Chapter 36

“Those are father’s words, Inan. His decisions. Not yours. We are our own

people. We make our own choices.”

“But he’s right.” Inan’s voice cracks. “If we don’t stop magic, Orïsha will fall."

His eyes return to me, and I tighten my grip on my staff. Try it, I want to bark.

I’m done running away.

Amari redirects Inan’s line of vision, her delicate hands cupping the back of his

head.

“Father is not the future of Orïsha, brother. We are. We stand on the right side

of this. You can stand there, too.”

Inan stares at Amari, and for a moment I don’t know who he is. The ruthless

captain; the little prince; the scared and broken maji? There’s a longing in his

eyes, a desire to give up the fight. But when he lifts his chin, the killer I know

comes back.

When I read this text it makes me feel sorry for both sides, they have been fighting for so long over something that belongs to the maji. When Amari is talking you can tell that Inan is really listing hard, and we get a hint of what is to come. 

Chapter 33 – Zélie

Chapter 33 – Zélie

Gods help us. I close my eyes, trying to drown the tragedy out. Through it all,

the cheers never stop. The praise never ends. As we stand on the platform, the

crowd rejoices as if there’s a reason to celebrate this bloodbath.

Beside me, Tzain holds me close; he hasn’t really let go since he carried me

from the ship. He keeps his expression vacant, but I can sense his remorse.

Though the competitor in him has prevailed, we’re still covered in the blood of

those who have fallen. We may have triumphed, but this is no victory.

This reminds me of fast and furious, and how dom is always putting family first.

Chapter 28- Amari

 Be brave, Amari
   This time I hold onto Binta's words, wrapping them around my body like a suit of armour. I can be brave

A message I take from this text is that no madder what happens, we will always hold onto the words of our loved ones, even when in danger.   

Chapter 26

Chapter 26 - Inan
“How long?” she breathes. “How long have you been a maji?”
She hisses the word like it’s a curse. Like I’m the spitting image of Lekan. Not
the boy she’s known since birth. The soldier she’s trained for years.
“The girl infected me. It’s not permanent.”
“You’re lying.” Her lips peel back in disgust. “Are you…are you working with
her?”
“No! I was looking for clues!” I step forward. “I know where she is–”
“Stay back!” Kaea screams. I freeze, hands in the air. There’s no recognition in
her eyes.
Only unbridled fear.

This hate of maji can be compared to many of the royals, including him. The type of hate that is shown towards the maji can only be taught. I predict that Inan will help Zelie and the others to bring back magic to Orisha.

1. Explain the purpose of this activity?

The purpose of this activity was to help us gain an understanding of the aboriginal culture 

      2. Explain the story on your boomerangs 

The semi-circle with five lines is a human footprint and we can see them leading towards to full circle with semi-circles around it, This is a meeting place. In the back round, we can see a sunset witch stands for the time of day they are meeting.

Chapter 22

Chapter 22 - AmariI pause for a moment, aghast at the number of them filling the narrow path. Before today, I caught only glimpses of the labourers brought in to staff the palace-always pleasant, clean, groomed to Mother’s satisfaction. Like Binta, I thought they lived simple lives, safe within the palace walls. I never considered where they came from, where else they might have ended up, “Skies…” It’s almost too hard to bear the sight. Mostly, diviners, the labourers outnumber the villagers by hordes, dressed in nothing but tattered rags. Their dark skin blisters under the scorching sun, marred by the dirt and sand seemingly burned into their beings. Each is hardly more than a walking skeleton.                                                                                                                                                                          A message I take from this scene is that while the rich get richer the poor get poorer. This can be compared to real-life especially in developing countries 

Chapter 23

Chapter 23 - Zélie

Metal gates fly open on the sides of the arena floor, and an endless flow of

water rushes in. This has to be a mirage. Yet litre after litre flows in. The water

covers the metal ground, crashing with the expanse of a sea.“How is this possible?” I hiss under my breath, remembering the labourers no

more than skin and bone. So many dying for water and they waste it on this?

The treatment towards the labourers unfair and horrible.  This reminds me of the amount of unfair treatment towards women in the middle east.

This also reminds me of how the Romans had mock sea battle as well.

My food bag Semester

Who was my profile target?
My profile was men in their late 20s most likely in there prime, who had a physically active job. eg construction worker.
https://docs.google.com/drawings/d/1cpLwTtnUoyYII9tnR_28Eg9x0T6WKaCeWwGBzRu49uE/edit?usp=sharing
What was your recipe decision based on? Explain why this recipe was chosen?
For this project, the three members of our group had to make a recipe based on the profile they had chosen. My meal was a chicken burrito, my other member's made recipes for a beef burger and the other one made a recipe for a Kumara and chickpea burger.
When it came to deciding on what recipe to choose, we wanted the most creative one out of the three we had made. It also needs a lot of nutritional value. We decide in the Kumara and chickpea veggie burgers.

1. Place kumara on a plate and cook in the microwave for 5-10 mins ( you will know its cooked when you poke it with a fork and it's soft). Cool slightly.
2. Place chickpeas in a large microwavable bowl. Cook for 4-8 mins or until soft.

6. Place lettuce on the buns. Add patties on top and top with other fillings. Enjoy.

What changes did we make the second time around?
On the second time around, we add red onion, more spice and let it cool for the full half hour.
We added the red onion for clour, and the spice for more flavour as it was quite plain the first time, And made sure that the mixture was cool so the patties were formed easily.

What have I learnt this semester?
I learnt that there are alternatives for meat. eg kumara
I also learnt that bacteria has 6 needs to live.

Art Term 2 End Blog

I did a page about what I think is awesome about Hornby High School

What was my focal point and why?

My focal point is the text at the top left of the page.

I used this to be my focal point because I think it is the most important part of my work.

How are your shapes and lines leading you to your focal point? I used the bright yellow beams to attract eyes and lead them to the text

Why did you choose the colours you did?

In my plan, I decided to keep my page simple so there are not many colours.

How did my page mix with my partner's page?

We both have a plain yellow page.

I would rate myself 3.

Metal Carbonates

Aim: To show that carbon dioxide gas is produced when a metal carbonate reacts with acid.

Method:
1. Light your Bunsen Burner
2. Add a 'pea-sized'  amount of metal carbonate into one of the boiling tubes.
3. Place this boiling tube into a test tube rack. Ensure you have the bung and delivery tube ready.
4. Add 5 mL of acid to the boiling tube and quickly insert the bung and delivery tube ready.
5. Holding the other boiling tube with your tongs, capture the gas produced as shown in the diagram below.
6. When you think the tube is full, your lab partner should light a wooden splint.
7. Carefully remove the boiling tube from under the delivery tube, taking care to keep it facing upright.
8. Insert the burning splint into the mouth of the test tube.

Observations:
When acid was added it started to bubble.
