SENSORY LANGUAGE

Hello bloggers today im doing Sensory language as one of my tasks for my creative writing, If you are wondering what sensory language means well it means that its a way to help the reader to feel what the writer feels like the five sense's Sight, touch, taste, hearing and smell.

But theirs a twist I have to NOT use the words of the 5 sense's so here's my example.

I found a sword in the ground and it was big as a car and it took many days to take the sword out and swung it to a pig. But then cut it in half and the pig was delicious and the scent was good because I cooked it right but then my friend threw the pig into the ravine and it made a big boom then it was night so then I went into my comfy sleeping bag and slept.

Why was Germany hit the hardest during the depression?

The consequences of World War I and the withdrawal of the US Under Secretary were the collapses of the country's economy and increased unemployment. When Hitler became prime minister in January 1933, one-third of the Germans were unemployed, with about 6.1 million unemployed. However, US national income has been cut in half. In response to the industrial crisis, factories closed doors and exports declined. The Great Depression during the same period reduced industrial production by almost half. If Germany didn’t declare war it wouldn’t be in the first place

What did Germany have to agree to by signing the Treaty of Versailles?

Article 231 of the treaty forced Germany to accept full responsibility for starting World War I and pay enormous reparations for Allied war losses. Plus they had to give up territory to Belgium, Czechoslovakia, and Poland, return Alsace and Lorraine to France after they fought during the Franco-Prussian War in 1871. The German government agreed to sign the Treaty of Versailles in June 1919 to realize peace. The enemies of the government used the treaty to claim that they "stuck Germany in the back" by ending the war.

How was NZ affected by the depression?

The impact of the collision cannot be seen immediately in New Zealand. However, export prices began to plummet in 1930 and fell by 45% in 1933. This is cruel to a country that is extremely dependent on agricultural exports. By the late 1930s, urban enterprises and manufacturers had already felt the benefits. As with most parts of the world except Russia, as far as New Zealand is concerned, the Great Depression of the early 1930s was the most shocking economic experience ever. Depression is correctly described as a traumatic experience. At least since the establishment of the colony, New Zealanders have been disappointed by the emergence of a country from which they thought they had fled for the second time.

Maps of countries Involved in WW2 and german death camps

 Hello, bloggers today I'm showing my work during Social studies, I did a map about the locations of countries that were involved in WW2 and some of the German death camps.

I have been learning about WW2 lately and I was very surprised the german death camps were located in Poland but not In Nazi Germany.

 

How does evidence in this document show that “Kristallnacht” was planned in advance of the event actually happening?

TO ALL REGIONAL AND SUB-REGIONAL GESTAPO OFFICES
sent at 1:20AM, November 8, 1938

SUBJECT: MEASURES AGAINST THE JEWS THIS NIGHT
That only such measures were to be taken that would not endanger German lives or property (e.g. the burning of synagogues was only to be carried out if there was no danger of fire spreading to the surrounding district).  Businesses and residences of Jews may be damaged but not looted. Particular care is to be paid in business sections and surrounding streets. Non-Jewish businesses are to be protected from damage under all circumstances. Police are to seize all archives from synagogues and offices of community organizations, this refers to material of historical significance. Archives are to be handed over to the SS. As soon as possible, officials are to arrest as many Jews especially wealthy ones - in all districts as can be accommodated in existing cells. For the time being, only healthy male Jews of not too advanced age are to be arrested.

THE NUREMBERG LAWS

 Hello readers today I will be talking about The Nuremberg laws

The reason the Nuremberg Laws came into place is that the Nazis thought the Jews belonged to another race, inferior to all other races. The Nazis believed that the presence of German Jews threatened the German people. They believed that Jews from other Germans had to be separated in order to protect and strengthen Germany. The Nuremberg Law was an important step in achieving this goal.

1. Provide two examples of ways in which the Nuremberg laws affected the rights of German Jews. 

the law said the Jews can’t Marry or have sexual relations with Germans or German-related blood and they passed a decree that no Jewish soldiers could be named on the ww1 memorials.

2. What other actions were taken that discriminated against Jews in Germany? (Remembering)

Jewish physicians are excluded from the list of doctors approved to receive patients under welfare and health insurance plans.

3. Why do you think that the Nazis passed these laws? (Understanding)

The Nazis enacted the Nuremberg Laws because they wanted to put their ideas about race into law. They believed in the false theory that the world is divided into distinct races that are not equally strong and valuable.

4. If a New Zealand government passed a law that provided for different treatment of a named racial group in New Zealand, what do you think the reaction of most New Zealand people would be? Why do you think this might be the case? (Applying)

Fright. Because New Zealand is a Diverse country.

5. Do you think these Nuremberg laws were racist? Explain your point of view. (Evaluating)

Yes because they were pointed to a certain group of people.

What did hitler say about the jews?

  “the sacred mission of the German people…to assemble and preserve the most valuable racial elements…and raise them to the dominant position.” “All who are not of a good race are chaff,” 

“occupy themselves not merely with the breeding of dogs, horses, and cats but also with care for the purity of their own blood.” Hitler ascribed international significance to the elimination of Jews, which “must necessarily be a bloody process,”

Shark finning

People around the world fin sharks for trophies or food, like in China wherein a restaurant sells shark fin soup and According to some estimates, 100 million sharks may be killed annually, mostly to feed China's demand for shark fin soup and economy. Shark Fins bring in hundreds of dollars on the market, with the average being about $450 per pound. A bowl of soup can cost $100.The Shark fin soup has been considered a symbol of wealth and a delicacy in China ever since the times of the Ming Dynasty. It was a dish that only the Emperor and his guests would be served.

NEWS ARTICLE

 I didn't do the News article

Sustainable fishing (Social Studies)

In the near future, I don't think sustainable fishing would be possible because at the rate humans are fishing the fish population will be extinct and sea piracy claims that the fishing Industry catch up to 2.7 trillion fish per year, or 5,000,000 every single minute and cause of that claim by sea piracy humans should be careful about overcatching fish or else the fish population would be wiped out.

To stop this catastrophe from approaching in the future, governments around the world should stop and be like the nations that are finally scrambling to finalize by this year’s end an international agreement to ban government subsidies that fuel overfishing and In an exhaustive survey of 152 countries, scientists at the University of British Columbia found that ocean-faring nations have spent around $22 billion on harmful subsidies in 2018.

Slave trade blog

 Hello bloggers today I'm doing a blog about the slave trade triangle which took place during the 1800's 

The Atlantic slave trade or Euro-American slave trade involved the transportation by slave traders of various enslaved African people, mainly to the Americas. The slave trade regularly used the triangular trade route and its Middle Passage, and existed from the 16th to the 19th centuries.The major Atlantic slave-trading nations, ordered by trade volume the British, the Spanish, the French the Dutch several had established outposts on the African coast where they purchased slaves from local African leaders.

Here is my work about the trade: https://www.google.co.nz/maps/d/edit?mid=13LhCISqkZq-LC3r8WvEeVpw_FKTxIQqu&ll=15.692588612346043%2C0&z=2

Making salts II

 The aim for the experiment is to produce copper sulfate salt by reacting copper oxide with acid

The equipment I needed for the experiment was Copper oxide powder, 0.5 mole of dilute, sulfuric acid, 50 mL of measuring cylinder, two 200 mL beakers, Bunsen burner, tripod, gauze mat, funnel, filter paper, thermometer, spatula and a stirring rod

Method 

1. Add 20 mL of sulfuric acid to a 100 mL beaker. Heat the acid until it reaches 70'C and then turn off the beaker 

2. Once heated, use a spatula to add pea-sized portions of copper oxide to the beaker. Stir the mixture for 30 seconds

3. Repeat step 2 until no more will dissolve. Allow the beaker to cool

4. Fold the filter paper and place it in the funnel. Place the filter funnel into the second beaker.

5. Make sure the beaker is cool enough to hold at the top. The contents should still be hot. You may need your teacher to complete this step.

6. Gently swirl the contents of the beaker to mix, then pour into the filter paper in the funnel. Allow to filter though

7.Rinse the beaker you used to heat the mixture previously, and place it back on top of your tripod filled with 50-60 mL of water.

8. Place the evaporating basin on top of the beaker and carefully pour some of the solution from the beaker into the evaporating basin

9.Gently heat the beaker until the solution starts evaporating basin has reduced by half

10. Leave the evaporating basin to cool. Once cool, move the evaporating basin to a warm place where it will not be disrupted (i.e a window-sill) and observe over the next dew days.Blue copper sulfate crystals should form

Observations: I think what would happen during the experiment is that I will mess up.

Creative writing: Haiku

 Hello bloggers this blog will have short poems because of the thing im about to do its called a Haiku. A Haiku is a type of poetry where there are 17 syllables 5 in the first line 7 in the second line and 5 in the last line. So my examples are about the seasons of the world.

Summer

The water was hot

So I built a sandcastle

then it got knocked

Autumn 

The leaves were crunchy

Because the trees dropped the leaves

And I had a Pie

Winter

The snow was real cold

Because of the cold weather

So I went inside

Spring

The grass was so green

Because winter has gone away

And I was tired

Naruto quotes

Wake up to reality, Nothing ever goes as planned in this accursed world, the longer you live the more you realise, That the only things that exist in this reality are merely Pain, suffering and futility... listen everywhere you look in this world wherever there is ,light there will always be shadows to be found as well. As long as there are a concept of victors the Vanquish will also exist .The selfish intent of wanting to preserve peace, will initiates wars and hatred is born in order to protect love. There are nexuses, casuals relationships that cannot be separated.

Introduction to Creative writing

hello people reading my blog today I was learning about Language Features and this is my introduction to Creative writing

Personification

Personification is where someone is giving an object or animal human characteristics to create interesting imagery

For example: My alarm clock yells at me to wake up

Onomatopoeia

Onomatopoeia is the process of creating a word that phonetically imitates, resembles, or suggests the sound that it describes. Such a word itself is also called an onomatopoeia. 

For example: "oink", "meow", "roar" and "chirp"

Alliteration

Alliteration I where the occurrence of the same letter or sound at the beginning of adjacent or closely connected words. Another way to put this it’s like a tongue twister.

For example: She sells Seashells by the sea shore.
