I knew before reading this that stress, worry and anxiety were all different things. For me I definitely do all of them but usually I am able to stop before I cycle through all of them, I think anxiety is a long term thing in my opinion. For me for it to be anxiety it would have to be over a period of time. Stress is usually associated with school work for me but worry can happen at any time about anything really.

I don’t think any song can be universally important to everyone, it’s just up to you what music you prefer. My favourite songs aren’t on the top 25 list and I don’t think listening to any of the songs on that list are important to me. Especially not number 11 from the Cats soundtrack. Which still haunts me after watching the film. I found my favourite songs through just looking Spotify or having people share bands and artists with me and listening to it on my own. I think in most of my favourite songs I like the beat and music to it and the lyrics just fit into it. In some cases the persons personality adds to it, but I have never started to listen to someone based off their personality alone.

I think it is quite immoral for people to raise the price of goods during a crisis, considering it is at a time when people are at their lowest and probably are willing to pay anything for what they need. Times like the current one we are in I think it is very immoral especially as lots of people are losing their jobs or at the very least their income has been lowered substantially. I can see why people do it but I don’t think its the best thing to do when everyone is in the same boat and it is even worse to increase the price if one country is unaffected and the other is like we have seen in the past.

How can we help one another during the coronavirus outbreak? What can you, your friends, family and community do to look out for one another?

I think the biggest thing for everyone is to stay in contact with their friends and family, online of course. As humans we need some social contact and especially in a difficult time like this when we could have family and friends directly effected by the virus it is vital to keep talking to people that you normally would. As well as offering extra support to your friends. As highlighted in the article I think during these few months people have certainly come together to help each other like I, personally, haven’t seen before. It is times like these when the good comes out in the people that can make a difference. But from a community point of view it is the same for the people you don’t know as the ones you do and it’s just to be nice as everyone is effected in some way. And while we are all experiencing the same thing, people are dealing with it differently and in the community I think we all need to be more understanding of each other.

In this photo stereotypes are being broken as a girl is fixing something and doing handy work, this opposes the usual stereotype that it is the man’s job to fix and do DIY around the house or anywhere.

In Home Fire we see the contrast between what Eammon and Anneka are doing compared with her praying is a strak contrast. This is also similar to the picture where the women stand in the Yemen desert which in the photos contrasts heavily against the black burka. The contrast here I think is meant to symbolise how Anneka feels in Home Fire too as she has to choose between her faith and trying to get her brother home through the use of Eammon to get to his father. This can be translated to everyday life for a muslim or someone of any religion as choices will come up in their life where they will have to make a decision between compromising their faith and breaking the rules of a religion. It also shows how people can sacrifice what some people would consider normal in order to abide by the rules that their faith has set for them.

During the scene in Home Fire Aneeka takes off her hijab which signifies how she has removed herself from the religion for that time and she even puts Eammon’s hand on her chest and says “We match” that could allude to the fact we are all the same on the inside. This relates to Al-Arashi’s photos too as you cannot see anything of the person bar the silhouette of the burka surrounding them, which again alludes to the idea anyone can wear it and that we are all the same. However that is what is troubling for the people who need to deal with discrimination everyday is that they are not made to feel the same and people abuse that which leads to the discrimination.

I demonstrated new skills in pottery as it is not something that I have done outside of middle school art, which did not require much skill. It’s been a while since I did pottery so I find myself having to relearn the little skills that I picked up in middle school. Hopefully, I will continue to improve as now I’m only 2 sessions in and I think it’s safe to say there’s definitely room for improvement.  So far I have not made anything yet but am working towards a paperweight/doorstop. Throughout the course of the activity I will develop my skills and work into more complex creations as well as making them better looking.

I showed commitment and perseverance to a CAS Experience by working my way into the first XI of the team. Unfortunately, I was not picked for the SEASAC team and other than tournaments we played I was only able to play 11-aside football. I started the season on the bench and playing maybe half a game. But through increasingly better performances I was able to work my way into the team and start all the games towards the end of the season. Next year I aim to be in the SEASAC team, which will take perseverance to get over the disappointment of not being selected and improve my game to make sure I am selected next year.
