English 2020 - novel studies

 Chapter 3

  1. What kind of person is Kevin in chapter 3?
  2. Ellie says Fi in like an exoticbutterfly-P.33 Do you agree with Ellie, why/why not? yes because like what Ellie said I've never meet or know anyone that haven't tired 2 minutes noodles. but finding that FI said she comes from a family that is into healthy foods, is understandable.
Chapter 4
  1. 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-pg 43. She then comes to the conclusion that ‘Hell was people’ pg43. Is she right? What’s your opinion, on labeling and Hell?
  2. What was especially peculiar about the planes that flew over Hell? ‘Their noise, their speed, their darkness frightened me.’ Pg 38 Why do you think these frightened Ellie?because of the different noises changing within a short term of time leaving him a shock and confused to what's happening

  chapter 9-12

1.Why, in Ellie’s opinion, is Cobbler’s Bay and Wirrawee so important to the invaders?

  • to keep quiet and have more view on the rest of the world


2.Corrie and Ellie reminisce about how innocent they were in high school and even a few days ago. Why were they still innocent then? Why are they no longer innocent

  • I feel like they both think theyŕe not as innocent as they were younger or before high school. because of the bad or naughty things they've done that they never or couldn't do when they were younger.


3.By blowing up Corrie’s house, what does the invading force demonstrate to the teenagers?
  • to take action and do everything they needed to do as fast as they can, so at last, they can leave with everything they ended and without getting harmed
    4,Describe the strategy Home and Ellie use to ensure their safety when riding their bikes into town. What does this show about how they are starting to think?


    • to ride on the outstrike and always have alert on their surrounding, because they are starting to think that this is a new reality and everything that is happening is real and serious

    5.How does Ellie feel as she is waiting in the truck at the Council Depot? Where do her emotions come from?


    • fear. because she love and cared about her friends, she doesn't wanna hurt them or nor kill them


    6.Why is it so terrible that Chris falls asleep while on sentry duty? How does Ellie react? Why do you think she reacts this way? How does she feel about her reaction later?


    • because Chris is putting all their lives at risk just because he's decreasing himself. Ellie begins to kick chris as some ways of punishing him. i think she reacted this way because she was also enchantment. Ellie was also sacred and annoyed because she and put all her effort and done so much for them just to get where they are now. she feels like shes in the wrong and terrified at her self and with all the violent actions she had to go through she feels like she changing into a monster which she does not like





    All teenagers have a specific role to play in their group. Describe the roles each teenager plays?

    • Kevin and corrie are watching over the showground while Robyn and Chris going around town looking for hiders and for useful information 
    •  

    According to what the teenagers hear on Corrie's radio, why would America be best not to get involved in Australia’s struggle?


    Why is Australia being invaded?

    What do Kevin and Robyn argue about? Do you think Robyn’s points are fair?

    “Paradise of Hell” is an oxymoron. What does it mean.
    Kevin’s hatred of the invaders is quite extreme. Why do you think he is so angry?

    Despite the fact that the teenagers are in the midst of a war zone, evading enemy soldiers and planning guerrilla operations, they still find time to harbour romances. Do you think this is realistic?

    Briefly summarise the story of the Hermit from Hell. Do you believe he killed his family?

    Making our own pH indicators. We often think of pH indicators as chemicals  that can only be bought from chemical suppliers In fact, there are natural.  - ppt download




    Aim: To make acid-base indicators using everyday substances.

    Equipment: Red cabbage, tea, beetroot, turmeric, cranberry juice, a beaker, water, tripod, Bunsen burner, gauze mat, 1.0 moI L1.0 moI L-1 HCI 1.0 mol L-1 NaOH. 


    Task One

    For Cabbage and Beetroot 

    Chop the cabbage into small pieces until you have enough to fill 2 cups.

    Place the cabbage in a large beaker and add water to cover the cabbage.

    Boil over a Bunsen burner for at least ten minutes for the colour to leach out of the cabbage.

    Filter out the plant material to obtain a red-purple-bluish coloured liquid. This liquid is at about pH 7. (The exact colour you get depends on the pH of the water.)

    Place in a small beaker and leave to one side.

    Repeat this method for the beetroot.



    For The Tea

    Put 100 ml of water into a beaker and boil.

    Turn off the Bunsen burner and put three tea bags in the beaker.

    Remove the tea bags when the tea is very strong.

    Place in a small beaker and leave to one side.



    For The Cranberry Juice

    Pour into a beaker and leave to one side.



    For the Turmeric 

    Mix 1 teaspoon turmeric in 100 mL cup of alcohol.
