Wolf's dinner

Wolfy's dinner


Ingredients:

2 lbs raw venison

1 tablespoon tumeric

2 teaspoons hedge mustard

3 cups rowanberries

8 willow leaves

4 tablespoons crushed beechnuts

5 10 cm long stipes of alder bark

6 elderberry leaves

2 pints water

7 basil leaves

2 teaspoons salt





Crush the rowan berries to make a fine juice, put in a pan and heat over a fire. While heating add hedge mustard,water, salt, tumeric and basil this will be the maranaid. In a bowl crush the alder bark into a thick, mushy paste and add this to the heating mixture. Bring the maranaid to a boil, remove from fire and strain. Soak the venison in the strained maranaid, leave for 12 hours. Slow roast the venison for 2 hours and let simmer for 5 minutes. Crush beechnuts and elderberry leaves in a bowl together and add to the venison. Slice the venison into 8 peices and wrap each in a willow leaf. Serve to wolf, a side of salmon cakes is opptional.



I think Wolf would like this food because wolf likes all the ingredients in it, mainly the rowan berries because they have medicinal properties and he likes the sweet and sour taste. Wolf also would really like the venison because wolves really like meat ecspecialy raw. Most of the ingredients are natral and are commonly found in the forest in my book; Outcast.

The Battle of the Labyrinth

Battle of the Labyrinth by Rick Riordan

The main setting in Battle of the Labyrinth is Camp Half-blood. It is a camp where all the half-blood heroes stay and learn how to swordfight and arch. The setting is important because the camp is far away from all the cities and all the people in the camp are children of the Greek gods or half-goat/half-human. No normal humans are allowed to know that the Greek legends and myths are true. Around the camp there is a borderline which keeps all the monsters out and the camp is the perfect size for the people in it. Within the camp area there is a lake, a big hill, a forest and lots of other important features that a camp needs. For instance, people can go canoeing in the lake.
There is an underground maze in Battle of the Labyrinth which is also an important setting because lots of action happens there. The story is based on what happens within the maze. Percy Jackson and three of his friends go into the maze in search of Dionosis, the man who made the maze. He can help them stop Luke's evil army from invading Camp Half-blood. The labyrinth is important because it takes Percy and his friends on many different paths and quests. They travel to different place from inside the maze, such as Geryn Triple G Ranch. Geryn is a huge, mean monster who owns the ranch. While at the ranch, Percy kills Geryn and forces Geryn's cowherd not to sell the weird monsters to Luke's evil army. Other reasons the maze is important are that there are many monsters in the maze who Percy's band encounters and one ancient monster that they befriend.
The setting of the maze gives the story a suspenseful feeling. But each time the characters go somewhere different in the maze, the tone of the story and gives a different feeling. For example, when Percy's group nearly dies from the monster on Alcatraz, it was a cliff hanger.
Both settings, the camp and the maze, are important because it really lays out how the Greek myths are real. Percy Jackson is in four books: The Lightening Thief, Sea of Monsters, The Titan's Curse, and The Battle of the Labyrinth.
