english work 12/2/19

So here is the is the excerpt I choose the reason I choose this is because it reminds me of that scene in Harry Potter and the philosopher's stone when Harry and Hagrid are walking down the streets of London to go to the leaky cauldron and this is how I imagined it in the books as a busy street with a cobblestone road with old buildings. I just imagine Hagrid towering over the normal sized people as he walks down the street because since he is so big he sticks out like a sore thumb in a large crowd. This can all so go the same for diagon alley when they go into there with all the signs sticking off the side of the buildings and the shop fronts and I just imagine the Gringotts at the end of the street sticking out from the rest of the other dark and old buildings.

Dublin, Ireland

by the HuffingtonPost

Ulysses by James Joyce


Of his epic classic, Joyce said, “I want to give a picture of Dublin so complete that if the city suddenly disappeared from the earth it could be reconstructed out of my book.” He accomplished all of that and then some.


From the book: “Mr. Leopold Bloom ate with relish the inner organs of beasts and fowls. He liked thick giblet soup, nutty gizzards, a stuffed roast heart, liver slices filled with crustcrumbs, fried hencod’s roes.”

english work similes and metaphors

in my own words what are similes well they are words that are used like this " you jump like a cat"
you are saying that you are similar to a cat while a metaphor is saying you are a cat for example "i am fast like a car

so here are a few songs that i can find with similes and metaphors in them

first song country roads
 by Bill Danoff /John Denver / Taffy Nivert Danoff

blue=similes 
yellow =metaphors 

 Almost heaven, West Virginia

Blue Ridge Mountains, Shenandoah River
Life is old there, older than the trees
Younger than the mountains, blowing like a breeze

Country roads, take me home
To the place I belong
West Virginia, mountain mama
Take me home, country roads

All my memories gather round her
Miner's lady, stranger to blue water
Dark and dusty, painted on the sky
Misty taste of moonshine, teardrop in my eye

Country roads, take me home
To the place I belong
West Virginia, mountain mama
Take me home, country roads

I hear her voice, in the morning hour she calls me
The radio reminds me of my home far away
And driving down the road I get a feeling
That I should have been home yesterday, yesterday

Country roads, take me home
To the place I belong
West Virginia, mountain mama
Take me home, country roads

Country roads, take me home
To the place I belong
West Virginia, mountain mama
Take me home, country roads

Take me home, down country roads
Take me home, down country roads

Songwriters: Bill Danoff / John Denver / Taffy Nivert Danoff

second song 

toto Africa 

second song
Toto Africa

I hear the drums echoing tonight
But she hears only whispers of some quiet conversation
She's coming in, 12:30 flight
The moonlit wings reflect the stars that guide me towards salvation
I stopped an old man along the way
Hoping to find some long forgotten words or ancient melodies
He turned to me as if to say, "Hurry boy, it's waiting there for you"

It's gonna take a lot to take me away from you
There's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do
I bless the rains down in Africa
Gonna take some time to do the things we never had

The wild dogs cry out in the night
As they grow restless, longing for some solitary company
I know that I must do what's right
As sure as Kilimanjaro rises like Olympus above the Serengeti
I seek to cure what's deep inside, frightened of this thing that I've become

It's gonna take a lot to drag me away from you
There's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do
I bless the rains down in Africa
Gonna take some time to do the things we never had

Hurry boy, she's waiting there for you

It's gonna take a lot to drag me away from you
There's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do
I bless the rains down in Africa
I bless the rains down in Africa
(I bless the rain)
I bless the rains down in Africa
(I bless the rain)
I bless the rains down in Africa
I bless the rains down in Africa
(Ah, gonna take the time)
Gonna take some time to do the things we never had

Songwriters: David Paich / Jeff Porcaro

The power of one english essay

in English we were asked to write an essay about the power of one the movie that we watch in English and here is my essay

The power of one was a film made in 1992 by a director named John Avildsen.
It shows many things throughout the movie but the main plot is centred around the apartheid and all the hatred towards the English people from the Afrikaners and the disrespect of many black people. And how Hitler had an effect on the Afrikaner people during the time known as World II.

The scene opens on a close up of Jaapie Botha getting a swastika carved into his arm when P.K the main protagonist is being carried into what looks like a hall by a group of boys.
The close up shows a razor blade carving into his arm with a swastika oozing out blood.

then there is another scene right after they show the swastika they show a shot of his face in a close up with a blank face showing that he is hiding the pain to show that he is strong. Directors purpose was to show that the effects that world war two had on the young Afrikaners he showed that the young Afrikaner people saw Hitler as a role “model” And the devastating effect that it had on the English people.The effect that the scene had on the audience was to make them cringe as they watched a razor blade carve into his arm. Going back to the scene where he is getting a swastika carved into his arm they show a scene right after that to show a close up of his face to show how painful it is but he has a blank face to show that he is hiding the pain.In the scene of jaapie Botha getting a swastika carved into to his arm they are playing German marching song on a radio this is diegetic sound. For example, we know this because in a later scene we can hear the music in the scene and that the actors respond to it. The reason to why they put the song in the background is to show that they are patriotic. The effect it has is it makes you feel somewhat patriotic and it shows the audience that the boys are patriotic.

During the scene with jaapie Botha getting a swastika carved on his arm, they use low lighting. The low lighting is the key to show the scene in a dark matter. The director uses low lighting to show that they are trying to keep hidden and it shows the dark matter of the subject. The effect that it has on the audience is that it makes you feel like something bad is happening. The lighting goes very well with the close-up shot of jaapie getting a swastika carved into his arm because it gives the scene a very dark feeling.

In the end, the movie was a good film made by a director who did his research.
There were many bad things that happened throughout the movie it showed many acts of bravery and poor treatment of black people and the hatred from the Afrikaners towards the English.
I would recommend watching this movie if you want to learn about the apartheid.
