Simon Schama, (A historian) would like this movie because he is specialising in Dutch history, Jewish history, and French history.

What genre does this text belong to?

Comedy-drama, war, dark-comedy

Since there theme was kinda like a kid with a twisted world.

I think they choose Hitler because he is an iconic evil person and he went around killing almost every jew that his way.

Whose views are excluded or privileged in the text?

Most of the Jewish country/districts were privileged in this film

I think they should have added Hitler's brothers and sisters in the film

There is no one real in this, they are just played of the real war and people from the past

How else could the text have been written?

I'm not sure they could consider a part two of Jojo rabbit growing up and how he has a problem and how defeats that problem and how he dies etc..

English Film Aspects

Practice writing for Sexxxy paragraphs

For English, we had a practice of writing a sexxxy paragraph  

He was given a trailer of a film to watch and then write about the aspects of the film 

in a sexxxy formate 

S- statement of film 

E- Evidence from the film 

X- Explanation of the effects in relation

X-  Explanation of directors purpose 

X- Explanation of how aspects are combined

Y- Your link

The film Limitless

For instance, Neil Burger, the director of limitless used a medium close up and medium shot during all the times that the main actor has been interacting with other characters in the film.

This helped me understand what type of other character was the main character discussing. So the views can tell if the person he's discussing with is dogy or not.

This was done to help the views inform what type of another character he is interacting with. 

This worked well with the blur in the medium close up focusing on the person who’s talking and not getting distracted by what's happening in  the background 

This aspect can be compared to the film The BFG where the BFG is talking to the girl when the BFG first kidnaps the girl and they get into an argument.

The short Film Kerosene Creek NZ 

 For example, the main director of this shot film Michael Bennett

Used a medium shot for the death of the little boy in the short film Kerosene Creek NZ 

This makes the audience feel sad because it shows that the people around the coffin is all very deeply sad or is crying. 

And the background has a blur to make it focus on the main people surrounding the boy's coffin.

The purpose of this is to focus on the sad emotions that the characters were feeling at the time of the event.

Combined with the blur effect, it forces you to look in the direction where there is no blur and its just clear.

This reminds me of the show/film Mr bean because it has the same aspects and effect and it makes you focus on a lot of things.

The treaty of whaitangi

Article 1
The Maori gave up complete sovereignty to Britain.
The meant Maori came under complete control of the British government and laws.
This is going to cause gained full control of the British government and laws.




Article 2
Maori are guaranteed the 'Possession of their lands, estates, forests, fisheries and other properties
And the British crown has the pre-emptive right
this will cause conflict because of the British would buy most of the Maori land.


Article 3
Maori have the same rights as British subjects.
this causes conflict because the British wanted the Maori to be under the British

Social studeis

In social we have been doing essay writing for our reports and I've started late because I just came back from a great holiday but here what I produced in the remaining time I had to finish

Introduction 

In 1830 there were 100 to 120,000 thousand Māori and 2000  Europeans living in New Zealand. The behaviour of the Whalers, the Missionaries’ desire to help protect Māori rights and the Musket Wars were reasons that a treaty was needed. The Declaration of Independence was another contributing factor to the need for a treaty.

Lawless Behaviour

One reason that a treaty was needed was the lawless behaviour of some of the British Settlers like whalers. One of the reasons they needed a treaty was the issue of being drunk, causing lots of fights, and a lot of prostitutes and diseases. All of this was giving New Zealand a really bad name and that’s why a treaty was needed

Maori Right & The Missionaries 

Another reason that a treaty was needed was to protect Māori rights. One group that felt strongly about this was the missionaries. The missionaries weren’t bad people. This is important because the missionaries could easily turned on the Maori and killed heaps of Maori people. The Missionaries were good people overall.

Musket wars 

Another reason that a treaty was needed was the Musket Wars. In this paragraph, I am trying to prove that musket trading was a bad idea. This was a very idea because 20,000 Maori’s were killed and they would trade large quantities of food and flax. So they would lose more than gain. This overall was a very bad idea.

Paragraph Four (The Slam Dunk)

The final reason that a treaty was needed was the existence of the Declaration of Independence. 

One of the reasons why the declaration of independence signed is to have protection by the British because so many other countries like France, Australia would come over to New Zealand and mess with New Zealand’s Property. And New Zealand was only to trade with the British and no other countries.  And another reason was to allow British residence to live all over New Zeeland, North and south island.

Conclusion (Robust Conclusion)

In conclusion, a treaty was needed to stop all these types of conflicts and problems and to follow these rules and have huge problems. Overall we needed treaties to stop all these little or big problems.

Otherwise, we would have had a huge problem in our country in the future.
