MOONFLEET ACTIVITY
I have chosen this picture because it reminds me the ship in page 97 (chapter 9).
This is one of my favourite parts in the story because John survives surprisingly; but Elzevir don't. This is also one of the saddest parts in the story because John realizes that Elzevir died when he wakes up in the floor of the Why Not Inn because Ratsey tolds him.

Moonfleet Picture

Moonfleet Pictures

This picture is related with the Chapter 7:The well, reminds me when John goes down the well that was in Carisbrooke Castle to find the cursed diamond of  Mohune John.

This well is full of passages and doors, remind us a labyrinth.

In this part of the story, John went down 80 feet in depth to find the diamond, which was hidden behind a rock with a big Y engraved on it.

Moonfleet picture

Curchyard of Moonfleet.

In this picture we can see a lot of old tombstones. I think is in a curchyard or a cemetery that is looking at a village.

This picture represents chapter two, when John is siting in the curchyard on a stone looking at the sea, he saw there were a lot of cracks because of the floods and bad weather of November. 
He notice that one crack got bigger and looked down, he saw that it was like a small hole. 
He was very excited when he saw something under the tomb!

This image is from chapter 4.

in the picture we can see the crypt were John can`t scape. In chapter 3 he went there to find the Blackbeard`s treasure.

in chapter 4 he was there and he didn't know how much time pass from he was there.

 he didn`t know what to do and each day that pass he was more hungry and thirsty and one of the days he fainted end when he wake up he saw a sunny room and he know that it was his aunt house.

MONFLEET CHAPTER 9

MOONFLEET:

A STORM AT SEA

I´ve found this great image while I was surfing the net i i thought that would be great for this chapter.

As you can see, the first image is related whith the chapter 9 of Moonfleet, A storm at sea, when Jonh Trenchard scape to Moonfleet.

In the picture you can see a great ship, called schooner, from 1500 more or less,in the middle of a brave storm in the Atlantic Ocean, when explorers travel from Europe to America. 

The second one, is more recently, from 2000 maybe, and is a fishing ship, also in the middle of a storm in the Pacific Ocean, whith this HUGE WAVES.

1.A SCHOONER AT THE BRAVE, STORMY SEA.

2.A MODERN FISHING SHIP AT A STORM.

I HOPE YOU NEVER BE IN THIS STORM¡,

MOONFLEET PICTURE

I have choosen this picture with a well that there is a person inside because it reminds me the part of the story where John was inside the well looking for the diamond. He went down more and he found a bag. John opened the bag and inside there was the diamond. I like this part of the story because in my grandfather´s house there is a well and when my brother and me go to the village we like to take water from the well.
