My overall point of justice

At first, i i didn't actually knew the meaning of justice, i thought it meant equality or fair. But actually through these 8 or 7 weeks, I've learned alot about justice and reputation too. I didn't know what reputation mean.I have learnt that justice doesn't mean equality it means rightfulness or lawfulness. The judge in the court should use justice. He shouldn't let a criminal get away with his crime for money.

What i learned about reputation is that there is a bad reputation and a good one. An example of someone who has a famous reputation is Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan, everyone loved him, he have helped many people and countries that were poor. Not only the emirati people loved him but also other people from other countries. ٍٍSheikh Zayed left and implant in us the love of the homeland and the pride of belonging to him

My opinion on using social media for projects

I think it's a good idea for students to use social media for a project and it have changed my look on social media. Before i looked at social media as if it was bad or time wasting, but now after using it for a project i see that it helps the students in reading more and writing what they feel.

To the people who look at social media in a bad way, they should not argue or make a fuss about social media until they use it in a good way. Social media can be useful and educational if it was used in the write way, such as using it for school projects or writing your assignments.

It’s a useful thing because it gathers all students of grade 10 in one program, which is called Tumblr. They connect us at any time and could see any posts from another students, it allows the different ideas from all students to meet and to react in one time, sometimes it correct my information...

I agree with my friend wezzy because he stated reasons and said his opinion on using social media for this project. And he argued on about the people who look at social media in a bad way. He said what was good about using social media and gave examples. He said and explained why he disagrees with the people who look at social media in a bad way.

I chose this song for Act 1 Scene 2 where Docker tells the piano's story,and that the Sutter family owned the Charles family. Where he wanted to make a present out of his friend, Joel Nolander's, piano but could not afford it, so he traded a full half grown slave, Doaker's grandmother Berniece and his father, for the instrument. It was a sad scene because it showed that in that days people would trade slaves for instruments and that those slaves were not free and did not have a life.Doaker sadly tells the story, so i thought that this is the best piano play for that scene.

"Everybody got stones in their passway. You got to step over them or walk around them. You picking them up and carrying them with you."

-Avery

It means that eveyrone has or would have some problem in their life, and you just need to step on them and pass them, it means that you should ignore them or just go in a different direction. You shouldn't pick them up and carry them on your shoulders, it would just make everything worse. Avery uses the metaphor of carrying stones, when he encourages Berniece to let go of her painful past. He thinks that Berniece is letting the problems of her life pull her down.

WK6 Answering questions.

Do you like tumblr? explain.

Yes, because it's another way and easier, more interesting too, for assignments. It's more fun than sitting in the class and writing in a journal. You also get to read what did your friend wore and to agree with them or not.

Do you prefer a social media website ?

Yes, it's an exciting way of doing work. also we can brag about it to the students who are in other schools and not using social media for assignments.

What website could also be used to do this type of school assignment?

Edmodo, is a good website that is used for learning and studying, there are many schools that uses this websites, it's the world's largest K-12 social learning community where teachers, students, and parents can connect safely and securely.

Was this tumblr assignment good, or would you have preferred writing your responses in a journal in class time? Why/why not?

The tumblr assignment was good, and i prefer this much better than sitting in a classroom and writing in a journal during class time only, because it's actually more interesting to use a famous social media website in doing assignments.

What changes would you make to this assignment for next time?

The changes would be less assignments to do, there's nothing else than that, everything is just perfect.

The terrorist threat posed by radicalized Muslim- Americans has been exaggerated, according to a study released Wednesday by researchers at Duke University and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.

This article says that Muslim-Americans are terrorists. I see this as injustice for the Muslim Americans and the Muslims, it says that most of the muslims are terrorists or has to do something with terrorism. When you say the word Muslim or Islam to someone who doesn't know much about this religion the first thing that comes in their mind is terrorism. It is not true, not all muslims are terrorist, Muslim-Americans has the rights to chose whatever religion they want, they shouldn't be named as terrorist. Just because of 9/11 most of the innocent Muslim-Americans gets killed, why ? because they think they are terrorist when actually they are Americans and they care about America (their country) just like any other american.

A Lesson that I think every grade 10 student around the world should be taught

A lesson that every grade 10 students should be studying is how to live independently, for example 1 or 2 periods a week, a lesson called living independently, and is taught by a wise teacher, teaching the students how to trust yourself and to live independently without depending on other people like your parents. Also teach us how to accept the problems that may happen in our lives and how to avoid them. A reason to support my choice is that no one will teach us what should we do in life, and another reason is some people has already problems in his/her life and they can't talk to their parents about it, so some may feel brave to talk about it with a teacher.

Berniece / Halle Berry: I think Halle Berry would suit Berniece since Halle is a strong character in many of her movies. She is a determined and independent woman chasing her dreams. Especially in the Wolverine movie, she showed her skill in acting a tough character, Storm. Like Berniece’s character, she can be wise and strong.

Boy Willie / Eddie Murphy: I think Eddie would suit Boy Willy since Eddie is always doing crazy things in his movies that are hilarious. He proved to the world he can do crazy things that are droll! Eddie Murphy is always determined and does the dumbest things ever, and gets the weirdest immature ideas. Like Boy Willie when he came up with cutting the piano into halves.

Doaker / Samuel L. Jackson: I think Samuel would fit for being Doaker because Samuel is a mature character in his movies. He is wise, intelligent and understanding. So is Doaker, he does not interfere with Boy Willie’s plan because he knows it could cause trouble to the family. He does not choose a side(Berniece or Boy W) over the other at the beginning. He stayed neutral cause he was wise.

i agree with my classmate Abdualqader because he chose suitable actors for the characters and he explained why he chose the actor for the piano lesson characters. He gave an example from the book of the character and an example from the actor and compared them for example he said that Berneice has a strong character and Halle Berry showed her skill in acting a tough character and that she would be a good actor for Berniece.

This picture shows injustice between the boy and the girl in using the cupboard, where the girl uses more than the boy. It is true that the girl has more things but still it is not fair for the boy to have less space. This is represented in the book as if the cupboard was the piano and Berniece does not want to sell the piano. So it shows that Berniece is owning the piano more than Boy Willie, when actually she shouldn't and that the piano is theirs, Boy willie and Berniece equaly.

If Berniece don't want to sell that piano... I'm gonna cut it in half and go on and sell my half. (p. 28)

Boy Willie

This quote said by Boy Willie where justice hasn't been achieved because Boy Willie needs the money and he wants to sell the piano to get half of the money, but an argue happens between him and Berniece where she refuses to sell the piano because it's the only thing that reminds them of their grandmother. And he threats that he would cut the piano in half and sell his part, without caring about the value of the piano.

Tyler Perry's Madea (Berniece) I chose Madea because she is funny, and i think she could act as Berniece, Boy Willies sister, because in the play it shows that Berniece is a strong woman and that she represents her family and tries her best to keep what's left from their grandmother, the piano. In most of Madia's movies, she is a strong independent woman, i think she will be the best actor for Berniece.

Kevin Hart (Boy willie) I chose Kevin because he is just like Boy Willie talkative, in most of Kevin Hart movies he makes jokes and keeps talking. Kevin Hart is 35 years old so he is close to Boy willie's age. Boy Willie is hard to handle, he is loud, stubborn and not afraid to fight for the things he wants, Kevin hart will be a good actor for Boy willie.

Morgan Freeman (Doaker) I chose Morgan freeman as Doaker because Doaker is an old wise man and so is Morgan, where Doaker keeps peace between Boy Willie and Berniece while they argue about selling the piano.

Extra Assignment for 10A, 10B, 10C boys

Boys, please make sure you are on your best behaviour for Ms. Lidija!

Does Social networking helps you connect to the world ?

Yes, it made communication between people easier than before. Using many social networking such as, Facebook, instagram or twitter. There are many examples on the ways that social networking helps you connect to the world for example,

-Friends

It has never been easier to make friends than it is right now. If it was 30 years ago, you would have to mail someone and wait a long time for them to reply and just keep mailing each other, but now you can text someone and in just few seconds they reply. The rise of mobile phones helped change this.

-Fast communication

Social media made communicating between people much more faster. it won't take a minute for your message to be delivered. Sending a tweet to your followers won't take 20 seconds. This is the new generation of communication.

-In touch with the world

It's not just connecting to your friends or family, social media is open to the world , making it a smaller world. When it comes to social networking everyone is equal, no matter their location is. for example, friends who you haven't seen since school and now they moved out to another country, you can still communicate with them through social networking.

You would have to read the song's lyrics to understand the song. The first thing that grabbed my attention was the song's title "Power's in the people." This is why the song is about justice. In the begging of the song it says,

"Doctor's hands are tied, Teacher's underpaid

We put all our worth in the money that is made

Times are changin, they're movin so fast

Got to stick together or we ain't gonna last"

The first line shows something that is real and it's happening, teachers are underpaid while they are the ones who help us succeed in life, and it's injustice for the teachers who gets underpaid while they're working as hard as they could to help the students learn.

Another example is where the singer says

"Well it's dog eat dog, Family livin' on the street

Daddy's beggin' for money, all he wants is a drink Television ain't the only place to get the news"

Where it talks about the poor people who doesn't have a place to live in, and the government should do something about it, it's injustice for the people who are living in the street, and the singer keeps saying

"We gotta fight, To survive, As a people

We gotta fight, fight, fight for our lives If there's ever a time, in your life You better fight, fight, fight to survive "

He doesn't mean fight as punching people on the street, but he means it as saying that we should stick together, and help each other to bring justice in our country, and keep fighting.

This song sends a message to all the people that think that your alone.They proved that their wrong when your been treated by injustice all the people will stand with you and will help you and support you with everything you need. Don’t fell bad of...

I disagree with this because after doing some research the song's name is Que Sera which means "what will be, will be" it has nothing to do with justice. It's just the crew's name who brought my friend's attention, where he though the song was about justice and then he started saying stuff about justice not the song. The song enables listeners to draw parallels with their own life experiences.

I think that this was one of the covers used for the book, but the recent ones are different. However i chose this book by judging not on the girl who is playing the piano but by her grandmother that''s behind her. The first thing that came up on my mind when i saw this picture was, the grandmother's face, it's painted as a part of her is the piano which meant why the piano was priceless to the family.
