    Ruth Punton

    Born and educated in Dunedin New Zealand.Now retired and living in Busselton Western Australia.When I'm not writing, I read mainly murder mysteries. Painting and photography I also enjoy.As a humanist I consider that all people are more important than any belief system.As a feminist I believe that women, though different from men, should be equal to them in all ways excepting in anatomy and physiology.I am an atheist although I think the whole idea of god is an unknowable concept.I vote Green for no other reason in they have more compassion for people than any other political party.I do not believe Australia is a democracy. How can we be when every 3 or 4 years we can vote for one or t'other and have to put up them and their many stupid ideas for the next 4 years. With the advance in technology why are we not asked by our representative what we think about all major issues and they vote for what we say and not the party.

      Jun 19, 2019

      Often when people talk about “the music of language” they make it sound like a mere frill, something we add to “dress up” plain writing. I don’t agree with this view. At the heart of language, I hear music—word-music, akin in many ways to instrumenta

      Most of the information is specific to the genre covered in this module. It is presumed that writers have already absorbed the necessary information in writing a story taught in the earlier modules.

      Chapter 1

      Writing for Children

      -

      Reading skills are the most important branch of learning. For children, it is the way to all further knowledge.

      Children who read early have a strong starting point from which to acquire and understand more knowledge.

      Failure and stress are the main reasons of poor reading skills.
