Here at London Nautical School we say that “money can’t bring you happiness”,we prove this by showing how well a kid has bonded at school while we are unable to afford new chairs/books,any trips that we have will be costing around the £500-£600 range even for a trip down the road.We like to show that using temporary buildings works as well just as using an actual building as the cost of building it will be the same as the schools bribes towards Ofsted to get a good review on the schools record.

Departments

In our maths department we roll dice to check if we are going above the schools budget,if we are we have to break a couple of lights to preserve electricity.Our sports department our very important to us without the department to school will run out of water to be used in the water bottle. our English department is underfunded as it relies on 50 Year old to kill a mockingbird books to stay on top of our advanced learning programs that keep our school famous in the dead schools category.

In school they separate the Africans and Caribbeans from everyone else but put in a separate room a special designed room for Africans and Caribbean called referral base.

The American civil rights leader, Martin Luther King has been assassinated.

Martin Luther King was shot dead in the southern US city of Memphis, Tennessee, where he was to lead a march of sanitation workers protesting against low wages and poor working conditions.

‘Nonviolence is the answer to the crucial political and moral questions of our time.Man must envolve for all human conflict a method which rejects revenge, agression and retalition’.

King was influenced  by Maliatma Gandhi as India was the first nation to establish violence.Martin Luther King thinks that Nonviolence is a powerful tool that saves peoples life and stop the causes of injury and death.

He led the Montgomery bus boycott and helped found the Southern Christian Leadership Comference (SCLC).

Tom Robinson can be a mockingbird because he was trying to be nice to the Mayella Ewell but he got accused of raping her by her dad and he has lost his innocense that is why he is a mocking bird.My understanding of a mockingbird is that a mocking bird is someone who harms noone and makes”pleasant music”.

The symbolism of the courthouse can be seen in the pillars holding up the courthouse its self. For example, on p.179, we read ‘The Maycomb County court-house was reminiscent in one respect,the concrete pillars is supporting its south roof were too heavy for their burden.’ This tells me that the who made the building was not good at making builders because they made the pillars stronger than the actuarial building. ‘when the building burnt down they built one around it in 1865.’ During the 1865 times was the american civil war and all that remained from the building was the pillars symbolise the burden the civalo was symboliase the black people fighting for their rights,there was also was a rusty,unreliable because they wanted to be connected to the slavery.

The story begins when four-year-old Richard sets fire to his grandmother’s house in Jackson, Mississippi, and, as punishment, is nearly beaten to death by his mother. He recovers, and the brutal punishment establishes in Richard an ability to survive any circumstance. The family then moves to Memphis, Tennessee, where Richard’s father eventually deserts the family. In Memphis, Richard learns about racism both from what he observes in the world and how his family members humiliate themselves in front of whites. It is also here that Richard becomes alienated from God and the Christian faith, developing in its place an abiding love of the natural world.

As Richard grows up, he begins to see how easily he might repeat the patterns that have trapped black men for generations. When his mother becomes ill, however, Richard moves with her back to Jackson to live with his oppressive grandmother. There, sees opportunities for breaking out of his preordained life and avoid becoming trapped in it. He also recognizes how religion can unite people along lines other than skin color. Prayer also brings added value: Although Richard is unable to talk to God when he prays, he does find ideas for stories, thus beginning his life as a writer.

By age 12, Richard has alienated himself from most of his family, which reinforces his role as an outsider, a role he later finds is shared by many American writers. Throughout the next several years, he excels at school but feels detached from his classmates; he also lands a few part-time jobs but feels alienated from his supervisors and coworkers. Because Richard behaves differently than other black children, the community tries to shame him into submission, which he refuses. By age 16, Richard is determined to be a writer, yet he is cognizant of the dangers of a black youth having that aspiration while living in the South, so he dreams of getting away and going North.

After graduation and another failed stint at a job, Richard steals the money to go North. He is horrified by his crime because it fulfills the expectations his extended family holds for him. He also recognizes that crime produces additional suffering in the world, and Richard wants to be a part of social good, not social ills. With his stolen money, Richard is able to move part-way north, back to Memphis, where life is not radically different than in Jackson. After an especially degrading incident at a new job, Richard throws himself into reading novels and other works by American and European writers. He realizes that he is destined to become a writer and soon flees to Chicago. He knows that the South will always be a part of him, but he is determined to flourish in his new life, thus exacting revenge on the Southern social system.

Agent 47 (Timothy Olyphant) has no name because he was raised as an orphan from birth by a shadow organization named the Agency, which is “known to all governments” and performs assassinations for hire. He has been trained in all the killing skills and never killed humans , which is why the young woman Nika (Olga Kurylenko) is such a challenge for him. A prostitute held in slavery by the drug-dealing brother of the Russian president, she follows him, obeys him, offers herself to him and, although he remains distant, 47 cannot remain indifferent.

Agent 47 is in Russia on a job: Assassinate Belicoff (Ulrich Thomsen), the president. This he thinks he does. Yet Belicoff appears in public almost immediately after the hit, alive and speaking. How did this happen? An alternative agent named Mike (Dougray Scott) to agent 47 he is an enemy.

How it happens is that Agent 47 is betrayed by the Agency and finds himself being pursued by both Interpol and the Russian secret police. As he and Nika move from St. Petersburg to Moscow, there is one shoot-out after another, close escapes, high-tech booby traps, and so on.

What I found interesting about the movie was the lonely self-sufficiency of Agent 47, his life without a boyhood, his lack of a proper name, his single-purpose training. When Nika comes into his life, he is trained to guard against her, but he cannot, because she is helpless, needy, depends on him and is a victim like himself. So he takes her along (which only increases her danger) while not making love. You know what? I think they trained him to make war, not love.

There is also intrigue at the highest levels of Russian politics, as the moderate Belikoff is apparently targeted for death. All of that is well done. Other scenes, which involve Agent 47 strolling down corridors, an automatic weapon in each hand, shooting down opponents who come dressed as Jedi troopers in black. The troopers spring into sight, pop up and start shooting, and he has target practice. He also jumps out of windows without knowing where he’s going to land, and that feels like he too works alone, is a professional, cuts off his emotions, seems lonely and cold. But the movie is more about him.

I recently read an article on the use of slang by Isabelle Kerr. In this, she talks about how slang is ruining the “great language” of English and how young people don’t use it anyway. Srsly though, what is she chatting?

Shakespeare made his own language so why can’t young people? Take the sentence ‘The blushing girl sat huddled in the bedroom, the lustrous moonbeams highlighting the radiance of her face’; though all of these words seem commonplace, in fact every one in bold was coined by Shakespeare. For example, moonbeam, a compound of moon and beam, was first recorded in Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream.

Shakespeare introduced 1700 new words into the English language. He drastically changed the way English evolved. People of my generation wouldn’t recognise pre-Shakespearean language, as his words are now commonplace. The younger generation wouldn’t know anything about this contribution or even what it means, but the older generation probably does know it better than us, mostly because language changes with every decade that passes. However, I guarantee not everyone in the older generation knows Shakespearean language, so the point I’m getting at is that there are words that can come in handy in the “young generation” of slang. Words like “can’t” and “don’t” all started as contractions. Before, they were “do not” and “can not” without the apostrophe replacing part of the word so it is shortened. Miss Kerr’s argument that “twerk” is destroying the English language even further by sitting “embarrassingly next to ’twere, an archaic word reminiscent of an era of great language and literary triumph” is ultimately flawed. “‘Twere” is a contraction of “it were” that was recorded in 1578.

Miss Kerr says that slang infects the way young people to speak or talk. In my opinion they make a decision to talk or speak it; they don’t use it all the time, they only use it with their friends etc – no one would really use it to their parents or a teacher. The reason being that the teacher or parents will not understand what we are saying.  By definition , slang is currency amongst the younger generation. They use slang to shorten words eg wuu2 (what you up too); another example is nm (nothing much). Isabelle Kerr goes on to say ‘Slang is mostly related to image, reputation and sex’. I disagree with this. Slang is not mostly related to image, reputation and sex – Miss Kerr has only given one example and that is ‘twerking’, a type of dancing in which an individual, usually a female, dances to music in a sexually provocative manner involving thrusting hip movements and a low squatting stance. To me that is only one example and it has almost become a cliche, and I have not heard of anything else using image,sex and reputation. Also, if you went up to someone and you were talking, you wouldn’t say “Did you see that girl doing that type of dance to music in a sexually provocative manner involving thrusting hips movements and a low squatting stance?” You would just say, “Did you see that girl ‘twerk’?” All you are doing shortening the word and saving time. Likewise, you wouldn’t go up to your friends and say, “Did you see your friend take a self-portrait photograph?”

Slang words are included in online dictionaries to help people learn them – not even I know a lot about slang, I just know the basics. So when someone mentions a “colloquial” word on social media and I don’t know the word, I just go the internet, type it in and it will give me an instant up to date answer. Kerr is correct in that not all young people use slang, but it is important that these words are added to the dictionary anyway to record how language  is changing and  evolving.
