Informational text

1) The main point of this article is to show the people the new record breaking bike that it shaped like an actual bullet. The idea was presented in the beginning of the article when the writer said,“The contraption, named Eta, reached speeds of 137.9 kilometers (85.7 miles) per hour—matching a high speed for a typical car”. The idea then develops through the article and starts talking about how they came up with the idea and how the bike was made and it’s physical appearance.“These features make for a bike that’s extremely aerodynamic, meaning it moves easily through the air. The bike’s shape and smooth surface give it 100 times less drag than many cars. Drag, or air resistance, is a slowing force caused by air molecules rubbing against a surface”. 2) The purpose of this article is to tell the world about this magnanimous record breaking bullet bike.Told us and informed us and tell us about the bike plus he wanted to make us feel persuaded to love it and feel like wanting to try it. organization:The writer wrote this article in a very good way in which the reader enjoys what he reads and actually knows what he is reading. He has done this to engage the reader with his information and to be interested in knowing and completing reading the article.

who wrote this article ? When was it published? those two questions would show if we can rely on the information in this article or not. I think the article is a reliable source since it was written by a well known author. Another reason why i think its reliable is because the article was posted recently , which is now in November and that is a very close date.

Ebullience

The ebullient song was so uplifting that I danced in my chair.

[na-j-la-blog]

At 2:31am, Christopher wakes up because people are shouting. One of the voices is his father's. His mother is obviously really mad that his father told Christopher she was dead. But his father wants some recognition for having taken care of him all this time. His dad insists on speaking to him, so Christopher gets his Swiss Army knife ready. Dad comes in the room and apologises again and again… and again. He's crying.Christopher is frightened and doesn't respond at all. The way Christopher's father acted and the fact that he bent on his knees and kept crying just so he could get his son back is very touching. I think this song suits this scene so much because it shows how much his dad cares about him and all the things he did for Christopher when his mum was away and that he chased him all the way to London just to ask for his forgiveness.

How my opinion on social media changed

To be honest I’ve always use social media as a way of entertainment and as a time waster. It was always about popularity and gaining more likes or notes on whatever I post. I knew that social media had some positives sides but I never knew what it was. Now I know that social media could be used for education purposes. You can also understand others people point of view on things.My opinion on social media has completely changed from doing this project. Social media could benefit you only if you use it in a correct way. I also think that my critical thinking skills improved from this project.Its also a better way to share your ideas with others. People who look at social media in a negative way maybe don't use it in a good way. So it all depends on the way you use it. Social media could be useful and education. Social media no longer has to be an obstacle to studying; it can help students create and manage a study community, make the best use of study time, and find new resources to help them learn and retain knowledge.2. Social networking teaches students skills they’ll need to survive in the business world.

I totally agree with your opinion because making fun of people first of all isn't good and making fun of people with disabilities is even worse.Making fun of them will make them feel different than others and that they are not acceptable in that specific society. It’s also unfair to make fun of them or humiliate them because ,as you said, they never chose to have this condition.

Portraying people with disabilities in entertainment media is unfair

This is 100 percent true. Making fun of people’s disability shouldn’t be considered as an “entertainment,” that’s one. Two, people with those disabilities are already insecure about what they have to go through, and people are adding humiliation. This is just making them feel worst. In any sort of entertainment, if it will hurt the person’s feelings in the end, then this is where the unfairness comes. Those people never chose to be like this, It is how they were born. Doing such thing like using people with disabilities as a side of entertainment is called being lifeless, and childish. A child will even understand better. Doing that, is also meaning you being rude to that person. 

Though, portraying people as in inspiring others, and showing them that its okay to be disabled, then you are being useful and spreading positivity. Instead of just wasting time by being rude, you can show people that being disabled dosent mean anything. You can always achieve your goals, dosent matter in which situation you stand.

isolation

1)“I think I would make a very good astronaut. To be a good astronaut you have to be intelligent and I’m intelligent. You also have to understand how machines work and I’m good at understanding how machines work. You also have to be someone who would like being on their own in a tiny space-craft thousands and thousands of miles away.“ (Chapter 83). 2)“And when I was asleep I had one of my favorite dreams… And in the dream nearly everyone on the earth is dead.“ (Chapter 229). 3)“It was nice in the police cell.” (Chapter 23) -Christopher prefers to be alone, but knows he’s unable take care of himself on his own. Is there a contradiction here? Yes I think there's a contradiction because even bough Christopher loves being alone and isolated, he needs an adult or an elder person to take care of him. Christopher has a special condition which is Aspergers Syndrome which makes it hard for him to be independent. His disability also makes it hard for him to social and understand others. So for Christopher to be independent, he needs to overcome his adversity and stop isolating himself from other. -Why is Christopher okay with touching animals but not humans ? Christopher doesn't like to be with people a lot and he finds it difficult to understand them. Christopher is fine with touching animals and actually feels comfortable around them because they won't harm him. That also explains why his pet rat Toby is his best friend. Christopher also told us that he thinks that animals are faithful. He doesn't mind touching animals because he understands them and trusts them.

I totally agree with you that it's unreasonable to use violence in an unreasonable situation.I think that there is always a peaceful and a less harmful resolution to any situation. And the examples you gave are a proof of that. Like for example when Christopher’s father had hit him and it didn’t end well, it actually made matters worse. I also agree with the last part which is to treat people the way you want to be treated.

Violence can be a reasonable response to an unreasonable situation.

I disagree with this quote because violence isn’t the way to get answers of what a person might ask, most people when they don’t get the answer they want they use violence which could cause bigger problems.

It’s unreasonable to use violence in any situation, hatred and revenge will be the answer to the person who uses violence,like when Christopher’s father hit him because he lied to him about the book and did some investigating. which Christopher hated the way his father treated him, but thankfully he apologized after but it’s not something to forget.  The response of Christopher’s father was not reasonable because why would he hit his son instead of talking to him and know why he did investigating even though his father told him not to. 

Violence is not the way you would like to be treated with so treat others the way you want to be treated.

"Violence can be a reasonable response to an unreasonable situation."

I disagree with this statement because I think that violence isn't the best option when it comes to unreasonable situations. Violence isn't a responsible move and it makes the situations even worse than it was. Violence could also cause more problems. A reasonable act to do is to inform trained and experienced people like the cops to help you in situations like that. For example Christopher and how he hit the policeman because he didn’t like being touched and that made Christopher get into a bigger problem which was a warning from the police . I know that Christopher has a disorder that makes him think and act the way he does but generally speaking this example shows how violence can turn a whole situation upside down. Some people would argue and say that he was trying to defend himself but there's a difference between self defence and violence.To sum up what I just said, I think that violence is not a right way to react to any problem because it does not solve any problem and it makes the problem get bigger and even worse.

The decision that Christopher made:

In chapter 179 Christopher decides to run away from his home and go live in London with his mother. He made this decision for that is because his father told him that he killed Wellington !! he also found out that his mother was still alive and that his father hid the letters that his mother had send to him .Christopher couldn't trust his father no more and got scared because his father was both a liar and a killer . “ I killed Wellington Christopher ” “I had to get out of the house father had killed Wellington .That means that he could murder me." The only option Christopher had was to go to London because his mother was there and she's a family member .

And the last character I chose to cast in the movie is Thomas Brodie-Sangster ( Christopher ). I chose him because he looks like a normal kid that doesn’t have any syndrome or disease just like Christopher. he also seems to be quiet and having everything planned and discussed in his mind.

[na-j-la-blog]

As for Christopher's mother (that turned out that she's not dead), I chose Lake Bell because she seems like a loveable and intelligent person that likes what's best for other people. She also looks like caring person.

[na-j-la-blog]

As Christopher’s father, I chose Paul Rudd because he looks like a responsible 30-40 year old father that loves his son and doesn’t make any mistakes and that he’s perfect. He also looks like an innocent person.

A quote showing Christopher overcoming his adversity

“Inspired by his Good Day, Christopher draws a map of his neighborhood and sets out to question the people on his block about the murder. He does not like talking to strangers, so he clutches his Swiss Army knife tight inside his pocket as he approaches Mr. Thompson’s house.”
