cheers bro, just tried to incorporate some of that into my essay, however im not sure how i should approach adding something [hide] The first scene is set in a fairly large house with good furniture and silverware, showing the Birlings wealth, cigar box and cigarettes This shows wealth because in those times these items were expensive. Simply showing this to the audience puts across a presence of greatness and/or wealth. Priestley writes a page and a half a page of stage directions to set the right scene, writing about small details such as cigar boxes to help give the image of a wealthy Edwardian family household. [/hide] should i include the highlighted bit, rewrite it, or completly scrap it.

Hey guys, couldn't really think of anyone else to help me with this as my teacher seems to be pointing me in the wrong direction whenever I ask for help. anyway, I need help with my English essay that my teacher keeps saying needs to meet my target of a B, but this re-draft which I have done is still at a D. I can't remember the questions (stupid me) but it is something like, how does Priestley show the ignorance of Edwardians in their time" or something like that, trying to find it out right now. [hide=Essay] This is still a grade D essay. I have added prompts for your next re-draft Connor – more text evidence and analysis needed for your target grade - B grade. An Inspector Calls Priestley's play, 'An Inspector Calls' is a play about a rich, well off family and how they are all involved in the suicide of Eva Smith. It is set in the town of Brumley, an industrial city in the Northern Midlands in 1912, but was first played on stage in 1946, October 1st. In 1912 women were seen as cheap labour and less of a person than a man. The characters include Arthur Birling, Sybil Birling, Sheila Birling, Eric Birling, Edna, Gerald Croft and Inspector Goole. Each of these characters brings something unique to the play, with Mr Birling being the typical Edwardian wealthy male, and Edna being the typical maid. The first scene is set in a fairly large house with good furniture and silverware, showing the Birling’s wealth. Priestley writes a page and a half a page of stage directions to set the right scene, writing about small details such as cigar boxes to help give the image of a wealthy Edwardian family household. “Cigar box and cigarettes”. The fact that they have a cigar box which shows wealth, they also have cigarettes aswell. The lighting is set as 'pink and intimate' until the inspector arrives in which it becomes bright and hard. The pink and intimate lighting shows a calm scene, bringing two families together. However the bright and hard lighting seems harsh and interrogating when the inspector arrives. This shows the interrogating nature of the inspector, and how he seems to quickly intrude a family’s life. Priestley uses Mr Birling and the Inspector as metaphors. Mr Birling is a very narrow minded man and believes in his point of view very strongly, even if he is wrong. A quote showing this is "I say there isn’t a chance of war". This shows his arrogance because he instantly dismisses the fact that there may actually be a chance of war happening, this makes the audience think that Mr Birling is very narrow minded. The Inspector is pretty much the opposite in that he is trying to make people more open minded about their actions, when he says “are you sure you don’t know?”. This asks the characters involved to think hard about what they have done and how it may have affected other people other than just themselves. Is this then like a morality play questioning peoples actions and motives? Mr and Mrs Birling show a high social class who like to show off their wealth, eg with “cigar box”, which is what many middle class people during that era would do. Sheila and Eric show the new generation who think more about other people. “And if I could help her now I would”, unlike their peers, which is a key thing about coming out of the Edwardian era. For example, Mr Birling doesn’t believe he has any part in Eva's death, but Sheila and Eric are more open minded to how they might have been involved. Dramatic irony, is when the audience knows something but the characters do not, is shown a lot through Mr Birling. His thoughts are what he strongly believes in, even if he is wrong. An example would be when he says "you'll hear people say war is inevitable. And to that I say - fiddlesticks!" As we all know WW1 started in 1914, 2 years after this play is set. The audience knows this happens and can see Mr Birling's ignorance about how he thinks war is inevitable and how he believes the Titanic is "unsinkable, absolutely unsinkable!", he did this to show the ignorance of the wealthy Edwardians or to use Mr Birling as a metaphor? . Priestley did this to get people to realise that every action you do will have an impact, good or bad, on someone else, which is not what the wealthy Edwardian people believed. The audience sees foreshadowing from Sheila because she seems to be able to tell what people did in their part of Eva Smith's death. For example, she knows that Gerald already knew her when the inspector questions him. Before he even admits she already knows about it. She also foretells that the inspector already knows all their secrets. "why - you fool - he knows... you'll see". This gives the effect of uneasiness on other characters involved, making them think that the inspector already knows everything, but he wants them to find them out for themselves with a little prompting. Priestley uses Mr Birling to show the Edwardian social problems. He uses Mr Birling because he thinks of himself and only his self, “no, we won’t”, Explain where this quote comes from – context. E.g. When he is talking to ... in Act... which only amplifies his ignorance. Which is why the poor in those days were left to starve in the streets. He also uses stage directions such as the attention to light detail. I think the most effective method is using Mr Birling to show the ignorance and arrogance of the Edwardian Era and how people above your status are respected, and the people below are looked upon as vermin. Priestley set the play in 1912 because he felt people needed to change, and take more responsibility for their actions, and know what they do might affect someone else. He did this when the ww2 had just happened, just to prove a point. Because the wars started because of different countries, and England got dragged into it because of what someone else did. What point are you making here? Focus on the play. More needed on Sheila and the Rights of Women. Also make your comments link to the question – How does Priestley show the social concerns of the era? [/hide] I have highlighted what my teacher wrote in red, can anyone give me any example of what to put where highlighted? Thanks in advance.

How many adamant bolts shall I buy then, if anyone would like to work it out

Hi Guys. Sorry about me being INCREDIBLY LAZY but i know some of you may have a program/software that can work this out quickly rather than me writing down many things. I'm currently 83 Fletching and debating over 99 over the course of the double exp weekend. Mr friend suggested just buying yew logs and cutting. Or should I cut AND String? Or should I do adamant bolts? using these methods, and the quickly declining multiplied xp, how much exp can I get for each section of the double exp weekend? If you can't understand sorry, what i mean is. using each method, how much exp can I expect to get during the 2.7x period all the way down to 1.1x at maximum concentration. Thanks for your time PS, will the sacred clay knife stack?

ah, I hope its patched soon then :(

Dazzle capture Card. Extra questions.
Animaslayer replied to Animaslayer's topic in Tech and Computers
thanks I'll check some out, and to the guy above WMM didn't delete my video, if you want one clip from a 2 hour video you have to delete all the parts around it (tedious) or turn it into clips which can be tedious also if you want 1 bit. -
if all your bothered about is talking to your friends then why buy turtle beaches. they are made for hearing sounds your tv cant make loud enough. whats wrong with a bog standard mic if thats all you want?

Dazzle capture Card. Extra questions.
Animaslayer replied to Animaslayer's topic in Tech and Computers
yes but with WMM you have to delete the rest of the video around it which I don't want. also your let me google it for you ended up with my entire desktop being wiped, including all the clips and stuff I was using on the video so thanks for losing me over 8 hours of work and many documents. -

Animaslayer replied to Animaslayer's topic in Tech and Computers
while the reply is appreciated, doing something I could of easily done myself with added sarcasm, unfortunately, is not :( I meant I needed something that could cut out clips from longer videos and still be able to make a decent video out of it. -
I love being able to now record my CoD matches, but I would like some answers to these questions if anyone could help. the only thing I can edit with, as far as I know, is windows movie maker. However I can record in colour which Isn't natural for my dazzle as I had to download some extra things, I was just wondering is there any software bare sony vegas that i can edit my video with. just the basic cutting sections out of long strips in colour will do :)

But void is a 15% accuracy bonus isn't it. And I know melee is faster but it requires more concentration which I couldn't be bothered with last night
-
Hey just a quick question, just read on the rs wiki that void isn't useful at steel dragons and things like armadyl etc shoul be used instead for better bonuses. Surely the +15% on void is better?
-
on my list i have black dragons (may unblock soon) bloodvelds ( boring as hell and always crowded, other place is annoying to get too) kalphites (bore me and i dislike cannon) something else i cant quite remember i suggest unblocking hellounds if you can use kuradel though, seeing as tho you can easily walk in and out to aggresify them and get a new task

I don't have an enhance excalibur, otherwise i probably would. But recently bringing a spec weapon for me has just been anoying as it takes up invent space for something i forget to use
-
yes, but they can hit through prayer and are either at gwd (annoying + a while from bank) or the plaine (i have no experience here but i bet throne room is better) and yes DK's may have a steady drop rate, but I get bored rather easy and prefer to solo anything
