Live Aid

 In 1985 the concert Live Aid took place. It was to help people in Ethiopia have access to food.  

In London, Wembly Stadium Queen performed. They performed many songs. 1 being we are the champions. It's an uplifting song and would encourage others to do things such as donate to Ethiopia. 

This concert was a type of protest. It's a peaceful fundraising protest in which they raise many and awareness for Ethiopia. It disrupted the entire world providing an amazing performance also provided help for Ethiopia.

With all the laws and restrictions over the world, it would be difficult to work around those laws. People have also adapted to their own kind of music taste so gaining interest from everyone would be difficult as they'd get bored listening to different genres rather quickly.

Music changes people's viewpoints and their understanding. Musicians often show a person how they feel and relate to others. It helps with proving a point as music can be relatable. 

 

All Summer in a Day by Ray Bradbury: English.

 Within this text, I had to find 3 words I didn't know the meaning of. I had to find and write the definition clear enough to be understood.

Slackening: Slackening is to slow or decrease in speed or even to loosen something like a rope.

Tumultuously: A loud uprise in sound. A loud noise e.g: The crowd created a loud booming applause. 

Apparatus: The structure of something. The equipment or resources needed for a system to work.

The exposition 

The characters we learn about are Margot, some other kids around the age of 9, their teacher, and Margot's parents.

We learn that they are on the planet Venus, that sun is a very uncommon thing and only shines on the planet every 7 years. It is a planet of nonstop rain. So we learn that the rain is the antagonist even though it's not a living being. The mood is very depressing, these kids must be taught about what the sun is and how miserable their lives are as they must stay underground to survive the onslaught of floods and rain. 

We were tasked to find a simile, a metaphor, and an example of sensory language and this line in my mind works perfectly for all 3.  

The children pressed to each other like so many roses, so many weeds, intermixed, peering out for a look at the hidden sun. 

Pressed to each other is your sensory language. Saying that they are pressed like roses is the simile. Comparing kids to weeds is the metaphor.

Our final task was to find an example of show not tell and I think that this is a great example of that. The description of the sun and how it's simple but defines what the sun is. 

I think the sun is a flower, That blooms for just one hour.
