A rock and a hard place - V M Jones

WALT: summarise a text

Summary: This book is about a boy who plays rugby who is originally from South Africa. In south Africa he had electrified razor wire around his garden. Cause in the past there must have been lots of robbers, robing him. And his widows had bars. Imagine trying to break into this house!  When he left he had to leave behind his sloppy guard dogs, Jasper and Brutus. They must have been good for company. 

Now I shall tell you the place he went to. He went to new Zealand. In New Zealand he's got a new cat called Fletcher.  Yes, he is getting used to most of it. Now the real problem. The thing is that his Dad wants him to support the springboks cause thats the South Africa national rugby union team. So if he is playing rugby and someone asks him 'hey whats your favourite team' what would he say? He cant chose between Springboks and All Blacks cause if they ask him 'hey whats your favourite team?' what would he say? So after he goes home on his bike. And he is just in his bed finishing off a chapter of his book.

Then he asked his sister 'hey whats team should I support'  he sister replies 'Aussies?'
'if you don't i will hit you' she says. And in the end he tries to go to sleep, but he couldn't so he talks to his cat. His cat has ginger and white fur. So he was both colours so why cant the boy be like Fletcher. When he wakes he realises he can support both teams.

    Wow you have included lots of detail from the text! A summary could be slightly shorter, but I love that you included the key moments of the text and your own opinion about what is happening.
