Chapter Four Questions
1. Do you think the way they handled the snake incident was appropriate? What could they have done differently?
I liked how they handled it because they did not harm the snake.
2. Ellie claims that ‘Hell’ is only a label and that people label things all the time, often ignoring or overlooking certain labelled places or things. She then comes to the conclusion that ‘Hell was people’. Is she right? What’s your opinion, on labelling and Hell?
I think that she was right because she couldn't understand how wild could be hell and that people would have to be the ones to make it hell.
3. What was especially peculiar about the planes that flew over Hell? ‘Their ------, their ------, their----- frightened me.’ Do these characteristics have any significance?
Their noise Their speed Their darkness Yes
4. Corrie and Kevin are the only couples in the group, but the trip was bound to bring friends closer. So why does Homer’s interest in Fi seem so odd to Ellie?
Homer's interest in Fi caught Ellie in surprise because to them Homer seemed like an emotionless guy and is known to not have any feelings for any girls but Fi might be the one.
5. Fi brushes off the planes coming back from Commemoration Day. Why do you think the planes were flying over Wirrawee? Robyn claims there were dozens and dozens of planes flying over them. What is Lee’s response? Is his suggestion reasonable?
Lee thought that it was probably WWlll Lee's suggestion is reasonable because they are cut off from the world and have completely no idea what's going on.

Spiritual well-being
Spiritual well-being
- What did you think spiritual wellbeing was before you started this unit?
I didn't really know or understand what spiritual well-being was, to be honest, every time I
heard the word spiritual I'd all just think of ghosts.

Tomorrow when the war began
30.07.18
Tomorrow when the war began
1. Why does Robyn think they are the only people ever to have gone into Hell? He is questioning why anyone would bother to come down here, and no-one they know has come to this place.
2. Why do you think the valley is called Hell? Maybe because there's like rumours about a man named Hermit who murdered his family and it's a really dangerous place to be.
3. Why must the teenagers seem like visitors from hell to the wild things living in the clearing? How is this ironic? They made a lot of noise which is really common for the wild livings to hear.
4. What picture of Kevin do we get in this chapter?
Kevin is caring and sensitive. Kevin also had a bad habit of breaking branches off trees instead of walking a few extra metres to pick up dead wood.
5. What does Ellie liken Fi to? Do you think this is a fair assessment of her character? Use examples from the text to support your thinking. When Ellie said he was like an exotic butterfly I think it was fair of her to say because she's basically saying like where has he been and stuff and how new he is to things. Almost like he just comes out of nowhere and doesn't really know of such things.
6. At times Ellie switches her narration from retelling the story to commenting about her life in the present - why do you think the author has chosen to write in this style?
To help remind us like this is in the past aswell.

Music Term 3
25.07.18
The Snowman and the Snowdog
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Rbiun3G0-Y
Did you still understand the story without the dialogue?
I understood it because the way the music was used helped express the mood and I was able to understand how each character felt.
How did the music add to telling the story?
The music was really helpful. When the music sped up you were able to tell that something exciting was happening. When the music was going at a slow pace and the chords were held longer I knew that this was a sad moment in the scene.
Write about a scene that you found particularly interesting?
I really enjoyed the flying scene because watching it made me feel happy and there's a lot of freedom and happiness in the scene and the music especially made it seem more amazing and like a really beautiful moment.

Digital Visual Collage

So today I had to create a collage based on things that have happened this term for me. I included my highlights of the term, a low point, and people who helped me through it, and also something I have learnt this term. I chose specific pictures that remind me of memories that happened this term.
