Japanese. reflection Section

 This week we've been focusing on learning new words in Japanese. We have learned how to pronounced our body parts and learned how to match the colors and their pronunciation. It is an amazing language to learn. It was fun learning it. I got a lot of help from my teacher and other students. Japanese is not an easy language to learn but when you try your best to learn it'll become easy and understandable to learn. Without help from the teacher, I would have known how to spell in Japanese and learn their language. 

I get to help other students too with their Japanese pronunciation and understanding. It is amazing helping other students. Japanese is an easy language when you learn how it works and how it is

Beatlemania Perpective.

Perspective For: The perspective for the tour in New Zealand was the youth of New Zealand. The values of younger New Zealanders seemed to be changing as one era passed and another emerged. From this time, New Zealand opened up to the world as never before through television and the beginning of mass air travel overseas. Some young people began to look very different. Their love affair with rock 'n' roll started in the 1950s, became even stronger, but the look and the music had changed. Young women hiked up their skirts as high as they could go and traded in the bouffant beehive hair-do for the ‘mod' look, inspired by British fashion queen Mary Quant. Brylcreemed short-back-and-sides hair, shapeless sports coat, and grey strides were the last things the male mod would be seen wearing. This was the first time that pop musicians came to New Zealand, speaking young people's truths and beliefs through their music. The music business was born with many starting to make money when future artists came to New Zealand.

Perspective Against: The parents were against it because they were furious about how they changed their young generation about doing inappropriate things. Since the Beatles became famous, their music was all their young generation was talking about. The parents were religious people who thought that their songs were bad for their beliefs and understanding. They would say that Jesus saves the Beatles, or God loves the Beatles, and they would ask,  Do the Beatles love God?. They think it's sinning or in other words, means going to hell. Costing lots of money for preparing gear and paying for concert tickets.

*What does this line refer to?

'Tis death! 'tis death! (or: I may die) `Tis life! `tis life (or; I may live) `Tis death! `tis death! `Tis life! `tis life! 

-It means sacrificing their lives or they're going to kill the enemy or they are going to die.

*How was the Haka used successfully by the Maori Battalion in World war One and how the Maori battalion was viewed?

-It was performed on the battlefields for two reasons. Firstly, it was done to scare their opponents; the warriors would use aggressive facial expressions such as bulging eyes and poking their tongues.

*What is the Haka symbolic of now and where is it used today?

-The Haka is being performed by the New Zealand rugby team on the field. To start off their game.

Setting It Up

 It was a mysterious and unrelatable island. There were trees talking and animals singing like human beings. The trees don’t have faces and the animals were just furry and cute animals. But no one imagines that they would sing and talk like they're just normal humans. The people were like fairies flying around and speaking their own language like their squeaking like squirrels. They were small and cute little fairies. The mysterious island is like a believing island. If you don't believe in it it won’t show up, but if you believe in it you can see the whole island like a fairytale island.    

Ages ago there was a town that people believe that it is a town of a ghost, a town for people who died and became spirits. There was a couple who went on a trip and they got lost in the middle of the west. So they tried calling for help but the reception was not available. So they began searching for a place where they can get reception to call for help or look for a place nearby to stay just in the meantime. They were searching for a hotel or town to get help from. While they were searching for a place, a mysterious place was available at moment and it was the GHOST TOWN IN THE WILD OLD WEST. They were so happy that they found a place to stay while reaching out for help. They believe it was a good place. Until something creeps them out. When they arrived at the hotel there was no one there in the town, it was just the two of them. the place was dark even though the sun is still shining and still up. They search the entire town and suddenly they heard someone calling out their name and they thought it was each other calling each other name. They ask each other why did they call each other names. But they both said that they didn't call each other out. As soon as they confronted each other they immediately left the place and never went back to the creepy old place.

It's been a hard day's night, and I've been working like a dog
It's been a hard day's night, I should be sleeping like a log
But when I get home to you I'll find the things that you do
Will make me feel alright

You know I work all day to get you money to buy you things
And it's worth it just to hear you say you're going to give me everything
So why on earth should I moan, 'cause when I get you alone
You know I feel ok

When I'm home everything seems to be right
When I'm home feeling you holding me tight, tight, yeah

It's been a hard day's night, and I've been working like a dog
It's been a hard day's night, I should be sleeping like a log
But when I get home to you I'll find the things that you do
Will make me feel alright, oww

So why on earth should I moan, 'cause when I get you alone
You know I feel ok

When I'm home everything seems to be right
When I'm home feeling you holding me tight, tight, yeah

Oh, it's been a hard day's night, and I've been working like a dog
It's been a hard day's night, I should be sleeping like a log
But when I get home to you I'll find the things that you do
It Will make me feel alright
You know I feel alright
You know I feel alright

The night that follows a very hard day. A day in which one has been working like a dog, and so one should be sleeping like a log. Instead, one cannot help but stay awake and spend time with the person who makes them feel alright.

A Hard Day's Night

We happened to work all night

Narrative Writting.

 

-Within seconds it erupted like a volcano, she could feel the heat blowing in her face from far away, a million thoughts running through her mind.

-She couldn't help herself but think about what was happening, it was getting dark, having o choice but to see someone walk away from her, her heart dropped and tears started pouring down her face.

-They were running at the highest speed their legs had ever carried them, as they were running they keep looking back to see danger coming after them, that was the only way to survive.

-The girl was shaking with fear as she opened the bag and stuffed food in it, looking around to make sure no one is looking, and if she can manage to escape.

-His whole world shattered, knowing he would never see that place anymore, with regret on his mind he walked out carrying his belongings.
