In this book Bilbo Baggins (the hobbit) and his so called friends went on an adventure to get back Lonely Mountain which was inhabited by the great red dragon Smaug, on their adventure they battle many obstacles such as goblins, wargs, never ending forests infested by giant spiders, the elf war and also the ogre prison.

Reading Project Third Book, Endangered Animals.

This book is really interesting because it talks about the other rarer species which aren’t really brought up at all unlike other animals like common reptiles, mammals and much more. This is because of how rare these creatures are to find out in the wild and if you do you would be lucky to find one of the rare endangered animals. However there are also animals that aren’t that interesting but are endangered as well such as crocodiles, cheetahs and even toads but this is because these animals are used for their fur, skin and much more to make things like luxuries, accessories and also medicine. Some of the rarer animals are snow tigers, California condors, the Iberian lynx, ocelots and even the Komodo dragon are all coming close to extinction for the amount of sightings these days. In my opinion humans as an advanced species we shouldn’t take advantage of animals like this because we will soon never ever be able to find anymore of these animals.

English Homework, Apocalyptic Scenario

The Zombie apocalypse has spread so far so quickly but how, the roads were deserted and the groans from the zombies and screams of people are heard every where. Roaring engines of the military planes that go over can be heard and big chunks of metal, wood and all sorts of materials fell of the buildings, the zombies ripped through fences as if the fences were made of paper. The pipes underneath the ground blew up because they haven’t been changed or fixed for a long time, dead and ripped up bodies are seen everywhere and then the next day the bodies would be crawling and walking away or the zombies would just eat them. Everything is empty every store police station and you would be lucky if you found something out there other than a horde of zombies. Windows were shattered and cars were upside down without doors bullet holes went across the side of cars as if a gun fight happened just a few minutes ago. Giant craters in the ground were seen now and then because the army wouldn’t just bomb one place and to not be bombed the armies jets you would be extremely lucky because tomorrow they are going to send another squad of bombers and all of us here at the camp may get to live another day.

English Homework, Fate And Destiny In Romeo And Juliet

In the Prologue of the play, Romeo and Juliet, the quote ‘From forth the fatal loins of these two foes, A pair of star-cross’d lovers take their life;’ This quote says that Romeo and Juliet were meant for each other however their life together isn’t positive because they both die. The quote also says that they were meant to hate each other because their families hated each other and had fights for centuries.

During Act 1 Scene 4 Romeo says ‘I fear, too early: for my mind misgives’ until the line ‘By some vile forfeit of untimely death.’ This quote is Romeo foreshadowing because at the end of the play Romeo and Juliet have an unexpected death. In this scene Romeo is talking to Benvolio about finding Romeo true love also at the beginning of the scene Mercutio mocks Romeo about his love for Rosaline.

In Act 3 Scene 1 Romeo says ‘This day’s black fate on more days doth depend; This but begins the woe, others must end.’ Romeo says this after Mercutio is killed by Tybalt, Romeo means that the day Mercutio died is the worst day of his life and he hopes that the day doesn’t get any darker (Romeo day doesn’t get any worse). Mercutio meant a lot to Romeo so Romeo got annoyed and chased after Tybalt to kill him for killing a loved one.

In Act 5 Scene 1 Romeo talks to Balthasar and then shouts and blames the stars for the lost of his love Juliet. The quote that shows this is the quote ‘Is it even so? then i defy you, stars!’ This is because Romeo followed the stars as a guide his entire life and he believed the stars would always and only let good things happen to Romeo. Romeo isn’t the only person that follows the stars, other characters like Juliet also follow the stars because the stars are believed to give good luck to those who are guided by them.

In Act 5 Scene 3 Romeo says ‘O, here Will i set up my everlasting rest.’ until the line ‘A dateless bargain to engrossing death!’ Romeo talks about some of the great things Juliet had and did and also the things he is going to miss a lot because Juliet meant a lot to him because they were meant for each other as the play says itself. During this scene Romeo kills Paris because Paris was enraged of Juliet’s death and he blamed Romeo for her death.

From the start of the play to about the end Romeo wasn’t able to choose his destiny because he followed and was guided by the stars. But then after the death of his love Juliet he decided that the stars and being guided by them was a complete lie and instead of always ending in good things he believed the stars hated him and that his destiny was meant to be horrible. It is easily seen in all of the scenes because at the end of the play Romeo acts completely different to how he acts and feels during the rest of the play he followed the stars that were meant to lead and guide him to success, good things, happiness and more.

 

 

English Homework, Juliet’s relationships with her mother and father

Juliet’s relationship with her mother is quite formal because Lady Capulet (Juliet’s mother) is selfish, rude and avoids Juliet whenever she can. “Talk not to me, for I’ll not speak a word, Do as thou wilt, for I have done with thee.” This quote from the play shows how little Lady Capulet cares about Juliet and as the play shows the Nurse is more of a mother to Juliet than Lady Capulet because the Nurse cares about everything Juliet does no matter how important it is to Juliet the Nurse would like to help out as much as she can.

Juliet’s relationship with her father is terrible and aggressive because Lord Capulet is the one person in the Capulet mansion that tells everyone what they must and must not do and in the play Lord Capulet gets really annoyed at Juliet because she wasn’t going to marry Paris so Lord Capulet was shouting at her and calling her rude names. ”Out you green-sickness carrion! Out, you baggage! You tallow-face!” These are some of the rude things Lord Capulet says to Juliet for not wanting to marry Paris. Lord Capulet said these things because he thought Juliet was being ungrateful and rude but Juliet was already married to Romeo and she didn’t want to be married to two people at the same time (this is also called ‘Bigamy’).

Reading Project Second Book, The One That Got Away

My second book is called ‘The One That Got Away’ and the author’s name is Chris Ryan who is a SAS hero. Chris Ryan lost his squadron (‘B’ Squadron), he was the commander of the SAS eight-man sniper team. When he loses his team in a Taliban sneak attack he ran away and lost his team of seven to get away from the Taliban attackers but they were unsuccessful and all of them were captured except for Chris Ryan. Chris Ryan had to go through harsh weather, disasters, sneak past or fight Taliban patrols and more horrible things in Iraq. He is found and picked up by the army a few hours after Chris Ryan managed to get connection with them. However even after the Gulf War ended (Ryan was lost and found during the Gulf War in 1991) the rest of his team haven’t been freed but Ryan knew where they were so the army can launch an attack and save his team but also to free other slaves that the Taliban held hostage and used to make money for weapons, armor and vehicles like armored jeeps. At last he made it to the border of Iraq and there waiting is the British army waiting for his teams arrival but that is not what they got, it was only Chris Ryan, his team were captured and maybe even killed but they battled well and Chris Ryan admired them for that and they became heroes as well as Chris Ryan.

 

How Is Junior Presented As An Outsider?

‘The Absolutely True Diary Of A Part-Time Indian’ is a story about a kid named Junior that goes through some problems. Junior has many problems like losing his loved ones and being treated unfairly in a white school called Reardan. He is a Native American who lives on a reservation with his mum and dad, who are alcoholics, his sister named Mary and his grandma. Junior is rejected by his community in Wellpinit because he has gone to a all white school, this annoyed the other Native Americans because they think that Junior is showing that what they are giving Junior is not enough even though the other Native Americans are poor. This shows that Junior is an outsider because he acts differently when he is in Reardan but he also acts differently in the Rez. Junior feels like two different people in two different places because he wants to blend in but the one thing those two completely different people have in common is that they are both hated by other people. In this essay I will be talking about, How Junior is an Outsider.

The moment when Junior first goes to Reardan with a black eye and lots of bruises that Rowdy gave Junior when he said he was leaving the Reservation to go to a all white school and when he got to Reardan all of the white kids starred at him as if he was strange and mysterious like Bigfoot or a UFO. This shows that Junior is an outsider because he is being starred at like he was a monster and this also shows that Junior looked and was treated completely different to how the white kids were treated because the white kids never walked around the school and other places with bruises and black eyes that someone gave to them. This moment is also about how it made Junior upset that people on the Rez didn’t feel happy for him because managed to get into a better school that the Native Americans believed to give whoever went there a better life. The quote ‘Starred’ suggests that when Junior was starred at by all of the white kids he was abnormal only because the Native Americans on the Rez treated him badly but the white kids were treated well by anybody else that was white, even other white people that another white person might not know.

The moment when Junior is seen as someone that is like the school mascot shows that Junior is an outsider because a mascot is something unreal or imaginary and not important. When Junior was seen as the school mascot this shows that Junior is not important at all because a mascot is only used to represent something and nothing else, mascots are only used to represent things. This also shows that Junior is not cared about and someone that is weird to see in a all white school. This moment is also about how Junior is shown to be weaker than the white kids, this is because the thing that is represented by a logo or mascot or any other thing is more important and has more of a meaning. The quote ‘Mascot’ suggests Junior not to be important and not cared because no one cares about the logo of something, mascot of something and other things but people would really care about what the actual thing that is being represented is.

The moments when Junior comes back from Reardan show that Junior is an outsider because all of the Native Americans reject him in the Reservation because Junior left the Rez and went to Reardan. The reason why the other Native Americans hate and reject Junior is because he went to Reardan, they aren’t just annoyed with Junior because he went to Reardan, it is also because the Native Americans believed Junior left because what they were giving him was not enough to keep him happy even though everyone on the Reservation are poor. This moment is also about Junior betraying all of the other Native Americans by leaving them. The quote ‘Reject’ suggests that the Native Americans hate Junior for leaving the Reservation but instead of not allowing Junior to come into the Rez they just hate him for leaving the Reservation.

The moment when Junior wins his rematch in the basketball tournament and he then says that the Native Americans that lost the match don’t have the things that the white kids in Reardan had so Junior thought about what is going to happen to the Native Americans because they lost this match. This shows Junior is an outsider because the white kids have much more than the Native Americans but Junior is in the middle of what Native Americans have and what white kids have. Junior also says that the Reardan basketball team are Goliath and that the Wellpinit basketball team are David. This moment is also about Junior’s feelings about going up against is community after betraying them. The metaphor ‘David and Goliath’ suggests that Reardan has much more things and are more prepared because Junior calls Reardan’s Basketball team Goliath but the Wellpinit basketball team was described as David by Junior because the Native Americans have nearly nothing and are not as prepared as Reardan’s basketball team.

All of the four moments show that Junior is an outsider because of multiple reasons and evidence to support the reasons why and how Junior is shown as an outsider. The moments explain what makes Junior different to everyone else, the effects of him being the only Indian in Reardan, why his community in Wellpinit reject him and the things that Junior and all of the other Native Americans don’t have compared to all of the things that the white people have. These are explained moments in the story ‘The Absolutely True Diary Of A Part-Time Indian’ that show why and how Junior is shown as an outsider that goes through quite a lot of problems.
