The Beatles Tour Viewpoint

 Hi there,

Today i'm telling you about the beatles tour viewpoint in New Zealand. I have some question to answer, two different perspectives people had of the Beatles' tour of New Zealand and why they felt this way. 

Perspective 1 - For Tour

Fans: For people that love and are obsessed with The Beatles, they would always be supportive to them no matter what. Every Beatles concert that happens, the fans would always attend and are eager to go. So whatever they say that is negative and offensive, people would still love them and still want them to tour even though they compared themselves with Jesus Christ.        

Perspective 2 - Against Tour

Religious: Religious people were throwing threats and protests, particularly throughout the Bible Belt in the Southern United States. Some radio stations stopped playing Beatles songs, records were publicly burned and pressed conferences were cancelled. Religious people feel this way because they were offended about the comment The Beatles said about Jesus, and how it affected them because they are Christians.          

I hope you learn something from this, thankyou for reading:)

"She Loves You"

Title:

- "She loves You"

What is the song " She Loves You" about?

- The Beatles tell quite a tale in this tidy pop song. Some poor guy thinks he has lost his girl for good, but he's redeemed when he finds out from a friend that she still loves him.

How different does it sound to music from the 1940s?

It's a different tone to the 1960s. The 1940s song has a different gerne than the 1960s songs but it makes it more enjoyable to listen to. 

'Show don't tell" narrative openings- English

Today we are doing "show don’t tell” to write 3-5 effective narrative openings. I will be reflecting on 3 photos that I'm going to "show not tell you". This has to do what image has given, I hope you enjoy it. Here's what I wrote.

1.  As I was sitting down on the step while it was frosty, a man walked past me and gave me this side view look, that didn't suprise me.

 

2. Is anyone around me? I need to take this luscious meat home tonight for my kids.

  

3. It was just a common day for me as I felt the feeling of boredom once again.

"Show don't telll" - English

What do you think “show don’t tell” means?

Show, don't tell is a technique used in various kinds of texts to allow the reader to experience the story through action, words, thoughts, senses, and feelings rather than through the author's exposition, summarization, and description.

How can we re-write these sentences to “show” and not “tell”?

Here is my explained about re writting " show and not tell" sentences.

The buildings were tall.

- The building was high rise up the sky.

Sarah was really upset.

- Sarah knock down on her knees as she had tears falling down her poor face.

She was so happy to see him.

- She had a huge smile on her face as he walked near her.

The lake was beautiful.

- The lake was so shinny as the sun was above it.

The Last Post

 Hi there,

This week for Social Studies we are learning about ANZAC. I really enjoy working on this. Anzac invaded on 1916. They celebrated this day on the 25th of April. On that day people came together to honour those lost at Gallipoli.

Today I have to answer some questions about a song called the last postS

Song: The Last Post 

When do you hear this song?

You hear this song at 6am every 25th of April. Musicians are being urged to play The Last Post at the end of their driveways across Orange at 6am on Anzac Day.

Why is this song significant/important to New Zealand?

The Last Post is the bugle call that signifies the end of the day's activities. It is also sounded at military funerals to indicate that the soldier has gone to his final rest and at commemorative services such as Anzac Day and Remembrance Day.

What is the History behind the Last post -

It originated with British troops stationed in the Netherlands, where it drew on an older Dutch custom, called taptoe, from which comes the term tattoo as in Military tattoo. 

Why was it played and when?

Since 1928, the Last Post has been played every evening at 8 p.m. by buglers of the local Last Post Association at the war memorial of battle during First World war.

What does this song represent?

The remembrance of the soilders that day in the war.

Here is my map that i had to do about anzac:

10 Music - Genre Challenge

In music we are doing a performing for music and it's for our assesment. Here is some questions I have to answer.

What Gerne are you going to be looking at? Pop

Who is in your group? Just myself, Maia

What is each group member doing? -Me and Maia, are doing piano together.

What is the name of the song? -Say something 

Who is the song written and performed by?- INA AXEL,CHAD VACCARINO and MIKE CAMPBELL

What is the song about?- I guess it's about this girl and they were in a relationship and he just give up on eveything but ig t's telling you not give up and use your voice while you have it. The main reason why they did that song because they want them to know it's okay to be okay. 

What is going to the challenging about this piece? - Me and Maia don't really know how to play piano so it's going to be a bit hard to get the song perfect so we pass our assesment.

Which part of the song are you working on first? We haven't started yet so we are working on the first bit.  

I hope you like it:)

Parihaka

 Hi there,

This week for Social Studies we are learning about Parihaka. I really enjoy working on this parihaka 5 November 1881 Parihaka was invaded on 5 November 1881. The following day of arrests and looting is known as Te Rā o te Pāhua – the day of plunder. Here is some questions i'm going to answer about this song.

What is the main message of this song?

They are not going give up, parihaka belong to them and they have the right to be there.

What line explains their passive resistance method?

I know Te Whiti will never be defeated,

And even at the darkest hour,

His presence will remain.

I'll sing to you the song of Parihaka.

What does ‘you can’t pull out the roots’ refer to?

You can't take my background, who my acestors were, they are who I am at the end of the day.

Give evidence of their determination?

"Never give in, look to the sky, the sprirt Te Whiti". 

Don't make yourself suffer, Get out there and look to the sky where the sprirt Te Whiti is.

How does this song show the significance of Parihaka?

It's telling you about parihaka and people have suffer but never give in and always keep trying.

What makes an event Significant?

If it affects large numbers of people and is remembered for ages and still affects people centuries after.

How many people are affected?

All those that live in New Zealand and a lot of people throughout the world as Parihaka sparked other peaceful protests.

How long were people affected?

People will be affected for centuries.

To what extent are people affected?

Parihaka was home to people. Having that taken from them would really affect them and a few people died there.

Language Features - English

Today this blog post will be about what I have been doing in English. We started our first topic Creative Writing. In Creative Writing we got assigned tasks to complete once a week. I started working on Language Features. In this task we had to choose three terms that we don't already know and research the definition, an example and the effect of each of them. I displayed this in a slideshow and I hope you learn something from this.

Onomatopoeia

Onomatopoeia is the process of creating a word that phonetically imitates, resembles, or suggests the sound that it describes. Such a word itself is also called an onomatopoeia. Common onomatopoeias include animal noises such as "oink", "meow", "roar" and "chirp.

Personification

Personification is a type of metaphor and a common literary tool. It is when you assign the qualities of a person to something that isn't human or that isn't even alive, such as nature or household items. 

AlliterationIn 

Literature, alliteration is the conspicuous repetition of identical initial consonant sounds in successive or closely associated syllables within a group of words, even those spelled differently. As a method of linking words for effect, alliteration is also called head rhyme or initial rhyme. 

Anaphora

The use of a word referring back to a word used earlier in a text or conversation, to avoid repetition, for example the pronouns he, she, it, and they and the verb do in I like it and so do they.

Allusion

Allusion is a figure of speech, in which an object or circumstance from unrelated context is referred to covertly or indirectly. It is left to the audience to make the direct connection. 

Thankyou for reading my lanuguage Features.
