1. The poor people are starving because they have no corn because the summer was wet.
2.They turn to Bishop Hatto because he still has corn from the last years framing.
3.Bishop Hatto decides to lock the poor into his barn and burn it to the ground, thus killing all the poor people in the land. I think this because in the 6 stanza he says,"
22 " I'faith 'tis an excellent bonfire!" quoth he,
23 "And the country is greatly obliged to me,
24 For ridding it in these times forlorn
25 Of Rats that only consume the corn.", meaning that he has killed all the poor people and so ridding the land of all the 'Rats'.
4.It foreshadows that the Bishop will die soon and gives the story a sense of suspense.
5.I think that there are two reasons why the rats ate the Bishop's picture. Firstly, because they are hungry and want to use it for food. Another more mysterious reason is because Hatto called them rats, god has sent real rats to eat his picture. It could even be that because the Bishop called them rats they have been reincarnated as rats and recognised his face and basically ate his face.
6.He may be scared about they way all his corn was eaten after he burned all the poor people so he runs away and hides in his tower.
7.It may be that the 'eye's of fire' are a devilish sign and means that the devil, or something malicious, is near.
8.It gives some contrast into the poem as normally mice/rats are scared of cats because they hunt them but no the cat is scared of the rats and makes them look more scarier.
9.It could mean that they had been sent by someone (God) and the work that they were sent for is to kill him. Again this is a example of foreshadowing.
10.I think that at the beginning of his life Bishop Hatto was a kind or kinder person and that is why he was chosen to become a Bishop. But sadly later Hatto saw how a unfair and dark place the world is and has strayed from his duties as Bishop. He could also have become corrupt or even a bit mad with power as he thinks of the poor people as Rats. Overall Bishop Hatto began as a kind person with a good heart but later became a mean, dark and slightly mad man.
11.The pace of the story is quicker at the end because he leaps from place to place like when the Bishop goes from the countryside to the Rhine to his tower. In the beginning it stays in one place, the countryside, and moves slower than later. This proves the story moves at a faster pace at the end. At the end the mood changes to a darker look as they include the death of the Bishop, the escape to the Rhine and the suspense of the rats coming towards him. The death happens in the 19th stanza when the rats gnaw every scrap of flesh of his bones they basically kill him. This is pretty gruesome and dark. The escape to the Rhine is full of suspense and you are not sure if he will get there in time. This darkens the mood and adds more suspense. Finally I think this is the darkest part when he is sleeping in the tower and then he hears the cat screaming and then he sees the rats coming. This is very tense as it is creepy that a animal is screaming and makes you think that the danger is very near and scary. Overall this means that towards the end the story's mood is darker and the pace is quicker.
13.First it is a supernatural story because it relates to God, who is a supernatural person/character. This is proven when the Bishop believes that God had sent the rats to punish him. It is also a little bit supernatural when he sees how many rats are coming as there were probably not even that many in the countryside.

Beowulf lines for English
Christopher
save only the land and the lives of his men.
Wide, I heard, was the work commanded,
save only the land and the lives of his men.
Wide, I heard, was the work commanded,
for many a tribe this mid-earth round,
to fashion the folkstead. It fell, as he ordered,
in rapid achievement that ready it stood there,
of halls the noblest: Heorot he named it
whose message had might in many a land.
Not reckless of promise, the rings he dealt,
treasure at banquet: there towered the hall,
high, gabled wide, the hot surge waiting
of furious flame. Nor far was that day
when father and son-in-law stood in feud
for warfare and hatred that woke again.
With envy and anger an evil spirit
endured the dole in his dark abode,
that he heard each day the din of revel
high in the hall: there harps rang out,
clear song of the singer. He sang who knew
tales of the early time of man,
how the Almighty made the earth,
fairest fields enfolded by water,
set, triumphant, sun and moon
for a light to lighten the land-dwellers,
and braided bright the breast of earth
with limbs and leaves, made life for all
of mortal beings that breathe and move.
So lived the clansmen in cheer and revel
a winsome life, till one began
to fashion evils, that field of hell.
Lots of people helped to make the eating house. It was made as he wanted and quickly it stood. The best of the eating houses: Heorot he named it and its news spread rapidly through the country. Hrothgar did not fear promises and gave presents to all the people who came. It stood there tall and proud. The day was not far when farther and son-in-law, who stood in fued, stopped their hatred. Then a monster woke, an evil spirit that stayed and endured his life in his dark cave. He heared all the poeple in Heorot singing and their music. The singer sang of the beginning of man and how God made the Earth. He sang of what God did for the humans. This is how the people lived in Heorot until some one started to fashion evil.

The Odyssey Paragraph
The Odyssey is the second oldest epic poem that is widely know, the Iliad being the first. The Odyssey is about a very clever thinker Odysseus, who is travelling back home to Ithaca after the fall of the city of Troy. This is a Greek version as the Roman one involves Ulysses, who is the Roman equivalent of Odysseus. This journey takes roughly 10 years to get back home after the ten year long battle of Troy. This story is a epic poem because Odysseus goes on a long journey with many conflicts. The story is also a long poem. Also Odysseus has more power than most people because he was a great thinker and used his brain to get out of problems. There are also elements that are supernatural like Cyclops and gods and things like that. Also in most epic poems the antagonist has supernatural powers but in the Odyssey there are no crystal clear baddies but I will use Poseiden as the antagonist. As you know Poseiden is a god so he is very supernatural. Overall the Odyssey has all of the elements needed to be a epic poem.
Pizza Description
A soft base that gives it a attractive shape. It holds the food together like glue.
A thin layer of red tart and sweet sauce.
On top of this a gooey texture which brings out the flavour of this food.
Next circular spicy disks cover your nose with a peppery aroma.
Finally a layer of crisp meat that covers this with a meaty flavour.
As this food reaches your mouth a firework display of taste approaches your senses.
As your teeth puncture the spicy disks it feels like lava is poured into your mouth as tears smart your eyes. However you soon become accustomed to this spiciness and you appreciated the complex flavours.
You constantly bite into the succulent textures until you take another mouth full.
Next your taste buds are met with the tart and sweet blood like sauce mixed with the gooey cool feeling.
And finally you penetrate into the base. But now it has a crispy feel instead of the soft texture and you are surprised. But not for long.

Paragraphs on the Allianz Add
Contrast Paragraph
Think local globally. Contrast is a tool used in advertising that grabs people's attention using the differences between two things. In this advertisement there are many different examples of contrast. My first one is the difference between this man and his background. On the picture the man looks like a business man or a hiker with his suite and shoes and the way he wears his backpack. On the other hand the background looks like a rice crispy farm or hill with a house in the background. This doesn't seem like a very business like place to me. Another one is the way he looks a hiker but has a tablet with him. He looks relaxed and smiling and he looks casual but still smart enough to be a businessman. But most hikers don't have a tablet with them when they go walking or hiking and they certainly don't need one. The third and final one is the contrast between the colours. This is difficult to see on a black and white copy but on the colour one there is a difference between this man's jacket and the colour of the rice crispies(If they are even rice crispies). The jacket is a light brown and the rice crispies are a yellow. There is a difference. These are the contrasts in this advert. This is only one of the types of ways to make adverts. Another device people use is repetition.
Repetition Paragraph
Think local globally. Repetition is another tool used in advertising to make people remember things you say. In this advert there are multiple examples of repetition. The first is the word investment. In all the writing they say this word 3 times. This makes the readers remember that Allianz is connected to investment. The second is the word Allainz. This is also repeated three times. Again this reminds and makes people remember the name Allianz so later if they see a building with the name Allianz they will remember it. The last word is investors. In the advert when they mention Allianz it normally has the word investors next. This means when people see the name Allianz they will not only remember the company they will also remember that it is a investors. There are other words that are repeated but these are the key words. This is the key repeated words.

The Allebeor Trilogy Part
The Allebeor Trilogy Part
The Climax in the Trilogy.
Black onyx doors booming shut behind them, Dragan gasped with wonder as he beheld the massive hall. It was bathed in a soft light that receded in the distance so the exact size of the hall was impossible to discern. The sound of the door closing rebounded and echoed along the hall, becoming louder every second. The scale of the room was too big for Dragan to grasp. He felt like an ant in an ant hill.
And then he noticed the walls. They were covered with carved lines that created an amazing piece of art. Each line was a different hue of the rainbow, which ranged from green to sapphire, all adding to the colourful halo that lighted the room. The floor was made of black onyx, which balanced the colour out, making the room a wonderful piece of craftsmanship. The room smelt of crushed pine leaves and reminded Dragan of the countryside, giving it a rural beauty alongside the complex stone work.
But a sad thought struck Dragan at this moment. "All this beauty", thought Dragan, "gone to waste on the dark king". He looked at his companions and saw the same reactions on their faces. And then he saw the dark throne. Upon it sat the King, smiling at his new guests.
"Welcome to Castle Celebrim, my humble home. I greet you as my guests."
"Save the pleasantries, King Thangar, for they are lost on our ears," replied Oke. Glicir growled in agreement.
"Why so hostile, Oke my friend? You are my guests and I will treat you so. All I ask in turn is that you are polite to me in kind.”
"Why should we be kind to you Thangar, when you have killed countless of our friends and comrades so you may have more power? I say that deed doesn't deserve kindness and politeness," retorted Dragan. It was painful to refer to the death of Kore but he was angry that they were bandying words with the King instead of fighting him.
"Ah, Dragan I almost forgot you. And for your insult my answer is thus. I have killed and I admit it. But have not the Vard also killed many people. And why? So another King or Queen can rule in my stead. But why? What have I done so that I anger you? What have I done wrong? And the answer is nothing. For you fight so that you may be King, Dragan. You fight for power. That is the answer.”
"You lie Thangar. You have done much wrong. You have enslaved dragons, killed innocent people in your own land and above all you have fought to gain more land and more power with war. The answer is one word. This word has controlled you since you enslaved the dragons. This one word is power."
The slither of steel on leather broke the silence that came after Dragan's statement. The King had drawn his black sword. His eyes, which were kind before, were now seething with anger and black with malice.
"How dare you say this too me, your King. Show me some respect, you young swine. I will kill you as easily as breaking a dry twig. I will sweep you away like the powerful storm I have become."
And with that he leapt off his throne and swung at Dragan with his black blade. Dragan brought his sword up just quick enough to block Thangar's blow. But for Dragan it felt like a ton of bricks had fallen on him. The strength of the King was astounding.
"I must use my shield otherwise my sword will not last long" thought Dragan as Thangar came in for another crushing blow. This time Dragan used his shield to block. But still the shock of the blow travelled up through his arm right to his shoulder. But now Dragan was ready. He lifted his shield and struck at the King. But even as fast as Dragan was the King was faster still and parried the blow on his sword. Dragan was shocked by the King reflexes and was starting to think he might die in this fight. His last fight.
The blows were starting to numb Dragan’s arm as Thangar repeatedly bashed down on his shield. But an idea was beginning to form in Dragan’s mind.
“A dangerous plan but it is dangerous times” thought Dragan grimly as Thangar bashed down on his shield for the uptenth time.
While Thangar was preparing for the next blow, Dragan whispered a prayer and got ready to raise his shield. His companions gasped as they saw what he was doing. But while he started to raise his shield Thangar cut into it and yanked it from his grasp. Dragan was now open to any attack. Thangar dropped his sword because of the shield wedged into it and drew his dagger out of his belt. He swiped it down at Dragan’s neck. As he did Dragan raised his arm to shield his neck. Then he realised he had no shield and a black hole loomed inside him as he realised he will die.
All in this registered in Dragan’s mind as the dagger came down. Then it hit his wrist which was shielding his neck. The dagger was sharp and it cut Dragan’s whole hand off. He screamed in agony as his lifeless limb fell to the floor. Thangar stopped and watched as Dragan kneeled over in pain. He had won. But Dragan did not give up yet. He had come too far to fail and now courage and a new sense of persistence gave him hope.
He raised his sword in his left hand and swung it at Thangar. Thangar’s eyes opened in shock as he saw the blade swinging at him. He started to bring his sword up but for once his reflexes failed him. There was a squelching sound as the King’s head fell onto the floor. Then the Company cheered. For their enemy was dead and their Quest was done. But Dragan just slumped on the floor in a pool of his blood, eyes closed.

Canterbury Tales Character
Pardoners Tale:
Tom, Dick and Harry are all archetypes. Their traits are obnoxious, mischievous and greedy. They are mischievous when they are chasing the landlord and peeing out of the church stable. They are obnoxious when they come into the pub and get drunk and they are greedy when they all want the gold for themselves.
The Genres of the Canterbury Tales
The Nun’s Priest.
Genre: Fable
A fable is a story that has talking animals, a moral at the end. Animals are given human characteristics and are normally the main characters. Morals are things that seek to explain things about life. The Nun’s Priest tale contains all of the features of a fable. Firstly this story applies the use of talking animals. One animal is Sir Russell Fox and he says "Again! Again! What a tasty voice". This is a clear example that there are talking animals and that they have human characteristics. But perhaps the surest sign that this is a fable is when the Priest tells the audience directly that it has a moral,"To be on your guard against flatterers. This moral means to know and to be on your guard against flatterers and not to be flattered. Both Chaunticleer and Sir Russell Fox use flattery to deceive each other. Chaunticleer is flattered when the fox says to Chaunticleer he is really good at singing and Chaunticleer thinks that the fox is here to hear him and not eat him. Sir Russell Fox is fooled when Chaunticleer says for him to shout to the farmers following him to move away because they have no chance to catch him. While he is shouting Chaunticleer gets out of his mouth and flies up and away. These examples prove beyond doubt that the Nun’s Priest tale is fable. Another feature to be considered is the shortness of fables compared to other stories like The Wife of Bath's folk tale.The Wife of Bath.
A folk tale has normal characters and events and seeks to explain things about life and the human condition. They also have make believe elements but overall the story is realistic. The Wife of Bath is a perfect example of a folk tale. Firstly the story uses normal characters like the Sir Codsbrain who is a low ranking knight. He is a archetype and so a normal and simple character. This is a crystal clear example of a normal character. The story also wants to explain about Sir Codsbrain's condition of always annoying women and flirting with them. Sir Codsbrain's condition is that he keeps flirting with women even when the Queen says he can't and this gets him into trouble. Also he thinks that he has control over women and expect them to like and follow him. But at the end he learns from the Old Woman that for women to like him he must let them have power over him. Finally at the end Sir Codsbrain marries the Old Woman and then later they are in bed and the Old Woman turns to a young and beautiful girl and then everybody is happy. This means that this is magical but the rest of the story is realistic. Over all I have given enough to say that the Wife of Bath's Tale is a folk tale beyond doubt.
The Pardoner's Tale.
A morality tale only contains a moral and otherwise is a normal story. The Pardoner's Tale is a morality tale. It has a clear moral that the Pardoner says to the audience"If you go looking for Death don't be surprised if you find him".This moral happens when 3 people go looking for Death because Death took their friend. An old man told them that he saw Death at a oak tree. At the oak tree they find a bag of gold. They decide that 2 people will guard the gold and the third will go and buy some food. The 2 guards also decide when the third goes away that they will kill him and have all the gold. The third one decides to but a poison and give it to the others. One he gets back the 2 guards kill him and then they drink the wine with the poison and they also die. By looking for Death and finding the gold they do in fact find Death, thus proving the Pardoner's Tale's clear moral which makes it a morality tale.
The Knights Tale.
A chivalric romance story is a tale that contains chivalry and romance. Chivalric is the rules of fighting that knights used. Romance is love between 2 people. The Knights Tale is a perfect example of chivalric romance. The romance is between 3 people: 2 men and 1 women. The 2 boys names are Palamon and Arcite. They both love the women Emily. Both Palamon and Arcite are in a prison and then they look out of the window and see Emily. They both immediately fall in love with her. Later they decide to joust to decide who will marry Emily. This is a chivalric example because they both take up the rules of fighting by saying the winner will marry Emily and they both abide by these rules. In the end Palamon wins and he marries Emily. Taking all this evidence into account it is clear that the Knights Tale is undoubtedly a chivalric romance.

Nuns Priest Tale
Ordinary World: The Nuns Priest has a farm and has a proud cock in his farm. His name is Chaunticleer and he is in love with a hen called Pertelote.
Disruption: The disruption is the fox showing itself to Chaunticleer. The night before Chaunticleer had a dream about a fox but this is only foreshadowing.

4. The fox runs away with him but Chaunticleer also flatters him and escapes.
5. At the end Chaunticleer learns he must not be flattered because he doesn't want to get caught and taken away by another animal.
Climax: I think that the climax is when the fox has taken Chaunticleer and Chaunticleer is trying to flatter the fox and you are not sure if the flattery will work. This is because either Chaunticleer escapes and it is a happy ending or Chaunticleer could be taken by the fox and he could die.
Outcomes: The fox is hungry and annoyed that Chaunticleer got away, Pertelope is with Chaunticleer and is happy and Chaunticleer has lernt his lesson to not be flattered.

Characters
-Hero-Protagnist
This means that this character is the leading character in the story and generally is good. In Clockwork Gretl is the protagnist.
-Antagonist
The antagonist is the bad guy in the story. In Star Wars 7 Kylo Ren is the antagonist. You could also argue that Snoke is the antagonist but he doesn't take any actions and only Kylo Ren is bad in that film.
-Catalyst
A catalyst is the person in a story who changes and starts the story. Also in Star Wars 7 I think that BB8 is the catalyst and Finn speeds it up.
-Round character
A round character is a character that has many different traits. In Clockwork Gretl is one of the round characters.
-Flat character
A flat character is a character with only 1,2 or 3 traits. Also is Clockwork Prince Florian is an example of a flat character.
-Archetype
A archetype is a type of a flat character that has 2-3 traits. In Star Wars 7 I think that Chewie may be a archetype.
-Caricature
A caricature is also a type of flat character with only 1 trait. In Clockwork Putzi the cat is a caricature because his 1 trait is selfishness.
-Foil
A foil is a character that could have been the hero/protagonist but made a decision that changed that. Also foils make the hero look more of a hero. In Clockwork Fritz is a foil because he decides not to finish the story.
-Growing characters.
A growing character is a character who has more traits at the end of the story then at the beginning. In the Maze Runner Thomas is a growing character because he has more traits at the end of the story than at the beginning.

Clockwork Quetions
Question 3. What does the author mean by artistic temperament? How does he feel about this word?
The author thinks its a lot of hooey because only amateurs have artistic temperaments.
Question 4. "Princess Mariposa stood at the palace window, she heard the chiming of the cathedral clock, and said “I wish I had a child as sound as a bell and as true as a clock”, and when she had said those words she felt her heart lift." He is using a simile when he writes “I wish I had a child as sound as a bell and as true as a clock”. This is a simile because he uses as in the quote. Also at the end when it is written that here heart lifted it is a metaphor because her heart did not actually lift but she feels like it did.
Question 5.
Example 1. "Tick,tock,tick,tock! Bit by bit they move, and tick us steadily on towards our grave."
This sentence has onomatopoeia and that lives are somehow connected to time and clocks.
2. "Instead, there was a little piece of clockwork: just a few cogs and springs and a balance wheel, attached in subtle ways to the Princes veins and tick-tick-ticking away merrily, in perfect time to the lashing of his arm."
This sentence uses sight imagery when he describes the clock components and repetitive onomatopoeia when he writes "tick-tick-ticking".
3."You have wound up the future, my boy! It has already begun to tick!"
Again the author refers to how clocks are connected to human time and life.
4."His mainspring was bound to weaken, his escapement to become clogged with dust."
This is in a passage about Dr. Kalmenius talking to Prince Otto about how his sons mechanical heart was bound to fail after a period of time.
This sentence uses sight imagery when he describes the components inside Prince Florian.
5."Finally she clambered up through a trapdoor into the very topmost chamber, and found a silver moonlight shining in on such a complexity of mechanical parts she could make no sense of them at all."
This writing symbolises her own state of mind because she is confused.
