Aron Ralston, 27, went out for a one-day walk in a US national park and was trapped when heavy rocks fell on him. An 800 lb (365kg) rock, or boulder, moved and fell on his right arm. He couldn’t move his arm because it was trapped between the rock and the mountain. He stayed in this position for five days. He had very little food with him and only a few litres of water. After five days, he knew that to escape he had to cut off his arm. He thought about it carefully and then managed to amputate it with a small pocket knife. The operation took about an hour.

Mr Ralston then climbed down the mountain and walked 10 kilometres looking for help. Finally, he found some other walkers about three kilometres from a town. When he was rescued, he was very thirsty but calm.

After his ordeal, Mr Ralston said, ‘I did what I had to do’. He also said that while he was trapped on the mountain, he sometimes felt at peace and at other times he felt depressed and very frightened.

Surprisingly, he wants to return to the wild when he has recovered.

Fish has been eaten in Britain, an island, for thousands of years. In the 17th century potatoes were brought from Latin America. However, it wasn’t until the 19th century that a Mr Marlin had the idea of putting fish and potatoes together and making fish and chips. When he opened his fish and chip shop in London in 1860 it quickly became popular with working people who needed quick, filling meals.

By the 1920s there were 31,000 fish and chip shops in Britain and although this number is now only 8,000, there are eight for every McDonald’s. A recent study found that Britain’s favourite fast food is still fish and chips. Second, third, and fourth positions went to pizza (Italian), duck (Chinese), and curry (Indian). Interestingly, the hamburger wasn’t in the top ten.

The traditional way to eat fish and chips is to buy them wrapped in paper and to eat them with salt and vinegar. They used to be wrapped in newspaper but most are sold in white paper now. People eat their fish and chips in the street or take them home – and some people admit that they eat them in bed!

Bill Murray, Dan Ackroyd, and Harold Ramis starred in the 1984 film, Ghostbusters. This comedy film tells the story of three men who open a ghostbuster office. They are paid to go into haunted homes and offices to get rid of unwanted spirits and ghosts. The film won prizes for the title song and the special effects.

When the 1972 film The Exorcist was shown it caused a lot of arguments between people who thought it was entertainment and others who said it was dangerous. The film tells the story of a young girl who has a bad spirit living inside her. Her mother asked a vicar to help her cure the girl. This frightening horror film won lots of awards

including best picture, best actress, best sound, and best screenplay from a book.

A more recent film with a supernatural story is Bruce Willis’s 1999 film, The Sixth Sense. In this film, Bruce Willis plays the part of a doctor who looks after a young boy with behavioural problems. The boy ‘sees’ terrible things and in the end he tells his doctor, Willis, about his supernatural secret: he is visited by ghosts. A thrilling and frightening film, it was nominated for six awards but won nothing.
