Ashan's Online Journal

I can see a boy below the age of 18 that’s what driving a car.

Item 1: The situation I decided to explore in my script, the act came from a child that was getting abused by his father and he couldn’t take it so he called me (social worker) as it was going on for to long so he called as he knows we can help any child that is going through any type of abuse or stress. His father wasn’t drinking before but he stated as he lost his wife in  a car crash he was so angry then he turned mad as he is going through a lot, as he lost someone he loved and actually cared about. It was his fault as he was arguing when his wife was driving and he knows but as he don’t want to take the blame for it he takes it out on his son.

in my act there was 4 students involved who are me jemel and tyreese, in the act i am suppost to be a social worker that looks after children and i lost my son so seeing other children getting treated in a very awful way it makes me feel sad . tyreeces act in the script was to be a child that gets abused by his father and he doesn’t like it so he is the smart one that calls us as he knows we can help. jemel is the father that looses his wife and gets drunk and starts to abuse his child.

In my script there is a central question in my script which is, Do you think the child should be treated in this way? I chose this question because In my opinion I don’t think he should or the fathers anger should be taken out on him.

My pros in my script was that we managed to look after the child after when we found out there was a thin line going across his head looking like he has got cut by a knife so we took him into social services which is a place that adults work really well with kids so this means that we have saved the child from any harm. The cons in my act was that the child shouldn’t even get hurt by a farther like that the father should love his child and treat him like family as that’s all he had left with him as his wife passed away.

my initial ideas in the act was that when i wanted to have a conversation with the child to see if he was safe here and if he feels alright but we changed it to when we go inside the room we whitnessed the child killed himself by hanging himself. A next thing we changed was when i was leaving the house i was meant to tell the father we are taking the child and the father just looks at the tv and play no attention to me and then i tell him he is the evilist father i seen but we changed it to me just taking the child but when am going with the child the father will show me the way to his room and then i see how he is feeling but we changed it to when i go into the room for some reason the child doesn’t want to leave so he starts screaming for the fathers help.

Child: Tyreese

Father: Jemel

Social worker: me

Introduction: This presentation is mainly about the refugees which is a person who has been forced to leave their country in order to escape war. I am going to tell you about the background of my stimulus that my group (Me/ Tyreece and Jemel) has been working on.

In my stimulus there was a child that was getting abused by his father as there was an incident where there were a car crash and jemels wife has pasted away. Jemel thinks the child is the problem why the car crashed. Jemel started drinking a lot which means he was getting drunk very often and that means when he gets drunk he abuses the child more. The child was getting sick of it he couldn’t take it anymore so he called me as he needed some help. So he called up and explained what has happened…to be continued.

Next day I turned up at the house to see what I can do so I had an Interview with jemel and asked some questions then after that I have spoken to Tyreese. I asked him a few questions then after I realised that his hand was on his head for a long period of time so I knew he was hiding something so I moved his hand there was a thin line that was going down deep it looks like he got cut by a knife so I had a deep think about it I realised this wasn’t a safe place for Tyreese to stay so I had to take him away to a safe place where he wouldn’t get abused. So I called my team worker and told him what happened and he thaught I should take him aswell but we said we should give the father another chance so if anything happens Tyreese will call me straight away so I have left and went home.

When I went home I was sitting down chilling watching tv at 9pm then what had happened to tyreece my son that had passed away I thaught to my self if I had my child I will be treating him better than jemel treats Tyreese. Five minutes later

I was on the plane trying to visit my grandad in America, BOOOWW There was a plane crash every one dropped and landed in the woods, unfortanatly I was the only one who survived. I was petrified the ground was full of leaves.it was autumn it was freezing it was 3 am in the morning, My finger was numb felt like a twisted finger looking like branches in the cold freezing wheather, It was a gloomy site. I was scared I could hear the trees screaming dangour through my brain. There was no way out feeling like i was in a maze. AAAWOOOO there was me looking scared looking around trying to see if anyone can get me out of this devilish place, I looked up at the sky i see a plane i screamed and shouted as loud as i can and waved there was no sighn of help no ones trying to get me out of here. CRACK CRACK CRACK the sounds are coming closer and closer from behind me i look behind no ones there i feel more frightened. I carry on walking i see a cracked broken compass on the ground. There was a paper on the floor next to the compass it said “get out of here while you can” my heart jumped as it was trying to jump out of my body. I was walking towards west , while I was walking I looked to my right there was a black and white tent. I pulled down the zip it got stuck felt like someone was in there trying to hold it , I started to nag it and nag it eventually it has opened, There was a bunch of pictures of school girls and most of them had crosses on their faces I wonder why. Next to me there was a brown bag, There was a bunch of items there was a : walky talky, a torch and clothes in the main bit , there was a secrete pocket on the side of the bag I put my hand in there I cut myself there was something sharp I wonder what it is , I pulled it out it was a long sharp kitchen knife I took it for protection as I was in the middle of no where…..

Ashan,

You have worked hard to create a sense of setting and include your character’s thoughts.  You have included many events,

Remember to use paragraphs

Try to read your work out loud and then separate each idea with a full stop or comma.

I agree it is messing up our language for an example people text the way they actually speak. People text “L.O.L” to one and other i do not think it actually means laugh out loud anymore as people say the phrase when nothing is even amusing i think people use it for sarcasm.

People use the emojis off the internet to show their facial expressions or to show how they feel, theres a lot of emojis such as: laughthing face, smiling face, crying face and thumbs up and down and there is alot more. There good and bad for an example if am happy i would send a smiling face on the other hand if am not happy or angry ki will put a straight face. Internet is wrecking our language such as google.

Technolidgy and the internet is just adding more existing words for an example wireless should be for radio communication on the other hand it is used for the internet such as social networking: facebook, instagram, snapchat, twitter and alot more. The internet actually added more verbs and nouns, google added more words thats not in an actuall dictonary.

I think the internet is actually a new thing it has been here since 1990 it hasnt been about for a long time. It is actually changing the way people communicate. people at a young age use slang i dont think older people use it if they do it is not as much as the younger people use it in my opinion.

When people use slang it just broudens our language by just adding more words or letters. What i think about slang i think it is actually street language. I think people use it as they cant be bothered to type normally with full punctuation. Think it as a long or short way of speaking.

Ashan,

You have covered many aspects to support your argument that is largely clear.  You have used evidence that you have gathered from our class discussions and developed to support your argument.

Targets:

• Remember to use capital letters when needed (especially I)
• Try to include research from the articles given out in class, you can find these on Edutronic
• You were asked to annotate a two conversations of your own to include in your language exploration.  Include this work here.

slang is wrecking our language and it affects the way people communicate and the way people speak to each other. The way people is speaking today (the way people speak are speaking now)is different to the way people spoke in the olden days or before slang was invented in 1967.
