atmosphere foreboding hesitant nervous reluctant


In the scene 'they don't own me' dialogue is used to create a foreboding atmosphere. Katniss and Peeta are having a conversation and how the upcoming games might affect them. This is demonstrated by the quote "I don't want them to change me", and "If I'm gonna die, I still wanna be me" spoken by Peeta. These show that Peeta has a sense that he is going to have to do things that he doesn't want to have to do like kill others. This male audience feels sorry for Peeta because he is likely going to die, or to kill others to stay alive. The director did this to make us believe Peeta will die early and that being a tribute isn't something to celebrate, but a loss of personal autonomy. This worked well with the dark colors of black and greys which add to the foreboding atmosphere. This aspect can be contrasted to when Peeta joins the career packs once in the games because they are cold-hearted killers which is what Peeta didn't want to be. here Mis sorry for not doing work :)

Creative Writing Piece

A clear blue sky darkens with the sunset. The dark black boulder of the cliff head dominates the landscape. In the distances the sunsets behind the hills. My rope dangles into the horizon. I am hanging for dear life by my fingertips and a long skinny rope. It will be dark soon and I'm not sure I'm going to survive the night. 

I came to the thought of rock climbing in the desert only a week ago.  I thought it would be fun and dangerous, if there is anything that gets the blood pumping it's the feeling of doing something dangerous. My mates offered to come but, knowing that I could easily do this myself, I decided to turn them down. Now I'm stranded, hanging off the side of a cliff and fearing for my life. 

As I see the sun going down, I begin to worry.  The colour in the sky begins to fade out and the darkness of night creeps in.  I can no longer see in front of me, I can't even see my fingers against the rock. Closing my eyes, as it's not like I can see anything anyway, I feel something wet brush against my arm. I freeze, knowing that I can not let go of the rock or flinch. Thoughts race through my head and I begin to think that what is touching me is a snake. I hate snakes. I start to breathe very heavily, it makes me feel lightheaded and dizzy. I can't see so it makes the feeling all the worse. Forcing myself to go down the cliff, slowly but surely I feel around for the hold and hope that it doesn't collapse. I begin to realize that what brushed against my arm earlier was probably a branch covered in the evening dew. Thank god it wasn't a snake. 

Minutes feel like they have turned into hours, I have lost all perception of time. Last I checked, when the sun was still out it, it was around 730 but I can't be sure because I don't have my watch. Bad time to forget it I guess. It's getting harder to climb as my muscles began to ache and quake and sweat drips down my brow, I don't know if I can carry on much longer. As I open my eyes to glare down the cliff I realise I still can't see the ground below. Fear twists and turns my stomach and I begin to panic, I am starting to question my decisions. Why did I decide to do this? Why didn't I bring my mates? I am feeling like a total idiot. There were only a couple hundred metres to go when I could last see but now it feels like I have been doing the same thing over and over and making no progress. I feel like I will be doing this forever and there is no chance for escape. 

My arms and legs are on fire but without the sun, my chest and back are freezing. My fingertips and toes have gone numb which is making climbing sketchy, it's hard to climb when you can't touch. I have to press hard until I am sure I have a grip before moving again. Misery creeps in, it feels like I am never going to succeed at anything no matter how hard I try. Why should I bother? My arms start to shake and my fingers seem to slip on every hold. My legs are shaking so much that they can't keep a grip. If I am going to fall any way I might as well do it on my volution. At least that way I will see it coming and I'll have some control. I wonder if anyone will ever remember me, did I ever do anything important enough to be remembered? Did anyone even like me? All valuable questions but they just add to the feelings of depression. Speaking aloud to no one I say my goodbyes to everyone as I prepare for what I know is coming next. I slowly let go of every hold, finger by finger, foot by foot until I feel myself falling. 

My back hits the ground with a nasty thud but I'm not dead? I'm still breathing, I can still move... I think I'm still alive. It would seem that I was only about three feet from the ground, if I'd just kept going none of this would've happened. I can't help feeling stupid and embarrassed because I yelled my goodbyes and cried my eyes out for nothing. At least no one heard right? 

"Is that you Johnny?"

A voice calls as I see a glaring light in the distance. It burns my eyes as I realise my mates must have gotten worried and come to find me. 

"You okay man? I thought I heard crying and you saying your goodbyes? It's not like you Johnny..." 

As they pull me up they give me a jacket to hide from the freezing cold and we start heading back towards the cars. Relieved and embarrassed I decide never to go climbing alone or unprepared again. I got lucky this time.

Budgeting Crossword - BST

 Budgeting Crossword Puzzle


In business, I have been assigned to make a budgeting crossword. I have included the meanings to some budgeting keywords and you guys can try and figure out what these budgeting keywords are. 
After researching various amounts of these words/meanings relating to the word 'Budgeting' I had some fun learning these, mostly because I don't know some of them, also mainly these words are needed when your older to help with bills, money etc, but I guess its a good idea to learn about them now so we don't have to worry and stress when we get older.





Answers if you get stuck because I suck at writing definitions

Budget: An amount of money you can spend

Income: receiving money for doing a job/work

Savings: An Income not spent and instead of putting aside

Surplus: When you have more money than you need, example cash is money left over after you have paid all of your bills

sustainability


Hi in sustainability we have been Learning about the coronavirus and this fish game. In week two we looked at charts and made up a story about the charts and we played a card game. In week 3 we look at natural resources so that was fun in week 4 we work on the same sustainability issues and watch a video on it in week 5  we basically did the same thing but it was a bit difing. In week 6 to 8 we population calculated so it was on mathletics in week eight we made a house in tinkercad. In week 9 to 13 we have been doing rip rubric so far I have been making a game. We have mang to get the board but not the cards. In week 4 I had a different idea about sustainability. My idea was that we should Exploit the planet and the natural resources so that we can get to Another planet so that we can start again. So this is what I've been doing for sustainability.

innovation challenge

Soap & Body Wash Investigation: Non-Toxic Brands - MAMAVATIONInnovation Challenge
For this week we were assigned to do an innovation challenge and this challenge is to reuse a product and make changes to that product.


2. We use it to wash our hands and bodies, what we hate about it is that it sometimes gets into your eyes and it hurt horribly.

3. I want this product to not be slippery and not hurt when it gets into your eyes.

4. Some positive things about soap are that it cleans. Bathing soap prevents your skin from acne and pimples by cleaning the dirt and oil from the skin. The soap keeps the skin dry by removing the oil.

5. Remove the Alkaline from soap so that it doesn't hurt our eyes and replace it with something else

6. Make it bigger so that it could have a long time using it and clean more.

7. Butters and oils, dry flowers, Oatmeal, dry herbs, seeds, dead sea salt, Honey, milk. Some for fragrance, some are added as active ingredients and some are there to exfoliate or just to add some texture.

8. Soap should get an upgrade to have moisturizer in it so that after a shower we don’t have to put moisturizer on ourselves. The advantages of this are that you don't have to put moisturizer on ourselves after we take a shower. The Disadvantages are that some of the moisturizers was gonna get washed off.
Remove the Alkaline from soap so that it doesn't hurt our eyes and replace it with something else. The Advantages are that the alkaline from the soap doesn't hurt our eyes. Disadvantages we don't know what to replace the alkaline and it could be worse.

home Ec

 For Food Tech: We Created Stir fry and you should already know how its made. if not it is basically cooking chicken, noodles, and vegetables altogether, and for the flavor, you can add honey. The Product that we made I probably rate it a 6 out of 10 because the looks could have looked better and it was kinda dry and also we could have added more vegetables. Ingredients we used were Noodles, Chicken, and a ton of different vegetables. If I remade it I would add more flavor to make it that every bite gets a taste of it also I might add a little more honey.. Here was our finished product.
-Teamwork rating- I rate my team a 6 because we could have made the stir fry faster.
Our stir fry didn't really look intriguing and that's a hint on what we can work on later on.
