Reflection

Title: Jujutsu kaisen

Author: Gege Akutami 

Genre: Manga

During this week in wananga we have been doing 10 minutes of silent reading each day. For silent reading i have been reading the Jujutsu Kaisen manga and i am up to chapter 90. Chapter 90 is about Gojo Satoru coming face to face with his enemy's that have been hiding themselves in the shadows for quite some time. Gojo comes face to face with his enemy's and the presence in the air gets more and more intense, they go back and fourth trash talking each other until they finally start fighting POW!! BOOM BANG! its a 2v1 Gojo verses Hanami and Jogo, Gojo tells them to bring it on with a smirk on his face and they both attack Gojo thinking that he is out numbered but Gojo is too op and he destroys both of them killing Hanami by ripping out her eyes which are branches, and he injures Jogo badly by ripping off his head. Gojo is utterly surprised by how easy that was but then boom a bunch of curses come out of a subway train and they interfere with his view and he cannot tell where the others that he senses, suddenly he turns around and there is a box on the ground he is wondering what it is then someone comes from behind him and says close and Gojo is now stuck and unable to move the cursed technique user then says ill see you in a million or a billion years Gojo Satoru and he says seal and Gojo is now stuck inside the box forever.

Salt crystals

 Aim: To produce copper sulfate salt by reacting copper oxide with an acid.

Method: 

1.  Add 20 ml of sulfuric acid to a 100 ml beaker. Heat the acid until it reaches 70 degrees Celsius. Turn off your Bunsen burner.

2. Once heated, use a spatula to add pea-sized portions of copper oxide to the beaker. Stir the mixture for thirty seconds.

3. repeat step two until no more will dissolve. Allow the beaker to cool.

4. Fold the filter paper and place it in the funnel. Place the filter funnel into the second beaker.

5. Make sure the beaker is cool enough to hold at the top. The contents should be hot. You may need your teacher to complete this step.

6. Gently swirl the contents of the beaker to mix, and then pour into the filter paper in the funnel. Allow the filter through.

7. Rinse the beaker you used to the heat the mixture previously, and place it back on top of your tripod filled with 50-60 ml of water.

8. Place the evaporating basin on top of the beaker and carefully pour some of the solution from the beaker into the evaporation basin.

9. Gently heat the beaker until the solution in the evaporating basin has reduced by half.

10. Leave the evaporating basin to cool. Once cool, move the evaporating basin to a warm place where it will be not disturbed (i.e. a window-sill) and observe over the next few days. Blue copper sulfate crystals should form.

Results:

Discussion: When adding copper oxide to the water it turned black until we filtrated the mixture it came out blue on the other side.

Conclusion: Due to the fact that we added a little too much of the substances i thought it would have turned out a bit messed up but really it turned amazing.

Neutralization

 Aim: To observe a neutralization reaction

Method 1: Add approximately 1-2 ml of Na Co and place the test tube into the test tube rack. Add 3-5 drops of universal indicator solution. Method 2: Using a dropper bottle, add HCI drop by drop. Be careful because adding even a small amount of extra acid can mean you'll miss the neutralization point.

Equipment: Test tube rack, universal indicator, Base, Acid

Results: It changed colors like red, yellow, orange, blue, purple etc

Discussion: What does the results mean? When doing the neutralization experiment there was a chart that we had to use, we had to base the results off of the chart according to the colors, from red to orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and lastly violet. If the color was in between the range from red, orange to yellow that would mean that it would be an acid the more stronger the color was the more stronger the chemical was, so, if the color was red that means it would be a strong acid but if it were to be orange or yellow that mean its a weak acid, if it was violet that would mean its a strong base but if it were to turn indigo or violet then that indicate that it was a weak base.

Written by George Harrison, ''Here comes the sun'' is taken from a 1996 album, Abbey Road.

Significance of WW1

When do you hear this song? The last post as played is played at the end of inspection it typically lasts for about 45 seconds: When played ceremonially  with notes held for longer, pauses extended, and the expression mournful, Typical duration could be 75 seconds or more.  This custom dates back to the 17th century or earlier.

Why is this song significant/important to NZ?  Everyday at 5pm, a last post ceremony was conducted on the forecourt of the national War memorial in Wellington, the Last Post is a bugle call with two generally accepted purposes. The first is an implied summoning of the spirits of the fallen to the cenotaph, the second symbolically ends the day. 

What is the history behind the last post - why was it played and when It originated with British troops stationed in the Netherlands, where it drew on an older Dutch custom, called taptoe, from which comes the term tattoo as in Military tattoo. The taptoe was also used to signal the end of the day, but originated from a signal that beer taps had to be shut, hence that the day had ended.

What does this song represent? the Last Post is the bugle call that signifies the end of the day's activities.  It is also sounded at military funerals to indicate that the soldier has gone to his final rest and at commemorative services such as Anzac Day and Remembrance Day

Kindness

1.  Why do I want it? I want kindness because it makes me feel good, not only on the inside but on the outside as well. Kindness helps me because when i'm at my lowest points it motivates me to get back up and keep on going. 

2.  What do I want? I want to become successful in life so that when i get older i can help out my parents.

3.  How will I get it? Golden rule: Treat others as you want to be treated. Treating others with kindness won't guarantee that they will give it back in return however, if you continue to be kind towards them they could eventually change their mind and they might give it back in return.

4.  When do I want it? Everyday.

Parihaka: Tim Finn and The Herbs

What is the main message of this song? The message this song is trying to tell the people of Parihaka is to not give in and to rise up and defend themselves, its also telling them that they are taking it the wrong way by not taking action to fight back or to stand up for themselves and that the spirit of Te Whiti is guiding them and that he will always be with them

What line explains their passive resistance method? My friend, My friend, I hate to see you suffer Events conspire to bring us to our knees My friend, my friend, you've taken this the wrong way Rise up, defend yourself, this piece of lyrics is explaining about how they were very passive and how it was a non violent and peaceful protest 

What does you cant pull out the roots refer to? I think it means that they cant change the past as to what has happened to all the innocent people that were arrested for no reason whatsoever, I think it also means that they cannot do anything about the land that was confiscated by the British.

Give evidence of determination: The song shows determination because of how the people looked up to the spirit of Te Whiti and realized that he is always watching over them which gave them reason to continue and keep fighting and pushing for freedom.
