ESOL/Reading a novel.

Kia Ora! Today we will be talking about today's ESOL lesson and what occurred during the first half of our time.

During the first few minutes of entering ESOL, our teacher started to read a novel without warning us. At first I didn’t notice her reading because of all the ruckus going on as all of us tried to get into our seats, but I soon heard her when all of us settled down. 

Our teacher didn’t tell us the name of the novel but started to read the pages anyway, I think she did this to keep the story hidden so that there would be no spoilers when we watch the movie or read the book during ESOL time.

As she started to read the story word to word it seemed that a boy named Noah (Possible protagonists/Storyteller) was talking about the past, future and present tense of his family's story. 

The novel started off by telling us about how his dad first met and fell in love with Noah’s current mother. Noah talked about how his father met his mother at a bakery store and immediately fell in love with her the moment he first laid eyes on her, his dad knew what he wanted when he saw her. The dad wasn’t all that focused/interested in studying; he was rather focused on the girl he had met that day. Though the dad was head over heels in love with the mum, the dad tried to convince/make her fall in love with him, and that’s when it started. The mum soon asked the dad out (Which of course he said yes to). 

A few years went by and they got married, they later went to Kenya for their honeymoon. Noah’s parents liked to travel a lot around the world, but they soon settled down to have 3 kids of their own in Sydney Australia. They were a joyful and happy family during this time, even though the mom and dad have kids now it didn’t stop them from travelling. They continued their journey with 3 kids beside them this time!

My prediction is that some sort of tragedy will happen to them, The reasoning behind this thought is that Noah said and I quote “I guess we all kinda knew that our life was perfect and that we wouldn’t change a thing. 

But sometimes you don’t get that choice, do you? Sometimes stuff happens that you would do anything to try to avoid. But you can’t. And that’s what happened to us.”. This made me think of perhaps the “Sometimes stuff happens that you would do anything to try to avoid. But you can’t. And that’s what happened to us.” might be hinting to a family tragedy/accident that they couldn’t avoid? During the story the word “Magpie…” was mentioned, If you didn’t know already this is a type of word. I think that perhaps this magpie is a pet, or perhaps some sort of helping animal?
