My opinion! Horrid Henry or Just William!

hi peeps,
this is my opinion for the newest competition, Horrid Henry or Just William?. I have chosen two of the best scenes from the books and given them to you and asked you to vote on the poll to the right. But my opinion on these two books may be completely different from yours. If were talking extract's then I think Just William by a long shot, but if were talking about actual books, I would have to say Horrid Henry. Just William is funny in some parts, but in some stories it just doesn't make sense at all. But this extract just makes me crack up every time. Horrid Henry, has to be the naughtiest boy I have ever read about. He is not adventurous, like William but he seems to have adventures anyway. I mean, when William would prefer to be adventuring, Henry would rather be watching TV. Now before you judge, Henry lives in the modern house, and, well dont we all live like that? I mean I am staring at a computer screen now typing this for you. You are on a computer screen now reading this, in fact, I think that you probably spend at least an hour on the screen every day, even if its just looking on the IPad to see what time it is. There was just a few things to think about before you vote. Now remember, the poll closes on the 10th of Feburary, so get those votes in!

HH V.S JW: Just William

hi peeps

This is an extract from Just William: William the Good by Richmal Crompton published by Macmillan. In this scene, William's hamster just died and his sister Ethel has come down with the measles. Ethel's boyfriend Hector who is William's enemy has just come to see her.

William did not at first see Ginger's brother Hector who had come round to the side of the house looking pale and distraught. 
"This is terrible news," began Hector. 
William was touched. Somehow he hadn't expected this kindness, this understanding, from Hector. "Yes, isn't it," he acquiesced despondently, "terrible."
"She seemed all right yesterday," continued Hector.
"She was," affirmed William, "she was quite all right yesterday. I think it was eatin' those berries."
"What berries?" said the young man.
"Those berries Ginger gave her."
"D-did Ginger giver her some berries?" stammered Hector aghast.
"Yes - all sorts of different coloured kinds of berries what he found about the garden. And she ate them all."
The horror of the young man is indescribable. That his  young brother - his young brother should be the cause of it...
"B-but," e stammered, "I - I heard in the village it was measles."
"No," said William, "it's worse than measles. She's dead. She died in the night."
"What?" screamed the young man.
"She's dead," said William, somewhat flattered if a little surprised by the deep emotion shown by the visitor. "When Ginger 'n' me came to clean out her cage his mornin' we found her dead."
"Clean out her c-! What the dickens are you talking about?"
"Our mouse," said William simply; "weren't you?"
The visitor obviously controlled himself with an effort.
"No," he said with venomous coldness," I was talking about your sister Ethel."
 

HH V.S JW: Horrid Henry

hi peeps

this is the page for the horrid henry in the Horrid Henry V.S Just William competition. This extract is from the book Horrid Henry's Stinkbomb, by Francesca Simon, published by Orion.  In this scene Henry has faked an entry into a book reading competition and the answers  are about to be announced......

Miss Battle-Axe rose from her seat and walked to the podium in the school hall.
Henry was so excited he could hardly breathe. He had to win. He was sure to win. "Well done, everyone," said Miss Battle-Axe. "So many wonderful books read. But sadly there can only be one winner."
"Me!" thought Horrid Henry.
"The winner of the school reading competition, the winner who will be receiving a fabulous prize, is -" Horrid Henry got ready to leap up. "- Clare, with twenty-eight books!"
Horrid Henry sank back down in his seat as Clever Clare swaggered up to the podium. If only he'd added Three Boys, Two Pigs, and a Rhinoceros to his list, he'd have tied for first. It was so unfair. All his hard work for nothing.
"Well done, Clare!" beamed Miss Battle-Axe. She waved Clare's list. "I see you've read one of my very favourites, Boudicca's Big Battle."
She stopped. "Oh dear Clare, you've put down Boudicca's Big Battle twice by mistake. But never mind. I'm sure no one else has read twenty-seven books - "
"I have!" screamed Horrid Henry. Leaping and shouting, punching the air with his fist, Horrid Henry ran up onto the stage, chanting: "Theme park! Theme park1 Theme park1"
"Gimme my prize!" he screeched, snatching the tickets out of Clare's hand.
"Mine!" screamed Clare, snatching them back.
Miss Battle-Axe looked grim. She scanned Henry's list.
"I am not familiar with the Boy and the Pig series," she said.
"That's cause it's Australian," said Horrid Henry.
Miss Battle-Axe glared at him. Then she tried to twist her face into a  smile.
"It appears we have a tie," she said. "Therefore, you will each receive a family pass to the new theme park, Book World. Congratulations.
Horrid Henry stopped his victory dance. Book World? Book World? Surely he'd heard wrong?
"Here are just some of the wonderful attractions you will enjoy at Book World," said Miss Battle-Axe. " 'Thrill to a desplay of speed-reading! Practice checking out library books! Read to the beat!' Oh my, doesn't that sound fun!"
"AAAAAARGGGGGGGGG!" screamed Horrid Henry.
