Tom has to kill a friend of Dickie and avoid be found guilty.
Finnaly Tom makes a false gives all his possessions to Tom, and in this way Tom become rich.

Opinion:

It's an original novel because the main character is not like the ones the books use to have, instead of that, he is a murderer without mercy but despite of that youy want him to succeed and to fool the police.
The plot is right but I think that if the police had done the investigations in the same waythey do in real life, they'll had found Tom guilty.

Lantern Fest

Such a beautiful thing!
It's like illuminating the night with little lights that each one had released and the lanterns together, with a small collaboration of each one become so nice and contribute to enhance the natural beauty of the night.
Most people also can write a wish or something they like and after launch it in the sky.
I love the sentence added at the beginning of the video, it makes all this more special and inspiring.
The only problem I see doing this is that I don't know where they will end up, maybe they will become trash...

Human catapullt

This human bungee slingshot it's Simply amazing!
I don't know who has invented this, but sure he was crazily fun! And the first one to try it even more. It has to be a shot of adrenaline when the rope is maximum tensed and the quad releases you. I don't know how much fast you go at the beginning but it has to be so fast. Your must feel like flying and sure that more than one had imagined that will crash against the mountain.

Go Further-Walking for the fisrt time!

This video shows a great act of solidarity. There's a group of people helping others that had problems with their legs caused mostly by an accident that can not walk any more. It includes child and old people, they all had been helped with a protesis they cannot afford.
The best of this fact is that they had returned the desire of continue living to people that was depressed and thought that they won't be able to walk again. And now they are not only able to walk, they can also run.

Nazi Reality Show

Reallity shows often put contestants in uncomfortable positions, but in the Czech Republic, TV producrs are taking that idea to the extreme. A new series called "Holiday in the Protectorate" sees a family of seven experience what it was like to live under Nazi occupation. The show's creator says she wrote it in memory of her grandparents.
Around the world, the idea has attracted plenty of criticism but in the Czech Republic, viewers are curious. The creator says the programme will show young people what living in that time was like. The majority of young people don't have a clue about what happened.
So why would anyone want to live under Nazi occupation? Well, the family will milion Czech Koruna, around 26,000 pounds, if they can endure two months of hardship and Nazi interrogation.

criticism: to say oppinion of good and bad things
clue: prova
endure: to suffer through something
