whats Law of Sine for

 Hello, Beautiful Souls 

 Today our class is learning about the Law of Sines, Law of sines is about finding the angle or the side of a Triangle. And that's about it I'm not gonna explain to you how to use It because I'm terrible at teaching Maths but here is a Maths Link Law of Sine 

Not Finished

   In the Film ‘The Silver Linings Playbook’, Directed by David O. Russell there are many principal moments that develop the movie, however, I found one scene to be particularly important. At the beginning of the film Director, O. Russell used Handle Held Shot, where we are introduced to the main character named Pat Solitano talking about how he loves Sundays. At this moment Director O. Russell uses the aspects of lighting and close-up techniques which are paired effectively in the opening scene. Making the Viewers' perspective on Pat Unstable, Intense, and fast. Director O. Russell effectively made the viewers feel anxious and uneasy about what to come next by adding these aspects along with the editing effectively. In addition, we see how effective the Director uses Lighting when we see Pat, in the beginning, talking to himself next to the window, in this moment Director uses a close-up shot along with the aspect of lighting to catch Pat's facial expression, his facial expression alone can make the viewers feel that he is bossy and think that he is focused on himself and regarding when he said “yeah ill be there in a minute okay? I’ll be there in a minute,” is to intimidate the viewers that he has anger issues. But at this moment the viewers don’t know much about Pat yet. The main purpose of this scene is to further reveal that Pat’s in his own Bedroom, Alone, and in a Mental Hospital and to illustrate to the viewers that Pat is the main character in the movie. 

Label a Triangle

How to know which side Angle is A - B - C and which side to put a - b - c 

the uppercase letters ABC is the Angles of a Cosine Rule and the lower case abc are its sides 

This is a Cosine Triangle 

 

A right triangle is a special case of the general triangle with one of its angles equal to 90 degrees. A 90-degree angle is called a right angle and that is where the right triangle gets its name.

  

to know the side of this Triangle 

You put where the opposite of the angle A - B - C is to know its side which is lowercase a - b - c 

The Red-letter A - B - C are the Angles of a Cosine Rule 

The Blue arrows pointing from its opposite uppercase letter are its Sides

The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time - Ace

 The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time by Mark Haddon

The ending At the end of the novel, Christopher says:

“And I know I can do this because I went to London on my own and because I solved the mystery of Who Killed Wellington? and I found my mother and I was brave and I wrote a book and that means I can do anything.”

Mark Haddon in an interview said:

“How readers react to Christopher’s last words, ‘I can do anything’ depends on them. Is it self-deceit? Is he going to become a university maths professor, or is he going to spend the rest of his life in social care?”

• What were your thoughts after reading the ending? What do you think will happen to Christopher?

I think Christophe would likely be a successful person, and I think that there's nothing wrong with Christopher's last words in the book, but either way the words "I can do anything" are always arguable but what Christopher did to say that considering he's not just an average person meaning like when he didn't expect to be able to fix his problems all by himself.

Is it a funny book?

Right at the beginning of the novel Christopher tells the reader ‘This will not be a funny book’ and yet there were probably lots of places that made you laugh. 

• What was your favorite funny moment from the novel?

I like the beginning of the book because it was more thrilling than in the middle of the book because the middle part was pretty much Christopher explaining his stuff, I like the part where Christopher was investigating the Dog Incident and his father yelling at him. It is a funny book in the middle part and unto the end because of Christopher's Humor and how his brain works.

Is it a sad book?

• Did you find the novel sad? 

In an interview, Mark Haddon said:

“People have said to me that it’s a desperately sad book and they wept most of the way through it. Other people say it’s charming and they kept laughing all the time. People say it has a sad ending; people say it has a happy ending. Because Christopher doesn’t force the reader to think one thing or another, I get many different reactions.

• What do you think Mark Haddon is saying about why there are so many different reactions to the book? What was your response to the book?

People have a different approach to reactions or opinions on a person that has a brain that doesn't work like ours, Christopher's brain was like a lawyer's one where his pretty argumentative about what's best for him and for the people around him, so when someone argues to your desitions because he found a better way of putting or doing it the person his arguing with would react either he'll go with Christopher's argument or not and it pretty much what kind of person Christopher was arguing to. 

How Christopher's mother reacted differently than his father reacted to him when he was being an argumentive or philosopher kind of person. 

A book for adults, children or both? 

The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time is what is known in the publishing industry as a ‘crossover book’. This means that the publishers decided it would appeal to both children and adults – in this case to teenagers and adults. The book was produced in two different editions, with different covers, one of which was marketed for teenagers and one for adults. (The Harry Potter books were also marketed in this way, as was Philip Pullman’s Northern Lights trilogy.)  

• In what ways do you think the book appeals to teenagers? 

• In what ways do you think the book appeals to adults?

• Some people have said that the book is not very suitable for teenagers because it contains a lot of swearing and because it deals with depressing subject matter. Do you agree? Why?

I think teenager's appeal to the book would be the same as the 19 - 25 aged adults, but the middle adults obviously have different appeals because they're like 40 

I don't think it deals with the depressing subject matter and I think its ok for teenagers to read this book because it's an entertaining and content book which is what teenagers seek these days, and a lot of teenagers do swear a lot so I wouldn't think they'll feel uncomfortable reading it.

A first-person narrator – advantages and disadvantages 

Some of the advantages of writing from the first-person point of view are: the reader feels more sympathy with the character who is telling the story, and a first-person narrator can make the story seem more realistic. 

The main disadvantages of writing in the first person are: the narrator can only tell the reader about what he or she is aware of or has experienced, and the reader really only gets to know the narrator.

• Why do you think Mark Haddon chose to write this novel from a first-person point of view? 

• How has he tried to overcome some of the possible disadvantages?

"Silver Things" Movie Article (Q&A)

1. What was Russell's purpose in creating this film?

David O. Russell's hit film, Silver Linings Playbook, was originally a gift for his son, Matthew, 18, who has bipolar disorder.

2. Why is making a film about mental illness tricky?

Because a lot of things can get wrong, and the viewers can have a different view about how you wanted it to. But a film about mental illness can have a cathartic effect on the viewers allowing them to experience strong emotions through an activity.

In the Article Russell says. "His father has OCD. The girlfriend has issues, and the sister-in-law has issues. Even his best friend has issues. All the characters are grappling with something. I wanted to show that we're all in this together." 

3. Why is it important to try to get rid of the stigma around mental illness? 

it can lead to shame and self-consciousness in people who have a mental illness

Blog Post

 Hello Beautiful souls,

this time I'm blogging about what we did for Esol this week 

for the past few weeks, we've been doing a lot of literacy and learning ways of speaking a better vocabulary for English. We've been doing our year 12 Esol assessments which I passed easily, doing a lot of reading on books, I personally think reading books helps you in many different ways. 

This week has been ok for Esol so far, but I really hope that we'll go on a trip sometime this year since we didn't last time unfortunately because of covid restrictions. 

What is Maths Indices - simply putted

 Laws of indices

An index, or power, is the small floating number that appears after a number or letter. Indices show how many times a number or letter has been multiplied by itself. Index (indices) in Maths is the power or exponent which is raised to a number or a variable. 

For example, in number 2^4, 4 is the index of 2.

Example  

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

23 = 2 × 2 × 2 = 8 In the example, 2 is the base, and 3 is the index.   

2^5 means that you have to multiply 2 by itself five times = 2×2×2×2×2 = 32.
There are a number of important rules of index numbers: ya × yb = y.

what are the rules around multiplying positive and negative numbers?

Multiplication and Division of Integers

MULTIPLICATION RULE 1: 

The product of a positive integer and a negative integer is negative. 

RULE 2: 

The product of two positive integers is positive. 

RULE 3: 

The product of two negative integers is positive. 

Examples: 

Rule 1: 1. (+4) x (-2) = -8 2. (-2) x (+5) = -10 

Rule 2: 1. (+6) x (+8) = +48 2. (+6) x (+2) = +12 

Rule 3: 1. (-6) x (-8) = +48 2. (-2) x (-4) = +8 

DIVISION RULE 1: 

The quotient of a positive integer and a negative integer is negative. 

RULE 2: The quotient of two positive integers is positive. 

RULE 3: The quotient of two negative integers is positive. 

Examples: 

Rule 1: 

1. (-8) / (+4) = -2 2. (-12) / (+6) = -2 

Rule 2: 

1. (+6) / (-3) = -2 2. (+24) / (-6) = -4 

Rule 3. 

1. (+9) / (+3) = +3 2. (+16) / (+4) = +4 

Rule 4: 

1. (-6) / (-2) = +3 2. (-42) / (-7) = +6 

SUMMARY OF MULTIPLICATION AND DIVISION RULES 

If the signs are different the answer is negative. If the signs are alike the answer is positive.
