The Croods

 The Croods is a caveman family. I have been tasked with figuring out what homo species they are!!! To start us off I will look at cultural evolution.

They can language which means they have an advanced brain with the brocas area at the very least somewhat developed. This means that they are homo habilis or a later species. They wear clothes that started with homo sapiens. Visually they are larger than the average homo sapien. With this information alone I can conclude the following: In conclusion, they are a  homo sapiens with insane levels of strength, since I have discovered this new species I am going to name them "Homo neanderthalensis"

Level 3 Biology Homo Naledi

 australian.museum-homo-naledi


This article is about Homo Naledi. Who found in the Rising star cave.

They had a mix of Ape like and early Homo adaptations.

For example, its hands, and shoulders are very similar to those of the australopithecines.

They may have still lived in both the trees and in the ground.

They might have gone up into the trees to gather food or stay away from prey.

But then their lower body has more homo features. Since they were found in a cave

, it may be evidence that they buried the dead. T

here are no marks on the bones showing that they were dragged in there by prey.

So people are speculating that others dumped them in the cave to depose them. 

There are still a lot of unanswered questions about the

Joker

Anarchism-belief in the abolition of all government and the organization of society on a voluntary, cooperative basis without recourse to force or compulsion.


the belief that the government is bad and is unnecessary.
We see this when Joker is standing in the car surrounded by the rioting clowns. Showing that the government is unnecessary is just a social concept and a way for people to gain power.

Absurdism-the belief that human beings exist in a purposeless, chaotic universe.

The idea is that people live in a meaningless universe. 
We see this at the end of Joker when Joker is laughing at a joke he was thinking about and his therapist asks what the joke was, Joker then told her that she wouldn’t get it.


Existentialism-a philosophical theory or approach which emphasizes the existence of the individual person as a free and responsible agent determining their own development through acts of the will.

The idea is that we create our own meaning and purpose for our life.
We see this when

Nihilism-the belief that all values are baseless and that nothing can be known or communicated.

All values are meaningless and nothing can be known.
We see this when Joker kills his mum.

Introduction to Connections


Questions to answer when viewing/reading texts:
  1. How does viewing this text through a child’s perspective change the way we experience it? Explain using an example from the text. it would be bland because adults have shown fewer emotions. Jojo grows up around nazi's so he only knew how to be a nazi, whereas the adults could choose.
  2. How would this text be different if it were told from the perspective of an adult? How would the audience’s experience be different? The adults knew the dangers of saying their beliefs and thoughts on the Nazi's. So would be a lot darker than through a kid's eyes.
  3. Why did the filmmaker or author decide to tell this story from a child’s perspective? He was able to
  4. How are children represented in the text? How are adults represented in the text? The kids look dumb as they were easily manipulated into being a nazi. The adults were seen as a lot more powerful as they manipulated the kids and had their own opinions on things.
  5. Does imagination help the young hero to cope? How so? Provide an example.

Englsih-


  1. What film techniques/aspects are there? I re-watched the video and realized that at the start the lighting was very dim and around the end it was light. They also yous a variety of different camera angles. Some of the camera angles they used were over the shoulder, close up shot and Pov shot.
  2. What do they sound and look like? There was one Pov shot where Eddie was looking at the pill. There was background music.
  3. What are their effects?  The detector uses voice overs, background music, A effect of the camera making things look wobbly and text.
  4. Why do you think the director used them? I think he want to make the movie look more interesting. He didn't want to give away the whole movie so keep some important details out.
  5. How do the aspects combine for effect with other aspects? The lighting changes from dull to brighter. At the start it makes things look sad but in the middle-to end it makes things look happy. This works well because around that time things where going well for Eddie.
