Gladiator Screenplay

After Commodus leaves the arena, feeling humilliated and ashamed of himself, he goes inside and talks to one of his advisers to find a way to solve this problem...

Commodus: I can't believe what they made me do... I would've killed him right there!

Adviser: But Sir... You did what you had to do to avoid everyone hating you or even doing a rebellion for killing their "hero".

Commodus: I know... But it made me look weak, it made them realize they could control me.

Adviser: Don't worry about that, they haven't done anything yet and they won't...

Commodus: I already know that but how can I make them respect me? They should fear me, I can kill them if I want... But today they were controlling me, that's not how Rome works! The Emperor controlling the people is the right thing...

Adviser: You can't kill him, that would just make everyone angry, it can compromise your life, if you want to do something, you must set it up so it looks like something you didn't plan, an "accident", maybe a battle between slaves where you order everyone to kill him, he will die in battle and no one will know you planned it.

Commodus: Actually... It is a good plan, I just need to set things up and I wouldn't have to kill him... No one will think it was me... So there will be no rebellion, great idea... I will start planning everything right now so it is done as soon as possible.

Commodus leaves.

Writing assignment: Essay

Global Warming, biggest threat facing man kind?

In this essay I will discuss the different point of view of global warming.  Did human kind realise to late about what is really going on with our planet?  Is the government responsible about the people being misinformed about this big threat?

Many people from different countries believe that global warming is a real and significant threat to humanity, but other people don't.  I write this essay to try to make people think about the meaning of global warming and how it might or will change the course of humanity.  My personal point of view is that people don't take this problem seriously and it is why our planet is reacting the way it is. 

First of all, one of the most shocking problems of global warming that not only affects in the psychological way, but also in the economical way is the fact that by the climate change, the industries that produce certain vegetables or fruits may be affected by this change.  This is because some vegetables or fruits only grow at a certain temperature, so this will affect significantly in the production and in the feeding of the people. People will be affected by this because some of these products that may no longer exist, are essential for the human function.  To solve this problem, scientists or professionals will need to find a way to modify genetically these products.

Secondly, we must bear in mind that the human race is not prepared for this problem, that's because, in my opinion the government or the world authorities haven't taken this problem seriously and have a big responsibility in why the people don't know what they are facing.  The government should let their countries know what they're dealing with so that they could maybe look for a solution or just be prepared for what is coming. I'm talking about finding a solution, I mean try to prevent this from happening in a few years or simply learn how to live with it.

Besides these problems, according to what I have researched, there are also people that say that there is no way to prevent this from happening. They say that global warming is inevitable and that it is part of evolution. Well, these people are more like philosophers or hippies, who don't care about the environment and will not bother themselves to save this planet.

All things considered, I think that all people who want to maintain this specie may have the same point of view that I have, because were talking about the planet that lets us live and that feeds us. So personally I would like to let people think a little more and help us fight this problem. I would say that a good way of helping, is recycling.

The author in this article lets us know how global warming is taking over the planet. It might sound pretty drastic but it is the way it is. "Phil B" lets us know the dimension of the problem the human specie is facing. In the article we can see different arguments and judgments that answer to the question, Should the people know what is going on with there planet? Yes they should and this is why the author makes it very clear that the world authorities need to let their people know avout this problem. Or else the Earth will colapse without knowing why.

Tomorrows project

When I was leaving from school, my teacher reminded me about the science project we had to hand in tomorrow. Thank god Mr. Donald reminded me about it, or else I would've forgotten. I arrived home at about 6 o'clock afternoon, i didn't have much time to work so I started immediately. I always need some time to rest after working for a while. I turned on my cellphone and in a group I have of my science class everyone was very nervous about finishing this project. So I stopped goofing around and started working: While I was working my mom suddenly screamed, "Remember to finish your homework and give me your cellphone!, your grownded! That is so typicall from my mom. I had only one part of the project remaining to finish. I was about to save the work and my wi-fi turned of out of nowhere. Oh my God!, is said. Everything I did for the past hours went to waste. I was literally crying. I was like is someone just burnt my work, I was so frustrated.
I couldn't start over so I just arrived at school without any project and got a detention and bla bla bla...

In this picture we can se a English soldier about to shoot a person that to me looks innocent.

Here we can see how many people were invloved in this masacre.

Here are the people protesting for there civil rights.

The Victims of Bloody Sunday (Sumarry)

This report shows us all the thirteen people that died during Bloody Sunday, and a fourteenth person that died five months later by severe damages. In the report, there are pieces of text of each one of the victims. On each one, we can see and learn which soldier/s killed the victim. The report shares us the experiences of the relatives and how they reacted to there loss. It also helps us to understand this tragedy and put ourselves in their place. The relatives of the victims write there point of view to the situation and make the British Parachute Regiment think about what they did to all these 13 families.But not every family was affected in the same way, but it still was very hard for each one of them. For example, by reading the report I realised that not only kids died but also parents from families. This is why I point out that these families were affected not only psychologically, but also economically. A clear example is Bernard Mc Guigan. This man was married and had six children, who he had to maintain, but when he died maybe they had trouble to maintain the family. Patrick (Paddy) Doherty was also a man of family, who left his wife and six children on there own. Apart from the economic issue, families also were affected sentimentally. These people lost a part of there lives and besides of maybe having economical problems, they will always drag this loss to there grave.

Braveheart movie review

Braveheart

Mil Gibson, director and actor of this movie, plays the role of "braveheart", who  represents William Wallace. This man was one of the most important heroes in the scotish history. He did not onely fought for scotish but he also won freedom to scotland. During the course of the movie we can see the violence, the bad treetment and many other facts that affected the scotish country. The movie starts with William as a child, who suffers the death of his father and brother, killed in battle against the English garrison. William, after this loss is raised by his uncle until he comes back to scotland and gets married secretely with his childhood love, who is killed by the English opressors. After she is killed, Wallace starts killing these english souldiers while other scotish people started joining him destroying every English base in scotland. At the end, William Wallace is captured, tortured and killed by the english. Wallace left a legacy in the scotish history. Thanks to him scotland is now an independent country, but still part of the United Kingdom just like Wales and the north of Ireland.
On my opinion this movie has a very important meaning as it is based on true events. But the most important fact, according to me, is that people can get informed about the live and legacy of this very important heroe that he was, William Wallace.

The secret millionaire

Nadim sadek

Nadim Sadek is a millionaire half Irish and half egyptian who owns a private island and takes advantages of the things it has to earn money. He participated in a program, "The Secret Millionaire", he went to Cork where he would find people to help them with some money.

Nadim went with a fake name, which was Liam, he gave money to people who deserved it, people who did things for others and didn't really do it for themselves.

In my opinion this program helps everyone even the ones who watch it, because people will get money and they will be able to invest it in their charities, they can make them better. Also it gives the people who donate the money to feel how helping others is, they get satisfied, they feel great and they help. And the ones that watch the tv program can realize about other people that may be having a bad time.

 On my opinion this program is very helpfull because it can help people that really need the money or institutions that could use it for good reasons.

E-petition

Fix the number 2 rugby field
Responsable department: sports department

I have heard from mant of my friends that our school should fix the second field because it has spots withou grass, it is uneven and it is hard to play in.
My friends, including me complain a lot about this field. We think that it isn't very plesent to play soccer or rugby on that field.
This is why I think it would be much better, and students woyld actually enjoy staying for sports.
I hope that the sports department considers this petition because on my opinion, the school spends to much money on buying better computers and ipads. They could use that money to buy better desks and seats or fix our rugby field.

Chapter 4

Questions The Catcher in the Rye Chapter 4

1)    Describe the relationship between Holden and Stradlater.  Are they friends?  Why or why not?  Refer to specific actions the characters take or things they say to one another in the text.

Holden and Stradlater are a strange kind of friends because, they are friends, but they (or at least Holden) knows many bad things about him and criticizes him. For example, Holden says that Stradlater is conceited, because Stradlater thinks that "He is the handsomest guy". Holden also says that he has good things like when he says "You don't have to explain every goddam thing to him"

2)    How does Holden feel about Jane Gallagher?  What actions or remarks demonstrate his attitude toward her?

Holden only says that he was a good friend of her but he may like her because when Stradlater said that she was dating her and that she was very near, Holden got very excited about going to see her again after a good time. Also, he wants to keep a good a image for her. This can be seen when Holden says "Dont tell her (Jane) that I got expelled" to Stradlater

3)    What is the reason Holden gives for not going downstairs and saying hello to Jane?  In your opinion, is this the real reason?  Why or why not?

Holden gave the reason that he was not in the right mood to go and see her after many years, but I think that that's not the real reason. I think that he liked her and he wanted to be more prepared before seeing her.
