ENGLISH: INVISIBLE MAN vs THE STRANGE TALE OF DR. JEKYLL AND HYDE

The invisible man is a novella by H.G Wells. It was published in 1897. The novella features a mysterious man called Griffin who arrives in West Sussex.  Who demands to be left alone and spends most of his time in his rooms working with a set of chemicals and laboratory apparatus, only going out at night. The townspeople think he is strange.
Meanwhile, a burglary occurs in the village. Griffin is running out of money and is trying to find a way to pay for his board and lodging.When his landlady demands that he pay his bill and quit the premises, he reveals part of his invisibility to her. 
Griffin coerces a tramp, Thomas Marvel, into becoming his assistant.he returns to the village to recover three notebooks that contain records of his experiments.When Marvel attempts to betray the Invisible Man to the police, Griffin chases him to the seaside town of Port Burdock, threatening to kill him. Marvel escapes to a local inn and is saved by the people at the inn, but Griffin escapes. Marvel later goes to the police and tells them of this "invisible man," then requests to be locked up in a high-security jail.
Griffin's furious attempt to avenge his betrayal leads to his being shot. He takes shelter in a nearby house that turns out to belong to Dr Kemp, a former acquaintance from medical school. To Kemp, he reveals his true identity: the Invisible Man is Griffin, a former medical student who left medicine to devote himself to optics.
Griffin tells Kemp of the story of how he became invisible.Griffin burned down the boarding house he was staying in, along with all the equipment he used to turn invisible, to cover his tracks; but he soon realised that he was ill-equipped to survive in the open.Kemp has already denounced Griffin to the local authorities and is waiting for help to arrive as he listens to this wild proposal.
Griffin uses Kemp's gun to shoot and injure a local policeman who comes to Kemp's aid. Griffin is seized, assaulted, and killed by a mob. The Invisible Man's naked, battered body gradually becomes visible as he dies.
In the epilogue, it is revealed that Marvel has secretly kept Griffin's notes but is completely incapable of understanding them.

The strange tale of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde is a novella by Robert Louis Stevenson. It was published on  5 January 1886. The novella is about a lawyer named Mr Utterson going for a walk with his friend and relative Mr Enfield. They walk past a door, which somehow prompts Mr Enfield to tell a sad story: a brute of a man knocked down a little girl, everyone yelled at the rude man, and the man offered to pay a lot of money. The nasty man? None other than Mr Hyde. 
Mr Utterson, it turns out, is Dr Jekyll’s lawyer, and we find out that in the event of Dr Jekyll’s death or disappearance, his entire estate is to be turned over to Mr Hyde. Mr Utterson, who thinks highly of Dr Jekyll, is extremely suspicious of this whole arrangement. 
He hunts down Mr Hyde and is suitably impressed with the evil just oozing out of his pores.
Cut to "nearly a year later." A prominent politician is brutally beaten to death. The murder is conveniently witnessed by a maid, who points to evil-oozing Mr Hyde as the culprit. Everyone tries to hunt down this evil man, but with no success. Meanwhile, Dr Jekyll is in great health and spirits; he entertains his friends, gives dinner parties, and attends to his religious duties.Two months later, both Dr Lanyon and Dr Jekyll fall terribly ill and claim to have irrevocably quarrelled with each other. Dr Lanyon dies, leaving mysterious documents in Mr Utterson’s possession, to be opened only if Dr Jekyll dies or disappears. Dr Jekyll remains in seclusion, despite frequent visits from Mr Utterson.Finally, one evening, Dr Jekyll’s butler visits Mr Utterson at home. He’s worried about his master and is convinced of foul play. The Butler persuades Mr Utterson to return to Dr Jekyll’s house, where they break into Dr Jekyll’s laboratory. They find Mr Hyde dead on the floor, with Dr Jekyll nowhere to be found.Mr Utterson finds several documents left to him and goes back home to read both Mr Lanyon’s narrative and Dr Jekyll’s narrative, which, it turns out, are two parts of the same story.

SHORT TEXT
SONG: HOW TO SAVE A LIFE

Lyrics
Step one, you say, "We need to talk."

He walks, you say, "Sit down. It's just a talk."

He smiles politely back at you
You stare politely right on through
Some sort of window to your right
As he goes left and you stay right
Between the lines of fear and blame
You begin to wonder why you came

Where did I go wrong? I lost a friend

Somewhere along in the bitterness

And I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life

Let him know that you know best

'Cause after all you do know best

Try to slip past his defense
Without granting innocence
Lay down a list of what is wrong
The things you've told him all along
Pray to God, he hears you
And I pray to God, he hears you

And where did I go wrong? I lost a friend

Somewhere along in the bitterness

And I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life

As he begins to raise his voice

You lower yours and grant him one last choice

Drive until you lose the road
Or break with the ones you've followed
He will do one of two things
He will admit to everything
Or he'll say he's just not the same
And you'll begin to wonder why you came

Where did I go wrong? I lost a friend

Somewhere along in the bitterness

And I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life

Where did I go wrong? I lost a friend

Somewhere along in the bitterness

And I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life

How to save a life


How to save a life


Where did I go wrong? I lost a friend

Somewhere along in the bitterness

And I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life

Where did I go wrong? I lost a friend

Somewhere along in the bitterness

And I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life
How to save a life

How to save a life



I choose this song because it has strong and meaningful lyrics that are extremely moving and help people suffering through had times in live. I believe this song is important because in this day and age very few songs have a great emotional concept that are inspiring to people who listen.
This song is a great song because I makes me understand that everybody has different feeling and that even when a person is upset they should have happiness.
The song features around a boy who has lost his friends and is going through depression. He lost his best friend. And the attempts people made to try and save him.

MOVIE:
Wonder Woman (2017) is a movie directed by Patty Jenkins. The movie is about a girl called Diana of the Thermyscira, who is the princess of the Amazons trained to be a warrior. But when an American pilot tells her about the conflict that is raging around the world. Fighting alongside men in a war to end all wars. When she becomes Wonder Woman.

This movie is built on a strong concept of love although the movie.Diana grows and understands, love a lot from the beginning and end.In the beginning, she is raised as a princess on an island of only female warriors training to become a warrior but after meeting Steve Trevor she ends up learning to love him and the world even in the mists of world war one.while at the end she is in a battle with Ares, he was encouraging her to help destroy human life. As Steve sacrifices himself to save millions. she becomes angry with the world and kills Germans until she remembers Trevor's last works confessing his love to her. " It's not about deserved, it's about what you believe in and I believe in love." proving that she has grown to love humans even from their sins because she believes that they can love and to cherish that. The quote makes me realise what I could have done differently in life because it proves that she has grown to love and forgive even after they made her lose Steve. It makes me remember when someone has wronged me and I didn't forgive them know that forgiving them would be better than not, she did the opposite she let go of her grudge to help more than herself but others more important.The quote also makes me realise that you don't have to deserve love to earn it and that you may not deserve the love you get but cherish it because they would have given it to you if they didn't believe in you.

"I learned that in every one of them, there will be both, a choice each makes for themselves something a hero will never defeat and now I know that only love can truly save the world . . . . . ." This Quote is from one of the scenes that I find most emotional because she is looking back at her past and realising that even that her lover has died, there is still humanity in people. I find this scene emotional because of her love for humanity and that she believes that even in times of war the one thing everyone has in common is their ability to love. I like this quote because It makes me realise that we are both good and evil but it our choices that makes us who we are and that we are responsible for our own action and who we become.
This story is relatable to me on a more personal level as I would go to extreme lengths to love and cherish want I have and that I love the things I have before it was gone. The thing I have in common with this movie is that we would fight for love and that we try are best to protect the thing we have.The movie is about love, tragedy, and forgiveness. I enjoy this movie because of her love that she proves to show throw this movie.I understand when she has to step our of her own land to obtain the strength to help the people.

SCIENCE: acids and bases

SCIENCE
HOW TO MAKE SALT USING METALS,SOLOUBLE BASES OR INSOLUBLE CARBONATES.
AIM: to produce copper sulfate salt by reacting copper oxide with an acid.


EQUIPERMENT: copper oxide powder, dilute (1.0 mol L-1) sulfate acid, 50 ml measuring cylinder, two 100 ml beakers, Bunsen burner, tripod, gauze mat, funnel, filter paper, thermometer, spatula, evaporating basin, stirring rod.

METHOD

  1. add 20ml of sulfuric acid to a 100ml beaker. heat the acid until it reaches 70°C. turn off your bunsen burner. no not boil your acid.
  2. once heated, use a spatula to add pea sized portions off copper oxide to the beaker, stir the mixture for 30 sec.
  3. repeat step 2 until no more will dissolve. allow the beaker to cool.
  4. fold the filter paper and place it in the funnel. place the filter funnel into the second beaker.
  5. make sure the beaker is cool enough to hold at the top. the contents should still be hot. you may need your teacher to complete this step.
  6. gently swirl the content of the beaker mix, and then pour into the filter paper in the funnel.allow to filter through.
  7. rinse the beaker you used to heat the mixture previously and place it back on top of your tripod filled with 50-6oml  of water.
  8. Place the evaporating basin on top of this beaker and carefully pour some of the solutions from the other beaker into the evaporating basin.
  9. gently heat the beaker until the solution in the evaporating basin has reduced by half.
  10.  leave the evaporating basin to cool once cool move the vaporising basin to a warm place where it will not be disturbed (eg windows) and observe of the next the few days.
