Ida

Chapter

I was getting frustrated with my husband. I

wanted to get away from Mr Piggy but I

knew that it wouldn’t be easy. If I leave I

wouldn't have much money and Mr Piggy

could beat and force me to stay. I thought

that if I let the children go then he might

stop what he’s doing.

I also thought that if I tried to burn everything down Piggy wouldn’t have

any choice but to leave me.

After I let the kids go Piggy was mad at me

and wanted to get rid of me in the most

gruesome way possible. In my head I was

thinking that I had to get away. I waited in my

room until night and tried to leave but Mr Piggy

had locked my door and put metal bars over the

windows. I then remembered that I had dug an

emergency tunnel incase of an emergency.

I climbed down the ladder into a little tunnel

about 6 feet high. 

I made my way through the wet gloomy

tunnel. I eventually made it to the end and

went up the ladder that led into one of the

barns. I got into my car and drove off as

fast as I could. I think Piggy heard my car

and might have tried to follow me but it was

dark and he couldn't find me.

A few years later Mrs Piggy had changed

her name and married a nice man and

forgot about Piggy Bacon and lived happily

ever after.

What happens in the book

When Mr Piggy left, Mrs Piggy was nicer to

the kids and didn’t make them do as much

work. 

When a spider stung me Mrs Piggy would

sit next to me and comfort me.

After Wes died Mrs Piggy wouldn't

speak as much and be more solemn.

She wouldn’t play music anymore.

Ida became angry and tried to burn

the building down.

Ida wanted to let us go but Mr Piggy

wouldn’t allow it. Ida unlocked the door to let them escape.

Ida gave me my lucky key that Mr

Piggy threw away.

Paralympics

 At this year's Paralympics we won 12 medals and 6 of them were gold. Sophie Pascoe won most of them. At the last Paralympics we won 21 at Reo.

Holly Robinson is the only West Coast athlete competing. She took her first gold in javelin. Her first phone call was to her grandmother who lives in Hokitika. They were both crying with happiness.

Paralympics

 At the Olympics there were temporary rooms to accommodate 11,656 athletes. The beds were made out of cardboard so they could recycle them. The beds could hold up to 200kg.

They are going to sell the rooms the athletes slept in after the Olympics.
