Book Review, The Witches, Roald Dahl

For this term, I have read a book called The Witches By Roald Dahl. It was a book about witches that hate kids and wanted all of them dead, they made a Formula that made every kid turn into a mouse. They did this so that the witches can kill them easier.

Also because a lot of people hate mice and they would put mouse traps all over the place to kill them. The mice were house mice so more people liked them. But then the kid made everyone and the witched turn to mice.  I like this book because it is funny and a long book I would have to give this book a 9/10.

 I selected to read this book because I like all of the other Roald Dahl books so I thought this one might be good. it is a great book, I would recommend it to any age. my favorite part was the part where the kid turned all the witches to mice. The Characters were Grandma Kid and the Witches.

Food Testing, Nutrients

Aim: The Aim is to learn about simple or complex sugars, Protein, and foods. and we should try to identify if one food is a complex, simple, protein or carbohydrate food. The food we will be testing on and all of the nutrients are Bread,  Sugar, Egg, Apple, Milk, and Potato.

Hypothesis. What I think is in each foodsFor the Hypothesis, I think That the Bread is a complex, Sugar or lollies is simple sugar an egg would be protein, And Apple would be a Complex, Milk would be a Protein Etc... 

Carbohydrates - Sugar - To make Energy
Protein - For Growth - To repair Muscles
Lipids - Fats & Oils - Insulate/Protect, Organs, Energy

Complex -  Long Slow Energy...

Simple - quick Short energy...

Method:
Iodine, we used two drops of iodine in each food...
The Foods, Apple, Banana, Potato.
If the food turned black that means they are a complex sugar
If they turn another color they are a simple sugar
Result: They All seemed to turn black that means they are all Complex

we also put two drops iodine in another bunch of food samples.
Our Test 2 food samples turned yellowish, brownish. that means there are no complex sugars in the foods...


Aim: To test if a sample of food contains protein.

Equipment: Test Tube, Sodium hydroxide, Copper sulfate, Food sample

Method:
1. Place about 2ml of the sample into a test tube and add 5 drops of sodium hydroxide
2. Add 5 drops of copper sulfate
3. Skate the test tube gently from side to side

Results: 
Milk and egg Positive.
Apple, potato, bread, glucose negative

Conclusion I got 4 right, Egg, Milk, apple and bread

Discussion it was fun to do and I would like to do it again but with different foods and chemicals, I learnt what simple and complex sugars and that apples are complex

Jack Has a Fight with Julien
Starts at eye level -  Mid/Medium shot
Makes us feel a part of the convo
- Sounds are Diagetic
- Low angle shot as the boy hits the ground, this makes the fight seem more dangerous. moves to close up of the struggle
 - Dutch tilt & low angle makes jack look more aggressive
- Music minor, Quiet, Dynamic - creates focus + intense, Slow Tempo
- Shot in slow-motion so we see the event more clearly

Significant - Shows the theme of popularity / Acceptance. Jack has learned from his mistakes + is standing up for his friend

The Nature Reserve fight scene = 1:29 - 1:32
During fight shots used to make Auggie and & friends bigger - More powerful & the bullies weak & vulnerable. Music had a fast tempo to build intensity.
