  1. Do you think the way they handled the snake incident was appropriate? What could they have done differently? Yes, because they didn't kill it they just left it to go back into the bush.
  2. Ellie claims that ‘Hell’ is only a label and that people label things all the time, often ignoring or overlooking certain labeled places or things. She then comes to the conclusion that ‘Hell was people’. Is she right? What’s your opinion, on labeling and Hell? I think it's a hard place to get to that's why its called hell but it could also mean that maybe hell was people.
  3. What was especially peculiar about the planes that flew over Hell? ‘Their ------, their ------, their----- frightened me.’ Do these characteristics have any significance?
  4. Corrie and Kevin are the only couples in the group, but the trip was bound to bring friends closer. So why does Homer’s interest in Fi seem so odd to Ellie?
  5. Fi brushes off the planes coming back from Commemoration Day. Why do you think the planes were flying over Wirrawee? To go to there hometown and destroy it and also began a war which could probably relate to the title of the book "Tomorrow, when the war began".
  6. Robyn claims there were dozens and dozens of planes flying over them. What is Lee’s response? Is his suggestion reasonable?

its not quite finished.

1) What are the advantages and disadvantages of first-person narration?
I think no because Ellie is not the only main character in this book so we might hear stuff from other people in the book.

2) Why do you think Ellie needs to tell the story in chronological order?
She is telling us stuff in order like she's going to start from the beginning.

3) Pick one interesting word from the chapter, find its meaning, and explain why it is interesting.
orgy - In modern usage, an orgy is a sex party where guests freely engage in open and unrestrained sexual activity or group sex.

4) John Marsden foreshadows several events and characters in this chapter. Make three predictions based on the evidence in the text about what may occur later in the story.

5) What kind of story do you think Ellie is going to tell? Uses evidence from the text to support your answers.

Today I learned about the 4 dimensions and the four walls and how they affect others.

My physical well-being is my fitness and I also have an injury. 

The things that I do well to look after my taha tinana is that I go to CrossFit to keep improving my fitness etc.

The things that I could do better for my physical well-being are how I eat like less junk food etc.

This dimension is one of the 4 dimensions that I don't need to work on my social well-being.

The time of Apartheid was when black people got treated like slaves and that they were
treated differently to white people. The film The Power Of One, directed by John Avildsen,
we see in this scene how P.K will still young and how he got treated at school when he was taken away from his family.  The following techniques are used in this scene: Close-up shot,
Low-key Lighting and Diegetic. The film Technique helped this important idea and also created the 
scene to have a strong impact on the audience.


In The Power Of One, director John Avildsen used a Close-up shot, For instance, the director,
John Avildsen, Used a close-up shot to show the anger in the face of Jaapie Botha.
The director did this to show us that Jaapie Botha is a bully and he has more power over
Geel Piet. This makes the audience feel Bad for P.K because of the action that P.K did to
Jaapie Botha. Now P.K is gonna get payback for what he did. This reminds me of the scene where Geel Piet was getting abused by Sergeant Bormann and It also made us feel the same way.

In the scene where Jaapie Botha hits P.K, we see the aspect of a low-key lighting. For instance,
the director, John Avildsen, Used a Low-key lighting to show us that the scene is in a dark room.
The Director did this to show us that the room was dark and to show us the anger in
Jaapie Botha face. This makes the audience feel sad because P.K is hanging from the roof and the look in Jaapie Botha face is not a good sign. This reminds of the scene Where Jaapie Botha was demanding and hitting the black person because he didn’t know where P.K was.


The director of The Power of One, John Avildsen, uses a diegetic sound.
For example, John Avildsen, Used a diegetic sound when Jaapie Botha was getting a tattoo.
The director did this to show us that there is music used in the background that the Hitler gang listens to. This technique created impact by helping me see that Jaapie is getting a tattoo and showing the support for Hitler and is also feeling powerful.
This scene reminds me of when P.K got told his mum has passed away and in that scene,
they used the same techniques by using Low key Lighting.

In conclusion, It shows us in the movie The Power Of One how black people got treated by getting abused and getting forced to do stuff. A scene that shows us that, is how P.K will still
young and how he got treated at school when he was taken away
from his family. The following techniques are used in this scene:diegetic sound, Close up-shot, and Low key lighting.
The film Technique shows a strong significant impact on the
audience to see how Afrikaners were treated during Apartheid.
