Monk (Voodoo's Curse)


I am studying about Mystery novels and stories and in class so we watched a Monk episode. The episode is called Voodoo's Curse. This is what the story is like.
There is a kid playing baseball he hit that ball and it hit an old woman and she died. The old woman lives alone so when her family came to her house they found an Voodoo doll on her table. The family went to a detective and told them about the crime. The detective people tried to find out about the crime. Then soon someone else got killed it went in the newspaper it says Golfer got struck by lightning and that person who got struck by lightning also have an Voodoo doll. Mr. Monk tried to find some clues and to solve this case. There is a third crime someone died because of an heart attack that person also got an Voodoo doll and his niece Angelene talked to Mr. Monk about the crime of her uncle and what happened and she said that his uncle died because he's an heart patient and ate medicine and died. When Mr. Monk went home from work he saw his assistant Natalie crying when Mr. Monk asked Natalie why is she crying she said she got an Voodoo doll and Mr. Monk tried to solve this case because already 3 people got an Voodoo doll and all 3 of them died but not Natalie yet. Mr. Monk and all the detective people went into this shop that sells Voodoo dolls and that person does sell it. Natalie got scared that she is going to die and one day Mr. Monk invited the person who sells Voodoo dolls to Natalie's house to cure her. The man made some potions to cure Natalie but Natalie just drank the potion when it's not done. She started to not feel well so they called 911 and the paramedic is Angelene and Mr. Monk and the guy who sells voodoo dolls followed Natalie to the hospital. But suddenly Mr. Monk discovered that Angelene is the bad person because in all the crimes Angelene is the paramedic and in the ambulence Angelene was about to kill Natalie but Mr. Monk saved her so finally Angelene went to jail.

The PLASTIKI



The Plastiki

The picture that is shown above is the AWESOME PLASTIKI! the boat is made out of recycled plastic bottles but not all of the parts of the boat is made out of plastic bottles only the bottom part. Their goal is to sail the Plastiki from San Francisco to Sydney, Australia an 11 thousand mile journey don't you think it's cool?
David de Rothschild came up with the idea of the Plastiki and it took him 3 years to build this amazing boat Plastiki. It took him 3 years to build it because first he has to sketch the model of the Plastiki then he built it. He said that we should start using waste as resource. The Plastiki is actually made out of 12,500 plastic bottles that is a lot! In the Plastiki there is a quite big cabin in there and also they put a small vegetable garden which is cool.
David de Rothschild built the Plastiki because he wanted to make it out of waste like he said using waste as resource.
