EYE OF THE CROW An interview with Wilbur Holmes of Shane Peacocks Eye Of The Crow Wilbur Holmes was to be a Professor at the College Of London. But he spent so much time admiring the beautiful young lady at the Opera. That he lost the opportunity to be the professor at the College. He got the love of his life but he lost the job that he had moved to London for. Now he is living in a small two-story building above a hatters shop. Not only does he have money problems he also has family problems. His youngest son Sherlock has recently been accused of murder. What will be Wilbur’s next move? Here are some questions that we asked Mr. Holmes. What was it about Rose that made you fall in love? I saw her sitting in booth above me at the Opera. I am not totally sure what made me fall in love whether it was her beautiful long red hair or her

Welcome to the Black Parade Lyrics When I was a young boy My father took me into the city To see a marching band He said “Son, when you grow up, would you be” “The saviore of the broken, the beaten and the damned?” He said “will you defeat them?” “Your demons and all the non believers” “The plans that they have made” “Becuase one day, i,ll leave” “A phantom to lead you in the summer” “To join the Black Parade” # When I was a young boy My father took me into the city To see a marching band He said “Son, when you grow up, would you be” “The saviore of the broken, the beaten and the damned?” # Sometimes I get the feeling she’s watching over me And other times i feel like I should go # And through it all The rises and the fall The bodies in the streets And when you’re gone we want you all to know Well carry on

Well carry on And throught you’re dead and gone believe me you’re memory will carry one, we’ll carry on And in my heart I cant contain it, The anthem wont explain it A women sends you relling, from decimated dreams Your misery and hate will kill us all So paint it black, and take it back Lets shout it loud and clear Defiant to the end we hear the call To carry on, we’ll carry on And throught you’re dead and gone believe me you’re memory will carry one, we’ll carry on And though you’re broken and defeated Your weary widow marches on On and on we carry through the fears Dissaionted fces of your peers Take a look at me ‘cause I could not care at all Do or die you’ll never make me Becuase the world will never take my heart Go and try, you’ll never break me We want it all, we want play this part I won’t explain or say im sorry I’m unashamed , im going to show my scar Give a cheer for all the broken Listen here, becuase its who we are Im just a man, im not a hero Juts a boy who had to sing this song Im just a man, im not a hero
Join The Black Pa ra de Theme of the song: The message My Chemical Romance is trying to portray in their song “Welcome To The Black Parade” is that no matter what happens you should keep going. In the song the boy’s father asks him to join in the Black Parade. The Black Parade represents the darkness in life and an omen of bad things to happen. Specifically, I feel that the song is trying to show that death is something that you can’t hide from. Also, in the song it states, “Because one day I’ll leave you, a phantom to lead you in the summer to join the Black Parade.” Here, his father dies and he does just what his father wanted, by joining the Black Parade. This notion of continuing on, even when times are difficult is also shown in the line, “ Your memory will carry on.” This to me means that even though he is dead people will remember what he did and what he would do. In this way, the song keeps repeating the line “we’ll carry on.” To me, this means they won’t stop no matter what happens. The definition for “carry on” is to keep going even when something might be in your way. In conclusion, the main idea or thought of this song is that even when times get rough you have to keep going. How the song relates to my book: I believe that this relates to my story in one major way. In the story Sherlock asks his mother to do some snooping around in several of the houses where she teaches singing lessons. However when he asks her what she found, She tells him that one of the men gave her a drink that made her fell out of sorts. Sherlock then realizes that she has been poisoned. When she is dying she tells Sherlock to find the murderer and prove himself innocent. So Sherlock does just that, he finds the murder and proves himself and another suspect innocent. The message in Welcome To The Black Parade is generally the same idea. Just before the Father dies he tells his son that he wants him to join the Black Parade. So when the father dies, the son does just that. In both the song and the book the kids go on to ac-

I’m from grubby, twisted, soot blackened cobbled streets. From lights lite with a London sky. I’m from frigid nights, and a sizzling hot sun. I’m from foul, squalid streets. From newspapers and rotten vegetables being sold at chaffing prices. I’m from left to right penniless families.From gangs that will fight for their territory. I’m from the grimy old clothes on my back. They’re all I’ve got. I’m from people dying right in front of me. “And not being able to do anything.” I’m from forsaken buildings. “Where I spend the night.” I’m from a broken family. Torn away by alcohol. I’m from a miserable childhood. From nights spent alone, no one to tuck me in. I’m from crying myself to sleep. “And no one caring.” I’m from treating kids like rubbish Until I met Sherlock Holmes

Should we include this book in the school currriculum? Sherlock Holmes, the quickwitted, forensic genius, with his partner Watson at his side is ready for any mystery or case. Since 1887 when the first story was first published, Sherlock Holmes has been beloved classic for people of all ages. I have recently read Shane Peacocks awardwinning story “Eye Of The Crow”, the first story written about Sherlock when he was a kid, and i was asked the question, “should we include this book in our curriculum?” I think that the curriculum should include this book because it makes kids really think about what will happen and what
has already happened. people solve mysteries using clues, people reading this book have to think about the clues that he has found, and how they will help him solve the mystery. The other reason that I think that this book should be included in our curriculum is because kids can relate to it. Unlike all the other Sherlock Holmes when he is an adult. In this story Sherlock is a thirteen-year-old boy, making it easy for kids to relate to it. My final reason for including this book is because in this book kids can guess what will happen and maybe even who committed the crime. Page: 9 9 Page:
The first reason that I think that this book should be in the curriculum is because it really makes you think. To me this means that you have to take everything into consideration. In order to understand the book you will have to read the whole thing. Not like other books where you can just skim pages or skip to the end. You have to read the whole book so you know what clues he found telling him who did it, or what happened. For example in my book Sherlock finds a glass eye at the crime scene, which later helps him solve the crime. If I had skipped over that art I never would have known where or how he found it. The second reason that this book would be great in our curriculum is because kids can easily relate to it. In all the other Sherlock Holmes books he is an adult. Where as in this story he is a thirteen-year-old boy, mak-

ing it easy for kids that age to relate. If Sherlock does something, the child reading can contemplate whether he would do the same or try something else. Making the book more enjoyable for the reader. In the book Sherlock is the same age as me. Making this a more enjoyable book for me. The third and final reason that we should include this book in our curriculum is because it makes kids keep reading. When Sherlock finds clues it leads up to him solving the crime or mystery. When kids are reading, and Sherlock finds a clue they will think about how this will help him solve the mystery or crime. Part of the fun of reading this type of book is guessing what happened or who committed the crime. A book like this really makes kids think about swhat has happened and what will happen.
In conclusion I think that this would be a great book to be included in our curriculum. My first reasons, making you really think about the book. My second reason, in this book he is a thirteen-year-old boy, making it easy to relate. My last and final reason is because it makes kids keep reading. So all these would make a great book for students. Heck some of the teachers might even enjoy reading this book.
