Attack on Titan

 Attack on Titan is an anime show that I very much enjoy, the main plot to the show is a world that is surrendered by three enormous walls that protect them from gigantic human eating monsters. The show is amazingly written  because you can never predict what would happen in the show. The main character is a teenager Eren Yeager who is very mature for his age, at the start he is all about saving humanity from the titans until something changed his point of view that made him became an evil guy. 

This is what makes Attack on Titan a great anime because it is so unpredictable so you will never know what will come next. You can never get bored watching the show because there is almost never any filler episodes, there also not scared to get rid of there main character. There are only 75 episodes and they are all 20mins long so you should be able to finish it in a week or less. So far there are 4 seasons and the second part of season 4 is coming out next year 2022.

Science (Volcano) Experiment

Pick a volcano - White Island


Where is it? It is located 48km from the east coast of the North Island of New Zealand, in the Bay of Plenty


What's special about it? It has been built up by continuous volcanic activity over the past 150,000 years.


When did it last erupt? What was the damage? 9 Dec 2019: Eighteen people were killed and a further 26 were seriously injured, many crucially. It also sent a plume of ash and gas more than 3.5km into the air.


What are the local stories/ myths about this volcano? The volcanoes Ngauruhoe, Tongariro, and White Island are present in a Maori legend. A medicine man named Ngatoro was climbing up Tongariro with a woman named Auruhoe. He told his followers not to eat while he was gone in order to give him strength on top of the cold mountain.

Climate Change

 What is the greenhouse effect?

The greenhouse effect is a process that happens when the gases in the earths atmosphere traps the suns heat, this process makes earth much warmer than it would be without an atmosphere. The greenhouse effect is one of the thing that makes earth a comfortable place to live. It's also warming the earths surface and the air above it, that's caused by the gases in the air that trap energy from the sun. These heat-trapping gases are called greenhouse gases, the most common greenhouse gases are water vapor, carbon dioxide, and methane.

What are 3 bad things/consequences?

• Climate change by trapping in the heat.
• Extreme weather.
• Food supply disruptions.

Possible solution?

There a lot of possible solutions to fixing the greenhouse effect, here are a few ways to stop the greenhouse effect. Using renewable things and other climate-friendly energy resources, examples include rooftop solar  panels, solar water heating, and small-scale wind generation.

What is the Paris agreement?

The Paris agreement is the legally binding international treaty on climate change, it was adopted by 196 parties at COP 21 in Paris. On 12 December 2015 and entered into force on 4 November 2016, it's a goal to limit global warming to well below 2 preferably 1.5 degrees Celsius.  

Science (Eclipses)

 Solar Eclipse (Day)

The moon blocks the sun during the day which means the sun will disappear and in the middle of the day it would go pitch black for 15mins. Sadly the the path of the total solar eclipse doesn't cross our small country very often, the last one was 1965 and the next one will be in 2028 in which it will cross over the lower south island.

Lunar Eclipse (Night)

A lunar eclipse appears when the earths shadow block the sun and it's light reflects off the moon, a lunar eclipse can only occur if the moon is opposite of the sun in the sky, a monthly occurrence we know as the full moon. The lunar eclipse will be in November 19, and the next one is not comfrimed. 

Science (Plant Cell & Animal Cell)

Large Vacuole - A large vacuole is found inside of a plants cell, vacuole are within the cytoplasm of a cell that function's in several different ways. In mature plants cells vacuole tend to be very large and are extremely important.  

Cell Wall - A cell wall is structure surrendering some types of cell, just outside the cell membrane it can be tough, flexible, and sometimes rigid. It provides the cell with both structural support and protection.

Cell Membrane - Cell membrane act as barriers and gatekeepers, the cell membrane also works as an selective filter because it chooses what to let in and what to let out.

Chloroplast - Chloroplast are plant cells that change light energy into a relatively stable chemical energy via the photosynthetic process.

Cytoplasm - A cytoplasm is a thick solution that fills each cell and is enclosed by the cell membrane, it mainly contains composed waters, salts, and proteins.

Nucleus - A nucleus is a cell membrane-bound organelle that contains the cells chromosomes, it also controls the activities of the cell.       

Poetry

We have been learning how to make different types of poetry they were free verse poem, a haiku poem and Limerick we had to choose two types of the poem to do and chose a picture to go with it. The two I did are haiku and free verse here is my poem and picture that I chose.

There once was a butterfly

On a rose

It flew so high

As long as it can

Then comes a prayingmentis

Here to seek his pray

Before he knew his time was due.

Story and film Elements

 So in English today we have to make a about presentation symbolism, motifs, sub-text and pathetic fallacy in films. 

Symbolism:

In many films they use symbolism these things can include an object, color, character, plot, sound, special effects, and etc. Films themselves are a metaphors and symbols for your films, symbolism is a big part for being a visual storyteller. Symbolic images in films help us to understand concepts that cannot always be translated to word, an example of symbolism.

• Black is used to symbolize death or evil.
• White stands for life and purity.
• Red can symbolize blood, passion, danger, or immoral character.

Symbolism can create an indelible impression on and audience, symbolism runs through literature, poetry, and screenwriting.

Motifs:

In films they use a repeated narrative element that supports the theme of the film, a motifs can be presentation
