Our book is entitled "Tasty Tales", and was written by Frank Brennan. The book is a compilation of six short stories, and the following setting is derived from the beginning of the second story, "Full English Breakfast".
The story is set in Hastings, on the southeast coast of England. Hastings is the home of "Sea View Guesthouse". It is owned by Aunt Brenda. According to the book, "Sea View Guesthouse" is a "very good guesthouse". It has five bedrooms. It is conveniently located near the sea and thus guests have a clear and enjoyable sea view. The guesthouse is filled with people during the morning, because it serves the delicious "Full English Breakfast", after which the story is named. The guesthouse is more suitable for meat-eaters than vegetarians, because the Full English Breakfast contains sausages.

Jordan Julio Jap (jordanjuliojapgoodreadscom) | 14 comments My book is called "I,Robot" which was written by Isaac Asimov in the 1940s but the story is all the way to the future since they include robots, lunar base, expeditions to Mars and Mercury and instead if cars they use gyro transport which is not mostly used till now but its common for a science fiction writer to write these things but the story never the exact place happens it only tell that they have expeditions to Mars and Mercury. the only thing this story tell is the life of robots and humans at the same time. For me, the most interesting story in the book is the beginning short story of "Robbie" while the other one is "The Evitable Conflict". "Robbie" tells a story interested in one household robot and one little girl while "The Evitable Conflict" is interested in the whole world and all humans.

Every night, gatsby would always hold a party in his house, so, every night when the lights are on, the house would look very breathtaking. Gatsby's mansion is surrounded my lots of trees. Which makes it look even More beautiful. With its many rooms, Gatsby is surprisingly the only person living in that house. In the gatsby mansion, there is a huge ballroom-like area that is used for partying every night.

The island Robinson Crusoe got stranded on was huge. Dense foliage dotted the island. There were many birds flying in the air, cawing to each other in a language humans could only dream about comprehending. There were plenty of beaches on the shore on the island, and Robinson's ship was lucky to crash there. Aside from that, the island also had many animals living in it's thick, green forests, and Robinson felt that the climate was far more dry and tropical than the crisp, cold air of England. Under less dire circumstances, Robinson would have described the tropical island as a tropical paradise, if it weren't for the annual trip the cannibals took to eat the human there. The cannibals were nasty people from a neighbouring island, and it was only thanks to the luck and resourcefulness of Robinson that he could escape the wrath of the cannibals.

The bradenburg gate is an 18th century neoclassical triumphal arch in berlin. It was commissioned by King Frederick William II of Prussia as a sign of peace and built by architect Carl Gotthard Langhans from 1788 to 1791. Having suffered considerable damage in World War II, the Brandenburg Gate was fully restored from 2000 to 2002 by the Stiftung Denkmalschutz Berlin . The sky looks like one that is found in fictional movies as you can clearly see some green and pink on the blue background. There are many openings to get through the bradenburg gate and each opening is lighted with an orange coloured light. There is a chariot and four horses that is put on the top of the bridge which is called quadriga a contest which was played in the ancient olympic games.

Nicholas.N.G | 12 comments The book that me, Nadine, and Brandie read this week is " David Copperfield" and it is written by Charles Dickens.
It was just like any other day in town, it was very crowded it looked like a sea full of people. This is Blunderstone, in Suffolk, in the east of England where David Copperfield was e tborn in. It was early in the morning, shops were open and ye streets were filled with people. There were very few trees in the city since the whole area was filled with buildings that were 5 floors high. The sky was grey, it was filled with smoke and not even a little bit of blue can be seen.

Our book is called mayor of casterbridge.the birch trees branching out high were of molten green colours. The morgue house with rusty bricks and castle like Windows stood away in the left from respected, peaceful passed away whom were given varieties of flowers as a sign of respect.
A french traditional bench was a safe distance away from the isolated pathway with a flowering train of pebbles, on the sides to the tombstones. The silent whispers of the wind gushed as the crows thrusted swiftly and high-pitch screech could be heard.

Cynthia | 4 comments Book: Pokemon: Keldeo and The Swords of Justice

Location: Kyurem's Cave

This cave in particular was once never a cave but in fact, a factory. During the cold winter, the Beast of Ice invaded said factory and made it as its home. Over the years, this legendary dragon blew wind as cold as the north pole which created indoor snow, even during the hot Summer. Because of this, numerous Icicles that are as tall as small houses began to form, furnaces that once heated the place has now frozen over. This factory truly is owned by the Dragon of Ice, Kyurem.

The room is pitch black, the curtains were shut tight so no presence of sunlight could enter the room. There was a breeze of icy air sweeping through the curtains making it fluttering left to right. The woman hanging in the fan could not hold for a long period of time, as tiny cracks started to appear. There were many pots and pans hanging from the rack above the dusty cabinets. The counter top had a diner style design and the chair that the lady used to hang herself had fallen down and a note was left.

Book: The Dead of Jericho
Setting: Kitchen at Anne's house
