Discount

 

Discounts make things cheaper. They are a win win for the buyers and the providers because the providers make more sales and the buyers get a better deal. for example if these shoes were $100 but there was a 25 percent sale off that pair of shoes the shoes will be $75

Unwind novel study questions

1. How much brainwashing do you think has happened for teenagers to make this sort claim as they're being led to their "death"? If you've seen it and it happens around you. Also being unwound is normalised in society in the novel because they brainwash the kids aged 13-18 that being unwound isn't dying it's just living in a divided state.

2. Why do you think shutersman has chosen three characters to tell their story? So it can show different perspectives from all of the kids and cops etc. For example Connor didn't want to be unwound because he knows hes basically dying but Lev did because in his culture they call and look at it differently. They call it a tithe and believe that nothings wrong with it. Lev also was thinking on the way of getting unwound (or his tithing) that he was the chosen one and his time has come, like he was hyping himself up before a sports match or a running race.

3. Lev is a tithe. This means that he is 10% offering to their church, what are your thoughts on this? I just think it's just another way of making unwindings okay or normalised.

4. Rita is a state home kid - she was unwanted at birth, and how have the state decided she is no longer useful, do you think that the state should be able to tell if ones life is useful or not at birth?  The state can't full on predict but they can have an educated guess or assumtion because the state of their upbringing and living conditions as they grow up.

5. Connors parents have chosen to unwind him due to his difficult behaviour. They have then booked a ticket to the Bahamas. In your opinion, how do parents view their children? Why do you think this? They view their children from day one and figure out how they behave, well that was the case with Connor. They judge their kids from the day they we're born to fugure if they should unwind their kid or not. They could keep the kid because he/she is smart and well behaved or could unwind the kid because he gets into fights and has bad grades or simply just badly behaved.

6. Pastor dan presents as being conflicted. What journeys might he have to encourage Lev during his journey as a tithe? Why does he encourage him to run? He encouraged him because he knew being a tithe was a hard thing to do or commit to, even though he had no choice. He told him to run because he had te opportunity and it would of been the better option to get out of being s tithe and run away.

Music and civil rights

How did music affect the civil rights movement?

In the 1950s and 1960s African Americans wanted and were fighting to have the same rights as white people.  They wanted to be able to eat in the same places, use the same buses, use the same restrooms, use the same water fountains, and wanted to opportunity to vote without have taxes and reading tests.

Why was music such a powerful force? Because it got their point across in a fancy and emotional way and people can connect to music easier than speeches and some of the verses are repetetive to drill their point in.

What is hamilton about? It is a musical theatre production specifically one that tells the story of the forgotten american founding father alexander hamilton and his upbringing out of poverty and to power against thr backdrop of the american war of independance.

What is the style of the show? it is old fashoined and also a musical.

Name a character that you liked and why? I liked Aaron Burr because i liked his voice when he sang (no homo)

What did you think? my personal preferance is that it was ok.

Lawyers Paragraph on Technology

Technology has improved overtime and has become way quicker and easier to use. This is important that it has changed a lot because I don't think that the world would be the same without our quick and easy to use technology nowadays. Cars have changed a lot since back in the day. Before cars could only go 45mph and hold 4 people max. Now there are busses and 7 seater cars and the average cars max speed is between 140 to 160mph but the fastest car can go up to 314 mph which is the Buggati Chiron. Another example is there used to be no internet at all there we're just books not long ago. Now there is internet or data nearly everywhere you go that has reception. One more example is that there only used to be cell phones and brick phones but the technology of phones has changed a lot now you can play games, watch videos, listen to music, have up to 516gb of data all on your 200 gram phone that is slim and can fit in your pocket. These three examples show how much technology has changed from 50 years ago, this has changed our life and gave us more leisure time to do what we love (which is play on our new-day technology).

Maori Settlers Food

The maori settlers came in around about 1300 AD. When they came into new zealand they made iconic food from heaps of plants and different meats for example, a meat they ate was mutton bird which is still eaten in this generation by some of the people living in New Zealand. Another example is the famous flower or sprout, Koru they used to eat this without cooking it but its carcinogenic which means it can cause cancer if you don't cook it properly. The early settlers usually ate a diet of 1 meat and 3 veg a lot of the time. heres a wide range of some foods eaten by the maori in the early day which are still eaten to this day, Fried bread, mussels, mostly all shellfish, kina, koru, salmon, mutton, potaetoes, maize, carrots, cabbage, kumara and heaps more. Maori had to gather this food aswell obviously but they had cool and interesting ways to do gather and store food. To keep the food preserved they preserved large quantities of food by drying it, fermenting it or sealing it in fat. The food was stored in storehouses or underground pits. Some British settlers moved out to New Zealand soon after they heard that there had been a new country discovered, then came along the food brought by the British, heres some food they introduced to NZ, flour, rice, salted meat, dried peas, sugar, alcohol, vinegar, seeds and vine cuttings. However the British settlers came into new zealand between 1840's and thje 1914's they came mostly by boat sometimes boats didn't make it in time to keep all of the food that they had fresh or not old and moldy.
