Empathy Exercises.

1) Imagine you are Emily and you have just found out that Andy is going to Paris instead of you.

Dear Diary,
I am so furious. Miranda just hired a new assistant and as in at least a month into her job she is deciding to take Andy to Paris instead of me!
I have been preparing for this Holiday for so long, i have been starving myself to fit into clothes to buy there, I have done everything for Miranda and this is how she repays me. I have done everything she has told me to do, everything she has put me through and this is what happens.
I have learnt every name, every designer possibly everything i should kn0w.
Andy knows how hard i was working for this holiday, working my guts out to have enough money and now I'm not going.
And I'm especially angry because she broke it to me while i was in hospitable, like could she have chosen a worse time?

23 ways to fakee your weight.

I believe that this article is wrong because the media is putting out titles, photos and statements on 23 ways to fake your weight. It is kind of putting out an image that people need to be skinnier than they already are. They put a photo of Jennifer Aniston up next to the title and i dont believe that She is a person to portray to the people on having to 'fake their weight.'
They have also put a image of a tape measure onto the article showing the measurements of 20-24.

They are portraying Misha Barton as fat and wrong because of what she is wearing.

Women in 'Gold Digger'

Women in Gold Digger are being represented as women that are portrayed to be women that boys can bring home and expect to be there ' Women ' and do what they say. In Gold Digger the song lyrics set a message that the girl Kayne West wants has slept around but he doesn't necessarily care because he wants her. He states in the song 'I don't care what none of you all say I still love her.' This also proves that he doesn't care what anyone else thinks. Girls are half naked in this film clip with bikinis and booty shorts on dirty dancing. Not all women are like this and probably these women are not like this either but the film clip put a bad reputation out to women.

Maycomb Country 1930s vs Our Home Towns 2010

Welcome to the world of one of the most amazing cities in Queensland .The Gold Coast. Where the atmosphere is pumping and the people are great, and the cities always alive. The beaches are amazing and it’s always hot. I have grown up in the gold coast for five years and it’s an experience that I won’t forget.
As I have grown up here I moved to three different houses, got different jobs, owned different pets, and made new friends everywhere I go. I grew up in Robina then moved to Benowa where I changed schools back to St Hilda’s.
Everywhere you go on the gold coast the smell and feelings you get are different. When you’re near the beach it’s a salty ocean smell which some people like and some people hate. Then you get to the dirtier part of the gold coast and the smell is horrible were sometimes it smells like garbage bins.
The surf is amazing and there’s always people out there trying there best. The Gold coast holds some of the best events and especially Life Saving Clubs and Competitions. Every weekend the gold coast has some special event on so it’s never boring. There are theme parks for when it’s hot or cold.

Letter- white perspective from 1930s

Dear Pen Pal,

i am writing to you from the 1930s in the great depression stage.
life back here in the 20th century is very different compared to the 21st century where you are now!
back here our familys are considered good familys if our fathers have jobs.
not many familys have money at the moment so our lifes are consisting on very little feeds for each meal and cant buy new clothes or toys or any essentials that are needed.
everyone has atleast one or two maids to help our mothers stayed home and familys also had a nurse and cook.
Good familys are also good church members which i see now in the 21st century not as many familys attend church like they did here in the 20th century.
Good familys were also judged on the accents and how they talked.
The 20th century is very different to the 21st century seeing as people in the century you live in have high definition televisions which is very important to some familys seeing as everything is showed and based on television these days!
You have ipods and mobile phones, home phones are wireless and there are many changes on the way children were brought up and many more laws than we had.
Movie theaters wernt open on sundays and they didnt have air-conditioning.
Children had good manners and most children wernt even allowed to say shut-up.
Children in the 21st now say the most rudest things without even getting punished!
Back in my day children wernt even allowed to joke or be sarcastic, and now everything is based on jokes and sarcasm.
Parents never said bad words and little girls wernt allowed to raise their voices.
Normally little girls didnt resolve to violence and speech was a important part of their lives.
They were pulled up and corrected all the time so that they had amazing speech and manners.
Girls had sunday dresses and when they became to small they were made into everyday dresses.
Girls these days were mini shorts with half of their body revealed in places it shouldnt be.
Girls in the 20th century had restirctions on what they could wear and they would never disobey there parents.
No one ever went anywhere barefoot and they always had shoes on, even to go outside.
There was a strict code on girls not allowed to fight even play fight but it was alright for boys because its still got the phrase even now in the 21st century 'boys will be boys.'
They also were strict on their grammer and wernt allowed to talk like the black children they played with.
Girls were never allowed to say the word 'pregnant'
Our world was much more care-free and gentler.
Every didnt have anger issues and everyone was nice to each other!

I am reading Gossip Girl. This book is great and its talking about how Blair and Nate are dating. It is also talking about how Blairs dad came down for dinner and Blair and her dad went out for dinner. they had a special conversation and he told Blair that he wasnt really liking Nate. Blairs father is gay and it was a big offspring for the community to hear seeing as he use to be so high up and all of a sudden lost all of his money. Blairs dad was kind of embarresing towards Blair because even though she knew he was gay she thought he didnt have to put it out their and talk like he liked men.

In Flanders Field.

In Flanders Field
In Flanders fields the poppies blow
Between the crosses, row on row,
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.

We are the Dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved and were loved, and now we lie,
In Flanders fields.

Take up our quarrel with the foe:
To you from failing hands we throw
The torch; be yours to hold it high.
If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
In Flanders fields.

John McCrae

and the nights go past lonely.
as the familys worry, the soldiers are fighting the countrys.
as they worry and pray for strength. and for survival.

trying to protect the people that live here.
as soldiers go down one by one.
our country is getting stronger (L)

i never want to go through this situation again. it was the scariest thing of my life and i wish i never tried to leave. the soldier was scary and we walked about seven kilometres. he was walking slowly and i did to . i didnt want to have anything against him or even be rude about this. i didnt ask any quesion
