Song - What I've Done

 Today  , 10th of March 2011 in class we had done a presentation on the song of our group's choice. My group members presented on the song by Linkin Park which is ' What I've Done". This song depicts the main issue which is the destruction that's happening in the world right now. From the video clip of this song it can be seen that famine and poverty is getting rampant in the poor countries like Africa which leads to helath problems among the children.  Besides , the natural disaster is also seen in the song videoclip. The effects of global warming has lead to the melting of the ice in the North Pole. Besides that, other issues such as pollution and human rights' are also being stressed in this song. Basicly, this song is reminding us of what we have done and the effects of our mistakes which had lead to the destruction of life.

Similarities between Hitler's speech and Churchill's speech.

One of the similarities that can be seen in both the speeches is the use of language. Both the speeches uses the pronoun I and We, to persuade their listeners. The use of " I " shows the authority that the speaker is trying to possess in order to deal with the people of his country. The use of " we" in the speech also shows the unity that both the speakers are trying to create with the people of the nation and to fight for their rights.
       Besides that, the speech acts used by both the speakers also influenced the people to hear their speeches. For example, the voice projection of the speakers was loud and could be heard clearly. They had confidence in themselves when they were saying their speeches. Their persuasion technique was good. Hitler and Churchill tried to show their people that they tried to make peace with their enemies, but the enemies refused them.  Another thing is that both the speakers condemn their opponents but they do it in a manipulative way.

Animal Farm

The animated movie, Animal Farm is an interesting movie to me because of the storyline and the characters in the story. The story is about how a group of animals come up with a plan to provide  themselves with the rights they deserve. Since i am taking the B. Ed TESL course, i have to be aware of the issue that i have to face in school later if ever the students face any  problems. I as a teacher, have to be fair and equal to all my students so that they will be able to be a good and responsible citizens. During my school days, there were some of my teachers who were with good leadership qualities and they taught and guided us through the challenges that we were facing in schools. After watching this movie, i have learnt that a leader has the power to either break or bring together a community. A leader needs to have a good leadership qualities in order to support his community and people.
