2.What is a “dictator”? A dictator is a person who has a lot of power and a lot of control over people like the government.

3. List the two dictators mentioned in this selection, and the countries of which they were the leaders. The two dictators in this selection are Adolph Hitler and Joseph Stalin. Adolph Hitler is the leader of Germany and Joseph Stalin is the leader of Soviet Union.

4.Who first seid the expression “iron curtain”? What is meant by an “iron curtain” ? Churchill first used the expression “iron curtain” in his big speech about East Europe being separated from the rest of Europe.

5.What is a “labour camp”? Who was put into labour camps? By whom? Why is David in a labour camp? A labour camp is a place where Adolph Hitler would lock up all the people who were different to him and make them do pointless work. The Jews were mainly put in labour camp. I think David is in a labour camp because he has something that Hitler does not like. example = Dark hair Dark eyes ext.  6. In the year 1952 how many people were in labour camp in the Soviet Union? In the year 1952 there were two and a half million people in the Soviet Union labour camp.

<span style="color: black; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-language: EN-AU; mso-bidi-font-size: 18.0pt;">1. As in most novels, the first chapter introduces the character and sets the scene for what is to follow. But what you are told in the first chapter of I Am David is some- what mysterious, even outright confusing. A snippet of information here, a tantali- zing bit there. Why does the author do that? Why doesn't she tell you outright who David is and where he is? <span style="color: red; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-language: EN-AU; mso-bidi-font-size: 18.0pt;">The author does this because if she does tell you who david is and were he is it would be like telling you the whole meaning of the story. <span style="color: black; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-language: EN-AU; mso-bidi-font-size: 18.0pt;"> 2. Why does David hate the man? Does this hatred seem justified, considering what the man is doing for him? Explain. <span style="color: red; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-language: EN-AU; mso-bidi-font-size: 18.0pt;">David hates the man because of the way he has treated him in the labour camp. Yes I think it is fare of David to hate the man, because if the man was good he would have tried to help David out of the labour camp before now. <span style="color: black; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-language: EN-AU; mso-bidi-font-size: 18.0pt;"> 3. Look up the word paranoid. Would you call David paranoid? Explain by giving examples that might explain David's odd behaviour. <span style="color: red; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-language: EN-AU; mso-bidi-font-size: 18.0pt;">Yes I would call David paranoid. I think David is paranoid because he is always thinking the things that can go wrong not the things that can go to plan and he is always worrying about <span style="font-size: 8pt; color: red; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-language: EN-AU; mso-bidi-font-size: 18.0pt;">them <span style="font-size: 16pt; color: red; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-language: EN-AU; mso-bidi-font-size: 18.0pt;"> <span style="color: red; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-language: EN-AU; mso-bidi-font-size: 18.0pt;">and that they might catch him. <span style="color: black; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-language: EN-AU; mso-bidi-font-size: 18.0pt;"> 4. In the truck, on his way to Salonica, David experiences a moment of intense fear. How does this sudden fear come about? How does David conquer it? Who is Johannes? What does he symbolize? Why does Johannes "stay behind in Salonica"? <span style="color: red; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-language: EN-AU; mso-bidi-font-size: 18.0pt;">This sudden fear comes about David by being scared of what happened to Johannes that it might happen to him. I do not know how David conquers it. Johannes is a very good friend that David met and lost in the labour camp. I think Johannes symbolizes strength and courage. Johannes stays behind in Salonica because he wants David to go on by himself and not fear the worst.

Geographically, David has moved from wherever the camp is, to Italy.

 * My Responsability **



<span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt; msobidifontsize: 11.0pt;">In the movie Happy feet we are shown the responsibility the father penguins are given when caring for “the egg”. Memphis accidently drops Mumble before he hatched resulting in feelings of guilt when Mumble turns out different to all the other baby penguins. Write down a true story you have experienced when in a similar situation in which you were given a huge amount of responsibility. How did you feel how did it end. My Story I had a friend Emma over and we were supposed to be cooking mash potato for tea. Emma and I put the pot on and went and watched TV. We had been watching this show for about an hour and had completely forgotten about the potatoes, that is until we smelt something burning me and Emma were walking around trying to fund were the smell was coming from we soon found out it was the potatoes and I quickly turned on the stove and put the pot on the sink. When I took the lid off the whole pot was black and there were black lumps sitting in the pot stuck to the bottom. Emma and I decided not to tell my mum and dad instead we cooked another pot full and scrubbed the pot which we shoved to the back of the cupboard so mum wouldn’t see it. When tea time came the second batch of potatoes were a success. Even though everything turned out fine I felt of guilt and shame. After that when I have been cooking tea I have not left the kitchen and nothing has gone wrong yet.

I hope that the days come easy and the moments pass slow, And each road leads you where you want to go, And if you're faced with a choice, and you have to choose, I hope you choose the one that means the most to you. And if one door opens to another door closed, I hope you keep on walkin' till you find the window, If it's cold outside, show the world the warmth of your smile,

But more than anything, more than anything, My wish, for you, is that this life becomes all that you want it to, Your dreams stay big, and your worries stay small, You never need to carry more than you can hold, And while you're out there getting where you're getting to, I hope you know somebody loves you, and wants the same things too, Yeah, this, is my wish.

I hope you never look back, but ya never forget, All the ones who love you, in the place you left, I hope you always forgive, and you never regret, And you help somebody every chance you get, Oh, you find God's grace, in every mistake, And you always give more than you take.

But more than anything, yeah, and more than anything, My wish, for you, is that this life becomes all that you want it to, Your dreams stay big, and your worries stay small, You never need to carry more than you can hold, And while you're out there getting where you're getting to, I hope you know somebody loves you, and wants the same things too, Yeah, this, is my wish.

I think the artist Rascal Flatts main message was to go and follow your dream, be the person you want to be and that your dream is no further away than you think it is. I think Rascal wrote this kind of song for people to realise that, life should be about making choices and having memories that can help you through your life, to get your wish. If I ever got the chance to met Rascal Flatts I would imagine him to be a man with hope, passion and kindness. <span style="font-size: 12pt; color: red; line-height: 115%; font-family: 'Verdana','sans-serif'; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-language: EN-AU; mso-bidi-font-size: 16.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman';">Why I chose this song: <span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; font-family: 'Verdana','sans-serif'; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-language: EN-AU; mso-bidi-font-size: 16.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman';">The reason I chose this song was because, I can really relate to the song and the message Rascal Flatts is trying to pass across. This song is all about what I’am trying to succeed. When I grow up I want to write songs and this is the kind of songs I wish to write. Ones that relate to the real world and songs that can help people through their journey. This song when I listen to it gives me hope and a warning of what I should hold on to and be grateful for. That’s why this song My Wish by Rascal Flatts is my soal song it inspires me!
