Introduction to Connections

1. How does viewing this text through a child’s perspective change the way we experience it? Explain using an example from the text. Looking through a child's eyes are pure and innocent. This is because they have not experienced anything major and seen things as much as adults.

2. How would this text be different if it were told from the perspective of an adult? How would the audience’s experience be different? If Jojo Rabbit was filmed from the perspective of an adult, it would be darker. This is because adults have to go through more things than kids and have a lot of responsibilities.

Jojo Rabbit Scenes

In this blog, I am gonna be explaining 3 different important scenes in Jojo rabbit.

There was a scene in Jojo rabbit that broke my heart. Jojo was wandering around town and when he came across to the place where people get hanged for trying to help the jews. He found his mum hanged with the other people that tried to make a petition to stop killing the jews. Jojo then ran to his mum crying. He then hugged his mum with pure sadness. The author of this text wanted us to know that family is always important and you have to love them until it is too late to do so. 

The second scene was when Jojo tried to be a nazi. In the whole movie, Jojo wanted to be in the Nazi army and he does get in. He did a lot of things that aren't ordinary for a young kid. He learned about knives, guns, and explosives. The author did this to show us what it was like back then for the people who got drafted for the army Hitler army was still a thing.  

The biggest scene with the most impact was when Jojo found a Jewish girl living in their basement. The Jewish girl has been adopted by Jojo's parents. For the rest of the movie, Jojo has been fighting with this girl and trying to get some information about her. But when Jojo found out about her and her mom helping her, Jojo decided that he was gonna help her escape and get her to freedom.

Forces

Force - A push or a pull on an object changing its velocity. 

There are different type of forces. A push force which is a person or a thing exerting force on a object changing its location and moving an object. The other force is called friction force. Friction occurs when an object resist the push force by getting dragged on a surface. There is weight force which is an object exerting force in the downwards direction due to its weight. The last force is the support force. When an object is placed on a table, the table is exerting support force and when the table is able to hold the object. It is exerting the same or an even greater equal force on the block that is exerting weight force.

Magnetism

How does magnetism work? Magnetism is a force that can attract or repel objects that have a magnetic material like iron inside of them. Magnets have magnetic fields. In order to magnetize something, You need to put it closer to the magnet because the magnet has a magnetic field that attracts metals such as Iron. Magnets have many use. One of them was found a long time ago. A magnet could be used as a compass to show the direction of north and south.  



North Magnetic pole: The north magnetic pole is the point on the surface of Earth's northern Hemisphere where the planet's magnetic field points vertically downwards.

How is Electricity Made

When it rains, the water droplets can freeze in mid air and rub against each other. This creates electricity and it is usually released by a bolt of lightning. However, Some animals like an electric eel, Produce and store electricity. They use this to hunt prey or as a self defense to a threat. Humans the learned how to harness and store energy. You can harness energy in different ways but there is a way that is very effective. It is called Photo voltaic cells. It converts solar energy to electricity. A solar cell, or photo voltaic cell, is an electrical device that converts the energy of light directly into electricity by the photo voltaic effect, which is a physical and chemical phenomenon. Here is an image of the parts of a photo voltaic cell. 

How do Atoms form Ions

Atoms start out electrically neutral because they have the same number of negatively charged electrons and positively protons. However, An ion is an atom that has gained or lost one or more electrons. Therefore, it has a negative or positive charge.

For example, Sodium. A sodium atom has one electron in the outer shell. A chlorine atom seven electrons in the outer shell. A sodium atom loses an electron to a chlorine atom. The sodium atom becomes a positive sodium ion.

In English, we had a discussion about whether movies are better than books. In my opinion, Movies are better and im gonna be explaining why. 

In my opinion, Movies are better because you get to just sit and watch however, You need to read books manually and it gets really boring after a long time. Movies only consume about 2 hours of your time whereas, it usually takes 20 days to finish a book depending on how fast you read and how much time you read. Movies are better because you also don't need to flip pages or anything whereas to books, You need to manually change pages and manually speak the words in your head. In movies, all you need to do is listen because the characters in that movie usually speak. Whereas as to books, You have to manually read and sound out the words that you are reading in order to catch up or learn about what's happening in the storyline. 

Books also have upper hands from movies. Movies usually take out plots that are really important in the storyline. They leave out big plots and sometimes, they even take out characters that are really important in the book or movie. Taking out plots basically means that they are taking out the important stuff that is needed in the story. Books also give out more details and information than movies. They tend to explain and add more details in the book more than the movie. 

In conclusion, it depends on your personality whether you like movies more than books. If you like reading, Then reading books are probably more interesting and better for you. But if you are a person that desnt like reading and gets bored of it, Then movies are for you because you only need to sit down, watch and listen to the audio. I am a movie person myself because I find reading boring. I find reading boring because you need to manually read it in your head and you also have to manually change the page. Whereas movies, You only need to sit down, watch and listen to what's happening in the story.  Both can be enjoyable and they have upper hands to each other but it depends on what you like and whats more interesting to you.
