Back at home, her mother is acting all cryptic and over-protective, packing up their stuff to move away from New York City and into the country home of her best friend, Luke. Clary isn't pleased, and leaves the apartment to hang out with Simon. She finds him at a poetry reading, where she also runs into Jace, one of the demon hunters (called Shadowhunters or Nephilim). And then she receives a scary phone call from her mother that sounds like she's being attacked.Back at the apartment, Clary finds the place deserted. Except, that is, for the giant, slobbering, poisonous demon that bites her. She kills the demon by herself, but not before she's bitten and passes out. Poisoned, Clary is carried to the Institute by Jace, who introduces her to a few other Shadowhunters. They seek cover in the apartment of Madame Dorothea, a hacky looking psychic who has ties to the Nephilim. Clary realizes that her mother must have hidden the Mortal Cup, a magical artifact that is pretty much the most important thing ever, inside a painting—the hand-painted Tarot deck she made for Madame Dorothea.So they go back to the apartment! Clary cleverly retrieves the cup, but then an evil demon, Abbadon, rushes through the Portal, possesses Madame Dorothea, and tries to kill Clary and Co. They manage to escape and return to the Institute, where Hodge, Jace's tutor, betrays them by handing over the Cup and an unconscious Jace to Valentine, the Big Bad, whom he had been working with all along.Gasp! Hodge flees, pursued by Clary. They confront each other in an alleyway, and Hodge attacks her. She's saved by Luke, who is a werewolf. Double gasp! Inside Valentine's castle, which is under a spell that makes it look like a crumbling mental hospital, Clary finds her mother, who is unconscious and chained up.Then Jace shows up and tells Clary that Valentine is his father. Triple gasp! Which means that Clary and Jace are brother and sister. Okay, we're hyperventilating now. Clary manages to convince Jace that even though Valentine is his father, he's still a murderous, lying buttface. Valentine escapes through a Portal with the Cup, smashing the Portal behind him.

Novel Summary: Frankenstein.
This novel is written by Mary Shelley.In the book Shelley presents a unique character as known as Victor Frankenstein and his creation, the monster. Caroline Beaufort Frankenstein Victor's mother. Caroline dies of scarlet fever when Victor is 17. The monster was more though there are two distinct halves to one character. Each half competes for attention from the other and for the chance to be the ruler of the other half. In the end, this competition reduces both men to ruins. Perhaps this novel is addressing that issue of advances created by men, but which fly in the face of "natural" elements and divine plans.The monster was formed into a hideous and gigantic creature, the monster faces rejection and fear from his creator and society. The monster's rejection from society pushes him to commit murder against his creator's family. Henry Clerval was Victor's best friend who helps Victor in his time of need, she was totally unaware of Victor's creation. But later the monster kills Henry after Victor breaks his promise of creating a female companion for the monster. The monster has taught himself to read and understand language so that he can follow the lives of his "adopted" family, the De Laceys. While the monster wanders the woods, he comes upon a jacket with a notebook and letters that were lost by Victor. From the notes, the monster learns of his creation. He has endured rejection by mankind, but he has not retaliated upon mankind in general for his misfortune. Instead, he has decided to take revenge on his creator's family to avenge the injury and sorrow he endures from others.Victor refuses to make a second monster, but is convinced when the monster assures Victor that he will leave Europe and move to South America. Victor agrees to begin work on a second creation and makes plans to go to England and Scotland, with Henry Clerval, to begin his secret work. Before he leaves Geneva, Victor agrees to marry Elizabeth immediately upon his return from the British Isles. Victor takes up residence in the Orkney Islands, off the coast of Scotland. Victor destroys his project and goes out to sea to dispose of the remains. The monster vows revenge on Victor not upholding his end of their bargain.With a wedding date set, Victor torments himself with the thought of the monster's threat to be with him on his wedding night. The wedding goes off as planned. While Victor makes sure he covers all possible entrances that the monster could use to get into the wedding chamber, the monster steals into Elizabeth's room and strangles her.Victor now wants revenge and chases the monster through Europe and Russia. Victor nearly catches the monster near the Arctic Circle when Robert Walton discovers him. Victor, now near death, is taken aboard Walton's ship to recover from exhaustion and exposure.The monster appears out of the mists and ice to visit his foe one last time. The monster enters the cabin of the ship and tells Walton his side of the story. Victor dies, and the monster tells Walton that he will burn his own funeral pyre.

Most dangerous drug in the world: Devil's Breath. 💉💊
The Devil's Breath's real name is "scopolamine" and is made using extracts from a tree known popularly as the "borrachero" tree which is common in the South American country of Colombia and which loosely translates to the "get-you-drunk" tree. The seeds, contain a chemical similar to scopolamine called 'Burandanga". flowers and pollen of the tree are known to possess hallucinogenic qualities when consumed or inhaled but how effective, or widespread its usage is, is a point of contention. The seeds, when powdered and extracted via a chemical process, Borrachero has been used for hundreds of years by native South Americans in spiritual rituals. The compound is said to lead to hallucinations, frightening images, and a lack of free will.
A hazardous drug that eliminates free will and can wipe the memory of its victims is currently being dealt on the streets of Colombia.
Scopolamine often blown into faces of victims or added to drinks within minutes, victims are like 'zombies' - coherent, but with no free will. Some victims have even reported emptying bank accounts to robbers or helping them pillage own house. It blocks your free will, wipe your memory and can even kill you if taken in more amount. This is Devil's breath in normal flower form.
This is just a picture of the flower, they might seem beautiful to some of you guys, but it can more likely change you into a flesh eating zombie if inhaled in large amount.
Its common side effects are dry mouth, blurry vision, dizziness, flushing, and a feeling of light headedness and coma. In severe cases, users may even pose the risk of death.In addition to the side effects referenced above, a number of potentially serious side effects can be linked to use of Devils Breath. These effects include urination issues, confusion, rapid or irregular heartbeat, extreme dry mouth, speaking troubles, disorientation, drastic changes in mood or thought patterns, hallucinations and extreme drowsiness.An allergic reaction is often viewed as an additional serious side effect of Devils Breath use. Common signs associated with a Scopolamine allergic reaction include tightness in the chest area, breathing issues, skin rashes, itchiness, hives, and swelling throughout the face.
These are some real things which happens to your body...

What is freedom? Are we free?
What does true freedom look like? Does it look like a voter’s ballot or someone walking out of prison? Is it seen in being able to buy anything I want or in the fact that I don’t owe a thing to anyone? Of course, it’s crucial to define what we mean by freedom so that we know what we’re looking for, what we’re hoping to attain.
Say that a child runs outside and climbs a tree because he wants to get away and be free. In his exuberant effort to be free, the boy wanders out onto a tree limb, turns around, and begins severing the last connection he has with the world — the limb. Having sawed through the limb, the boy quickly realizes that he not only failed in achieving his goal of complete freedom, but discovers that what he was seeking wasn’t true freedom at all. In his effort to achieve freedom, the boy finds himself in a worse situation then before — broken limbs and all! or some another examples; the burglar cannot have the freedom to steal, the thug cannot have the freedom to mug, and the businessman cannot have the freedom to excessively pollute and pay no taxes.
Well there is much to disuse about this topic, we will just start from knowing what actually is freedom? Freedom is the power or right to act, speak, or think as one wants without hindrance or restraint, and the absence of a despotic government. freedom is self-determinance; it is the condition of minimal constraint. Okay you might have got the idea what actually is freedom but do you think you are free? Are you allowed to make your own decisions? Are you not be bound of anyone?(as a child then of your parents) Is there human rights? Women empowerment? Laws made under religious sayings?
All I can say is maybe, or might, and so do you, cause your not sure about it. There isn't only one kind of freedom, there are many, and to be completely free means to be obeying those laws and not feel cool to disobey them, if there is only one kind of freedom in a society/country then, there citizens might not be obeying them. Securing freedom from fear and freedom from want is very likely to entail some collective, organized action. That kind of activity is often carried out most effectively and efficiently (although, admittedly, not perfectly) by the government. If we want to live in a society where freedoms are protected and where the opportunity to exercise freedom is assured, we have to rely on some form of governance. So far, liberal representative democracy seems to do the best job of it.
The main types of freedom are;
Freedom of the press prohibits the government from interfering with the printing and distribution of information or opinions. It can be limited by libel and copyright laws, and it doesn’t include the act of news gathering.
Freedom of expression includes freedom of speech, of the press, of association, of assembly and petition. This freedom doesn’t extend to expression that defames, causes panic, creates fighting words, incites people to crime, creates sedition, or is obscene.
Freedom of speech is the right of people to express their opinions publicly without governmental interference. The right doesn’t extend to hate speech, advertising, child pornography, and a few other instances.
Freedom of Religion is the freedom of an individual or community, in public or private, to manifest religion or belief in teaching, practice, worship, and observance. This right extends to any religious belief, but not in the practice of all religious activities (for example, ones that involve breaking other laws).
Freedom of Assembly, sometimes used interchangeably with the freedom of association, is the individual right to come together and collectively express, promote, pursue and defend common interests. The right to freedom of association is recognized as a human right, a political freedom and a civil liberty. This freedom can be limited by laws that protect public safety.
There is nothing mysterious about the foundations of a healthy and strong democracy. The basic things expected by our people of their political and economic systems are simple. They are:
- Equality of opportunity for youth and for others.
- Jobs for those who can work.
- Security for those who need it.
- The ending of special privilege for the few.
- The preservation of civil liberties for all.
- The enjoyment of the fruits of scientific progress in a wider and constantly rising standard of living.
Internal freedom refers to the first and most basic type of freedom is embodied by the chap in jail, All normal human beings are born and remain free in the most important sense that they are forever and at every conscious moment freely-choosing beings. We can not escape this kind of freedom even if we try, for we must then freely choose among means of escape, and so on. Although External freedom refers to the normal and common freedoms expected in daily life, in most countries. It is something described as freedom from. because it implies immunity from undue interference by authority, especially by government. It is also sometimes called "negative freedom."

Book Review: Almost moon.
The novel stays close to Helen Knightly, its narrator, through each detail of the murder, starting with the senile Clair calling Helen "bitch" and soiling herself. Helen starts to clean her, and then impulsively presses the towel over her face until she suffocates. Helen refers to this as the fulfillment of a lifelong dream.The painful ambivalence of mother-daughter relationships are so familiar - and the problems mentally disabled elderly parents can pose for their adult children so well-attested - that I suspect it is a rare person who will not feel a thrill of sympathy for the murdering daughter or, along with Helen, pangs for a mother who was always neurotically tormented. As Helen tells us the successively crazier things she's doing - dumping the body in the deep freeze, summoning her ex of 23 years earlier, having sex with her best friend's son - she also takes us back over her life's previous 49 years of discoveries about her family and herself.She divides the world into two classes - the normal, and those like herself and her parents who are "totally fucked". She made an early bid for normality by going away to university, marrying and having two kids; but then she chose craziness, moving a thousand miles to look after Clair. We quickly learn that Clair was bitter about her marriage, which landed her in a boring Pennsylvania suburb. When Helen discloses that she was also agoraphobic, though, I became less tolerant of these revelations. Wasn't it enough just to have a mother who was critical and unloving? But the justifications for murder or instances of craziness-es, however contradictory, keep being larded on, culminating in her father going mad and shooting himself. It's as if the author, having quite literally lost the plot (of mother-daughter ambivalence), had been reading a manual of mental disorders and just threw in everything.As storytelling, I have to say this works. Jolts of titillation do build suspense and that, I guess, is what many readers want. But books we call literary explore, digging out fresh pockets of subject matter or language, describing what we haven't seen captured in words. Novelty can be overvalued - but so can suspense. Sebold seems to want to explore the psychological realities of families and how they shape the lives of their members.
Suggestive insights are dropped in, but the need to continually amp up the action constricts truthful investigation. I wondered if her publishers pushed her toward the sensational - or if her chosen subject was just too hard to portray.The Almost Moon builds on The Lovely Bones the way that the earlier novel (narrated from heaven by a 14-year-old rape and murder victim) built on Lucky, Sebold's rape memoir. It's an inversion: in The Lovely Bones the victim is young and innocent and the killer serial; in The Almost Moon the victim is old and hurtful, the killer barely a murderer at all. There's a similar alertness to the ways in which everyone's a victim and everyone has murderous feelings, and outlandish acts again come out of a need to love and feel loved.In The Almost Moon, what initially seems so grounded in relatable-to feelings turns out to be a kind of fantasy in its extremes: instead of mere dissatisfaction and divorce, the father's madness and suicide; instead of resentment and placing the mother in a hospice, murder - an acting out of improbable what-ifs that is less and less realistic, but disguised so. Almost every family does, in real life, have something crazy to it, but not this crazy - not craziness this various and psychotic. The Almost Moon is unrealistic, but it's leavened with realistic description, much as the previous novel's hard-to-swallow heaven is made semi-palatable by the ordinary community and family scrutinized from it.So I'm still waiting for the book that fully engages with a daughter psychically married to her emotionally with olding mother; or a novel about an adult child's identification with and fear of an aged, demented parent that comes close to Alice Munro's portrayal of living with a spouse with Alzheimer's in "The Bear Came Over the Mountain". Lurid action is easier to come up with than the subtleties of everyday family chafing you find in works such as Death of a Salesman or A Long Day's Journey Into Night, not that those don't have their drug addiction and adultery. Maybe publishers now would reject such honesty as tame.The excess of craziness means we don't have, paradoxically, an intimate sense of what Helen is like: she's sardonic, practical, controlled - but then none of those things, just her crazy parents' daughter.At one point, she thinks of a book her daughter had recommended, nonfiction about a serial killer. She reads it in one night but demands the next day: "How can you read such things?" Sebold's second novel will give you more than most true crime books - an evoked world especially (she is very good on suburbs) - but not the inside information it promises. It's both a strength and a weakness that it's a one-night read.
- AL'z wittren!

The kite runner.
I. Write at least 3 – 4 sentences about the plot
a. What was the story about?
It is about a kid named Amir, who struggles to find his place in the world because of the aftereffects and fallout from a series of traumatic childhood events.
b. Who were the main characters?
Amir, Hassan, Baba, Ali.
c. What did the main character do in this story?
Amir - A sensitive and intelligent son of a well-to-do businessman in Kabul, and he grows up with a sense of entitlement. His best friend is Hassan, and he goes back and forth between acting as a loyal friend and attacking Hassan out of jealousy whenever Hassan receives Amir’s father’s affection.
d. Did the main characters run into any problem?
The activity of kite fighting is violent by nature. The kites battle and so too do the children flying them. The string, which is covered in ground glass, carves deep gashes into the fliers' hands as they try to cut each other down, and once kites fall out of the sky, the kite runners retrieve them with the same furious determination as, say, a hunting dog does a slain bird. In its violence, kite fighting represents the conflicts that rage Afghanistan nearly throughout the course of the novel. When Hosseini paints us a picture of hundreds of kites trying haphazardly and with great determination to cut each other down, he shows us also the warring factions of Afghanistan overthrowing one another.
e. Did the main characters have any adventures?
No.
f. Who was your favorite character? Why?
Farid! The Afghan man who drived Amir from Peshawar to Kabul and ended up helping him though the whole journey and even got injured by fighting against the Soviets and is fiercely proud of his loyalty to Afghanistan. Ad taking Amir to a hospital in Pakistan.
II. Your personal experience
a. Could you relate to any characters in the story?
Not actually, but if i have to choose, I will relate to Hassan, from the novel "The kite runner", because of his boldness, and how he never gave up on his dream to compete in the kite tournament.
b. Have ever done some of the things or felt some of the same things that the characters did?
I have, well i use to love flying kite with my brother when i was a kid, but as i grew younger and younger I ended my this hobby. Along with kite flying, the thing i still do is being bold, and helping my friends' solving there problems, or fighting for them.
III. Your opinion
a. Did you like the book?
Yes! i loved the novel, but at a point I felt sad at the first chapter where the narrator (Amir) discusses about his childhood, it made me understand his life, and his growth from childhood to manhood. The novel didn't actually had a perfectly happy end, but from my point of view the novel was beautifully wrote and was based on true view.
b. What was your favorite part of the book?
The part i most loved was when Hassan told Amir " For you, a thousand times", if we understand it correctly, we can tell that how much Hassan cared about Amir, he could do anything for him without saying "No" to him.
c. Do you have a least favorite of the book?
No! All the characters' have a role which suits them.
d. If you could change something in the book, what would it be?
(If you wish you could change the ending, remember not to tell the ending to the story you read!)
i wouldn't like to change anything in the book, because this book tell the truth about other less educated countries This novel is perfect from all points, for me because it tell the lifestyle of others as well.
IV. Your recommendation
a. Would you recommend this book to another person?
Sure! I will, i would love to share about how a childhood friend can change, how someone never stopped caring.
b. What type of person would like this book?
A person who cares, and know about the outer and real life. A person who agrees that this book can be true!

What is the hardest thing in my life?
There are always some ups and downs in our life, but this is life. life is not just time spent with your loved ones, but life and time shows you the real face of the other
person. Life can never be easy but we can make it easy,
by not focusing on the difficulties which are in the present but to see the future and enhance it.
Life is all about choices from your birth to your death.In which there are hard and easy choices.
The hardest thing that I have to do in my life? will be to live when you wanted to die! Not only me but there are thousands of people who wanted to die, just because
they got in a really big fight with there loved ones,
or they have no meaning to live, they don't have anyone to share there feelings with there sorrow there happiness with. There also are some people who are going though
various diseases, like cancer or any other incurable disease.
But at the other side there are some people who beat there disease and live happily. In which my hardest thing is to live when i am dying from the inside,
because there is no meaning of living when you don't have someone who understands you or means everything to you. I want others to be happy but inside i feel lonely and
unhappy.This is a well said quote,
"It's funny how fake a smile can be... and no one can notice the pain that lies beneath it."
Like just fake a smile and everyone will think that you are happy, but only one of them can tell how you really feels, and that one would be your closest friend.
And when that friend asks you what happened you don't tell them and just lie them that you are fine.But only your pillow knows how you really feels.
I don't really have a nice reason for not living, but my reasons are hard for me to handle which are not letting me move on in my life, but making me to quit.

Riches have Wings!
We alldepend on money, but if we run after money, we will disappear.Some Rich people think that they are the master of all, and we are there servants but they dont know that servants can also become a master.They probably didn't knew this famous quote:
“The speed of your success is limited only by your dedication and what you're willing to sacrifice”
― Nathan W. Morris.
They want to sacrifice alittle and want much. But in some cases that sacrifices can be wrong, not from there point of view but from every other ones'.
Rich people think that they have everything but they are wrong. Money cannot buy everthing, money can't buy;
1. Trust.
2. Manners.
3. Loyalty.
4. A life .
5. True love.
6. Intelligence
7. Happiness, and many more.
Rich people think that there money can be stolen so they are in search for security so that there money could be with them forever,eventually find out nothing is forever.
They spent great money on useless things, and please that it will never be finished.Now a days money is used for waste-of-time thing, either for there daily needs.
People need to think that if money is given to them, it can also be taken from them. But now richers' think that once they are high in in the sky they can never come back down.
But they dont know that,Everything have to come right back on the ground!(Because of gravity?No! xD) Buy if they fly higher they will disappear,then nor them or there deeds would be able to be seen by us.
"To be able to give away Riches is mandatory if you with to possess them.This is the only way to be truly Rich!"
― Muhammad Ali(Boxer).

"Sad Song" by We The Kings
You and I,
We're like fireworks and symphonies exploding in the sky.
With you, I'm alive
Like all the missing pieces of my heart, they finally collide.
So stop time right here in the moonlight,
Cause I don't ever wanna close my eyes.
Without you, I feel broke.
Like I'm half of a whole.
Without you, I've got no hand to hold.
Without you, I feel torn.
Like a sail in a storm.
Without you, I'm just a sad song.
I'm just a sad song.
With you I fall.
It's like I'm leaving all my past in silhouettes up on the wall.
With you I'm a beautiful mess.
It's like we're standing hand in hand with all our fears up on the edge.
So stop time right here in the moonlight,
Cause I don't ever wanna close my eyes.
Without you, I feel broke.
Like I'm half of a whole.
Without you, I've got no hand to hold.
Without you, I feel torn.
Like a sail in a storm.
Without you, I'm just a sad song.
You're the perfect melody,
The only harmony
I wanna hear.
You're my favorite part of me,
With you standing next to me,
I've got nothing to fear.
Without you, I feel broke.
Like I'm half of a whole.
Without you, I've got no hand to hold.
Without you, I feel torn.
Like a sail in a storm.
Without you, I'm just a sad song.
Without you, I feel broke.
Like I'm half of a whole.
Without you, I've got no hand to hold.

What I desire the most?
If you ask me what I desire the most in my life I would say:
A soul mate, a friend.
A friend
who would not break my heart. A friend who will trust me with his/her whole heart,
the one who knows me, who know how insane I am, and without him/her I am nothing.
Someone who I can call at the middle of the night for help and he/she is always
ready. The one i can be open-minded with, the one who knows my biggest crush
and my biggest enemy. The one who don't break my heart, who treats me like I am
the only one, and then i will even treat him/her the same. The one, in whose
house I can go anytime, and he/she don't mind. Whose mother and father are like
my mom and dad.The one
who would be with me 12/7.The one my mother trusts my family know. The one who
means a lot. And who knows that I would be with him/her in his/her trouble or sore.
The one I appreciate and they appreciate me.The one who would be there in my
pain and my happiness. The one who would miss me when i am gone. Well i just
want someone who calls me his/her best friend, and prove it!
''I do not desire Medicare love, I only desire of a best friend'' The one who tells me his/her secrets and do not tell my secrets to anyone. The one i can not live without.But this desire will never come true, but still I won't lose Hope!
"When you are in alignment with the desires of your heart, things have a way of working out" (Iyanla Yanzant).

It's hard to forget someone, who is special to you,with whom you have faced your tears and your smile, your soulmate, but unfortunately, worst times also come, like when he/she stop talking to you like old days.And starts to ignore you but you still keep hope and message him/her everyday with a little hope and he/she still ignores you.
But time comes when that same person need you back... Like when you finally lose all your hope and message him/her last time and he/she replies, and you become so beautified and glad that you cant breathe, but he/she talks in a rude manner, like why you keep on texting me? cant you see I'm busy or something, but you say sorry and apologize and become hopeless once again.And after few weeks...
You message him/her last time before saying Goodbye! and at the same time he/she replies, that moment, the most memorable moment and you cant even stop smiling, and almost can't breath as well.You become so happy that you make so many mistakes in your sentences and he/she corrects you. And your all like, Damn! those old days and then you send him/her screenshots of your old conversations which you saved back then.And he/she even laughs or grinning and says; Yes!that time was epic. And you keep on sending those convos' to him/her, and you become that same old best friends as before, and then you speak to yourself by saying; That person i use to know is still inside him/her.And then your tears come out of your eyes and meet the sweetness of you mouth, which makes a salty-sweet mixture.
But later after 1 or 2 hours......he/she say that they wanna go, and our all like yea sure, no problem.but from inside your all like; No! don't I wanna talk more, please don't go. But still you are so happy that you cant stop smiling or laughing for no reason till the day ends.

THROW-FOOT BALL
The Game we have designed is a teenager's game, and it's name is Throw-foot ball.This game is most probably the only game in which you have to use both your hands and your feets'.
In this game you have to catch the ball with our hands then u should immediately drop it and kick it with your feets'. There will also be a line and you will not be allowed to cross that line while kicking the ball(Like made in the picture down).There are some RULES to this game as well like:
1. The ball should not touch the net while you are kicking the ball.
2. Body touch while catching will be consider as a foul.
3. Each group must have six players and one in spare.
4. The first ball should be kicked from the service box
There are some allowance and dis-allowance in this game as well, like your not allowed to argue with the referee, or else the referee is allowed to show you a red card or a yellow card. In which yellow card means that you have been warned to not do that mistake again, and if you been shown a red card it means that your team has been disqualified. Along with these there are 3 restrictions as well:
1. You must have permission from our Parents or guardian.
2. You should be a teenager or at least 12+
3.You must be wearing our football shoes and should be proper uniformed.

P.S: This game has been designed by: Alirah Zaidi, Rukhsana Saleem and Ahsan Azad Khan,who are students of St.Andrew's High School.
Thank You!
