Yesterday myself and four other Y8's spent the day in Mr Mossip's class. While the other Y8's went to the school production. It was really fun and we watched youtube clips about a man on a wire. The youtube clip was based on a documentary on a French man called Philipe's life of tight rope walking, in the documentary it explained why he was so good at tight rope walking and things about Philipe's life. Philipe was a daredevil but instead of jumping out of building's or jumping across the Grand Canyon on a motorbike, Philipe tight rope walked across high/tall buildings, this was illegal so Philipe generally had to generate plans so that he would be able to get to the top of the building without being discovered by any kind of security.
Philipe travelled around the world tight roping across things, their were a group of people that travelled with Philipe. The people that travelled with Philipe often varied and changed, probably because they were scared that they were gonna get caught. At the end of the film Philipe finally conquered his dream of crossing the Twin Towers he did this in the year 1974.
