The 2017 Wicked Young Writer Awards Finalist Entries 5-7 Age Category Wicked Young Writer Awards 2017 In partnership with 2017 The 2017 Wicked Young Writer Awards Finalist Entries 5-7 Age Category Wicked Young Writer Awards 2017 Auntie Helen has gone to Heaven By Adam Rafael Holmes Auntie Helen was 82 years old When her eyes were closed and arms were afold. She died a few weeks ago And this is something that I know. She followed the light that goes up to Heaven She left when I was only 7. The angels said ”You are welcome here”, From high in the sky they can see so clear. Angels are lovely. Old spirits they are. They check if you are good or bad Try to make sure you are not sad, The shine from their halos spreads out far. You should not be sad Auntie Helen has died She has Dinkie, Gem and Uncle Bry by her side. Can you come back as a ghost To tell me what you have seen? About the gardens of flowers And grass so green, Where you can do your sowing and planting Pumpkins for Halloween. When you come back again, Maybe a cat you will be To live as my pet and fetch mice for me. 2 5-7 Age Category You could talk like Puss in Boots. Or become a tree with long roots. Perhaps a bow-head whale, You would flip and flap your tail. Beware people on ships looking over the rail. For two hundred years you could sail. Or be a crocodile and talk with me on the land Because if you are a whale, you might get stuck in the sand. If you are sad when someone has died You will get too frightened when you rest And you might cry. In Heaven, it must be fun When you go up there, you can find everyone. There might be competitions and games to be won. Auntie Helen is back in Heaven Now her teacher life on Earth is done. 3 Wicked Young Writer Awards 2017 The Four Seasons By Rosa Little Spring The Colours of Spring Fluttering white and delicate pink Dazzling yellow and brilliant green Don’t forget sunshiney! Sunshiney orange The colours of my springtime walk. Summer A Summer Spell Add the juice of some fat, juicy blackberries And the petals of a shining dandelion, streaming with light. Put a pinch of pollen gathered by stripy bees And some water from the jellyfish seas. Don’t forget to add some leaves And a long slimy piece of wet seaweed. Mix it all up with expression and fun. Your heart beating fast as a dinosaur runs! You’ll need the see of a glowing white dandelion And the sweet song of a nightingale. Autumn Harvest School Assembly If this tin of beans could talk, it would say: “Welcome to my country. I’m sorry you had to leave your home. I hope you will be happy here. I think we should give you some money and somewhere to live.” Not just a tin of beans. 4 5-7 Age Category Winter The Winter Girl I heard a knock at my door. I went to the door, but there was nothing there Except for two shivering white snowflakes. I was just about to close the door When I heard a quavering voice. It said, “These snowflakes are my eyes And I’m made of icy wind. My hair is shimmering snow And my clothes are ice and frost.” 5 Wicked Young Writer Awards 2017 Harry’s Quest By Alistair Murray Chapter 1 - Capsize ne dull night a boat was sailing into the Great Battle of Vengeance. A O soldier saw the man in the boat; he threw a stick of dynamite. The boat collapsed, Harry died, but he wasn’t dead - in fact, he was a ghost with a dragon. Chapter 2 - Finding a Cave Harry rode his dragon for two months. Then he found a cave, he made a campfire. He was the strongest man in the world, but one man called Banana was spying on him. The banana threw a stick of dynamite, it landed on a tree - BOOM! Banana’s master, who was called Wag Tail, shouted, “Come on mate we are retreating.” Chapter 3 - The Battle of Doom Harry went to America on his dragon and because he was a ghost the dynamite hadn’t killed him. He wasn’t happy that someone had tried to stop him on his quest to find the hidden jewel of teleportation. There was a massive fight in America as they were trying to get rid of Donald Trump. Harry saw his chance to find the hidden jewel that he had tracked to the White House. In the White House, Harry saw a sword it said, ‘“Harry take me, rescue me from this place, it’s horrible. I can help you on your quest.” Chapter 4 - The Sword Helps Harry As Harry touched the sword it teleported him to an empty castle; Harry was confused. Where was he? Why had the sword brought him here? He would have to use his dragon but they didn’t have any food with them, and the dragon was hungry. Before they could take off, the sword told him that there was a storeroom full of food. He teleported them into the room, and the dragon could eat and become strong again. Harry realised that he had completed his quest, he had found the jewel of transportation - it was the sword or the red jewel on the handle of the sword. Chapter 5 - Going to France The dragon roared a massive roar that meant they needed to go somewhere, but first, they saw something. It was someone in the corner of the room. Harry got his sword that now had his name on the blade, and he swished it around in the air above his head. He waved it at the person’s head, and he said, “Do you want to join our quest?” The dragon roared again and flapped his wings. This 6 5-7 Age Category meant that he wanted to leave at once. With the sword they could go anywhere they wanted. They left, leaving the man sitting in the corner shaking. Harry jumped on the dragon’s back pointing the sword upwards. They teleported to France finding themselves in a dark, dull, black forest with the dragon. Had the dragon wished himself home? There was a big cave in front of them. The dragon looked towards the cave. Harry said that they better stay there for the night as it was getting dark and had begun to rain. They walked into the cave and Harry made a campfire with the help from the dragon’s fire and the sword to chop the wood. Harry went to sleep and had a strange dream. He was in a cottage handing the sword over to a person. He jumped up and shouted, “That’s it, we need to get the jewel to a person in a cottage.” He looked in the corner of the cave and saw a person standing shivering. They had seen the glow of the fire and come into the cave. Harry said that the person could use their fire to get warm and then he and the dragon slipped out without the person seeing them leave. Chapter 6 - The Witch in the Swamp The sword teleported them to a swamp and in front of them was a witch. She cackled and said, “You’ve brought my sword back to me, thank you, Harry.” Harry replied, “Oh, I came here for the end of the quest - which is to kill you.” The sword transported him to where the witch stood, and he chopped her head off. He woke to find himself in a cottage. He said, “Where am I?” A voice said, “You are and have been under my control. You have now stopped being a ghost and are free to go and live your life. Thank you for killing the witch and giving me back my sword.” 7 Wicked Young Writer Awards 2017 The Story Of Delilah’s Shoes By Delilah Harris Cobain ne rainy day in Bristol Delilah went to the shop NEXT and chose me! I O couldn’t have been happier. Little did I know that Delilah was such an adventurous girl. The first thing we did together was run and jump into a big puddle! It was my first wash ever. Then I felt the grass and leaves on my skin; it felt so refreshing. Delilah took me home and tested me out with sport and gym moves on the street; she could even do the box splits! Then we went climbing up a gravel hill, which felt rough and abrasive, like sandpaper. Not one of my precious flowers rubbed off; I thanked my shoe makers. Delilah’s feet felt soft and cosy; we were a great fit. Delilah loves walking in the woods and climbing trees. She showed me how to get from branch to branch, gripping with my super rubber soles, and how to climb over a fence. I was proud to protect Delilah’s feet from any brambles. As a special treat, Delilah took me free-wheeling down a hill, w-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e- e-e-e-e! 8 5-7 Age Category The Fairy Who Was Scared of Her Own Magic By Ella Whitehall nce upon a time, there lived three fairies. They lived in a beautiful meadow, O and it was always sunny. Their house was a mushroom in the middle of the fairy village.

The Stanford University Heart Transplant Study was conducted to determine whether an experimental heart transplant program increased life span. Each patient entering the program was designated an official heart transplant candidate, meaning they were gravely ill and would most likely benefit from a new heart. Some patients got a transplant and some did not. The variable transplant indicates which group the patents were in; patients in the treatment group got a transplant and those in the control group did not. Another variable called survived was used to indicate whether or not the patient was alive at the end of the study.

  • Answers to Review Exercises
    Answers to Review Exercises Part I. Design of Experiments Chapter 2. Observational Studies 1. (a) Too hasty. What about population size? Comments: Michigan may include the big bad city, but Minnesota has twice the population of Michigan. The crime rate is lower in Michigan. (Of course, there probably are neighborhoods in Detroit that are best avoided.) (b) This is better reasoning, because the population of the U.S. increased over the period 1991–2001. Looking at rates would make the point even more clearly. (In fact, there has been a remarkable decline in crime rates over the period 1980–2005.) 2. (a) What’s missing is the number of cars on the road, and there were a lot more Corvettes. (For example, 33,586 Corvettes were sold in 2002, versus 8,065 Q45s.) You need to look at rates. If anything, thieves prefer the Q45—a much classier car. (b) Same issue as (a). (c) False. The rate is low because the denominator is large relative to the numerator. The rate compares the number of jeeps stolen to the number sold. That’s the point of using a rate. 3. No. In the Salk trial, the parents who consented were on the whole better off than the parents who did not consent, and their children were more at risk to begin with (p.4). 4. (a) They were controlling for age and sex as possible confounders; this is discussed on p.13, with respect to a specific disease—lung cancer. (b) This is the wrong conclusion to draw. Ex-smokers are a self-selected group, and many people give up smoking because they are sick.
