L Diez Suarez' English Journal

Anthony Lavoisier was the first person to make good use of the balance. He was an excellent experimenter. After a visit with Priestly in 1774, he began careful study of the burning process. He proposed the Combustion Theory which was based on sound mass measurements.This combustion allowed him to find out special elements.Lavoisier was wrong to know charcoal as an element.This is because as charcoal consists on average of only 85-98% carbon, an element is defined as a pure substance.Therefore this doesn’t make consider charcoal as an element.

Then in the year 1869 the periodic table was published by a man named Dmitriv Mendeleev.Also,this table started from the bottom with just one element starting at a time.The first person to realise that elements were similar to each other was a German chemist called Johann Dobereiner.He tried a lot of different elements and decided to group them.

John Newlands was an English chemist which found out how to organise and put the elements in their right places.He ended up organising them in eights.He arranged all the elements known at the time into a table in order of relative atomic mass. When he did this, he found that each element was similar to the element eight places further on. For example,he started at Li, Be is the second element, B is the third and Na is the eighth element.This is how he organised and placed them onto the periodic table.

The thing that was missing from Dmitriv Mendeleev’s periodic table was that he did not have the use of atomic number to order the elements.Using atomic number instead of atomic mass as the organising principle was first proposed by the British chemist Henry Moseley in 1913, and it solved anomalies like this one.These are how the periodic table in the present is organised. 1.)The chemical elements are arranged in order of increasing atomic number.2.)The rows are called periods and the columns are called groups.3.)Elements with similar chemical properties are in the same group of elements.

In this debate I am talking about the positives and negatives of the statement,’Is it sometimes right to prevent scientific development and discovery?’ This will show my personal thoughts and opinions in which I would talk about agreeing and/or disagreeing with the statement.

Firstly,in my opinion I would say it is right to prevent this because if experiments are not done properly then there would be high cause of damages which can cause danger for anyone around the experiment being tested.Also,if we prevent this there will be no arguments about liking or disliking someone’s ideas.For example,a man called Doctor Stubbins Ffirth tried to find how people may catch the yellow fever disease.But this is an example of a failed experiment because it did not go how he expected it to.Adding onto this,if we carry on allowing people to be trying new experiments and it doesn’t go right many anonymous people won’t like it.Therefore,this will be causing people wanting to destroy the environment they live in so it causes the other people to stop trying out new experiments.

A reason why people may want to destroy the environment around them is not because of the experiments that some people are doing.Some of the reasons for this would be because it annoys them that their resources are being wasted on ‘experiments’ that the people that experiment things try and try again and if it carries on failing what are we losing? The experimenters probably don’t see or understand how much we are wasting on useless things.Therefore this would make the people that don’t want them to carry on experimenting protest over the streets to cause them to stop also causing damage around the environment they live around.

Another point to talk about would be why people do not just leave things how they were.For example,electricity was made by power first.But people just had to find ways to get electricity more easier to make by wasting materials from our land when we could have just left how to make electricity simple.

What annoys me and many more people is that they try many times like we have unlimited supplies of the resources they are experimenting with.Everything in this world has a limit we just have to get it into people’s heads so then they will finally realize how effective their ‘ideas’ and experiments do to the world and environment around us.

On the other hand,many people say we don’t look at the positives of experiments that have been used in the past to make cars,phones etc.This is a good example to stop preventing scientific experiments because many more things could be getting ready for producing.If people did not invent cars etc we would not have transport apart from walking and a lot of people will not enjoy that.This is a good example for a scientific invention.

Another point to back this side of the argument is how scientific inventions could affect our future as young learners.For example,this could help or bring down our revision and may help our exam or test results improve.But who knows what the future brings.

Who knows what the future may bring and what we can do to make it better with or without scientific inventions.Could it benefit?How would life be if we do not try and invent new inventions?If we do not try how do we know we can’t make the best inventions that exists and makes our lives easier or better.

Adding onto this technology and inventions these days do not just help us revise or help with work all the time.It also helps in hospitals and banks and general practitioners(GP).For example,in operations they use many different instruments and a new instrument is laparoscopy which is made out of high-tech and metal which is a small camera which fits inside your body to remove anything causing pain in the stomach area.Also,heart monitors were made as well from technology.

Banks use many machines to allow people to withdraw money.They also use machines to make stacks of money which then gets transferred from the bank supplier e.g. Bank Of England to many smaller banks e.g.Barclays,Santander,Natwest etc.These stacks of money are carried around by men in uniform saying ‘SECURITY’ which carry a briefcase with them to the bank/banks they deliver to.The main part about what is special from this briefcase is that if anyone apart from the manager or assistant managers try to open or break it to get money they will not be able to open it.Why?This is because it only allows certain people to open it.If anyone else tries to open it then purple dye will come out and destroy the money so therefore it is invalid to use anywhere.This is a scientific invention because it is like a trap for anyone else who tries to open it apart from bank managers etc.Also,the people may not know there’s a trap and if they try open it they will just see purple cash.

I believe it is right to prevent scientific inventions because if we do not stop this therefore we will suffer as we lose our resources if scientific inventions/experiments do not go right or the way the experimenters or scientists expect it to go.Therefore,this is why I believe the statement,’Is it right to prevent scientific inventions?’ is right and should be this way.

In the documentary that we were shown today it talked and explained a lot about weights and its history.It showed us many different shapes and sizes of weights from around the world.They also did an experiment in public to show people that size doesn’t matter.The example which they showed us with was two weights a big one and a small one.They gave it to the public and told them to see which one would seem heavier.The public were shocked to see that the big one and the small one were just about the same size,they were just roughly around 100 grams different to each other.Another example we were shown was an experiment to do with gravity.There was a weight in a special box which shows specifically how much the weight weighs.This experiment was done on ground level.The other part to this experiment was that they would put the same weight with the same box just on another place.They put this other experiment on the top of a block of high flats,which showed there was less gravity so therefore the weight was lighter.It was roughly 100 grams lighter than the weight on ground level.This was explained to us by the talk of gravity and how objects turn lighter as they are higher than ground level.This was what the documentary was showing us about.

In this essay I am going to be writing about the development and how the play of MacBeth could improve.Also,speaking about how the language has changed from then to now and what the changes in past and modern English is.All of this is based on the question,’To what extent is MacBeth a tragic hero or just a butcher.

Firstly,I would like to talk about how MacBeth was too scared to be able to kill guards or even do anything that includes murdering or abusing anyone.He normally would leave all the dirty work to lady MacBeth because he’s scared.But also on the other hand he’s changing so much in  a few weeks.For example he was so scared about bein able to go and murder people but now as we were reading this we found out he wasn’t a very nice person like at the start.Right now on most of the last few scenes MacBeth isn’t the same person as we saw at the start.He was nice and that at the start but right now he’s all different.He’s a murderer,scary and disrespectful man from before when he was kind, respectful and happy;he’s scary disrespectful and annoying now than from before.

From the question asked,’To what extent is MacBeth a tragic hero or just a butcher?’ I would answer for a fact that he is now a butcher.This is because he kills for fun with no reason to kill.Also,finding people anywhere to kill not caring who it is.

This makes me think about how dangerous this man and how much of an assassin he’s changed into.Also,he’s not only hurtin people he hates but adding onto that abusing and murdering the people around him.It’s like he’s addicted with doing this and it’s like this is his hobby/job to be going round killing people.Evidence to back up my point in why I would say he is a butcher is the saying in one of the scenes,’Come,put mine armour on;give me my staff.’ By this quote it shows us that he is prepared and ready to kill anyone in his way and nothing is in his way to stop him.

Other people may think the same because it is clear in the text that he’s changing from one person that is scared to do things for example murder,attack or insult people to a guy that loves murdering and hating people.This may be because people were hating and putting him down by hating and not wanting him around.

He eventually got tired for example in Act 1 Scene 5 because he was getting pushed around by Lady MacBeth and decided after a few scenes,that he needs to change and not allow anyone to be pushing him around because at the end of the day he’s the King and every order of his should be respected and those who choose to go against it should be punished for not wanting to follow or respect the King’s orders.Also,showing that in Act 3 Scene 4 it’s saying,’Thy blood is cold.’ Which is showing that people’s hearts are cold for example,they don’t care about anything around them and disrespect anything to anyone they don’t like or don’t know.

• As time changed,so did MacBeth;he showed no guts to do nothing before but right now he’s showing his true dark side and is showing how scary and how he can get respect off anyone or else he murders them or he would take them as prisoners. Another point I have is that he is not a person you would like to meet or want to be your friend.Do you want to know why? It is because one minute he could be your best friend,the next day you could be his worst enemy and he would want to kill you for no reason for you to be killed.Therefore you wouldn’t want these types of friends that will want to kill you any moment in the most unexpected time.
• Adding onto that MacBeth shows that he is trully King and nothing stopping him or getting in his way.This is by the way he’s demanding the witches to tell him the truth and if they don’t he will curse them and therefore the witches were made to tell MacBeth because he’s gone stronger and scarier than before.Like before he was all quiet and didnt want to do nothing but now he’s just doing everything to make his kingdom listen to him and respect his opinion.This is shown in Act 4 Scene 3 saying,’Deny me this and an eternal curse will fall on you.’
• These are the main points of my opinion in the question,’To what extent is MacBeth a tragic hero or just a butcher.’ Others may disagree with my point because of other reasons but in my opinion I would say that my reasons would be more explained and detailed because I’m using quotes.

Fate is a decision that happens in peoples life. Fate is a power that predetermines events in your life and is unchangeable. It is your destiny and is unalterable. The Elizabethans believed that this power ruled their whole life and that everything is meant to happen.From the first page of the play we here about fate. Romeo and Juliet are mentioned as star-crossed lovers meaning that fate will bring them together. It says that their love is death marked which means that their fate will be tragic. It tells us that they have no control over what will happen to them and it will lead to their demise. There are many events in the play that could have completely changed the outcome of the story. Possibly the biggest spark in their downfall would be that their families were enemies. If they had not have had such a long living feud Romeo and Juliet could have had a greater chance of being together. Another thing that could have prevented the deaths of the pair is if Romeo had never have gone to the ball in the first place. Romeo felt uneasy about going and says I fear too early for my mind misgives some consequence yet hanging in the stars shall bitterly begin his fearful date with the night’s revels He senses that something bad is going to happen and there is nothing he can do about it. He goes in because he believes it is his own fate. If Mercutio and Tybalt never had to fight or if Mercutio never died as a result of the fight then Romeo wouldn’t have had a reason to attack and ultimately kill Tybalt. He would not have been banished and Juliet would not have had to take the potion to flea to Romeo. Also if Tybalt had not been such a proud man he might not have been bothered about Romeo gate crashing his uncles party. I think  Shakespeare adds fate to all his plays to make them more intense. I think if  it wasn’t for fate then Shakespeare’s plays might of not be that popular and his plays might of not be a old legend. If  I was gonna say one of his play that i fought had a good amount of fate then it would be romeo and juliet.

 

In romeo and Juliet, romeo is trying to say that Juliet is the sun, (she is bright like the sun), that is the metaphor.

In my opinion I would say that the most effective piece of figurative language is that the way the author creates the children.This makes the readers think that the children are confusing and that the parents wont get it.

I say this by the evidence from the speech which says ‘Children are carpets.’This is because this creates many different images in the readers mind.For example they could be thought as useless and not capable for anything.Also,it could be trying to say that they are quiet and/or getting stepped on (being picked on.) Or also other pictures that the readers might have in their head.

The author uses a lot of effective language in this story.I say this because there is a lot of adjectives in most descriptions.It creates a feeling that children are being shown as disgusting and useless and just a waste of time.
