This is my work using the prezi website, using it was like learning a new skill to present something that is different from others. I also learned a few things about some places in NZ, the most interesting I found in my research is probably the history of Hornby High School.
Here's the link, click it to see the work iv'e done, it's not much but I learned few new things from it:
A key moment for Ellie, In Tomorrow When The War Began, is when she blows up the lawnmower. Explain - It is an important moment for her as a character because it was the first time she has ever killed someone which results in trauma. In chapter seven, Ellie and two of her friends are hiding from the invaders. At this moment she is scared that her and her friends are going to get caught. Ellie thinks quickly to develop a plan to protect her friends and escape from the soldiers by using the lawnmower as a bomb by putting a rag in the gas-tank and lighting it. This moment shows the reader that Ellie is brave, smart and capable of leadership. A quote that shows Ellie’s courage is on page 90 “for the first time I saw their faces; then I struck the match”. This quote shows that Ellie’s action saved their lives in a life and death situation. This is a moment that stays with Ellie for a long time.
In the TWTWB novel, Ellie showed her feeling about the war that's happening in a chapter. When Ellie got furious about Chris falling asleep in his sentry duty, it's when you watch over enemies, Ellie was so stressed that she yelled to Chris for almost risking all of their lives, she also almost killed Chris about it. Later on, she got tired of arguing, she went asleep and had a nightmare about how she killed everyone she loved, how she was careless with gas bottles causing an explosion which blew up the house she lived in, with his parents in it, setting fire to a haystack where her friends were sleeping and a few more. This shows us that Ellie is in stress or in pain. Maybe this happened to her because of the 3 soldiers she killed with a bomb lawnmower, or when Lee got shot by a bullet and Ellie was so worried that she doesn't know what to do. People in wars experience PTSD which makes them experience scary, shocking, and dangerous events making them feel afraid during and after a traumatic situation...
This paragraph is about one of the inventions of the Industrial Revolution of how they evolved, the purpose of them, and the impact they gave us. According to the internet, the Industrial Revolution started in 1760 and ended in 1840, it’s the time when machines were made such as weaving machines, steam engines, spinning frames, and cotton gin etc. I will show you how one of the inventions of the Industrial Revolution made a big impact on us.
During the time of the Industrial Revolution, many inventions were made by hand or work by hand. Steam engines are one of the inventions made, it was made in the 1690s. The creation of steam engines helped us before but the steam engine now has evolved and made a big impact on our era. The steam engine nowadays helps us more than the old one. The old steam engine helped to power the first trains, ships, factories, and even cars.
While the steam engine nowadays changed steam trains to bullet trains, a train faster than a traditional train using magnetic process to move. It was made in Japan in 1964, without the old steam train the bullet train probably doesn’t exist in our time right now. Steam engines also evolved to steam turbines, a power generating plants and ships. They are particularly useful for nuclear power plants. Steam engines evolved into steam turbines and have a big impact on our era. Steam turbines generate electricity using rotary motion and about 85% of all electricity generation in the United States in the year 2014 was by use of steam turbines. As we know, steam turbines generate large amounts of electricity helping us do our work easily, making our lives simple, and it gives us benefits which is a good thing for us to go continue on living. There are a lot more inventions from the time of the Industrial Revolution and were evolved in this time for the better.
