Double exposure poem

Paragraph:

The poem written by Amy Lowell is about a woman’s neighbour who loves playing music with his flute. During the day the author describes him eating with one hand and copying music with the other. She doesn’t like looking at him because is he bald and fat but, she loves listening to the sound of his flute during the night. Examples of figurative language in the poem is when she said “the flute-notes push against my ears and lips” and “the round notes flutter and tap about the room.” These examples represent personification because she is describing flute-notes pushing against her ears and tap about the room even though it does not literally. This image represents the poem because while she is in her bed, she admires her neighbours flute even though he is bald and fat. I think the main message of this overall poem was accepting others for who they are since she does not like his appearance but enjoys his sound of his flute.

You’ve got to be kidding me,

The bouncer said,

Folding his arms across his massive chest

He looked at a boy with a red zip-up jacket

And he made him shake his head like a tennis racket

Fifty teenagers in line outside the pandemonium club

Were secretly listening too like sneaky snubs

The all-ages club was a long wait

Very much so on a Sunday

The bouncers would become fierce

And will come down instantly on anyone

When they see people

Who would look like

They were going to start any trouble

A fifteen-year-old Clary Fray,

Was standing in line with her best friend, Simon,

We’re hoping for some excitement

Introduction: The highwayman came riding, up to the old inn-door.

He’d a French cocked-hat on his forehead, a bunch of lace at his chin,

A coat of the claret velvet, and breeches of brown doe-skin.

Inciting incident:

“One kiss, my bonny sweetheart, I’m after a prize to-night,

But I shall be back with the yellow gold before the morning light;

Rising Action:

A red-coat troop came marching—

         Marching—marching—

King George’s men came marching, up to the old inn-door.

Climax:

But they gagged his daughter, and bound her, to the foot of her narrow bed.

 

Falling Action:

Tlot-tlot; tlot-tlot, in the distance? Were they deaf that they did not hear?

The highwayman came riding—

         Riding—riding—

Conclusion:

         Her musket shattered the moonlight,

Shattered her breast in the moonlight and warned him—with her death.

When they shot him down on the highway,

         Down like a dog on the highway,

And he lay in his blood on the highway, with a bunch of lace at his throat.

 

Irony graphic novel assignment

Verbal Irony

Verbal Irony means that when someone says something and means the opposite.  One example of verbal irony is that Bruno calls his father “stupid” even though he did feel ashamed of himself after saying that. (Page 59)

Dramatic Irony
Dramatic Irony is when the audience knows something that the character does not.  One example of dramatic irony is that Bruno keeps calling it out-with, but we know it is called Auschwitz, he doesn’t know that there are prisoners on the other side of the fence, he thinks it is a friendly place, but we know it’s not.  (Page 24-25) In this image Bruno says “Out-With? What’s an Out-With?” which Gretel responds by saying “it’s not a Out-With, Bruno. It’s just Out-With.”

 

Situational Irony

Situational Irony is when some thing is unexpected. One example of situational irony is when Bruno’s grandmother dislikes Bruno’s father’s new uniform. This is unexpecting how the grandmother reacts because she is the only one that is not supporting her son. (Page 90)

Warning: Put volume to half

Indigenous self-reflection 

My experience during this podcast was good. We did an amazing job presenting information on the subject. We all took notes from many sites and contributed to the assignment. We used topic finder to help find information for the podcast. We had difficulties with our audio because some of us were talking too softly therefore we had to retake it a couple of times, but overall, it was good. Our communication skills with each other was great, we organized what our roles are and we helped gather information . 

Stop motion video assignment

The theme of the story is that gangs are uncaring if you are dying, they will not help you in the face of adversity and that nobody genuinely cares about you until you are dead. This represents the theme because throughout the story nobody was willing to help him, and the Royals did not help. 

The assassin kills Andy in the first scene and flips away. The mob boss and the assassin return to laugh and mock him then leave. The girlfriend and the police officer throw his corpse into a dumpster as a “burial”. 

We showed much of the communication core competency because we had many calls over the weekend and after school to make plans and work on the assignment with all the time we had. We also enjoyed showing our video to many people not in our group to gain feedback on our projects.  We planned our project ahead of time which helped us get this project on time. We collaborated and did our roles of the assignment but we could have added more clips to make it look smoother.  My competency is collaboration because I helped all my group members with their roles such as storyboard and lego.
