Curiosity topic-8 How Candycanes are made

Factory-workers start by cooking up a batch of sugar, water and corn syrup. Then, they prepare a mix of starch and flavouring, like peppermint or strawberry. As they blend together, the flavouring binds to the starch. The flavouring mix is emptied into the middle of a syrupy slab. Then, the whole thing is put into a machine the folds the batch repeatedly, using shovels and a plunger. This distributes the flavouring evenly. After that, a worker moves it to a machine called automated pullers. These pullers stretch the mixture around a metal post. The candy is then rolled into a fat log, while heaters warm it until it pliable enough to shape. Next, strips of red coloured candy are rolled out. A worker stretches and folds it widen the strip. Two red strips are arranged on either side of the white candy. it's rolled into a cylinder roll the candy thinner and thinner. The candy rope moves through two angled belts that twist it. A chain of knives cut the twisted rope to candy cane size.

Abomination writing.

In English, my class have read a book called Abomination written by Robert Swindell. We had to write an easy, make a static image. After about 3 weeks we had to share our static image to the class. The class marked us on how well we had connected to the book.

Here is my static image.

My commentary:

Static Image Commentary

My static image portrays the idea that.the dark is the twilight zone and the light is normal.

I have shown this by the dark is what she can have E.G Homemade clothes, Plain meals. The light is what she can’t have E.G jewelry, Store-bought clothes, T.V and Sweets

The visual elements I have used include.

On the left it has sweets, a house and some clothes. And on the right

I have used the colour (s) as they represent the things Martha can and can’t use

The quotation I have chosen is relevant because Martha's life isn't great and her house is always dark and mouldy so it is dark and smelly. Twilight zone is there to represent the only things Martha can have and the light colours are to represent the things she can't have.

I didn't really like the book that much but it was really interesting at the end of the book.
