Anna's Page media type="custom" key="3879835" width="167" height="146" Happy Feet: My Heart Song: LYRICS  The monkey on the back is the latest trend, Don't see what anyone can see, In anyone else, But you

Here is a church and here is a steeple, We sure are cute for two ugly people, Don't see what anyone can see, In anyone else, But you

We both have shiny happy fits of rage, I want more fans, you want more stage, Don't see what anyone can see, In anyone else, But you

I'm always trying to keep it real, Now I'm in love with how you feel, I don't see what anyone can see, In anyone else, But you

I kiss you on the brain in the shadow of the train, I kiss you all starry eyed, My body swings from side to side, I don't see what anyone can see, In anyone else, But you

The pebbles forgive me, The trees forgive me, So why can't, You forgive me? I don't see what anyone can see, In anyone else, But you

Da da da da da da dada Da da da da da da dada I don't see what anyone can see, In anyone else, But you. What I think the song is about: I think that the song is an expression of love between two different people. It is also says how you feel when you’re in love. It’s about how you fall in love and you can’t control how you feel. I think that in the artist want you to understand the reasons for the singers not doing a duet but taking it a verse at a time. This proves that even though you may have different points of view you can still be in love. It also says that you can disagree but you will always get through it. It is a song of hope and love and that is why I love it.

What the song means to me:

The song ‘Anyone Else but You’ means a great deal to me. It’s about the way that you can’t help the way you feel when you are in love. It also explains that someday everyone will find someone that will never want ‘anyone else but you’. This is an important song for me because after my grandma died I would listen to this song many times a day to help me get through it. It told me that even though everything fell down around me things would pick up and that everything would be ok. I still listen to it and it always makes me feel better.

HOMEWORK FOR 2/6/09: **__ 1) After WW2 there was roughly 50 million people dead. This is double the population of Australia. Over 6 million Jews were killed. 2) According to [] a dictator is a person that is exercising absolute power, esp. a ruler who has absolute, unrestricted control in a government without hereditary succession. 3) Adolf Hitler and Joseph Stalin were both dictators. Adolf Hitler was from Germany and Joseph Stalin was from Russia. 4) The Iron Curtain was an imanginary boundary between the Nazi population and the rest of the world. The phrase was penned by German politician Lutz Graf Schwerin von Krosigk, and made popular by Winston Churchill who used it in a speech. - Excellent answer Anna, very thorough. 5) A labour camp was a place that Jewish people were sent to in WW2. Only Jewish people? A labor is place that Jewish people were forced to do manual labour. Hitler put the Jews in labour camps to kill them so he could make his perfect race. 6) Why did the Man let David escape? Maybe it was because he was a good person inside and didn't believe on the Nazi way of life or maybe it was because he wanted David to live.

Excellent answers Anna, You have really thought about the questions and you have used excerpts from the article to support your answers. Miss C.

__** HOMEWORK ON CHAPTER 1 **__ 1) The author likes to keep the reader in suspense because if we know everything at the start then we are unlikely to read on after that. 2) David hates the man because he believes that the man is a Nazi and he is the person responsible for the death of people close to him. His hatred is not justified because the man has set him free. The man has given him freedom and a fair chance of living. 3) According to [] paranioa means baseless or excessive suspicion of the motives of others. I believe that David is paranoid but he probably had a good reason to be paranoid. He was put a labor camp and I would not trust anyone either if I was in his position. 4) The moment of intense fear that David experiences on the way to Solonica is brought on by a memory of Johannes. Johannes was a Jew in the labor camp with David by he was killed. He was the only person that David befriended. Johannes symbolises a sense of hope that someday it will get better. Johannes says that he stay in Solonica because he believes that David will be fine with out him. David conquers this moment of fear by blocking Johannes out of his mind. 5) Emotionally David has moved a lot. He has gone from being cooped up like an animal to being free and this is a different experience for David. 6) David is a 12 year old child in a labor camp i n the nazi occupation is Europe. He is let free from the camp by a guard. He is trying to make his way to Denmark. He had a friend called Johannes that died in the camp. He had made his way to Italy and was left on an Italian beach by a Italian solider.

Washing himself is so important to David to prove he is no longer in the camp and he is his own person now, he is ruled by no-one.

Some words that indicate a change in David include: everything was washed away, the camp, the smell, its touch, he was David, his own master. -  Very well done.  3)<span style="font-size: 12pt; color: black; line-height: 115%; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-language: EN-AU; mso-ansi-language: EN-AU; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA;">David thought at one time he might be Jewish because the Nazi’s were putting all Jews in concentration or labor camp. 4)The men and women look the same because there is no food in the camps so everyone looks terribly <span style="font-size: 12pt; color: rgb(0,0,255); line-height: 115%; font-family: 'Arial Black', Gadget, sans-serif;"> [hugrey - hungry] <span style="font-size: 12pt; color: black; line-height: 115%; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;">.

His eyes are also downtrodden because he has been in the labor camp all of his life and he is very nervous of people. <span style="font-size: 12pt; color: rgb(0,0,0); line-height: 115%; font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif;"> Dictionary answers: 1) Intermingled: to mingle, on with another. 2) Lithe: bending readily. 3) Irresolutely: doubtful. 4) Irksome: annoying. 5) Intervals: an intervening period of time. 6) Spurs: a U -shaped device that slips over and straps to the heel of a boot and has a blunt, pointed, or roweled projection at the back for use by a mounted rider to urge a horse forward. 7) Verge: the edge or rim of something. 8) Clamber: to climb, using both hands and feet, to climb with effort or difficulty. 9) Credit: a source of pride or honour. 10) Arancia: this is a german word meaning orange. 11) Apfelsinen: this is a italian word meaning orange. 12) Intricate: complex. 13) Passionate: having strong emotions or strong feelings.

1) <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif';">David feels that he must still obey the man because he has helped him so much already that he owes it to the man to keep obeying him. 2) <span style="font-size: 11pt; line-height: 115%; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-ansi-language: EN-AU; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin; msofareastfontfamily: Calibri; msofareastlanguage: EN-US; msoansilanguage: EN-AU; msobidilanguage: AR-SA; msofareastthemefont: minor-latin;">A purpose that god serves to David is that god will show him were to go. The god that David chooses is one that can help him and he remembered Johannes telling him a story of this god. David loved Johannes and wants to follow his lead. The factor that David looks for the most in a god is someone that is going to help him keep a hold on his freedom. From his prayer you can tell that David regrets that he can’t do anything for god. From David’s choice of god you can tell that he wants a god that will not make too many demands and he wanted a god he knew something about. 3) <span style="font: 7pt 'Times New Roman'; color: red; mso-fareast-font-family: Boho; mso-bidi-font-family: Boho; msofareastfontfamily: Boho; msobidifontfamily: Boho; msolist: Ignore;"> <span style="color: red; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-language: EN-AU;">"... a strong impulse to do something quite voluntary for another person...

David has never had many of the feelings that he now has and now that he has those feelings, it feels so good he wants to share them by helping others.

This hypothesis is incorrect because the foresaid king or queen might be a dictator. - <span style="color: rgb(0,0,255); font-family: 'Arial Black', Gadget, sans-serif;">Excellent work Anna, this is very true. Miss Collis. 5) <span style="font: 7pt 'Times New Roman'; color: red; mso-fareast-font-family: Boho; mso-bidi-font-family: Boho; msofareastfontfamily: Boho; msobidifontfamily: Boho; msolist: Ignore;"> <span style="font-family: 'Boho','serif';">David cannot teach himself to smile because he has never had a reason to smile as he has been in a terrible place. 6) <span style="font: 7pt 'Times New Roman'; color: red; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; msofareastfontfamily: 'Times New Roman'; msolist: Ignore;"> <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif';">Before David meets Angelo he believed that all good people were smart. He thought this because the people on the outside of the camp must have more equalled views therefore they must be smart. He was puzzled because Angelo was not smart and then he dropped the view. 7) The prisoners had said “ <span style="color: black; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-language: EN-AU;">Don't tell the boy anything they may try to worm out of him afterwards?” because they didn’t want anyone to rat them out. This means that you never tell anyone anything because they could tell the guards. <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif;">8) When David <span style="color: rgb(0,0,255); font-family: 'Arial Black', Gadget, sans-serif;"> [meet - spelling] <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif;">the boy he doesn’t fight back because if he does he would be no better than the boy. He compares the boy to the guards at the camp because the guards would hurt you for no apparent reason and the boy is doing the same. <span style="font-size: 110%; color: rgb(255,0,0); font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;"> __Dictionary Definitions:__ 1) Exhausting: producing fatiuge. 2) Terrain: a tract of land. 3) Dispassionatly: disafected or free from passion. 4) Disconcerted: to interfear with the self possition. 5) Brevity: shortness of time. 6) Anxious: greatly worried. 7) Awkward: clumsy. 8) Ensnare: to capture in. 9) Sinister: thretening or evil. 10) Genuine: authentic. 11) Conspicuous: easily seen. 12) Lorries: truck. 13) Hostage:a person held for the fulfillment of a promise. 14) Daft: insane. 15) Succumed: give in.

**HOMEWORK ON CHAPTER 5 & 6** 1) Chapter 5 starts with an analysis of the word beautiful because David has never experienced beauty so for him to be able to define it is good. It also tells us what he feels for Maria. -<span style="color: rgb(0,0,255); font-family: 'Arial Black';">Excellent.  <span style="display: block; font-size: 110%; color: rgb(0,0,0); text-align: left;"> 2) The book had to be published before 1917 because in 1917 the Nazi's had taken over all the print press in Germany and it's surrounding nations. The event that shook the world in 1917 was that America declared war on Germany and the Nazi's. 3) David's hatred for Carlo is pure. According to [] pure means absolute, utter, clear. David's actions are not normal for a 12 year old boy because he has chosen not to use violence and to let his anger go. 4) Andrea's questions are more <span style="color: rgb(0,0,255); font-family: 'Arial Black';">[thretening - threatening] <span style="color: rgb(0,0,0); font-family: arial;">to David than Maria's because David trusts Maria wholeheartedly but he does not trust Andrea that much. 5) The children are aware that David is different but I don't think that they are quite sure how. They know that David is not very good at playing and that he won't play anything involing soilders. 6) Chapter 6 ends in a disussion about sorrow because David see's a picture of his mother and want's to know her story.
