My identity

  • Th first time I ever started playing football was when I was in reception/Year1 and we played a match vs the year 2s and I was let out to break first and I got a ball and toe punted it against the wall and from when I first played that match I loved football so much, anything from that day was just football I never wanted to miss anything to do with football and when I was playing in the park playing football my dad thought it would be good to play for a Sunday league team my joy for football grew even more and it also mad me better as a player, my Sunday league team was called Long Lane we used to win nearly every Sunday l, I loved the team and I had a lot of friends from their so it made me more comfortable in the team and it built up more confidence for me so this made me better aswell, the second season I had I was at my best I had ever been at my age at that time I had wore  yellow banana boots, my first tournament I had ever played in was at arsenal’s training ground, we had won the tournament and I got player of the tournament, over 100 boys were there and I had got Cesc fabregas’s boots and jack wilshere’s shirt. That was the tournament where I first got scouted for arsenal I didn’t really understand what that meant at the time until my dad had explained to me, so at this time I was still playing for my Sunday league team and was at arsenal aswell, a couple weeks later we had another tournament at this tournament I can’t really remember anything apart from getting scouted from Chelsea, West Ham, and Charlton, at this point nearly everyday I was playing football, about a month later all of those clubs had offered me a contract but we had turned down charlton and west ham this was a bit decision to make because if I didn’t get offered a contract at Chelsea or arsenal I was screwed my future  ruined in one decision later that week it was my last training session for Chelsea and arsenal the sky was looking grey and about to storm but luckily we were under the dome so we were covered up there were many scouts and coaches watching as they make decisions for who they think they can see potential in the future, this was for arsenal at the time and after that training session arsenal’s head of academy wanted to speak to me and my parents, at the time we didn’t know if this was gonna be good or bad was I gonna be offered a contract or released so as we travelled through rain and hail we reached the building and as we travelled up the stairs and entered his office, erveyone had butterflies and as we entered the room he said take a seat i had sweaty hands like never before and then he said my names Roy Massey the head of academy and we think as us  staff we see potential and we would like to other a contract, we were over the moon by there was one problem we still had to get wait for Chelsea because if Chelsea offered we had a big decision to make so Roy Massey understood the situation and said we can stall the offer So we shook hands and travelled back through the hail and rain as we reached the car were soaked my dad turnt up the heating and we were delighted to be offered a contract to one of the best team in England, later that day we got a text from Chelsea saying that we were offers a contract there for 2 years aswell, we had a big decision to make here do we go for Arsenal which is closer and easier to travel or go for Chelsea that my whole family supports the team I love, we had chose Chelsea so we had to tell Roy Massey we had accepted Chelsea and he said your welcome anytime, we understand, we felt bad for them but we couldn’t turn down Chelsea This opportunity would never come along again, Roy Massey invited us to the signing evening even though we wasn’t signing so we though that was nice and when we sat down everyone else who got offered a contact so we thought they might have put us in this signing evening to force us to sign because once you have signs there is no turning back as they were reading out the names we were praying that they didn’t call me name because we didn’t want to sign for Arsenal they were reading and reading and we couldn’t take it have we fallen into a trap? We thought this was it signing for a team we didn’t want to sign for, they get to the final three names the stress was real, they got to the last name and they didn’t call out my name we were relieved so as we left the building we shook Roy Masseys hand for the possibly the last time, we were quite sad because everything that they had done for us and now we have just left but on the bright side we were planning a future at Chelsea.

 

i think the play is anti Semitic, anti Semitic is when there is discrimination towards Jews for example in the play when Shylock looses his daughter, he starts morning about his money, so Shakespeare is trying to say that Jews are not nice people, also Shakespeare tries to make the play as a comedy but we see it as a tragedy and in the play Shakespeare always makes the Jews look like the untreated ones, Antonio (Christian) spits on Shylock (Jew) so it shows that in the play there was no respect  towards the Jews. Antonio asks Shylock for three thousand ducats, Shylock is convinced he shouldn’t give Antonio the money because, Antonio is treating Shylock with no respect, for example Antonio calls Shylock a dog and Antonio blanks Shylock when Shylock is trying to talk to Antonio. Also in the play in the play Jessica (Shylock’s daughter) is getting asked by Lorenzo to get married with him but, Jessica doesn’t know that Lorenzo is trying to take Jessica for granted because she has a lot of money also if she does get married she would have to change from a Jew to a Christian and as Jessica is Shylock’s only daughter he would feel betrayed as he feels Christians don’t treat Jew’s with as much respect as they should do. As Shylock feels like Christians don’t treat jews with respect, Shylock says to Antonio why everyone should be treated the same, Shylock says, “if you tickle us do we not laugh?”, “if you poison us do we not die?”, so Shylock is saying that just because your a Christian and i’m a Jew we should mistreat each other, he is saying we are all the same in what is happening to us, whatever happens to you has the same effect on what Shylock has. Rhetorical questions are also in the merchant of Venice, when Antonio asks for the money Shylock says “you call misbeliever, cut throat dog, and spat upon my Jewish gabardine, and for use of that which is mine , now it appears you need my help” , Shylock is handing out reasons not to give Antonio any money, Shakespeare in the play wants to express that Christians have power and show victory over the Jews, I know this because as Shakespeare was the writer of this book and Shakespeare was a christian himself, throughout the play he wants everyone to feel the emotion of a Jew and he wants everyone to know that Christians are in control, but their could be a reason why Shakespeare was doing this, there were roomers that Jews were responsible for poisoning wells, killing christian children, spreading the plague disease and moloposhing finance, this could be true but Jews shouldn’t be treated how Shylock is because it wasn’t every Jew it was only the horrible ones. Christians would also be horrible to, as nobody is perfect they also made mistakes, Christians would expel Jews from where they are comfortable and where they live and are settled down. Jews also suffered from some nasty things such as forced conversations, book burning property and being burnt alive. During the play Jessica says she would never marry the prince if morocco even if the guy was a saint because she knows that he has a dark complexion like the devil, so the message getting put across here is that Jessica knows that he looks all nice from the outside but deep down she knows that he is as nasty as a devil. The prince of morocco is black and he think it is bad to be black because he describes himself as a black uniform and its like carrying around a shadow. People in Shakespeare day would have accepted anti semetic comments and stuff because it was part of an everyday life, as there weren’t many Jew’s around in Shakespeare’s time. Also in  the second act Launcelot is considering serving someone else, he is Shylock’s server Launcelot says that Shylock is a devil incranation, when Antonio asks for the money many people suggest that he might be bloodthirsty as Shylock says I give you the money you can give me a pound of your flesh. this is because it is heared that Jews used to eat Human Flesh. During the Shylock’s heart is broken by Jessica because she goes to marry Lorenzo and helps herself to her dads Ducats (Shylock) and steals some of the family jewels. In the second act Lorenzo insults Shylock by saying to Jessica if your dad makes it to heaven it is because Jessica transferred from a Jew to a christian this suggests the fact that if you were in Venice at that time you had to be a Christian to go to heaven, also this play is anti semetic because in Shakespeares times anti semitism was funny for the audience wheare as know everyone would see this play as racist and not funny. So this is shown as anti semitism because Shakespeare suggests that we are meant to laugh at the Jews.

World War 3

It all happened on a cold blustery night, bad news broke out throughout the world. Sky news broke out news nobody would ever think of, this was terrible what was everyone going to do about it?

the”World War 3 is due to break out in 2 weeks, we have Had reports from syria that they are planning air strikes heading UK’s way.”

The civilians in the street was running around in panic knowing that the arising situation was going to change their lives forever. Young Hagrid walked down the street in misery and watched as an army truck wized past him with around 80 people on it all cramped and costraphopic.

 

In this picture I can see a really dark and gloomy town, it looks very spooky. All you can see is dusty grey clouds with horrific robotic birds swirling around each other. You can see a mixture of lights on and off making it mixed emotions. On the floor it looks wet and gloomy

On the bridge was a silver Bentley, it is moving very smoothly as it’s gliding across the floor, the rims were spinning around.

Also there are security guards, they’re watching the silky silver Bentley pass by, they’re are protecting the Bentley, making sure nothing happened to it.
