Caveman drawing

1. What is it? It is a pic of me and the bros
2. Why is it important to me? It is important to me because I value friendship very highly    
3. How does my drawing fit in with traditional cave art? It is very simple and has basic colours 

Chapter 79 – Zélie
Inan’s amber eyes trap me in the truth of his betrayal, but it isn’t the gaze I
know. He’s a stranger. A soldier. The shell of the little prince.

I can fell Zelie building her walls back towards Inan. She sees a different person to the one she met at the maji camp, she sees a man without a soul, a soldier. Just a shell of the man she once knew.

Note: It is interesting to think about how Zélie became an empty “shell” after Saran
tortured her. After talking with Saran, Inan became a shell, also.
Thinking back to when Inan said they had no choice but to kill the maji.
Zélie said, “There’s always a choice.”

What problems did our early ancestors face and what technology did they develop to solve them

What problems did our early ancestors face and what technology did they develop to solve them?

Our ancestors did not have power or water running out of taps or tools to help them with daily task.
How did they solve these problems? As our ancestor's brains started to develop more and more, they started using stone tools for hunting and building shelter, They did not have heat pumps to heat their homes up they used fire to keep them self warm during the winter. Also, they faced the problem of growing food, they spent years breeding crop to make them stronger.
We have an easy life.
We have supermarkets and power for heat.

Chapter 74 – Inan
Note: This time you have not been provided with a quote from the story. This is an
explanation.
King Saran firmly believes in duty over self. Peace between maji and kosidán
failed in the past, so he does not want to try again.
Inan believes he must make a similar choice between his country and his
heart. He makes the same choice as his father, even though the majacite
sword blisters his own skin (this is symbolism). Inan gives up everything to be
everything his Father wants.

I think that you should do what feels right to you, just because you have been told your whole life that you will be king one day does not you mean you have to listen.

Are cellphones a drug

Are students addicted to their, If so, is that a problem?

I think students are not addicted to their cellphones but the apps they have on them e.x. snap chat,
Facebook or Instagram. People say that kids now days are anti-social but really the most of the time we
are chatting with our friends via social media. Some kids may feel the need to be on their cell phones all
the time, but it is not an addiction they are most likely chatting with friends. In this age smartphones are
our main source of communication and without out them we would not be able to achieve many things
like travelling or call family

Chapter 66-Inan

This me realise how much damage losing your family can really do, years after the burners killed his family, his hate still grows. He can't see the positive things due to his past.

Chapter 63- Zelie

Chapter 63 - Zélie
“You know what intrigues me about your kind? You always start in the middle
of the story. As if my father didn’t fight for your rights. As if you maggots didn’t
burn my family alive.”
“You can’t enslave an entire people for the rebellion of a few.”
Saran bares his teeth. “You can do whatever you want when you’re the king.”

When Zeli was young the king acted in rage and vengeance getting lost in the power that came with being king. He acted when his head was not in the right place and now is facing the rage of the maji who want to bring back magic to orisha.  

Tech

Technology is the creative process that utilises tools, resources and systems to solve problems. It also enhances control over natural and man-made environments to improve our lives

Chapter 59 – Zélie

Chapter 59 – Zélie
“How will me coming back to Lagos solve any of that?” I ask. “As we speak,
your father calls for my head!”
“My father’s scared.” Inan shakes his head. “He’s misguided, but his fear is

justified. All the monarchy’s ever seen is the destruction maji can bring.
They’ve never experienced anything like this.” He gestures to the camp, faces
alight with so much hope his smile practically glows in the darkness. “Zulaikha
created this in one moon, and there are already more diviners in Lagos than
anywhere else in Orïsha. Just imagine what we could accomplish with the
resources of the monarchy behind us.”

I think that Inan has the wrong ideas for the right reasons and his judgment can some times be cloudy by his hopes for the Orïsha, we can see what he hopes magic could be used for.

Electric Motors

Aim: To build a simple electric motor

 Due to the lack of equipment, I was not able to do this experiment.  But what was supposed to happen, was that it was meant to start spinning makeing an electric motor  

Chapter 52- Amari

 A message I take from this scene is that sometimes even family can be the bad guy, but I think he deserves a second chance and to be trusted because he now has something to gain from bringing back the magic ex: a better orisha 

Dte: Conditionals

• What is Java

Java is a general-purpose programming language that is class-based, object-oriented, and designed to have as few implementation dependencies as possible. 

• Where did you struggle most in this activity?

Using text to write the code because it is a lot different from blocks.

• What was the easiest part for you?

The easiest part was using the blocks the help me write the code in text by transfer what I had already learnt.

• What is conditional?

Conditional is a subject to one or more conditions or requirements being met.

• What was conditional in the game?

The conditional in the game was when you toss the ball and it makes an animal sound.

• Why does the while loop never stop?

We want it not to stop so the game will continue, so we program the code to do so. 

• If you wanted it to stop, how might you write this differently?

If we want to stop the game using the code we could take away the led and the delay and tell the game to stop.

Chapter 49

Strike, Amari.
 Fathers voice rings in my head, but its not his strength I need.
Be brave Amari, Binta soothes instead.
Be the Lion.


This shows me that even in the darkest times we can still find a light to guide us, to us the way. That Evan with darkness bang on your door we can still find the strength to pull towards the light.

Term 2 Assessment Reflection

Term 2 Assessment Reflection

During the time of Apartheid, the black population of South Africa were served a lot of injustices. In the film THE POWER OF ONE, directed by John G.Avildsen we can see what it would have been like to live there during that time. In a Scene were two of the characters Pk and Gideon are going for a run through the slums we can see the unfair treatment towards black people of South Africa. Some of the techniques used in this scene are diegetic sound, camera angles, dialogue and shots. These film techniques helped us understand the importance of every scene. This move has a strong impact on the audience.

First, In this scene diegetic sound in favoured over the non-diegetic sound.  We can hear the footsteps of the runners, the sound of pickaxes hitting the ground, we can also hear the people voices under Pk and Gideon voices. With faded non-diegetic music playing in the background. I think the director, Avildsen favoured diegetic more because he wanted us to focus on the conversation the two fighters where having instead of the sounds around them. This conversation explained how missed treated the black people of South Africa were. This helps us understand what the black people of South Africa went through during Apartheid. We formed our own opinions about the man in charge. We can link this scene the ending scene where we watch as Pk and Gideon walk towards the sunset, we can see what type of men they really are. 

Secondly, Avildsen uses a few Camera shots/angles. For example, at the start of the scene, we can see a two-shot. A mid-shot follows them throughout the scene, we also see a deep focus shot as they run back into the scene we see this multiple times. I think the purpose of these shots were to show a wider angle of the slums, so we could see how the black Africans were living. Once again this helps us understand what was happening during the Apartheid and how hard it was on the blacks. The importance of this scene is that unfair treatment just like this is happening to millions of people of all age and race around the world.

In conclusion, The Power of One directed by John G. Avildsen was a great movie with a powerful message. The use and choice of visual and verbal techniques in ever scene made the movie breathtaking. My favourite part was at the end of the movie when Gideon and Pk walked off into the sunset.

Reflection

I am proud that I finished the assessment on time to the level I was aiming for. I fell like I can now link and describe my examples using details and I even put in work at home.
This time I wrote the bare minimum, next time I could improve on writing more.
One thing I enjoyed about the film is that it shared the message of hope and show us how one person can have such a big impact on something.
One thing I found challenging about learning film was that a white man was chosen to save the black race from the other white people

One thing I learned that I will use the next time I write an essay is to use a template to help me write.

I found the template useful and they really helped me.
