1. Since the beginnings of history justice has been a term that has been discussed, in different contexts and situations. Clearly Martin Luther King's speech isn`t an exception, but in this particle speech the difference is that it tackles the injustice between white and african american people in the USA. "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal." with that quote Martin Luther King empazises on the idea of equality and even before saying that, he refers to the emancipation proclamation where, as he confirms, a light of hope emerged. It is clear that Martin Luther King does not think america has the equality standards that were proposed in the first years of america as a country, and that the african american people are still hoping and fighting for them today. King makes a particular highlight on the states of the country that do still have an impressive amount of discrimination and laws that determine segregation, different treats and in overall summary, injustice.

Massive protest
March for equality
Martin Luther King leads the polemic fight for justice.
WASHINGTON D.C. - Yesterday the massive march, which had mostly african american attendance, went from the Washington Monument to the Lincoln Memorial, where they stopped and listened to an euphoric and optimistic leader called Martin Luther King, the Baptist minister from the south of the USA, who spoke about the african american and white people relationship, and the current situation of our country USA in this topic, going against discrimination and segregation.
The 3-mile distance between the Lincoln memorial and Washington monument, were not an obstacle for the 318.000 people who supported the speech, which was also televised, the amount of people that watched and/or listened to the speech is uncountable.
Sisterhood, brotherhood, justice and freedom were the main topics that King tackled in his speech, that went also to the foundations of our nation because of the reference to the Emancipation Proclamation done in 1863, He said: "Five score years ago, a great American, in whose symbolic shadow we stand today, signed the Emancipation Proclamation. This momentous decree came as a great beacon light of hope to millions of Negro slaves who had been seared in the flames of withering injustice. It came as a joyous daybreak to end the long night of their captivity." Having an obvious big support from the african american audience which responded with optimistic reactions that were super noticeable. There was also a religious base in the speech specially because of the term sisterhood and brotherhood, all of this because of King's Cristian beliefs that were solidly exposed. Could this be the begging of a change of what has been the american's society traditions and normal conduct until today?

All things will die ANALYSIS
"All things will die" by Alfred Tennyson, is telling us from the beginning, from the title, from the first part of a text that we encounter as a reader, how of a pessimist/depressed poem it is going to be. By reading only the title the first thing that comes to my mind is that he is going to describe a process of how everything necessarily has to end. Through a hyperbole he is trying to portray the idea that can be true but not in every aspect of what we call life or more than life (because it ends), reality. It is also important to recognize that Tennyson doesn't only write "All things die" but "All things WILL die" maybe trying to tell us something about the present, of how we should live it.
Firstly the poem starts describing an utopic and beautiful landscape, through a lyric speaker (seems to be omnipresent), using a lot of imagery with verses like "clearly the blue river chimes in its flowing" then the lyric speaker kind of makes a switch with the verse "Yet all things must die" and starts a whole apocalyptic scenario in which everything stops, everything ends, everything dies.
In a poem like this one, specific words or keywords have a very important role, these words through connotation can symbolize a fundamental idea or refer to a specific situation. In the second verse "Under my eye" I understand that Tennyson tries to explain how this potential ending of everything is happening right now or that how everything we know is posible victim, is vulnerable. Again this idea is present in the verse 18th " See! our friends are all forsaking" with the word friends he highlights the close relation and understanding that we have with the things that end or leave, that ending will have a big impact on us. There is also other 2 words that have a big connotation, the are vanity on verse 16th " O, vanity!" and misery on verse 27th "O, misery!", these two words have the important and key role to express the downsides of life, the quality of something being worthless (probably living) and the extreme suffering or wretchedness of the circumstances of the end.
When reading the poem it is undoubtable to identify a pessimist tone, verses like "for all thing must die", "death waits at the door" and "laid low, very low" clearly emphasize how death is inevitable and all of us have basically no power against such a destiny, we are condemned. Obviously writing a poem with a pessimist tone when talking about life will create a sad mood on the readers, and sadness leads to a word that describes better how someone can feel after reading the poem, that word is depressed.
All things will die, can be, as any other poem, split into different shifts. This particular poem has 3 different parts, the first one goes from verse 1 to verse 7, the second one goes from verse 8 to verse 36, an the third one goes from verse 37 to the verse 40. The first shift is the description of the utopic or ideal reality, using imagery and describing a beautiful landscape Tennyson prepares the reader and makes him realize that also the good parts of life can be included in a poem with such a title. The second shift is the ending of everything that he previously mentioned and the metaphoric entrance of death to the scene. Finally the third shift is a reflective statement by Tennyson, it portrays how the time had to come for humanity and everything else on this planet.
The predominant theme of this poem is the inevitable ending of everything, it creates chaos. It is clearly demonstrated in verses like "For all things must die", "Spring will come nevermore", "Yet all things must die". When analyzing this poem apart from being able to immediately understand the main theme, it is also possible to have a certain interpretation of it, in this case the interpretation is that Tennyson implicitly portrays an important concept or idea, live your life to the fullest because nothing ever lasts, this idea has to be with the fact previously mentioned that the title of the poem is "All thins WILL die" not only "All things die", there is time.
The metre of this poem has doesn't have a lot of variety, for example it starts in the first verse with a trochaic hexameter, merged in by the structure of 6 feet, with the pattern of stressed and unstressed syllables.
Moving on to the rhythm pattern of the poem, and not doing an isolated analysis of it, it possible to have a direct relation with the theme, and the feelings that the poet tries to transfer to the readers. With the theme being the inevitable ending of everything it obviously creates a sensation of chaos which is fully reflected in the rhythm pattern as it doesn't have any pattern throughout the poem, except the initial part of the poem when Tennyson describes a calm and beautiful landscape and when he describes the ceasing of the elements of the landscape. In the first part it is possible to see an ababaa pattern:
But also, in the part of the poem when Tennyson starts describing how all the elements mentioned in the initial verses end or cease, he includes a rhyme pattern, but a different one, to generate a big contrast with both states, life and death. In this part he puts a ddeebb pattern:
Finally in terms of the rhetorical devices used in this poem in is possible to recognise plenty of them. In the first and second verses there is a enjambment.
he finishes the "sentence" in the next verse to highlight the idea that it is under his and our vision.
In the 6th verse Tennyson includes a Hyperbaton.
There is a disorder in the syntax of the verse creating an effect which transfers the feeling of joyance. The normal order should be "This may morning every heart is beating in joyance"
In the verses that go from the 9th to the 12th the poet wants to create a sound effect through the rhetoric device of repetition, more specifically an anaphora.
The repetition of the same word at the beginning of the verses creates an anaphora. This is done by Tennyson to give emphasis to the idea of everything ending because all the things he mentioned before in a good and calm way, are now disappearing.
In the verse 28th it is possible to read a personification, Tennyson gives a human characteristic to a inanimate object or substantive.
Death cannot or doesn't have the ability to call someone to "kill" him, that is something that a human being would be capable of. This was done with the intention of demonstrating in a poetic way, the real power that death has.

"Clearly the blue river chimes in its flowing"
In the middle part of the text, more specifically in the 18th verse we can find again a trochaic tetrameter.
"See! our friends are all forsaking."
And finally in the last part of the poem, in its last verse (40th) the trochaic form and structure repeats but in this case only with one feet.
"Long ago."
This usage of the trochaic in most parts of the poem was used by Alfred Tennyson to maintain the fluency of the literary text itself, so to generate a better effect when being read, or performed.
Moving on to the rhythm pattern of the poem, and not doing an isolated analysis of it, it possible to have a direct relation with the theme, and the feelings that the poet tries to transfer to the readers. With the theme being the inevitable ending of everything it obviously creates a sensation of chaos which is fully reflected in the rhythm pattern as it doesn't have any pattern throughout the poem, except the initial part of the poem when Tennyson describes a calm and beautiful landscape and when he describes the ceasing of the elements of the landscape. In the first part it is possible to see an ababaa pattern:
"Clearly the blue river chimes in its flowing
Under my eye;
Warmly and broadly the south winds are blowing
Over the sky.
One after another the white clouds are fleeting;
Every hart this may morning in joyance is beating"
But also, in the part of the poem when Tennyson starts describing how all the elements mentioned in the initial verses end or cease, he includes a rhyme pattern, but a different one, to generate a big contrast with both states, life and death. In this part he puts a ddeebb pattern:
"The stream will cease to flow;
The wind will cease to blow;
The clouds will cease to fleet;
The heart will cease to beat;
For all things must die.
All things must die."
Finally in terms of the rhetorical devices used in this poem in is possible to recognise plenty of them. In the first and second verses there is a enjambment.
"Clearly the blue river chimes in its flowing
Under my eye"
he finishes the "sentence" in the next verse to highlight the idea that it is under his and our vision.
In the 6th verse Tennyson includes a Hyperbaton.

Death cannot or doesn't have the ability to call someone to "kill" him, that is something that a human being would be capable of. This was done with the intention of demonstrating in a poetic way, the real power that death has.

VERSION 2
Mr. Conner: "I Don't feel intimidated"
Since many years, a little and calm town called Maycomb has had it's own beadle, who's name has never been revealed, but everyone knows him as "Mr Conner". One week has passed since the day he was involved, due to his work and duty in an incident. After being the one who was trying arrest the vandals, Mr. Conner finished arrested and locked. Also the case ended up in tribunals, with the vandals being judged with numerous charges.
Good morning Mr. Conner, how are you feeling today?
Good morning, actually I am feeling really good, I would like to say that I feel really thankful for the opportunity that you gave me to do this interview and to express my point of view and feelings towards this situation.
A situation that was really weird, wasn't it? tell us what happened that night and how it ended up the way it did.
Well, indeed it was a really weird situation (laughs). It all started around 10:30 pm, I was already one or half an hour on my turn of security as a beadle, when I started listening to all this disorder that was being caused by some group of boys on a car, that I can ensure it was a borrowed fliver. They were screaming like crazy and shouting cuss words in a way that I am sure everyone in the town could listen to. I came closer to the car and the group of boys, because that's what they are, just a group of badly educated boys, and tried to be reasonable and tell them to stop doing that massive disorder, but they didn't do anything about it, so I had to start applying my authority as a beadle in charge to maintain the order, so I proceed to arrest them all, but they resisted and turned aggressive, they took me to the courthouse outhouse and locked me inside.
Do you know who were the "boys" that were causing all that disorder and locked you?
Of course I know them, O knew who each one of them was even from before, they had a lot of background issues that involved all kind of public disorder and bad attitude towards the calm of the town. They are probably the closest thing to a gang that has ever existed in Maycomb.
How did you "escape" from the courthouse outhouse where you were locked and how did the case end up in tribunals?
Well after being locked for some hours listening to all the disorder that they kept making I tried not to desperate until they left. Some minutes after they left someone passed close to the outhouse and i asked for help, he helped me and I had to explain all the story, making myself look like the worst beadle in history (laughs). The next day I went and talked to authorities of the town (the real authorities), they obviously decided that something had to be done, and because I knew them all, it wasn't difficult to make them come before the judge with charges of: Disturbing the peace, assault and battery, and the last but most important one in my opinion: the use of abusive and profane language in the presence and hearing of females.Why did you include that last charge and what was the judge's final decision? how do you feel after all of this?
The judge asked me the same question (laughs) I included that one because because I am sure every lady in Maycomb heared them, they were screaming like beasts. The judge decided to send the vandals to the state industrial school, but as far as I know there's one that didn't go, Arthur Radley, because his father talked personally to the judge. After all this situation I feel good but I am not really happy with the decision of the judge, still, I don't feel intimidated, but groups of little vandals like this one, that make disorder, take advantages of a calm town like Maycomb, because they won't receive really tough penalties.
One last question Mr. Conner, do you know what happened with that boy that didn't go to the state industrial school?
As i said before, the father of this boy had a personal talk with the judge he was able to change the dictamination for his son, but he took a decision that I find more solid and correct for this situation, he had his son locked inside his house forever or for a long time. This is correct because he got in problems for locking me, and ended up locked inside his own house, that is a good and responsible father with conscience for the community and society.

rationale
My written task consisted in writing a text of personal choice, after reading the book "To Kill A Mockingbird". I decided to make an interview to Mr
Conner because I found it appropiate for the situation that I wanted to tackle,
which is when Mr Conner was locked by Arthur Radley and his friends in the
courthouse outhouse.
Because it being an interview I imagined it being published
on a newspapaer or magazine so the audience that I wanted to target are all the
possible readers of it. When talking about the register that I used it was
always a formal one because of the context that my text was in.
In general the interview has a serious tone in it’s overall
structure but sometimes, for example, the answers by Mr Conner included laughs
which created a relaxed atmosphere.
The main purpose that I have with this interview is to
express a point of view of a not so important character in a wider way because
I realized all the potential that this situation and particular character had
to make an interesting interview.
To conclude, I think that this written task has a lot of
learning outcomes for this course of language and literature, because it was
about reading a book, understanding the ideas of it and finally writing a text
in which you had to adapt your thoughts to an specific structure.

To kill a Mockingbird: Style
To kill a mockingbird is a novel written by Harper Lee. The novel talks about a lot of controversial topics regarding the background of where and when it is set. As it is narrated by a little girl, the language of the novel is very simple and it also evolves with the main character/narrator. The place where the novel is set is Alabama, US in the 1950's so the girls language is like the one the southern people use and the author changes the spelling of the words so the accent its noticed. Despite being her first and until this year only novel Lee's hand is poetic and truthful a thing that not all authors get to do. Along the novel there are a lot of quotes and passages that made us think and reflect. The most famous quotes come from the narrators father who is an intellectual lawyer who appears to be a hero to his daughter. Other famous quotes come from Scout, the narrator,as she learns what is right and whats wrong.

Written Task
Rationale.
In this written task I am going to develop an article related to the mass media topic, that my class and I have been studying, specifically about wikileaks.
Throughout this article the leak that I will aboard is called "Syria Files" it is about some e-mails of syrian and international authorities, all of this, while syria is under civil war, thats the main reason why I chose this topic, because it is super relevant what the authorities say to each other personally while war is going on in this country.
Now referring more to the article structure, it is a newspaper article, it doesn't really have many differences with a normal article but it includes features like headline, by line, introduction, body, quotes and a conclusion. I chose this format because it gives me the opportunity to write write a lot about my personal research of objective info, while also being able to put my thoughts in the conclusion, so I feel confortable with this type of text. I also think that the topic can perfectly be put into an article because of how relevant it is and because it is a big leak I could write it like a journalist, i find this really interesting to aboard.
In terms of the audience that this article is aiming is an audience that knows the context of Syria at the time this happened so they can really understand and link the leaked info with the current Syrian situation, my purpose with this article is to inform this audience with important and relevant personal leaked information about economy, interests, affairs, and even reactions from people that have read the e-mails.
Article (Newspaper Article)
Syria Has been leaked
The 5th of july 2012 the technical team of wikileaks finished the researching and recompilation of important and private e-mails from authorities, political figures, ministers, and even companies from Syria, while it is under civil war, also other nations personalities would be involucrated in this.
All the e-mails date from august 2006 to march 2012, these include more than 680 important names from syria, all related to their interests and political affairs, and, more importantly this information could potentially become viral and everyone that understands the context around the world could have access to these e-mails via wikileaks, and in 2 months, according to wikileaks experts the information will start to be published in sites like Al Akhbar from lebanon, Al Masrry Al young, from Egypt, ARD from germany, Associated Press from The united states, L espresso from Italy, Owi from france and Publico.es from Sapin, they also expet other sites to start publishing the files as the time goes one and this topic makes more popular.
The violent internal conflict that Syria is having right now and the context in which this happened creates a lot of different opinions, for example, wikileaks founder Julian Assange said: "The material is embarrassing to Syria, but it is also embarrassing to to Syria`s opponents. It helps us not to merely criticize one group or another, but to understand their interests, actions and thoughts. It is only through understanding this conflict that we can hope to resolve it" and Sarah Harrison ( WikiLeaks Journalist) said "The Sirya files shine a light on the inner workings of the syrian government and economy but they also reveal how the west and western companies say one thing and do another".
The technical team of wikileaks says tha the database is composed of 2.434.899 e-mails, 678.752 addresses and more than 1 million recipients, this amount of information plus the fact that some of these emails were infected with viruses, took wikileaks to build a system that allowed them to handle these types of massive information sources, to understand how much this information is the wikileaks post on internet says that we can found personal and intimate interest of senior the baath party to economic transfers of ministers to other nations and even financial and politic interests of big and dominant companies and a number of different languages including, 400.000 e-mails in arabic and more than 60.000 in Russian, the posts also compares the "size" of the info with the "cablegate" saying that the info is 8 times bigger in terms of number of documents and 100 times bigger in terms of data.
In Conclusion, we are in front of one of the most important leaks in the last 10 years, being able to have acces to full personal information about political figures is something that can really affect the government of any country in the world, but this specific case is special because of how fast people can get the information, with internet and because of the context in which it happened a civil war, that is the main reason of why this leak is important, also the massive amount of information that was leaked is impressive and because it has personal interests from both sides of the conflict it can change a to of thoughts, decisions and actions that could potentially be done by the people and companies involved in this conflict, it has already created opinions even from the wikileaks founder julian Assange, that says the material is embarrassing to Syria. It is also possibly to notice that because of the effort that wikileaks technical team has done so fat, for example the creation of a general purpose, multi language political data minig system to handle the massive amount of info, the information is super valuable and might be classify, this leak by wikileaks may have a next level purpose, in terms of directly affecting the syrian conflict by showing the classified information to each side of the war scenario parties, a war that seems to be very fraudulent since it started until nowadays.
