Northern Ireland - The roots of the troubles + "Guns"

Hey,

 

today we first started the class with the study of a chronology about Ireland and we tried to determine why there were territorial and religious problems in Ireland. Here is what we said about this chronology:

"to be written by Cindy"

 

Then we moved on with the study of a new text pp. 164-165 in your books. We first analysed the picture associated with the text. Here is what we said about it:

 

"to be written by Cindy"

 

Finally, we started commenting on the text and we drew two columns with characteristics about Kevin and Brian, the two main character, more precisely about their behaviours and attitudes. 

 

HW: for next time, you need to finish picking up these prhases and prepare a comment on the progression of their attitudes (present the text, analyse and comment on their moods, ...) = 2-minute presentation.

<br /> Hello ! =)<br /> This is my presentation for the song and the video of Muse.<br /> <br /> "The group which I'm going to present you is Muse. It’s an alternative and progressif rock band British, which appeared in 1994, and that is still of current events now days. Muse is a trio,<br /> consisted of Matthew Bellamy, the singer and guitarist, Christopher Wolstenholme at the bass and Dominic Howard to the battery. It’s the known group all over the world, and that was named better<br /> group of the world during "Q Awards".<br /> The clip which you go to see represents the group in an urban city, where is toys. In this world, the small characters are wax dolls not articulated. So, we notice that the city burns and meets in<br /> a total anarchy. Towards the end of the clip, we see appearing huge bears in cuddly toys which destroy this city like Godzilla, destroying everything on their passage. With watching to the words,<br /> we can understand that this anarchy refuses to be controlled by the society, among which this one controls the spirits of people in them "by giving drugs" by all that it shows. At the end of every<br /> tune, the singer sings " We will be victorious ". People can thus be them the same thanks to this revolution against the society.<br /> Also, I find that this song should be the “Song of Moment”, of leave its rhythm and its very cheerful air, and furthermore, by the rather understandable words and easy to memorize."<br /> <br /> <br /> I hope that I didn't make too many mistakes, and which my work is good. =)<br /> <br /> Take care too ! Bye Bye! =)<br /> <br /> <br />
