What was the message of this song:
John Lennon message in his song is saying war does not solve all problem but if you " give peace a chance" it may be a better solution to solve all the problems. (such as the Vietnam war).

SEXXXY Paragraph
How Film aspects show meaning in John. G. Avildsen's film "The Power of One".
S: In the concert scene, we hear the native South Africans sing a song in their language that was written by P.K., the main character.
E: The joyful song was lead by a native singer and the rest of the tribes sung harmoniously, whilst Doc played the piano and P.K. composed.
X: The song made the audience feel hopeful and it was moving. This was because P.K., through the singing - brought the tribes together.
X: The purpose of this was to help show that P.K. was the mythical figure of the Rain-Maker.
X: The singing combines with long shots that also shows the harmony of the natives as they are all sitting nicely together.
Y. The singing can be compared to the singing at the boxing match, as the now freed natives sing to P.K. to show him they think he is the Rain-Maker. Both lots of singing give a sense of hope for the native South Africans.
Perspectives of the people of NZ - The Beatles
Perspectives - The Beatles
Some people wanted the Beatles to come to NZ and some of them didn't because of cultural purposes. Today I will be discussing the difference of perspectives of the Beatles tour to NZ.

Neutralisation
Aim: To observe a neutralisation reaction.
Method:
- Get a test tube rack, 6 test tubes, acid, base and universal indicator.
- Fill 4 test tubes with 3mL of acid.
- Fill 2 test tubes with 3mL of base.
- Add a squirt of universal indicator to each.
- Add different amounts of acid and base to make the colours of the rainbow (ROYGBIV).
Results:
Red bottle: acid
Blue bottle: base
Black bottle behind the test tubes: UI (universal indicator).
Discussion: As you can see from the results, we have made a rainbow using bases and acids forgot to mention the UI (universal indicator) ROYGBIV is what we used to determine the scale of pH such as Red a strong acid, green neutral which means water and finally indigo a strong base, neutralisation is when acid and base fight/mix together so that they can form into the green zone (to make is a pH of 7) that is what we did in the photo you see above, in the Base, there are hydroxide ions (OH-) and in the acid, there are hydrogen ions (H+). We had to add more or less of the opposing side (base & acid) to make these colours, and now I will tell you the pH scale of all of these colours shown in the picture, Orange/yellow 2 - 5 pH scale and blue/indigo 8 - 12.
Conclusion: In the end, we got pretty solid colours in our test tubes, our results were pretty colourful, unfortunately, we couldn't do violet because our equipment wasn't strong enough so we could only make ROYGBI, but next time I could try and make the colour violet in one of the test tubes.
