The Woman in Black summary Pg 14-25 (Rayyan)

ahmedrayyanra_mts1 — 2023-06-16 06:53:45 UTC

So far we know Arthur and his step-kids. His step-kids are really into dark and evil stuff and talk about them during the day before Christmas. Arthur has something he had in the past but we couldn't know what happened to his previous family. We also know his past when he was 23 years old and the dangerous fog. He foreshadowed the evil things that will happen during that time with his railway job. He now foreshadows the future of the darkness with his new step-kids. The techniques I saw were foreshadowing, repetition, simile, dark adjectives such as evil and the noun fog. The flashbacks also show his past and the darkness he experiences which might be why he is not going to be talking about horror stuff with his step-kids. He is also giving a lot of teasers and tension to rise which causes us to read through the book to know what exactly happened.

Woman in black (Seb)

sebastianadec_mts1 — 2023-06-16 06:57:11 UTC

In the pages we read we were introduced to Arthurs step-family on Christmas Eve. His step-children were telling each other ghost stories and it was considered a tradition. Although, Arthur found this uncomfortable and tried to hide his emotions. Then his kids asks him to share a ghost story. This was the final straw and he lied about having no ghost stories, then he stormed out the house to calm himself down. Once he composes himself, he thinks of a way to free himself from the horrible memory that has been a burden to him. He then talks about this event that has changed him. It takes place when he was 23 years old when there was a horrible deadly fog. These events are probably foreshadowing the future events in this story.

The combination of poor weather and the smoke from coal fires created the “London Particular.” Thick shrouds of black fog could envelop London for days and weeks. The fogs were dangerous for Londoners and hundreds died of asthma and other breathing difficulties caused by the condition. It is a “filthy, evil-smelling fog”, the pools are sulphurous yellow and in the other side they become red-eyed and demonic, which are unhealthy. The atmosphere of fog and dankness, he can smell the cold, damp leather of the upholstery and the describable stench of the fog seeping in around the window

Language techniques:
There’s repetition, similes and scary adjectives such as “demonic”, and “evil” which represent horror.

Niti: Someone Might Be Watching

nitin_mts — 2023-09-22 07:51:45 UTC

The article talks about dystopian fiction, where the author amplifies societal issues into a horrific universe. This is the opposite of a utopia, which is a perfect society. The author compares a dystopia with a funhouse mirror, which amplifies flaws so that you notice them. After discussing the etymology of the word, thr author then states that hopes of a utopia were high in the post-industrial 20th century, but was never achieved despite several technological advances. The author then discusses the example of 1984 (by George Orwell), which showed the dangers of totalitarianism and industrialism, such as surveillance and little personal freedom. The author finishes by referencing dress code in The Handmaid’s Tale, and talks about how dystopian authors often reflect the fact stifling tiny choices like outfits or toothpaste can stifle wider situations such as family structure.

2) A- Harrison’s removal of his handicaps inspires people to rebel against the government.

The Bergeron family is the focus of the story. George Bergeron has a device to make his thoughts simpler if they get too complex. His wife, Hazel, is pretty average but doesn't have any handicaps. Their son, Harrison, is exceptionally smart and strong, so the government has locked him away.

One day, Harrison escapes and storms a TV studio. He removes his handicaps, calls himself Emperor, and chooses a ballerina as his Empress. They dance in an extraordinary way, defying the government's rules.

These methods include putting a device on George, who is described as having above average intelligence, and masks on ballerinas who are considered more beautiful than others.

He escapes jail and crashes the dance party, which was interuppted by a news announcment describing him as atheletic and a genius. When we see him at the dance party, he is wearing devices and gear, such as huge headphones to prevent him from thinking too hard, similar to those George has, and huge glasses to make him half blind and give him intense headaches, among other gear. He rips them all apart in an act of government opposition and nominates himself as emperor. He then selects an empress and for a few minutes Harrison and his new empress (who's handicap and gear he's also ripped off) dance, which represents their freedom. The chief enforcer of the equality and lack of individuality law enters the dance recital and shots Harrison and the ballerina dead.

This article talks about the genre of dystopian fiction, which shows a world where everything's messed up. The author talks about how dystopian fiction is like a funhouse mirror, as it shows the worst sides of someone and then makes them realise that they are flawed. Dystopian fiction shows us what could happen while we strive for perfection. Common themes of dystopian novels are surveillance (which is something we tend to worry about), misinformation, the dangers of genetic modification and lack of individuality. The text warns us not to strive too hard for "perfection" in our world as it may lead to a world similar to that shown in dystopian novels.

Harrison Bergeron is a dystopian story set in 2081 where everyone has to be equal in every way including natural things like strength, beauty or intelligence. The government equalizes people by applying rules like having a device that produces sounds that stop thinking too much, disabling people using handicaps and hiding extra pretty faces under hideous masks. A boy called Harrison - well known for his several attempts to vanquish the government and free everyone from all the unjustness - escapes jail, goes live one tv to challenge the government by taking off all devices used to equalize him and force another group of people to do the same. He doesn't succeed though as he is soon killed by the handicapper general, Diana Moon Glampers, as a warning to anyone who tries to challenge the government and disobeys law. This story is showing us the importance of individual uniqueness and how too much equality can sometimes be a bad thing.

Koro Apirana and the other elders care about the whales, and want to save them, but their sexist attitudes prevent them from truly doing what’s best for the whales. This shows the contrast between Koro’s self-proclaimed “connection” with nature, and Kahu’s true ability to communication with the whales, which can truly save them.

Koro cares about the whale due to it concerning the Māori culture, Kahu communicating with the whales while Koro notices the sign language that the whale tells them. Kahu talking to the whale shows Koro what she truly is capable of. What I’m trying to say is, the relationship between the humans and the nature that Ihimaera is trying to demonstrate supposed to be friendly, calming, huge communication, etc.

The humans were involved with nature through cooperation but slowly strayed away from nature as their culture slowly died out when they began hunting whales. The book shows the whales are the Maori’s connection to nature and further demonstrates the weakening of their bond by the whales beaching.

This is shown in the quote, “But the ancient whale is both natural and supernatural. It represents the link to nature that the Māori have lost.”, this further the solidifies the fact that the Māori and humans as a whole have lost their connection with nature and must reconnect with it.

Imimaera demonstrates the relationship between humans and nature by presenting the value of whales in Maori culture, Imimaera explores this relationship further by showcasing the overtaking value of Maori culture with Male lineage which disallows the people to help the beached whales for the sake of keeping up the tradition of Male lineage.

Ihimaera is trying to demonstrate that in Maori culture, the relationship between humans and nature is sacred, and in parallel and synchronized. One cannot exist without the other. This is evident in the last paragraph,

“If the men can’t return the whale to the ocean, it will die - and so will their Māori culture.”

This directly explains the parallel between nature (the whales) and humans, demonstrating the importance of the mutually respectful and sacred relationship with whales in Māori culture.

Koro Apirana calls a meeting with all the males of the tribe, in this meeting Koro Apirana refuses to let any women participate, due to his sexist behavior. But because of the behavior they are not able to reach their full potential by helping the whales and doing what’s best for them. This symbolizes that nature is a sign for humans as they can communicate with whales, making their relationship stronger because, they are an important part in the legend of Maori culture

Huda 9B Chapter 16 Summary

Witi Ihimaera expresses Humans And Nature are protective over eachother. In the following quote “streaks of blue lightning rise up from the depths. It’s a whale but Koro Apirana cries out because it’s a special whale” This symbolizes that Maori People express their happiness for the whales. Ihimaera writes about how the parallel between human and nature is very alike in certain ways like kindness and importance of family.

Witi Ihimaera demonstrates the relationship between humans and nature by showing us how they both help and depend on each other. we can see this in the quote, this is a sign to us," when nature starts giving signs to people foreshadowing the dreadful upcoming events, such as the beaching of the ancient whale whose life later decides the fate of the Maori people. this symbolizes oneness and unity between humans and nature and the importance of it.
