About the Author John Robert Parker Ravenscroft, OBE (30 August 1939 25 October 2004), known professionally as John Peel, was an English disc jockey, radio presenter, record producer and journalist. He was the longest serving of the original BBC Radio 1 DJs, broadcasting regularly from 1967 until his death in 2004. He was known for his eclectic taste in music and his honest and warm broadcasting style. He was one of the first broadcasters to play psychedelic rock and progressive rock records on British radio, and he is widely acknowledged for promoting artists working in various genres, including pop, reggae, indie pop, indie rock, alternative rock, punk, hardcore punk, breakcore, grindcore,death metal, British hip hop, electronic music and dance music. Fellow DJ Paul Gambaccini described him as "the most important man in music for about a dozen years". Peel's Radio 1 shows were notable for the regular "Peel sessions", which usually consisted of four songs recorded by an artist live in the BBC's studios, and which often provided the first major national coverage to bands that later would achieve great fame. Another popular feature of his shows was the annual Festive Fifty countdown of his listeners' favourite records of the year. Peel appeared occasionally on British television as one of the presenters of Top of the Pops in the 1980s, and he provided voice-over commentary for a number of BBC programmes. He became popular with the audience of BBC Radio 4 for his Home Truths programme, which ran from the 1990s, featuring unusual stories from listeners' domestic lives. Peel was born in Heswall Cottage Hospital in Heswall on the Wirral Peninsula, near Liverpool, and grew up in the nearby village of Burton. His father was an upper middle-class cotton merchant, and he was sent away to be educated as a boarder at Shrewsbury School. His housemaster, R. H. J. Brooke, whom Peel described as "extraordinarily eccentric" and "amazingly perceptive", wrote on one of his school reports, "Perhaps it's possible that John can form some kind of nightmarish career out of his enthusiasm for unlistenable records and his delight in writing long and facetious essays." In his posthumously published autobiography, Peel revealed that he had been raped by an older pupil while at Shrewsbury. After finishing his National Service in 1959 in the Royal Artillery as a B2 radar operator he worked as a mill operative on the fourth floor at Townhead Mill in Rochdale and travelled home each weekend to Heswall on a scooter borrowed from his sister. Whilst in Rochdale Monday to Friday, he stayed in a bed-and-breakfast in the area of Milkstone Road and Drake Street

and developed long-term associations with Rochdale through the years. Peel was a vegetarian.

Summary The doomsday virus was released when Devon did it. Tristan was trying to stop the doomsday virus by letting his computerized guard dogs keep the virus at bay. He let the guard dogs breed. Tristan didnt know their ability but they were breeding like crazy. Some other people thought that the guard dogs were the virus. Meanwhile at Shimodas office, Genia was trying to find the criminal that created the virus. She found Tristan Connor so she told Shimoda with her mini terminal. After Shimoda suspected that Tristan Connor created the doomsday virus, Shimoda and the Shields were tracking him down. Tristan knew they would suspect him, so he went to the Worth family house. Marka and Mora was home when he went there. Tristan wanted to use Moras, terminal so Mora escorted him to her room. Tristan tried to turn on the terminal but it didnt turn on. Tristan asked Mora why but Mora answered she disconnected it. Mora locked Tristan in her room and said I called the Shields because they said you were the criminal. Then tears ran down on her face. Tristan was terrified and angry at the same time. While he was in the room Marka sneaked to Moras room and inserted the code. The door opened and Tristan was scared but it was just Marka. Then they swiftly and silently went to the front door without Mora noticing. Tristan found out how they were tracking him, how but with his chip. After knowing he went to the plane crash site and he stole a chip from a young man so he went to the old and primitive book library. He used an old and primitive computer but it turned on. He checked the information in the chip but there was no name. Then he checked the money in it and the money was unlimited. So he went to Overlook and get Devon. Tristan went to Devons room but Devon wasnt there in his room. So he tried to stop the virus but the malefactor saw him. He looked like Devon so he left. Tristan went out of Devons room but Shimoda was there.

Setting Place: New york city Time: 2099 Conclusion The lesson that I have learned in the story is to be considerate. I learned this because Tristan should understand that people just want the best for him. I have also learned that you shouldnt betray people because if you betray them you might be the one blamed.
