Big Mama Character Analysis

1. Why did you choose this character?
There are many bits  of information in the book that tells lots of information about he and it will be easy to describe her in the project. He emotions, actions, and dialogues will help me understand Big Mama easier.

2. Is the character static or dynamic? What makes you think so?
Big Mama is static because she always say the same thing over and over again and her feelings are always the same like caring and worrying which makes her static for sure.

3. Is the character round or flat? What makes you think so?
Big Mama is round because throughout the play she expresses her feelings so that every reader knows all of her traits to make us understand her way better which is a round character.

4. What type of person is the character?
she is quite a smart and a thinking character while she cares for the family so that it doesn't fall apart. Her emotions are pretty awful and she links her emotions to her care-ness. She like Brick more over Gooper. She is very extreme so she is an extrovert.

5. What parts of the story makes you feel this way about the character?
The part that I think that made me feel this way is when Big Mama first found out that Big Daddy got cancer. She looks really worried and cared after she heard it which made her think that the family is going to break apart when Big Daddy dies.

6.  How is the character's society the same and different from yours?
This character's society is very different form me because they live in a stressful society where there is fighting over money and many other other family problems. Big Mama stresses to much and cares really much for the family, so there is a little similarity in caring for the family.

7. How does the character view his/ her own world?
Big Mama views the world in a really positive way where she thinks that Brick did nothing wrong and thinks he is innocent. In the family point of view she thinks its negative because her feelings looks pretty worried and concerned that night affect her positive view on Brick.

8. Is this view realistic? Yes or No and Why?
I think that the view is realistic because she really have no way to fix it and she really looks stressed out in a really negative way stressing about her family problems. If it's not realistic Big Mama will be laughing and enjoying which she did not do.

9. Would a person behave in real life like the character does in the story? Explain in detail.
I think that there are families that struggle like Big Mama in family problems. There is for sure one person in the family who don't want to break the family apart just like Big Mama who wants the family to be normal with no fights and corruption.

iPhone 5 Update

Many articles are rooming around the internet world about Apple's new iPhone 5 which will be released in this year for sure. The iPhone 5 will be a bigger change the iPhone world because it will have many new functions that will benefit the users for sure. There are also a list if rumors which the iPhone 5 will have such as, the dock plug, 4.6 inches screen (very expensive), and many more. There are also many new surprising functions that Apple will add in like the iPhone 4s siri which no one have ever thought about. There are also a big list of functions that users want to have and Apple might be able to add in based on the users recommendations. The most famous function user recommend is the bigger screen, micro SD memory card instead of phone memory, and for gamers is the flash player.

Very good news out there again, to iPhone lovers because it will be a new generation of phones that would be really function able to our daily lives. One thing I recommend Apple to add in this new iPhone is the flash player, and the micro SD memory card because it will allow you to extend your memory instead if buying the 32 GB iPhone which will cost lots of money. Having flash would be able to let you play many flash games on the internet that will make many people enjoy for sure. The credit card function and easy pay function is also a good function that might be included in the iPhone 5. Many people are waiting for this Phone and I think it will be another big change in the society for sure.

U15 Soccer Tournament

Some fresh news here. I just wanted to say that we had a soccer tournament on Wednesday 21. There is a total of 9 teams that attended which is a pretty high number. In the morning we had to leave at 8:15 so we could make it on time there. The tournament would be a full day event. Our school draw our first game against St. Andrews, which I think that they play very unfriendly and selfish. Our second game was way better were we won KIS 1:0. Our third game was pretty harsh because he took another drew against BCIS 2:2. Our last game was the most awesome game on that day because it was against Charter which we needed to score at least 4 goals to concede to the finals. Our history was made when we beat them 8:0.

In this paragraph I would be talking about the final game against SIS. Me myself was pretty scared and obsessed because it was the final game and anything can happen. We started off losing a goal, about 5 minutes later we made the tie. Then it was half time. We had our drinks and hydrated ourselves as much as possible. After the game the results that came out was shocking because we lost 2-1 which made many off us really sad and compressed. We came back home with only our 2nd place certificate not the trophy. At least we tried out best to play and we enjoyed the day.

The Space Race

Reading the title would probably make you think of the cold war. Yes, we are studying the cold war in Social Studies and it's a really interesting unit to learn. Including in the cold war winning between the Soviet Union and the Americans are very important including the race for the space missions. So what we did in Social Studies was a very important event that happened in 1969 which is when America, first send the first humans to the moon. Our task was to debate if it was true or not. I was on the fake side, which we research on the internet for some arguments. We had many major ones and minor ones which an example is that there is only one source of light on the moon but there was two on a picture. There were no stars on most of the pictures. The debate went pretty awesome I think that we won.

Studying about space is really interesting to me because it's quite a fun and important event that happened and there many secrets to uncover also. I think that the space is huge which means that there will also be another life form living somewhere in another planet. Going to the moon is like the first step into the space of the human history. Later on there will be more landings and discoveries for sure. The cold war was like a competition for Americans and the Soviets because both of them wants to always be the number one nations, so an event to travel into space is also like a war.

 

Weekly ICT

Another awesome week has past by and we had so much fun in our ICT class. We were on our biggest and the most interesting topic sketch up. Now after Mr. Pete our superstar have thought us a lesson last week to introduce us to it, now he made us make our own restaurant sketch. Mr. Pete was absent on Friday which means that we need to do everything by ourselves. I started off doing a article review and then the challenge came. I needed to make our design the first part of my own building. I had a pretty awesome start because my building looks awesome thanks to Mr. Pete the superstar.

ICT is really fun because we get to learn new stuff every week that is so interesting to learn because of Mr. Pete's teaching skills. I was pretty happy getting to design our own restaurant. I also tried my best to used all the techniques that Mr. Pete thought us as much as possible. I was pretty happy to have a teacher like Mr. Pete  teaching us ICT. Another reason I find sketch up interesting is that we get to do imagine our creativity to put on our sketch up and design our very own restaurant. Techniques are really required to sketch up because we need to know how to make each side equal in length, which is very important to make our building look good. Below is the sketch I made on Friday which I tried my best to do.

Windows 8 Update

A very big world shocking rumor is going to come out very soon. Windows 8 will be another technology that will be highly accepted by the world like the apple products. Windows 8 now has been developing over the past few years and there are many bug fixing system that is happening for its release this year. Some problems it has is the mouse and keyboard function which Microsoft wants to cancel out. Windows 8 will have the comp-ability to have touch screen. That's why they wanted to add the mouse and keyboard system because many people would be complaining about the touch screen function which some people don't really like about. I think that having a multiple input system is pretty good because it allows you to access things faster and easier. Google Chrome is also now compatible with windows 8. Windows 8 will also have apps for you to play on also which requires an account.

Another new good news that would have a big impact on the world. Many people in this world are also waiting for the release of windows 8 like the IPad 3 which just release. There would be 10 times more people waiting for the windows 8 than waiting for the Ipad 3. Microsoft had not release something in quite a while but their big campaign is Windows 8 which would be another huge conflict in 2012 that is going to happen very soon. Windows 8 is like the next change in the history of the world that would change the world into a new age. One thing I don't like about this is that, we need to change all our computers again and waste a lot of money to but the new expensive system.

Language Tool?

Have you ever had communication problems with other people from other countries? Good news is here because now you will be able to communicate in other languages with other peoples. For example, you have a very old friend living in Russia but he forgot how to speak English, so it's very hard for you to communicate with him. Now there is a new software that has been develop which allows you to talk into a mic and this software would convert your voice into the language you wanted. This software is now tested by language speakers and being developed better, so that your voice won't be changed that might lead to corruption and prank calling. This software will have a total of 26 different languages including the hardest language Chinese. 

Very good news again for the communication system all around the world because you would now be able to communicate with the people all around the world. This program would linked every people all around the world even more because every person in each country will have their very own voice translator. This technology would also help in the movie industry because it won't waste peoples time translating the movie into your countries language. This would change the movies language in seconds without using any people to make the voice casting for each character. This technology would really have a big impact on the world because it will  make people even more lazy to learn other different language, which will have a good benefit and a bad benefit in many ways.

Band Audition

This week we had so much stress because we had so many events happening at the same time. One of it is the band audition where we needed to perform one song in front of many important people in this school to judge who is going to attend the battle of the bands the next two month. Our band was pretty unprepared because we haven't got many things together that well. The singing the playing and many stuff which we needed more time to prepare off. On the audition day we were pretty worried which made us think that we night be embarrassed in front of many people. But on that day we never gave up and we tried to do or best which we were not embarrassed and we played pretty good.

The results that came out were pretty sad but we just need to accept it because we had less time to prepare and we did pretty well. Out of 3 bands we came second which was pretty shocking to us because we thought that we would be last because of our bad organization. The results that came out was also pretty shocking in another way as well because that band we thought that played the best came last place which really made us think that is there anything wrong with the judging or not. We played our best and tried our best so it made many of us happy and enjoyable to play.    

Social Studies Test

This week in Social Studies we have our biggest challenge ever because we has a full big test about World War II. After Mr. Randy pass out the papers of the test to me a was pretty shocked because it looked very easy to me. The first section of the test was classifying pictures of famous people. In this section I thought it was pretty easy because the pictures was quite straight forward and easy to name. The second section was the short answer section which was again easy, but of course I studied very hard I find it really easy to me and it was really simple one word answers. The third section was the most challenging because it was the long critical thinking section that needs lots of writing. The topics were pretty easy and straight to complete. The final part of the test was the bonus section which the question was, Will there be any changes in the World if Germany and Japan took over.

The next day in Social Studies we did another interesting topic which is the cold war. This war might be the most dangerous war in history if it happened. Its about the two super powers America, and the Soviet Union. This war was just about atomic bombs and the H- bomb or the dangerous Hydrogen Bomb, that is 10 times stronger than the atomic bomb. If this war had happened the whole world would probably be destroyed, and it would wipe out the whole entire human race. This war was really dangerous because if one side attacked the other side it will change the world into a lifeless place and nobody will survive. This is also another interesting part in history because it depends on the entire human race.


Weekly ICT

This week in ICT we did , something really different because it was the world education games week. On Monday we did nothing much we just wrote our weekly Monday article review. Check the post below for my article review about Samsung Galaxy beam. On Wednesday Mr. Pete our super star teacher let us finish our world math day score which was a pretty good class because many people were able to finish their 50 matches to make our school in the top 50s in World Maths Day. Our school did pretty well this year because of Mr. Pete giving his class time to finish our World Maths Day target which I find really thankful of Mr. Pete. On Friday Mr. Pete also thought us ICT that is related to math by using sketch up.

In this paragraph I will be talking about the skills he thought us about on sketch up. Mr. Pete our super star always told us to be accurate by using the tape measuring tool to make the sides always equal. He also thought us the technique called inferring which is using the push pull tool to make our walls to be the equal size of the other walls. Mr. Pete is very good at connecting the class with other subjects which will be really helpful for us in the other classes in the future. His class is the class that I will never ever will forget because he makes it really fun and interesting to learn. This sketch up teaching might turn some of the students in his class to become engineers and construct actual buildings and earn money as a job. Mr. Pete of course is an inspire that we should respect.

Samsung Galaxy Beam

Have you ever dreamed of having a phone that will allow you to present your pictures, videos, and text. Good news is here because now Samsung have invented a phone with a built in Projector which is pretty cool because it allows you do show stuff on a flat surface which will make the screen bigger and cooler. The specs of the phone are also quite awesome because it has a dual core processor, 6GB Ram, but a very less powered camera. The other features of this phone are still normal like a Samsung Galaxy because it keeps it simple design, screen size, still an android that functions pretty normal. Only the projector is the cool new feature that makes this phone really different.

A very new weird news for the smart phone market because I have never heard, or think of a phone that has a projector that is built on to the phone. This technology will allow people to teach better in a community where there are no computers for example in Africa where somebody who has this phone could go teach using the projector. This phone would be a new useful technology for the education industry because teacher will be able to present their stuff on a white board which is pretty cool because in Thailand there are many schools that don't have computers so the Thai government could give out these phones to the teachers. Another big problem that might happen with this phone maybe the battery might be finishing quickly or it might heat or burn up some parts of the phone so its maybe not that safe yet.
