Term 2 Task 4 Linguistic

Recently the residences of Thul realised that a major project is going to be built in their city. Residence of Thul were delighted when they heard tha there will be a factory built there as they thought that they will get a job and earn more then what they are earning now.

They were filled with high hopes until the watchman here told them that the workers will be hired from bombay and other cities and they will require people with engineering and technology knowledge. The government will also be selling Thul for the factory.

The fishermen were angry and decided to travel to Bombay to protest. I think by the next couple of days we will be seeing fishermen on Bombay streets protesting.

Term 2 Task 3 Intrapersonal

Dear Diary,

Life has not been good nor has it improved. I am still trying my best to earn money for Lila, Kamal & Bela. Recently, I have heard of the new factories will not be recruiting people in Thul which means that i will not have a job! The government will also be selling Thul for the factory!

This cause residences there like me to decide to got to Bombay to protest. I am deciding to join the group to protest as recently mum's sick, dad is still a useless drunkard, Pinto is dead. I am frustrated now i feel helpless all i want to do is to get out of this situation the best thing to do is to go to Bombay and start a new career. I may be able to prosperous there and earn as much money as i can so i can escape poverty.

My only hope now is bombay i will be going there and never coming back I will be successful i hope. Please god help me. Please bless my family in Thul...

I am not sure if the decision id right or not but i definitely know that this will help me get out of poverty i think i am selfish so i have decided to send money back to my family members i promised.

Okay i gotta sleep bye.

Term 2 Task 2 Naturalist

I have research on the ingredients needed for the making of Jalebi and Chapatis and also the method to make them.

Jalebi

Ingredients

-2 cups self raising flour

-1/2 tsp baking powder

-1 cup yogurt

-Vegetable/canola/sunflower cooking oil for deep frying

-1 cup sugar

-Few strands saffron

-1/4 tsp cardamom powder

-2 drops orange food colour

-2 tbsps rose water

Methods:

1. Mix the flour, baking powder and yogurt into a batter and wait for it to ferment for 1 full day

2. Pour batter into a ketchup dispensing bottle.

3.To make sugar syrup: Melt the sugar with the rose water and boil to get a one thread consistency to check for, just carefully your finger into the syrup, touch your finger and thumb together and gently tease apart. If one thread is formed between your finger and thumb the syrup is done.

4.Turn off fire, add the saffron strands and cardamom and stir well.

5.Heat the oil in a deep wok-like dish. To test for the correct temperature, drop a small amount of batter into the oil. If it sizzles and rises to the top of the oil, the oil is hot enough. Keep the flame on medium at all times to ensure all round cooking of the jalebis.

6.Now hold the ketchup dispenser over the hot oil and squeeze the batter into the oil into a wiggly, randomly coiled circle. Squeeze out several at a time.

7.Fry till light golden and then remove and put directly into the sugar syrup.

8.Allow to soak for 2-3 minutes and then remove.

Chapathi

Ingredients

-3 cups

-1 1/2 teaspoon

-1 tablespoon

-1 cup

-Fine wholemeal flour or roti flour

-Salt or to taste

-Ghee or oil, optional

-Lukewarm water

Methods

1. Put flour in mixing bowl, reserving about half cup for rolling chapatis.

2.          Mix salt through the flour in the bowl, then rub in ghee or oil, if used.

3.          Add all the water all at one time and mix to a firm but not stiff dough.

4.          Knead dough for at least 10 minutes (the more it is kneaded, the lighter the bread will be).

5.          Form dough into a ball, cover with clear plastic wrap and stand for 1 hour or longer (if left overnight, the chapatis will be very light and tender).

6.          Shape dough into balls about the size of a large walnut.

7.          Roll out each one on a lightly floured board (using reserved flour) to a circular shape as thin as a French crepe.

8.          After rolling out chapatis, heat a griddle plate or heavy-based frying pan until very hot, and cook the chapatis, starting with those that were rolled first.

9.          Put chapati on griddle and leave for about 1 minute.

10.     Turn and cook other side a further minute, pressing lightly around the edges of the chapati with a folded tea towel or an egg slice.

11.     This encourages bubble to form and make the chapatis light.

12.     As each one is cooked, wrap in a clean tea towel until all are read.

13.Serve immediately with butter, dry curries or vegetable dishes.

Differences between Chapathi and Roti Prata

Basically roti is thicker then Chapathi.

Roti is a traditional unleavened whole-wheat bread which, depending on the country and the cook, can be as thin as a "skin" or soft and pliable, closer to a pita. Rotis are eaten mainly in North India but are known as "phulkas" in the West & the South parts of India. 

whereas 

Chapathi is traditionally made from very finely milled whole wheat "chapati flour" and tend to be thin and papery. This type of flatbread is eaten commonly in the Western & Southern regions of India. Nowadays, many cooks add a tbsp or so of yogurt to the dough with the end result being soft chapatis without the excess use of oil or ghee.

Differences between Jabeli and You Tiao

According to the ingredients Jabeli contains and you tiao does not contain sugar.

Term 2 Task 1 Musical/Rhythmic

I have decided chose a song called nothing else matters by david garrett.
The link is http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jExZz0wTgi0&feature=related
I chose Nothing Else Matters as i think the slow tempo song and the slow base makes the song perfect with the first five chapters of the story.I think that the slow speed song can really bring out the misery the children Hari, Lila, Bela and Kamal are living in, with a sick mum and drunken dad and at the end of the story the death of their favourite dog Pinto. I hope you will enjoy the song.

I have also decided to change the lyrics for the first verse of a song by linkin park call "Hands Held High"
The link to the song is http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5jQ0njClBKI
The original lyrics for the first verse is (i am sry that there are some vulgars in the original song):

Turn my mic up louder I got to say something
Light weights step to the side when we come in

Feel it in your chest the syllables get pumping
People on the street they panic and start running

Words on loose leaf sheet complete coming
I jump in my mind and summon the rhyme, I'm dumping

Healing the blind I promise to let the sun in
Sick of the dark ways we march to the drum and

Jump when they tell us that they wanna see jumping
**** that I wanna see some fists pumping

Risk something, take back what's yours
Say something that you know they might attack you for

Cause I'm sick of being treated like I have before
Like it's stupid standing for what I'm standing for

Like this war's really just a different brand of war
Like it doesn't cater the rich and abandon poor

Like they understand you in the back of the jet
When you can't put gas in your tank

These ******* are laughing their way to the bank and cashing the cheque
Asking you to have compassion and have some respect

For a leader so nervous in an obvious way
Stuttering and mumbling for nightly news to replay

And the rest of the world watching at the end of the day
In their living room laughing like "what did he say?"

I have change to:

Turn my mic up louder; I got to say something

    We hide in our bed when dad is comin   

Feel it in my chest, the syllabus pumpin

Siblings in the house, they panic and start runnin

Words on loose leaf sheet complete comin

I jump on my mind, I summon the rhyme I’m dumpin

Healin’ my mum, I promise to earn money

Heart filled with worries, suffer from poverty

Give when they tell us they want to see rupees

Why us! I want to see some understanding

Think again, go find our dad

Try pleadin though you know they might attack Pinto

Cause I’m sick of being treated like I have before

Like I’m good-for-nothing? For what I’m livin for?

Like my life’s really just a different brand of life

Like it only cater to rich and abandon the poor

Like they understand you back in your puny house

When you’re trying to make two ends meet

These people are laughing their way about your dad

And wantin more beer

Askin you if you’ve inherited the drunkard traits

For a guy so helpless in an obvious way

Helpless and frustrated for being in such a mess

And followed the rest of the people at the end of the day

People laughed at home like, “why did he go?”

I hope you have enjoyed the two pieces of music
