archimage_a Posted May 10, 2012 Share Posted May 10, 2012 Bake a cake and offer peices of cake to the judges, and if asked say "The complex interaction between bacteria, organic protiens and plant extracts, makes baking a cake a masterclass in chemistry." Alternatively, make some cheese. Also: If a sharp point is attached to the dome of a VandeGraaff generator, the point will spew charged wind. If you stand in this air stream, it will charged your clothing and hair, which will start clinging to your body. Which will make you feel like you've been dipped in vegetable oil.Thusly, aim it at people (or if you are feeling less cruel, aim it at a 'Stand here' sign.) and science experiment, AWAY. More evil:Take a large crowd of children out into the sunshine and give each one a 20cm square mirror. Show them how to aim all of their little spots of sunlight at the same distant object, then stand back and see what they do. Better yet, run away. http://www.uzzisoft..../archimage.jpegWell I knew you wouldn't agree. I know how you hate facing facts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Earth Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 The french thing is easy, but it's the paper I'm ahving trouble with. I have to make a thesis based on books I've read this year like Night or All Quiet on the Western Front and come up with a literature based thesis. Which is very hard, seeing as I haven't the foggiest idea of how to make it work right.

Earth Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 Problem is I don't understand German. So I wouldn't know how much was lost or what meanings were screwed with. I could try something else, like what caused the author of All Quiet to write about his experiences in the way that he did.

archimage_a Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 According to Remarque, soldiers avoided thoughts of thepast, of civilian life, because this led to distress. This led todeterring, one of Pauls comrades, deserting. He was finallybroken by the sight of blossom on a tree that reminded him ofhis home on the farm. He disappeared and was not heard ofagain, with the implication that the provosts had caught andshot him."Traumatic events do lead Paul to think about the past.When his school-friend Kemmerich died of wounds:Thoughts of girls, of flowery meadows, of white cloudssuddenly come into my head ... I feel my joints strong, Ibreathe the air deeply. The night lives, I live. I feel ahunger, greater than comes from the belly alone. (p. 27)." It is not possible to portray emotional reality in words.Remarque describes how people who have not experiencedwar cannot understand war; he does this through his treatmentof civilians in the novel, particularly when Paul is athome on leave:"Suddenly my Mother seizes hold of my hand and asksfalteringly: Was it very bad out there Paul?.Mother, what should I answer to that! You would notunderstand, you could never realise it.And you never shallrealise it. (p. 107108)." Dehumanising the enemy is essential to ensure that thesoldier can perform effectively. If Paul treated the enemy asfellow human beings, they would not be effective soldiers;they would be unable to go out and kill the enemy if they forone moment perceived they were human. But this can happen:"Under one of the helmets a dark pointed beard and twoeyes that are fastened on me. I raise my hand, but I cannotthrow into those strange eyes. (p. 78)."The breakdown of dehumanisation is best illustrated in thescene where Paul is trapped in a shell hole in no-mans-landwith a French soldier he has wounded:"You were only an idea to me before, an abstraction thatlived in my mind and called forth its appropriate response.It was an abstraction I stabbed. But not, for the first time, Isee you are a man like me. (p. 147)." http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0924933804000860(Have to buy...Would post more, but copyright law and such...)

The first one only needs to be about two pages, and since a playscript is mainly dialogue you don't need to worry about description/metaphors and such. Just decide on a story and write it as a playscript, I made it for you to show you how easy it is. I didn't put much effort in, this is why the dialogue is cheesy. [hide]A fox and a wolf are in a zoo, they are seperated by some thin iron bars and each have some food in the corner. Fox: Don't eat me wolf! Wolf: Oh, I won't. I've been trained to be more friendly towards other animals. Besides, I just had my lunch! Fox: Haha, that is good. Wolf: So, do you want to get out of this zoo. Fox: Yes I would. Wolf: Okay, I have a plan: what we need to do is to wait till the zoo-keeper comes than we run out and head for the forest! Fox: Good idea. The two wolves wake up early, they see the zoo-keeper coming at them with a bucket full of [fish/meat/wolf-food] Wolf: Are you ready, Fox? Fox: Sure am! The zoo-keeper opens the door to the Fox and suddenly the Fox jumps over him and locks the door behind him. Fox opens the door for wolf and they both run to the forest as planned.Scene cuts to them fishing by a river. Wolf: This was a good idea, but that zoo-keeper was really nice to us and we don't have as much food as we did in the wild. We now have to work for our food. Fox: I like it, I feel really free Wolf: Yeah, haha me too. Fox: We're such a pair! Wolf: We sure are! Bear: I've been watching you two!Both the fox and the wolf look shocked, the bear smiles. Bear: In the forest, we all try to help everybody out. Here, have this fish. The bear throws a fish at the two. They both eat it quickly Fox & Wolf (in unison): Thankyou Bear! Bear: Call me Harold Fox & Wolf (in unison): Thankyou Harold! Bear: Let me introduce you to all the other animals, above me is bird Bird: Tweet Bear: To my left is turtle Turtle: (slowly) hellloooo..... Bear: And if you want, you're welcome to come to my house whenever you want for lunch! the bear smiles Wolf: We'll come today, actually. the bear frowns Bear: Oh, today. I'm pretty busy today. Wolf: Oh. Bear: Don't worry, I'll cancel my plans. Wolf: We don't want to impose. Fox: Yeah Bear: No, it's okay. I was just going to see the ballet with my wife but I'm sure she'll understand.

Fox: Yeah, I can't eat this. Bear: I know, sorry I'll get you something else. Fox: Good, glad that's settled. Wolf: (whispering) He should have asked. Fox: (whispering) I know, how rude fo him. Bear: [shouting] there may be a wait, Fox. Fox: Oh. Bear: Sorry. Fox: Oh, that's okay. I'll just watch these people eat. Bear: I'm very sorry. Fox: Glad of it, doesn't make my meal come any quicker. Bear: Sorry, working on it now. Wolf: (whispering) I think we should just leave and go back to the zoo, I didn't realise people could be this rude. Fox: I agree, Bear is an idiot. Didn't even think to ask if I was a vegan. Wolf: Bear, look. This is embarrasing for you. You have been so rude to Fox. Fox bursts into tears Bear: I'm sorry, I didn't think to ask. Fox: (blubbering) How could you have not thought to ask you monster! Bear: I'm sorry, I'm really sorry. Wolf: Let's just leave. Bear: Sorry, I'm so sorry. Fox: Bye. Tortoise: Iiii aaaamm leeeeaaaavvviiinnngggg toooooooo, Beaaaaaarrr. Fox: See, everybody is sick of your bullying Bear. Wolf: He was just trying to make a point, he's a bad animal.
