Lucy Lawless fans have a week where they donate to charities  and do charitable acts. Lucy speaks out about child abuse, and is a member of the Star ship Foundation. She has been awarded the Order of Merit for services and to entertainment and to the community. 

I would help families that are in need and need help. I would also love to help the people that are in the Womens shelters. RSPCA I would also give donations to as they need to get food, toys and all things that the animals need to have to feel at home until they find a home for them. 

They can have a big impact on people everywhere. The way that the cat, the issues that they fix, who they help and why they did can touch peoples hearts as it makes them think about real life issues and the things that they can do to help the help their own community. The way that they act can have a huge impact on kids as they are still developing and things can stick in their brain better than it can with adult. 

Lucy Lawless inspire others in huge ways. She shows women that they can do whatever if they put their minds to it. She speaks up about child abuse in New Zealand, which doesn't happen enough.

This week in DTE we have been  using the drawing tools on chrome to make drawings. Duh. last week we made a boat, which was quite fun to make. And then this week we ,made a little TV with a Peter Griffin in the middle of the screen. This was a fun activity to do but very time consuming as we had to make like 100 different INDIVIDUAL LINES. HELP ME. other than all the lines that we had to make i would have really enjoy this topic. and this drawing.

We have been also for the whole term doing the Typing.com website. This is to improve our typing and to try not get us to chicken peck. It is very fun to do and I am nearly finished the Beginner levels.

Months of the lunar calendar

For the last few weeks in Social Studies we have been doing a topic that we got to choose. I chose Months of the Lunar Calendar but there were heaps of other interesting topics. For instance there was Weaving, poi, Maori food, Hangi and others that other people in my class did for this unit.

I really enjoyed learning about the lunar calendar. The whole reason I chose this topic was because I hadn't learned about it and thought I would be able to learn things that I didn't already know. This was interesting for me as I learned what happened in every month of the year. For instance, In late September-early October the people of the land star

Health Resilience

         

I learned that you have to try and cope with things, even when they change. Change is a good thing even when you believe that it is a bad thing. Everything that we have done so far has been very easy for me to understand and I understood the message that the video was trying to convey. I related to the video "Who moved my Cheese". I sometimes find it hard to focus and to do my work but I will still try and accomplish the goals/targets we are set. I can apply what I have learned to my Business and Enterprise Kete by continuing my project even when I find it hard and challenging to do.

The Merchant of Venice: Act Four Scene One and Two

Act Four, Scene One

1. What does the Duke believe Shylock intends to do?
That he intended to cut out the flesh right by Antonio's heart so he dies.

2. What does Shylock intend to do, and what reasons does he give for his decision?
He intends to cut out a pound of flesh from Antonio because he hates Antonio since Antonio hasn't paid him back his money.

3. Why must the law be allowed to stand (why can’t the judge dismiss this case)
Because the president has been set and if they let Antonio go then they will have to let everyone who breaks the law go.

4. Shylock is very clear about the restrictions in the wording of the deed, how does Portia use these loopholes?
Portia says that Shylock can have his pound of flesh but he cannot shed blood as that is not in the bond. Shylock has to take exactly a pound, not any less or any more or else he dies.

5. What penalties does Shylock now have to pay? Are they fair? Why/why not.
That he has to cut out exactly 1 pound of flesh and if it is more or less than that he will have to die.

6. How do Lorenzo and Jessica gain by the result?
Antonio says that Shylock must give his money to Lorenzo when he dies so that he and Jessica can live.

7. What reward has Portia claimed and why is this significant?
Portia has got Bassanio to give her the ring that she had given him. This is of significance because Portia had told Bassanio to never take it off or give it to anyone

8. Portia tells Shylock ‘The quality of mercy is not strained’. How does she try to persuade Shylock to show mercy, how much mercy is she willing to show him (line 345-362)
She won't show him mercy and won't let him take the money as he had the chance to but wouldn't as he was being too greedy.

1. A4S1 L 70-80. Antonio gives us three short images of how useless any attempt by Bassanio to save his life will be

• What are they?

It would only mean that someone else was dying for his mistake. And that Portia would be without a husband.

• What do they tell us about one of Shakespeare's interests

During these lines, the comparisons that Antonio makes are usually towards the outdoors. This shows the Shakespeare liked the outdoors.

• Do you think this is an effective way of demonstrating the problem?

Yes. I think it is. 

• Each example is an extreme and impossible, what influence does this have on how you expect the rest of the scene to develop.

I expect that the scene will turn on Shylock and make him seem like the bad guy. 

2. A4S1 L90-100, Shylock uses vivid comparisons when he wants to make a point.

• What example does he use to illustrate the fact that the pound of flesh is his: ‘tis mine and I will have it’

• It is much longer comparison than the three used by Antonio but does you think it is more striking/effective/convincing?

I do think that the way that Shylock worded it was more effective.

Act Four, Scene Two

1. What invitation does Portia refuse and why?

To dine with Antonio and Bassanio

1. What does Nerissa plan to get, why do you think this is important?

The ring that she gave her husband.

1. Do you admire Portia after these scenes, or do you find her actions cruel. Use examples to support your thinking.

I do. She stood up for her husband and friends and it was really good on her.
