A capsule of time

In this short story, the writer has gone into real detail to get all the facts and this use of knowledge made the story more enjoyable because I was able to relate to it. The scene is at Wellington College where I go to school. My most enjoyable bits was when he left it on a cliff hanger of the chapters creating me wanting to read on like in the second last chapter a mother who was not there, says ‘You took your time’, which I though was really powerful and kept reading on. The story is nicely put together and constructed well. And the ending, which he does throughout the story, a clam ending which again leaves the story on a edge

My English Teacher

 

On the first day of college, Mr Hendrick addressed the students:

“The female dormitory is out-of-bounds for all male students, and the male dormitory to the female students. Anybody caught breaking this rule will be fined $20 the first time. The second time you will be fined $60. A third time will cost you a fine of $180. Are there any questions?”

Jack Sellors inquired, “How much for a season pass?”

The most important thing I have learnt in English this year

I have learnt a lot of things in English, but the most important thing I have learnt is to be original in my work and thing for myself.

Should refs get verbal abuse from players and mangers? Prezi notes

Slide 1 (is it right?)

Is it right that in 2013, we still see referees being abused by fans, having to put up with players that just can’t move on, and managers who complain at “wrong” decision. Is it right that in 2013 referees are afraid of managers? Of course not. How many times must we listen to referees getting abuse on tv. How many football matches do you see the referee not get abuse? Not many. Why do managers get to have interviews to express their thoughts and not the referee, is that the society that we live in. Are you afraid of the people you work with?I ask Why?

Slide 2 ( what do coaches think?)

I had an exclusive interview with a man called Vincent Walton, who has coached 6 senior and Junior teams, and I got his thoughts on the situation. He thought that there has been good progression with the Chartered Standard in Junior league, but he thought nothing is ever going to get better if the parents don’t stop shouting abuse on the touch-line, and youngsters watch their role-models misbehaving, so they think why can’t I do it.

Slide 3 (my experiences)

I think parents shouting on the touch-line is just support for their child and its not meant to be mean to the refs. When I play for my club, lots of my teammates complain to the refs, and I hate to do say I give some backchat, out of frustration. If i could see myself I probably would stop, but I don’t like to lose.

Slide 4 (polls)

All the polls show that refs should not be abused, which shows that people do care about the referees, but still quite a few wouldn’t care less. These polls are an indication that we can move forward,but its just who wants to step up.

Should Referees get verbal abuse from players and Managers? Speech

Is it right that in 2013 referees are afraid of managers? Of course not. How many times must we listen to referees getting abuse on tv. How many football matches do you see the referee not get abuse? Not many. Why do managers get to have interviews to express their thoughts and not the referee, is that the society that we live in. Are you afraid of the people you work with? Why? How many times do we hear of referees in the news, in any sport for making a wrong decision? Do they do it on purpose? Of course not. Are managers opinions perfect and referees not? What do you think? What do we have to do? Ban Managers from the touch-line? If that’s what we have to do,  why not?
Do you not think that we should hear the referee’s point of view? Or do you not just care? They are human beings you know. It’s not easy when you have 70,000 people at Old Trafford looking at you to make a decision when you have only seen a glimpse. I would like to see you in that position.

Imagery in Macbeth

Imagery in Macbeth

Firstly, he uses the images of a step which he has fallen down a step when Malcolm becomes the prince and this elucidates the fact that Macbeth quickly sees his ambitions to liquidate the King.

For example “Stars, hide your fires;” this creates a vivid sense of his desires and intentions for himself.He wants the blanket of darkness to hide the fire of malice inside of him

In addition, the phrase which you eyes fear creates a startling portrayal of the King by Macbeth, and accentuate the feeling of pain for Macbeth as he knows what he is doing is wrong.
