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.

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.
