But mostly I hate the way I don't hate you.
Repetition is when a word or phrase is repeated a lot of times.
The poem 10 things I hate about you uses a great deal of repetition.
In the poem, "I hate the way..." Is repeated 10 times through 4 stanzas, this makes it powerful because at the end of the poem, the word which the audience will remember the most is "hate", which is a very negative word. "Not even" is repeated 3 times throughout the last verse. This is juxtaposition because first she hates him and now she says she doesn't hate him at all, to emphasise. The writer uses powerful language like repetition and juxtaposition to give a clear message to the audience that she doesn't hate him. "Not even close, not even a little bit, not even at all".
But mostly I hate the way I don't hate you
Metre is a beat which is a constant rhythm.
The poem 10 things I hate about you uses regular iambic metre and a broken beat to help the character show its emotions.
I hate the way you talk to me. The Poem uses, iambic metre to make it sound like natural speech and to keep the words flowing. However it has a "broken beat" which comes up sometimes through the stanzas. But mostly I hate the way I don't hate you.This shows how her emotion is breaking like when she starts crying. The writer uses a metre with broken beats and the I am beat which makes the character give her emotions.

Metaphor paragraph
And the head itself, a ton of sculptured stone .It ran with a gliding ballet step, far too poised and balanced for its ten tons.Time was a film run backward. It came on great oiled, resilient, striding legs. It towered thirty feet above half of the trees, a great evil god, folding its delicate watchmaker's claws close to its oily reptilian chest.
"Time was a film run backward"

The sound of thunder uses a great deal of metaphors particularly when describing the t-Rex. "folding its delicate watchmaker's claws close to its oily reptilian chest" tells the precision of the t-Rex claws, and that the t-Rex hands is very different to the rest of its body."The monster twitched its jeweller's" tells us that the t-Rex has very tiny hands."It ran with a gliding ballet step, far too poised and balanced for its ten tons" tells us that the t-Rex is walking very elegantly like a ballet dancer, saying that he is walking not how a dinosaur is supposed to walk . "And the head itself, a ton of sculpture stone", tells that the t-Rex has a very big head compared to the rest of his body size. The sound of thunder uses metaphors, it makes the story more interesting and it gives you a better idea about something. For example when he says how the claws are like a watchmakers delicate hands, so he uses something simple to describe something without using to many words.

foreshadowing paragraph
The sound of thunder
Foreshadowing:
'We guarantee nothing'.The sound of thunder uses a great deal of foreshadowing brilliantly.
Foreshadowing is when something in the beginning of the story tells us what is going to happen later.
For example when the writer puts in the sign "TIME SAFARI, INC. SAFARIS TO ANY YEAR IN THE PAST. YOU NAME THE ANIMAL. WE TAKE YOU THERE.YOU SHOOT IT" this is foreshadowing because the sign comes up at the end again but then changes. The title 'The sound of thunder' tells us what happens at the end because that's the last secentence.'We guarantee nothing' is another example because it tells us something bad is going to happen.The sound of thunder uses foreshadowing, however the writer uses it well because he makes sure that it's not that noticeably. As the writer does not want to spoil the ending because otherwise there would be no point of reading further.

The independent and migrants
Red and white for migrants!
The Independent newspaper uses lots of words/phrases to describe the migrants moving to safe countries. The independent is positive towards the refugees. Important words used in the newspaper are migrants, humanity and dignity as well as the phrase, 'Syria is the largest bleeding wound'. Using the word Migrant shows who moves either temporarily or permanently, from one place, area, or country of residence to another.Interest in humanity and dignity indicates how the independent thinks positive about how people treat the migrants how they think how they think they are towards the people who are not involved in crisis. Calling Syria 'the largest bleeding wound' makes clear that there is a lot of fighting in the country, therefore there are lots of people fleeing the country to go to a wealthy and safe country. The independent thinks positively towards the migrants.The independent does this because it and it's audience care about the suffering of people making people educated of how to treat people equally.
Tuesday, 13 October 2015
Independent language of migration
Syria is the largest and most immediate bleeding wound.
And Europe’s response to date is far from the rhetoric of a union founded on the values of respect for human dignity and the protection of human rights.
Four years into the Syrian civil war, the dramatic refugee crisis can no longer be ignored by European and American leaders.
They will make a compelling case for protection based on their “well-founded fear of persecution”, the defining characteristic of a refugee in the 1951 Refugee Convention. Depressingly, they are but a fraction of the 20 million refugees and 40 million internally displaced people uprooted by conflict and persecution – the highest level ever recorded by the UN Refugee Agency.
The causes of this human tragedy need to be addressed at source. There is a clear need for European Union leaders to use the bloc’s unique combination of diplomatic, political and development assets to re-energise moribund peace processes, and to expend the diplomatic capital necessary to stay the violence that uproots an average of 42,500 people every day.
The economies, basic services and infrastructure of Lebanon, Jordan, Turkey and Iraq are collapsing under the pressure of sheltering more than four million refugees. Jordan alone expects the cost of hosting Syrians to amount to $4.2bn by 2016.
The first is to ensure that refugees arriving in Europe are treated with humanity and dignity.
This means ensuring that traumatised arrivals receive food, water, medical assistance, safe shelter and access to toilets as soon as they arrive, rather than enduring the squalid conditions that currently greet them.
The third step is to establish a fair, comprehensive, common European asylum policy, which ensures that all asylum applications are processed according to international standards, and shares out responsibility for hosting refugees among all EU member states.
English European Union leaders will attempt to charm Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan today at a Brussels summit, as they seek his help to staunch the flow of Syrian refugees to Europe.
With Turkey currently hosting nearly two million Syrian refugees, the EU wants Erdogan to prevent them heading west, exacerbating a migration crisis that is already testing the limits of European solidarity.
for any refugees being returned – in spite of European concerns that the growing campaign against Kurds makes Turkey less safe for some.
EU governments suspect this is less about resolving a humanitarian crisis and more about crushing the Kurds,There is already widespread dismay in Europe
Erdogan has been dismissive of the recent EU convulsions over the influx of refugees, pointing out that the estimated 500,000 who have arrived in Europe so far this year pales in comparison with two million Syrians he is hosting, of whom around 15 per cent are in state-run camps. Last month he accused the EU of turning the Mediterranean into a "cemetery".

Migration crisis diaspora
Migration crisis diaspora:
Not everyone is as lucky you are!
There are civil wars going on Syria, Iraq, Pakistan and Afghanistan, therefore lots of people (migrants) are fleeing away from there home country to travel to Europe to avoid the violence going on in their country.
The "migration crisis" is a victim diaspora.
It's a victim diaspora because they are a victims of the civil war, they have no choice but to leave their country and everything else behind to go to a safe and wealthy country.
They are not moving to a better life, because they were not poor, they had a good job, a house however now they lost everything and have to begin from the beginning.
I really just hope that the civil wars stops in all those countries that suffer and hope that the people could carry on their normal life's they had. However instead loads of people are fleeing and end up with nothing. I think no one would like to stay in a country where there is non stop war, non stop killing going on and where you don't feel safe. I think instead of waiting till all the population of those countries come to Europe I think we should try and help in the countries where there is war so we can stop it and let the people live in their country. If it hasn't happened it's only a matter of time until the migrants take over all the countries who are not in a civil war.

Antwerp diaspora
Antwerp diaspora:
Did you know the 17th century was the golden age of Antwerp.
There are lots of examples of diasporas however one of them is trade diaspora. A trade diaspora is a community, often members of an extended family, that goes abroad to conduct trade in a host society. One of the examples of a trade diaspora is the Antwerp diaspora.
The Antwerp diaspora was a trade diaspora.
One of the reasons why the Antwerp diaspora is a trade diaspora because of the religious and political events of the 1560s and 1570s intervened. Making the Dutch revolt against the Spanish rule which toppled the commercial dominance of Antwerp, as well as the southern provinces. The Religious and political repression gave unrest, more policing, ever higher taxes to pay for this policing, revolts, more repression, war and destruction. This caused a gliding downfall of production, trade, banking and business in general. Belgium was ruined, with more than half of the surviving population fleeing, mainly to the north.
That North (now Holland / The Netherlands) became free and independent therefore over 40% of the population of Amsterdam consisted of immigrants, mainly from Antwerp. With them most of the trade, banking and intellectual elite of the south.
The Antwerp diaspora is a trading diaspora, religious and political events caused most of Belgium to leave to the north ( Holland) because the became free and independent: the Golden Age of Holland in the making.

Diasporas and migration crisis
Lots of people leave their country and go away, but why?
Imperial diaspora is migrants who go to another land that has been conquered by their own nation and enjoy higher status on account of their national ties to the ruling power.
Many of the people are moving to lands who have been conquered by the empire to have better lives working for the empire.
The Hungarian imperial diaspora, happened because of the border changes of the post in world war 1, the victorious forces redrew the borders of Hungary so that it runs through Hungarians majority areas. As consequences 3.3 million Hungarians found themselves outside the new borders and not anymore in Hungarian territory. The distribution of Hungarians are mostly in Slovakia, Serbia, Romania and in Ukraine.
The Russian imperial diaspora, took place at the beginning of the 1990s, Russia had experienced one of the most dramatic periods in its history, as a result losing the former administrative Russian Republic of the Soviet Union who became a separate sovereign state. Israel and Germany received the largest shares of Russian speaking immigrants, because of incentives provided by the governments of both countries.
There are different types of diasporas however a imperial diaspora is when people leave their country and go to another land which has been conquered by their own nation. The verb form of diaspora is diaspeiro. In each instance, diaspeiro relates to the scattering of the Christians of Hellenistic Jewish origin (Greek-speaking Jewish Christians from the diaspora) in areas where there was a non-Jewish majority, but also in the area around Jerusalem and toward Samaria. The unique contribution of these verses in the use of diaspeiro is that those who were scattered served essential factors in the expansion of early Christianity or to missions.

Bananas are better than pineapples
Many people like pineapples, but why if there are bananas!!!
Pineapples and bananas are two different fruit however many people prefer pineapples or bananas. Bananas are grown at banana farms in tropical regions of the world. pineapple originated in the Americas, most likely in the region where Argentina, Paraguay and Brazil meet. However I think that bananas have more benefits than pineapples.
I like pineapples however I seem to prefer bananas better.
For example bananas are a perfect snack before, in between or after activities. As well as Bananas are very sweet and they are very easy to peel open, so perfect for kids. Although some people have braces they might not be able to eat everything however bananas are soft and there is no risk of you braces coming of.
So when you feel like eating a pineapple you first have to peel it which you need lots of force as well as a sharp knife which is very dangerous for small kids. However with a banana it's safe for everyone because all you have to do is take the peel of which is done in 2 seconds. Although pineapples are not that bad to eat, after a few bites my tongue starts to tingle making it feel very disturbing and sometimes painful. As well as painful tongues pineapples also are very annoying when you want a smoothie and you pug it in the mixer, the mixer starts to block however with bananas they mix perfectly. Pineapples are also harder which makes it not that handy for people with braces.
Bananas are clearly the best fruit ever since because they are easy to peel, eat and are super delicious. If you want to see more about bananas watch the minions.

Migrants going to Belgium
For days and weeks migrants mostly from Syria, Iraq, Pakistan and Afghanistan have been traveling to Europe, of which some of them have decided to immigrate to Belgium, but why?
In the countries Syria, Iraq, Pakistan and Afghanistan there is a civil war going on, therefore lots of people (migrants) are going away from there home country to travel further to Europe to avoid the serious war going on in their country.
Many of the migrants are emigrating from Budapest to Belgium because Belgium is a wealthy and safe country to live in.
For example Belgium provides the migrants financial support, health care, education, monthly money, food, a flat to live in ect.
Belgium only provides this if the people come from a country with war but not when they are an economical refugee because then you are send back.
Once they are signed in and checked they are allowed to stay.
The migrants not only want to go to Belgium however also to Germany, Holland, Canada, America, Italy and more however the reason is because these countries are safe and far away from war. The migrants will get more money and everything else they need. For example they would not like to stay in Hungary because here they would earn less.
No one would like to stay in a country where there is non stop war, non stop killing going on and where you don't feel safe. I think instead of waiting till all the population of those countries come to Europe I think we should try and help in the countries where there is war so we can stop it and let the people live in their country. If it hasn't happened it's only a matter of time until the migrants take over Belgium.
