Assignment#26-Where children eat and sleep

For my country I'd like to have a middle class and Rich and maybe a few poor places.
The reason for that is my country has a high rate of employments so that everybody has the chance to get a decent job because my country isn't run on computers or technology so its more of an old fashioned place where you would have to work for things.




The life of a poor kid:My name is Danshir,I live in the poor region of Zakistan,I live with my mom dad and my two younger siblings,We live in a shack outside of the village and we can not afford school so one man in the village comes over and home schools all the children in the area,when schools over me and my family get ready for bed by laying our sheets on the floors and crowding together to keep our selfs warm from the cold nights,in the mornings my mother cooks us eggs and herbs for breakfast and the day goes on.

Assignment# 23 Canada and China





Canada birth rate:10.28 people.
China birth rate:12.29/1000 people. 
This means that Canada has less people in the country and the main reason for that is that china has been known as a country for thousands of years and Canada has just been developed as a country.

Canada population:34,130,589 
China population: 1,336,718,015
China's population shows that it has the most people in any country. As I said before china has been developed thousands of years before Canada has so the population is more dense in china than it is in Canada 


Canada medain age:41
China median age:35.5
The reason for that is because the healthcare in Canada is much more efficient then the one in china and theres more immediate responses to medical injury then in china.

Assignment #22 - Faces of the World



1.Globalization is a series of which the worlds economies,cultures and societies have been put through a global network that supports research changes in economies around the world.


Part B: I think that they analyze all the photos and try to match which ones look similar then with that information they would add all the other people and hope for a regular match.

Part C: I noticed that when u average up most of the faces 70% of the time it was a girl and why it was a girl is because most of the population in some country's are populated with females rather then males.

Part D: I tried to make a face of tomorrow that look liked me by adding a light shade of African and a dark shade of African and this is what I got

Part E: Well my face is more of a lighter shade and for some reason I don't really know why because both my parents have the same skin tone which is a little bit darker then mine,the only one's in my family who have a lighter skin tone is me and my two sisters.

Assignment #19 - If I Had $100



The Organization I would like to donate my $100 to Is Word Vision it is an organization that helps Family's and children around the world struggling with poverty and a poor economy and I think it would be a very good benefit for them because they have been through alot of tough times. The gift I have chosen to donate is a Goat. The reason that i think this is a good gift to give is because this goat would provide the family with fresh milk to drink everyday, also it could get pregnant meaning you would have a litter of goats that you could sell to merchants for alot of income. Goats can survive harsh climates meaning that it would live for along time providing 250L of milk each year that's alot of milk that would provide the family with lots of protein to survive the harsh conditions they are living in.

long trip

I think this is really awsome because the feeling of reaching that destination you have been driving hours for is just awsome also you get to stretch like you have never stretched before.

Pentagon and some guy kept calling us amateurs so we ditched him and went for ammo cause our guns were running low and then we spotted a machine that supplys ammo so we kept going
until we died in round 14.









#395 When your taxi driver knows all the shortcuts
This is amazingly awesome because my dad is a taxi driver and he knows all the shortcuts even some in toronto and montreal so everytime were late for something hes always there to save the day with his shortcuts!!









#OVER 900! That quiet moment you have when the roller coaster is going up the tracks slowly
Ok so maybe I am the only one who excperienced this maybe I'm not but you can't say that this is not an awesome feeling when everything is still and quiet and all you hear is the ride go up the tracks and suddenly that quitness bursts into a load roar of screams when the roller coaster is spedding and turning down the track,Awesome!!

Digital Foot print






Today our group has an assingment about digital foot prints given to us by our teacher. The people in my groupa are jatinder ,Tara and me, The links we used are Wikepedia Digital Footprint and we found an interesting game. A Digital Foot print is a trail of elctronics that have been used throughout your day. This topic is about how electronic devices can trace what you have used or how many times you have used them. This topic is important because they could trace every step you have walked and the police could record it and track you down if your a criminal or if you have been kidnapped,also it is important for surveys and companies and what appliances you use the most throughout your life time. One reason that digital foot print's are helpful is that if you get accused for something like a murder then your digital foot print would trace back to the day of the crime either with cameras or with websites and see if you are innocent.

Island Man (for a Caribbean island man in London who
still wakes up to the sound of the sea)
by Grace Nichols.
.
Morning
an island man wakes up
to the sound of blue surf
in his head
the steady breaking and wombing
wild seabirds
and fishermen pushing out to sea
the sun surfacing defiantly
from the east
of his small emerald island.
.
He always comes back
groggily groggily
comes back to sands
of a grey metallic soar
to a surge of wheels
to dull North Circular roar
muffling muffling
his crumpled pillow waves
island man heaves himself
another London day.
The Most Important words:
1. wakes up
2. blue surf
3. island man
4. wild seabirds
5. sea
6. emerald island
7. comes back
8.
grey metallic soar
9. north circular roar
10. pillows
The place I would like to wake up in is the Atlantic resort in the Bahamas. I would like to wake up in this place because it has a real ceramic background and also there is a tunnel that goes under water and u can see sharks and other sea creatures above u and i just think that is rally cool.

Behind my name

Behind My Name: Zakariya

Before I started this assignment, I thought my name was just used by Muslim people but actually it is also used for Jewish people but instead its spelled Zechariah or Zacharias.
I think my parents chose this name for me because in my religion it is named after one of the prophets of Allah(God) also did you know prophet Zakariya sons name is Yahya(John) and my little brothers name is yahya interesting. After searching on behind the names i found out that in Hebrew my name means remembered by god and in Arabic it means the prophet of god wow my name is holy in two different languages BONUS. I think my name suits me because i really respect my religion. If I could give myself a new name it would be Soap because one of the sergeants in Call of Duty has that nickname.
Empathy is when your able to feel or understand someones feelings or thoughts for example:A little boy had gotten his kite stuck in a tree so he started crying, then his older brothers friend felt that he was sad so he got a ladder and climbed up the tree and got the kite down the little boy was so happy and then his brothers friend felt good inside. Basically empathy is when your able to experience what other people are feeling.

3 Things that I think would have helped to improve our presentation is that I think we should have had more time to practice.Secondly I think we should have thought about our presentation and our ideas and who was doing what ahead of time.Thirdly I would like to say that the volume needed to be cranked up. 2 Things that I think went really well is the rap because the lines were really meaningful and also that ostrich story because i think it was a really good story and it should be published as a children's book. 1 Piece of advice I have for students who will be performing in the future is that always look at the audience and try to take yourself seriously cause if you dont then the audience wont either.
