. Everything in this place, besides the houses, was colourful.

1) Write a description on the magical carpet (200 words):
In the creaking old house next to ours, I have always wondered what was held behind the huge oak doors and cream-coloured bricks that looked like a wrinkly, old man’s skin. Finally, my wish came true. One bright spring morning, after a huge storm that wailed like a baby’s cry, I summoned up my courage and pushed through the great big oak doors that smelled like lavender perfume. Once I was inside the cottage house, I was greeted by the waft of a damp cellar. When my eyes adjusted to the darkness, I saw a crimson and indigo carpet with faded, flamingo colours that swirled like melted ice cream. The musty, old carpet slithered throughout the room, boasting its aged beauty, which stood out compared to the dark, wooden floorboards that reminded me of charred coal. The frayed edges showed its history, and the patterns were like intricate artworks in an ancient cathedral. The worn cotton felt surprisingly soft to the skin, showing how well the carpet was made. It also boasted a beautiful glow in the evening sun that shone through the shattered window, making me think it was magical.
2) Deep beneath the city, where no light ever touched, Aiden discovered a hidden door that pulsed with an eerie blue glow. (200 words)
The door loomed over his skinny, bare body, like it was trying to intimidate him as it creaked like an old rocking chair, straining under the weight of a human. The angelic, turquoise blue smoke slid under the bottom of the door, reminding him of the fossil fuels that his city coughed out every day. The door was made up of many types of wood, as a forest is, beautiful and diverse, but still frightening. Surprisingly though, the brass handle was new and polished, standing out like a white dove in a black cage. Many people would say that the door was like the glass in an aquarium, the only thing separating the viewer from the sea life, or in the other case, the world that the door was hiding. Summoning up his courage, he turned the brass handle and pushed the door open. As he opened the door, his breath caught in his mouth. It was beautiful, like blue heaven! There were aqua clouds everywhere, shining a light turquoise on to the world below that was full of sapphire trees and animals.

Against the sombre brunette morose oak floor, an alluring Persian carpet lays, displaying an elegant stunning peacock. It blazes with an effervescent crimson, enhanced with captivating patterns dancing in a unity. The patterns foster a spectrum of vibrant kaleidoscopic colours reminiscent of the ones on the skin of a butterfly’s wing. The citrusy orange scent contrasted with the forest sandalwood fragrance, together creating an aroma people would pay a fortune to smell. The soft mandarin fur, smoother than the smoothest of animals, was a comfy haven to lay on. Rarely when the carpet would have someone worthy sitting on it then and only then would the saffron edges light up and slowly the carpet started levitating. However now its abandoned in a bleak haunted house only used by witches and other mythical creatures. Humans are trying to find any proof if it ever existed and if it does, where is it. So will the humans be able this magical carpet, or will It remain a mystery only known to some?

Deep beneath the city, in the perennial darkness which had never seen light, Aiden stood upon a transpired an unsettling ultramarine glow. From the microscopic interspaces of the massive metal door, a cerulean light pierced through, hinting another dimension, another realm, another world? The light drenched the sinister chamber, casting flickers of vivid cobalt across the rough walls as if an artist had painted the walls blue. As Aiden slowly pushed the cumbrous door open, he felt a feeling he had never felt before, a feeling of warmth which awakened a new curiosity within Aiden. His eyes glistened with inquisitiveness like those of a newborn, looking into the world for the first time. Aiden was no longer required to live in this harsh gloomy reality, but rather in this fantastical paradise. Gazing into this chimerical expanse, where colours spiral harmoniously dancing in a synergy. Emerald green grass sprung from the moisturised Caramel dirt, healthy and alive. The heavenly fragrance of the blooming roses, its sweetness reminiscent of the richest of chocolates. The sun beamed on the endless meadows filled with cherry blossoms, sunflowers, irises and everything a gardener could dream of. Aiden stared in awe, still contemplating that he discovered this breathtaking utopia. He had unfolded a realm which could have been hidden for eons.

Write a description of a carpet. {200 words}.
Against the backdrop of the sullen wood panelled floor, lay an elegant and dominant carpet, a Lyrebird’s tail in full display. Its presence in the museums hall, almost glimmered in the sun. It hung scorching in the sapphire sky, casting palettes of colours, and its weight creaked under the ebony floor like an old man’s back. Its convoluted patterns vivid with shades colours, lavender, mauve, red and orange. Twisting and turning like a sly snake slithering through the woods, its patterns came to life. Dancing like a graceful ballerina, its satin dress was embellished with jewels. Velvet stripes clutching at the heart of the ebullient embroidery, like a rattlesnake coiling around its victim. The soft white fabric, embraced with nylon and flannel, as soft as a puppy’s fur casted tiny ripples through the crevasses of your hand as you ran over it. The air smelt of rich cinnamon and herbs, beckoning for you to come nearer. Despite the complexity of this carpet filled with synergy, each radiant fur glimmered in the pristine sun. Glowing like a thousand flares, each telling an intricate unique unified story. This flamboyant carpet had stood against the test of time, its own bygone, elusive memories-secrets woven into its fibres, waiting to be discovered.

Against the reality of the underworld, Aiden clambered toward the door, his eyes staring at it. Chandeliers illuminated the hallway, constantly flickering. The burnt smoke of tobacco wafted into his nose, as a bilious feeling pulsed through his body. Foul water dropped overhead from the leaking pipes making him gag. Rats and Cockroaches scurried about the wooden pavilion as vines draped themselves on the bars. It had huge metal bars slid over it, and its mahogany carved door loomed over him like an imposing sentinel blocking his way. Its hinges were rusted and creaked like an old man’s bones. A mural decorated on the face resembled, the female god Athena. Embellished with Jewels on a mosaic, his eyes bulged as sweat poured down his face. He pounded two times, indefatigably. He pressed his face to the door; the cold mahogany was like a soothing balm to his soul. Then he noticed a faint azure blue light darting back and forth, blinding through the crevices, amplifying everything in the corridor. He saw an old man sitting at a table through the gap, hunched over a stack of papers, his pupils dilated. Could it be his grandfather? Now, he could hear the droning of the pulse over his breathing…

Deep beneath the city, where no light ever touched, Aiden discovered a hidden door that pulsed with a mysterious, mystical and eerie blue glow. Through the fissures through the oak wood, an aquatic glow broke through, light moving around like it does underwater. As Aiden opened the door, physics was defied as water did not flow out and a set of lapis swimming gear was revealed. The sun above shined with the brightness of a thousand stars, amplified by the glass ceiling. “Atlantis…”, Aiden gasped.
Aidden watched in shock as he scanned the landscape, the door closing behind him. Alabaster walls covered the area with mysterious cerulean crystals lighting it up, drawing power from seemingly nowhere. A small garden lay nearby, its luscious and verdant viridian plants being a splash of colour against the futuristic background. Pools of water painted the paradise, splashes of colour even running through its veins. A statue of the Greek god Poseidon stood in the centre of the city, adding the royal colours of teal and gold to the mix and towering above all the matching guards surrounding it. This city was rumoured to be a myth, a legend by the people of Aiden’s city but here it stood, perfectly preserved and ready for rediscovery.

The Magical Carpet
Lying across the blemished, abrasive wooden floor was a royal vermillion carpet. It had such a glow under the dimming lights, it had a mysteriously mystical aura, proudly flaunting off its elegant pattern. As it glided by with grace, it’s edges told a story rag to riches, the woven borders of hay having metamorphosed into the most luxurious gold, shining with the brightness of the glistening, golden orb in the sky we call the Sun. The sleek yet fluffy crimson coat that provided it warmth sang of generations of richness, silently prowling in a forest of furniture. Lines of amethyst and lapis slithered across the backdrop that was itself, forming a pattern unrivalled by any other. A fragrance of carnelian and jasmine wafted through the air from the carpet, battling the dusty, musty malodour of the mahogany floorboards. You could almost taste a gourmet soup as you look at it, whispering of richness, passion and flavour. Grand symphonies played as people walked on it, notes replacing footsteps and bars replacing paces. Warmth enveloped the chamber it resided in as the carpet worked its magic, creating a bright mist of alchemy that gathered all the dark shadows around the room and eliminated them, a true guardian of the room.

INTERVIEW QUESTIONS:
1. Imagine you are given a large sum of money to improve your community—how would you use it?
If I had a large sum of money, I would improve my community by doing a few things. One of those things are donate some of the money to places that need it. For example, hospitals. Hospitals do lots of things to help the community and to keep people healthy. I would also shop locally. That way I can also support the local community and keep the money in the area. I would use some of the money to buy ingredients to make food that I can give to homeless shelters and other places that need it more than me.
2. How would you handle a conflict with a classmate or teammate?
If I had a conflict with a classmate or a teammate, then I would solve it or could solve it in a few different ways. The way I would solve a conflict can also depend on the type of conflict. For example, if it was a group project and we had to come up with an idea for it and say I wanted to do something but someone else wanted to do something else. I would try and compromise. If we had to build a rover for example, I would say “I think that maybe we can compromise, we can do your design for the rover but change or add a few things,” that way it has both ideas at the same time.
3. If you were asked to teach a class for a day, what subject would you choose and how would you teach it?
If I were to teach a class for a day, I would choose to teach art. I would teach art because I think art is really inspiring as there’s always no right or wrong way to do it. I would teach the class like this: I would first introduce myself and the project that we’d be doing. Next, I would give some tips and pointers on the techniques. Then I’d let them try doing it. I’d also set up like a small help desk so that if the students need help, then they can always come to me. I would tell the students to start packing up 10 minutes before the class would finish so that the art room would be ready for the next class.
WRITING:
The plush, tenuous carpet laid across the wooden floor, as still as the walls surrounding it. The pastel sunsets full of bittersweet nostalgia. It smelled like ice-cream on a hot day. Each worn patch made the once pristine, compacted carpet look more and more blemished. The frayed and rugged edges marked decades of use. Except the intricate geometric patterns made it look more and more like the Notre Dame, the beautiful stained-glass windows. The serpentine patterns drew the eye from one medallion to the other. Making it a sublime sight to see. The carpet is more then meets the eye. It has been passed down from generation to generation. Each woven thread was a piece of their ancestry. It had so much life within it, just like a young child full of energy.
STORY STARTER:
Deep beneath the city, where no light ever touched, Aiden discovered a hidden door that pulsed with an eerie blue glow.
He debated whether to go in or not. He chose to go in. When he walked closer to the glow, the door slowly creaked open. The doorknob came loose, making a loud crash as it echoed through the tunnel. He was scared but yearning for adventure at the same time. He slowly crept closer and closer and when he got to the door his eyes widened. Behind the spooky door was a lustrous city. Aiden thought he recognized it, but he just couldn’t put his finger down where. He walked some more to find even more wonders. On every building was a patch of art. Mosaic tiled woven together, serpentine patterns scaled the walls. Suddenly he realized that he was floating. He was so caught up in the wonderous world that he didn’t realise it at all. He was in a bubble, a colourful one, not one you’d see normally. He shoved, kicked and punched but the bubble didn’t pop. He soon realised why. A school of rainbow fish swam past him gracefully. He was underwater. He wanted to stay here, it was magical. The monuments and artworks were kaleidoscopic, but he knew he had to return home. He finally realised where he was, at why it was so magical. As he walked out the door, the glow slowly faded behind him. He turned around to get one more glimpse of the beautiful city. “Goodbye Atlantis, I’ll be back.”

Interview Questions (100 words each) Imagine you are given a large sum of money to improve your community—how would you use it? How would you handle a conflict with a classmate or teammate? If you were asked to teach a class for a day, what subject would you choose and how would you teach it?
1. If I was given a large sum of money to improve my community I would use a portion of the money to improve facilities and technology in local schools, ensuring that children have the best education possible, in a school where they are comfortable and happy. I would use some of the money to upgrade recreational facilities, like gyms and pools. This will make these places more welcoming, encouraging people to stay fit and healthy. I’d donate the rest of the money to charity, to help people who are in need, so that the community can be a happier place.
2. If a conflict arises between some classmates or teammates, I will take the responsibility to try to settle the dispute. Firstly, I will need to remain calm and kindly ask questions about the argument. After letting both sides have a say, I will politely express my opinions towards the quarrel. I will help to calmly sort out a solution, that will make both the classmates or teammates happy. If I can’t find a solution, I will get a teacher to help solve the argument. Once we have figured out a solution, I will make sure they apologise to each other with respect.
3. If I was to teach a subject for a day, I will teach music. This is because it is the subject I know most about, and have experience teaching it before. It is also because at my school, students are often most unsatisfied with the quality of the music teaching staff. First of all, I will consider all the students’ abilities and interests in the subject. Then I will figure out a plan for the lesson that will suite each student before the lesson start. I will need to make sure that each student is learning as well as engaging and having fun! At the end of the lesson, I will help the students review the material that they have learnt.

The carpet spread its wings on the crevassed mahogany floor, cracks reaching out like ancient scars, as it rests peacefully, deep in a slumber, just as it has been for years and years. Edithcolea grandis and wildflowers warped the flamboyant peacock feathers printed on the velvety leopard-like fur of the fabric carpet as they bloomed. From the burgundy geometric centre, triangles to trapeziums united, stretching out towards the braided dijon borders, loose thread defied the neat stitches, sticking out singularly in every angle. Then, first came the wriggle, a worm yearning restlessly for freedom from the soul of the carpet. Then the flap of a wing, an eagle ready to take flight.
It must’ve been the wind. It must’ve. Magic carpets aren’t real. Yet, as if bubbles had formed underneath the rug, the carpet began to rise, as if someone had cried ‘Wingardium Leviosa’ at it. First a centimetre of the ground, then with a sudden surge, steadily it shot at the plastered ceiling, its intricate patterns and colours catching the light. Then, it was gone. A spec in the sky, a golden trail of thread danced beside the magical carpet in the breeze, as it flapped its wings steadily in the sky taking on its flight. It was alive.

Deep beneath the city, far from the ceaseless hustle, Aiden found himself in a pitch-black alley, staring at a mystical door hidden in a gnarled concrete wall. It pulsed with an eerie blue glow, the only light in the tenebrous street. Aiden squinted at the colossal sapele wood door, its surface lined with fissures and crevices, shrouded in thick dust that swirled in the air. He pressed his forehead against the ancient gateway above a large crack, trying to peer through it, coughing as dust particles filled the air. What lay behind the door? What would happen if he opened it? The questions swarmed his mind.
Unable to resist, his hand trembled toward the doorknob, as if it had a mind of its own. His fingers brushed the cold, rough surface, feeling the splinters dig into his skin. The light intensified, casting shadows around him. A raspy whisper filled his ears, “Open it.”
Aiden’s breath caught then quickened. The whispers grew, demonic voices straining in the air, filling his head with sharp whispers
Without thought, he turned the knob. The door creaked open, as if pulled from a nightmare, revealing a world beyond that Aiden had never seen before.

Interview Questions:
(1) I would personally use the money on housing, and a sort of money for the homeless. By using money on housing, it would take part of the pressure off the high amount that living quaters cost and benefit the community by making it more affordable to sustain a livelihood, as you would be able to sleep without the worry that you may have to leave the sanctum you call home. As for homelessness, the goal would be to decrease homlessness by giving a monthly-subannually wad of cash to them. It would help them afford food and let them be nourished. It would also teach them to save up between the times where they get money.
(2) In the past, I have had some dissagreements, arguements, and fights but as of now, they’ve all been resolved. When I was in K-2 there where year-long conflicts between lots of groups that I was usually in. Eventually, in grades 3-4 we would realise we’re not so different and that we just need to see this from their prospective. As of now, I try to stay out of the many (and I mean many) conflicts in my class, and any ones I am involved with are usually with my friends and they’re usally over as quick as they started because after a minute I just say truce and my friends basically always accept.
(3) If I had to teach a class a subject for a day, the only ones that quickly come to mind are history and immunology. Ever sinse basically I learned how to speak, I have always had a passion to learn about the past. But it was only really in second grade that I really began to learn lots. In second grade, my friends loved to talk about the millitary marvels of history, and one of my friends, Ben, happened to love to talk about World War 2. Before this point, I hadn’t been a big reader, but that changed when my mother got me the book Adventures in Time-The Second World War from the library. At first I didn’t read it because it looked a bit too big and thousands times what I was reading, which back then was usually cringe comics. We were about to return it when my sister read it in a day and said she wanted it for Christmas. I quickly became intrigued and opened the book for the first time. I was supprised about how much I loved reading it. It told history from many different viewpoints, from the worst villian and most deceitful coward to the most inspirational leader and bravest soldier. It told stories about the fight of many individuals for not just what they thought and knew was right but also for survival and freedom.
That book was the beginning of my interest in history. I read most of the books in that series and some are also a read in progress. My interest in these books and their history alike was expanded as I went on to their other books, ranging all the way from World War 2 to The Aztecs and Horatio Nelson to Cleopatra as some examples. Today, I enjoy giving these books a read- Even if I’ve already done that dozens of times.
Immunology is a new thing I began looking at this year, but learning about medicine is something that goes back until I’m about three. My mother was a doctor before she had me and my sister., so she one day bought a book called The Invisible War. And it showed a fight in many different ways. It look place during World War One, and a nurse is in charge of a patient. Well, this patient happens to have Dyssentry caused by a strain of Shegella Flexerni. The nurse soon contracts the disease of him, and her immune system’s fight for survival is basically lost before the first neutrophil has attacked. The nurse is almost dead when an unexpected hero saves her- The friendly virus, the Bacteriophage. Then, this year I began looking at videos explaining the massive complex of the immune system, all the was from the most dangerous viruses (Variola, Lyssa, Ebola) to the most deadly immune players (Cytotoxic T Lymphocytes, Plasma B Lymphocytes, Macrophages). I found it enterataining as well as fascinating and complex, so I borrowed a book about it from the library and read it. Somehow, it got even more complex with now MHC modecules and Eosiniphils and Epithelial cells. I find it fascinating and would enjoy teaching someone the complex bundle of information that is immunology.
The Rug
I stare down at the Persian rug that enveloped the room, its kaleidoscopic strands turning it into a lightshow of colours. The silken strings where as soft as a cloak yet hard as a harp’s A string. It’s euphoric energy calmly pulsated through me, a sense of awe flushing throughout. I looked down to reflect on this rug’s creation. I could only imagine the craftmanship that went into this- The days and nights of threading. In the room, there was nothing but a serene silence. A wistful magic. The smell was a nostalgic mix of dust- Invoking memories, of long years past.
I stared back down at the rug. It was so, so much more.
The Citadel
Deep beneath the city, where no light ever touched, Aiden discovered a hidden door that pulsed with an eerie blue glow. Aiden slowly moved his hand toward the handle. Filled with trepidation, he swung around to look at the tunnel. There was a sound. A sound of water dripping against the ground. He held his flashlight firmly, then he turned the creaky knob and threw the door ajar.
He peered inside. He could taste… He could taste metal. He looked inside. To his shock, he saw… People? He hadn’t seen anyone else for years. Not until it happened. He grimaced at the thought.
You know what?, he thought. There’s no use going back to that day.
But… He looked closer. A yellow and black hasmat suit was firmly on that guy. Why? The great bleaching was already over, so why do they need it?
Aiden knew there was something deeper. He darted through the door, fast as he could. Arounf the bend he went. The corridoors were metalic, air vents at every side. Lights came out to either side of the hall. Eventually, he came to a window. As he peered through, he couldn’t believe what he was seeing. It was a huge cylindrical glass chamber, and peering in through more windows were even more people! He knew there would be some survivors, just not so many. But it was what was in the middle that was what sent shivers down his spine.
It was a massive steel craft, engines and wires all around it. Strange radar-shaped discs were all over it. But he knew what is was. he had seen it long, long before.
That long Summer’s day.
17th of July, 2035
It was that day where the skies darkened and that… Thing rose toward the sky. Then it happened. The noise. A lound piercing sould permitrated everyones ears. People began to scream, some so lound their vocal cords popped. Then people started to lose teeth and go blind. Many locals knew what caused that. Nuclear radiation. In the 2027 Operation Atomic Beam the same thing had happened- A deafening sound, then horrific distortions.
Yet what happened next was nothing short of nightmares. Every piece of organic material turned a deathly whitish grey, like the slabs of concrete from a broken civilisation. Those pieces of grey began to crumble like rock, and thousands simply fell to pieces. The streets were a bloodbath. By then, local millitary regiments and police were hammering it with a hailstorm of iron, lead and gunpowder. He had got lucky, but had lost three fingers. It was only by luck he was healed in time. But it was too late. Many had believed it to be an alien weapon, but now Aiden knew the truth.
And now, Aiden stared in sheer horror at the sight before him. Up rose the steel abomination, ressurecting from from it’s wreched tomb.
Then came a noise Aiden remembered- A piercing, unrelenting roar of sound.

Carpet description:
The bright Persian carpet sprawled across the floor like the vast plains where it was made. Against the dull oak floor where it was placed, its bright saffron and scarlet shone out like the sun during midnight. The labyrinthine patterns made from gold shimmered brightly as the water reflecting the sun in an oasis. The soft strings of nylon that it was created with. The deep reds and oranges blended and contrasted perfectly against the deep tanzanite blues.
Each step on the soft fabrics made the carpet feel like stepping on clouds, and every step caused the sound of marshmallows dropping to echo across the room. The full carpet represented a deep vermilion sunset, but inside, all of the lines had tiny details of daily Persian life. Not a single centimeter was wasted with a mosaic of different colors appearing wherever you looked. The carpet wasn’t only a decoration for any home, it was like a gateway to traditional Persian life through beautiful art.
Story starter:
Deep beneath the city, where no light ever touched, Aiden discovered a hidden door that pulsed with an eerie blue glow. The old oak door creaked like the bones of an old man. As Aiden grasped the smooth golden handle, the door creaked loudly and its weathered joints protested against Aidens young force. The cold moist air made it harder for Aiden to breathe but finally, with a determined shove, the door opened.
Inside, was a lush green world full of beautiful plants that were cultivated mysteriously without any real sunlight or human technology. Each bush he passed on the rough gravel path had verdant emerald leaves and vivid plants. Finally, after an hour of walking down a path to what seemed like what was the middle, Aiden encountered a mossy and overgrown stone pedestal. There was a keyhole in the pedestal and it seemed to exactly match the one that he always wore. With trembling hands, Aiden shoved the key into the keyhole and turned. In a spit second, the ground started rumbling and rocks began to fall from the cave roof threatening to squash him.

Write a description of the magical carpet (200 words)
The silky carpet, what seemed like an elaborately embellished peacock’s tail, had vibrant hues of all colours intricately carved into it, each pattern a representative of a past conversation and event. The carpet palpitated with a supernatural force, its boundaries only accessible to the ones that had truly listened to its symphonies. The carpet seemed to be the soul of the world, livening up the bleak environment, the only source of light. Its energy pumped out melodic harmonies, the faint waves of laughter with the intertwining of bass and woodwind. The carpet is reminiscent of the challenges of life, an escape from hardships and struggles, comforting the ones who seek refuge, a haven, and sanctuary. Yet despite the enticing looks, the inner core has a deeper valued meaning, a tapestry of iconic past events and glimpses of famous conversations, all unraveled in the history of the carpet.

The Magical Carpet
Deep beneath the city, where no light ever touched, Aiden discovered a hidden door that pulsed with an eerie blue glow. What lay ahead was a spread of peacock’s tail, brimming with vibrant hues and glowing against the bleak background. The carpet, which seemed like a haven for us, was just a mere rug, reclusing from the rest of the world. The intricate carvings in each sophisticated pattern marked a symbolic meaning, and as Aiden crept in, it pulsated with re-enforced energy. The symphony of the hues intertwined with each other, forging a melodic combination of the bass section and the woodwind. Aiden circled the eerie carpet, sending a shiver down his spine. Gulping, he reached for the carpet, its texture feeling like the velvety touch of cotton candy. It was as if he brushed through nothingness; as if he brushed through the air. As he trimmed his hand over the silky fur of the leopard, the harmony seemed to flow into him. His body lightened up and his heart felt of air. As the music palpitated through him, the velvety carpet’s glowing began to diminish with each wave of comfort flowing through Aiden. At last, nothing was left but an old, worn-out rug.

Interview Questions (100 words each) Imagine you are given a large sum of money to improve your community—how would you use it? How would you handle a conflict with a classmate or teammate? If you were asked to teach a class for a day, what subject would you choose and how would you teach it
If I was given a large sum of money, I would use it to build and develop sport facilities. You see, many children do not have the ideal conditions to play sports due to snow and many other factors like how expensive it is to hire a court or pitch to play on. To stop this from happening, I would build venues for children to play or train at for a cheap price, thereby leading to better athletes to represent the country. Also, another benefit is if a child has a natural gift for sports, they can nurture it due to accessible courts or pitches, maybe leading to an offer for a scholarship or a sports team, which they maybe wouldn’t have been given if there were no courts or pitches available.
How I would handle conflicts with my classmate is first, see where they are coming from. You’re not going to be a good friend if you don’t listen to what the other person says. Secondly, if I still disagree with what they say, I can elaborate. For example, let’s say me and my friend have an argument about if robots will take over the world. I say yes, they will, and he says no, they won’t. Once I listen to what he has to say, and I still don’t agree, I can explain why I think robots will take over. Eg, there is now AI, they’re smarter, etc. Once I’ve elaborated on my point and he still has his own beliefs, I stop the debate. As the old saying goes, “you can lead a horse to water, but you can’t make it drink.”
If I was chosen to teach a class for a day, I would teach the children about the Vikings because we need to learn from history so children don’t follow in their footsteps. “Those who don’t know history are destined to repeat it.” They caused havoc, and havoc is still caused today, so I want children to be informed on how many people died because of them, and how much suffering they brought. It is also important to know about the Vikings so that we can appreciate not having Barbarians burning down houses, killing people, and stealing men’s wives and children.

Imagine you are given a large sum of money to improve your community—how would you use it?
How would you handle a conflict with a classmate or teammate?
If you were asked to teach a class for a day, what subject would you choose and how would you teach it?
If I was given a large amount of money to improve the community, there are three main things I would do. (In order of most important to least important.) I would first try to improve homelessness in local areas. I would build homeless shelters and make sure to assign counselors to teach them how to use their money and not turn back to drugs with their provided money. Secondly, with the money, I might try to create a Universal Basic Income policy, to help families in need and that might also help the homelessness problem again. Lastly, I would try to create more green spaces like parks in the city so that people can enjoy fresh air, along with facilities like gyms and pools.
If I had a conflict/argument with a classmate/teammate I would look at the situation that the argument is in. For example, once my friends and I got into an argument about who should partner with who, because we were mandated to be in a partnership or individual, and we are a group of three people. Firstly, I looked at the situation and knew that there isn’t a way to solve the problem with all of us getting benefitted. But at this point the argument had been going on for a while, and I suggested that I would go by myself, and we could rotate every time who would go with who, and we all agreed.
If I was asked to teach a class for a day, I would teach coding. I am an avid coder in platforms like Unity and Scratch and languages like C++ and python out of my own interest. In fact, I have a Youtube channel in which I teach people coding in scratch along with various concepts and techniques. I believe that my passion for coding would make it a great choice for me to teach in my classroom. I like teaching complex problems, by breaking them down step by step and looking at each individual piece of it, which I think would be a great way to teach my class how to code.
