Task 3 practise art

The role of art in developing empathy for people and groups who live lives that are different to your own. I think that violence in films plays a role in developing empathy for people and groups. I am for this statement and will prove this by giving the following arguments. the first reason why I think it develops empathy is that people who watch those violent films will know what is right and wrong. Based off these scenes they now what the appropriate approach is to certain things. For insta...

Image in dessert

it was a very arid place they have dropped me in to observe. I don't understand why this is better than for instance a city. There is barely anything which makes this place interesting. However the longer I stare at it the more I start to notice some things. Even though it is pretty lifeless it's still beautiful. This is because of the blue sky which is a contrast to the dry lifeless ground. Whilst I am standing there I can feel the sand rubbing against my skin as the wind blows it all over the ...

how does Fitzgerald use details of setting and imagery to establish a mood in the opeing pages of chaper 2?

Fitzgerald uses details of setting and imagery to establish a mood by using certain words to set a mood. For instance the words: grey, ashes, and grotesque. These words set a gloomy and eerie mood which makes the reader pay closer attention as it can lead to a bad event. So the diction plays an important role in the opening pages as it really contributes to the mood of the opening. The diction really is the main factor in making up the gloomy mood as there are not many other things establishing ...

Producing Literary text - Discriptive Writing (formative)

I will be covering the five senses trough-out the text and cover how they are communicated to the reader. The first one I will be starting off with is sight. The first thing you can see is the big stairs that go up at a very steep way. It looks like a staircase from an ancient time. This you can see because of the pillars that are in a bad state which means they have been there for a long time. It also looks like a sort of museum or monument that people can visit. What I think the message of thi...

Dropping a reader into a story

The drop in method that I chose was the first one which is starting at a dramatic moment. I chose this because there is immediately action and often the reader questions how the person in the story ended up in that situation. This hopefully makes them curious and wanting to read more and find out if their theory was correct on how they ended up there. I was in shock, there was blood everywhere and it felt like my legs were buried in cement. I tried to run however my body would not let me. The s...

Creative writing based on childhood memory

The Trusted Ones I finally managed to properly do it for the first time, I am riding the bicycle without the help wheels and it is going pretty good. I trust my dad to make sure I don’t fall on the grass since there is a chance I could hurt myself. That is the nice thing about trust, you can rely on the people you trust as they help you out of risky situations. After riding around the garden more I can see an odd smile appear on his face, maybe he is just proud I have finally achieved what I h...

First thoughts on global context 2022

What is the nature and purpose of creative expression? I think that creative expression is important for everyone because it shows who you are. It can be trough the clothes you wear, to the drawings you make in your free time. You can often also tell someone's emotions or personality based off these things. For me when I was young I used to play a lot with lego's in my free time. Sometimes I would follow a guide on how to build something, however often I would just create things based off my im...

Analysis on emotions

Analysis of words describing emotions in chapter 1 I will be writing about the book Touching the Void written by Joe Simpson. The text piece that I will be analysing is on page 21 of the book.

Topic of intrest

My family and I have been watching the news a lot lately regarding the Taliban and how they are trying to take over Afghanistan. We are following this because it is important to know what is happening around you and how it impacts you as an individual. I think what they are doing is cruel and I don't think anyone who lives there should go trough what they are going trough at the moment. This is especially a big problem with the women who live there, they almost have no rights and human rights w...
