1984 early chapters

I have found the first few chapters of 1984 a really good opening to the book and has made me get into the book immediately. It immediately introduces the ‘Big Brother’ and how they are never allowed to do anything without being watched and also he introduces the character of Winston ( the main character). We see straight away that nobody likes him and he is a bit of a loner. From these first few chapters we can tell that live was very grim back then from the cold day and the smell of boiled cabbage when he walks into the flats. His country are also at war so there are also bombs dropping on them and that will lower morale in the country. Also the fact that the government is lying to the people about how the war is going to make people happier and less frightened. Overall I think this is a good start to the book and is slowly developing.

Racist chants

Benfica fans hurl racist monkey chants toward the porto striker Hulk on numerous occasions during the match caught on camera

Essay and Presentation on Racism in football

I chose to do my essay on Racism in football and how we could stop it. I chose to do this topic because I am generally interested in this topic and therefore I thought that I could express my strong opinions. In my powerpoint presentation I focused on Sepp Blatter and how awful he has been and also on the racist fans and what we should do to them. This is something I feel very strongly about as I really do not like fans who think people are different just because of the colour of there skin. I chose the example of some fans doing racist monkey chants to Hulk when he was playing for Porto.

capsule of time

I really liked this short story because of the mysteries it leaves you with and forces you to think about what is going to happen and what is happening. I also really like the form it is done in and how he has had it come out at different times. This creates the effect of having a cliffhanger ending on each end of the scene and makes you want to read on. I also like the way the author also brings in a bit of science into the story but keeps it so that it doesn’t become overwhelmed with scientific knowledge. It is also very thrilling and a very shocking twist to the story.
