Stem cells
A stem cell is a cell that hasn’t yet become specialised and can be found in embryos or bone marrow. These cells can be used to treat certain conditions but the use of these cells is very controversial
Embryonic stem cells come from embryo which is controversial because it basically kills humans in the making.
lichens
Microscope are useful when finding out the mutation the lichen take to adapt to different environment. Microscopes are vital when looking at cells as the organals the cell contain can’t be seen by thew naked eye. A light microscope project a visible light usually onto a small organism, which will allow you to get a good visual look.
Magnification is the ability to make small objects seem larger, such as making a microscopic organism visible. Resolution is the ability to distinguish two objects from each other. Light microscopy has limits to both its resolution and its magnification
While a light microscope uses light to illuminate specimens and glass lenses to magnify images, an electron microscope uses a beam of electrons to illuminate organism and magnetic lenses to magnify images. The resolution is the main difference between these two microscopes.
What is the relationship between online text and spoken language?
Texting and speaking in general are like two different languages. Speaking is more formal than texting. While texting or communicating on social media, we use a completely new dialect that involves devices such as slang and emoji’s . The younger generation are now using this language in real life conversations and new words are added to the language which quickly spread to all the youth over the country due to social media and its affect on this generation. Formal speaking is something that you switch too in certain occasions, like if you were talking to your parent or if you had an interview. This is the dialect that is used when it comes to important thing such as jobs and meetings. What we need to understand is that it is essential to know how to speak formally. We don’t need teach them slang because it is something generation after generation will pick as the get older. So the relationship between both online texting and spoken formal language is that you won’t survive socially or financially without knowing how to communicate with two totally opposite types of situations and people.
Nearly everyone that texts people has an idiolect , which is an overused word to fill in blank spaces when you are thinking of an answer. The words that that commonly used as somebody idiolect are words such as ‘like’ and ‘um’. Short word that just get repeated to take away the silence while you think of a reply. Everyone has a idiolect but you rarely notice as it is triggered by the silence and your brain reacts and repeats a certain word over and over again until you are confident in knowing what you are going to say.
In a text conversation of my own I noticed that we didn’t greet each other with the use of ‘hello’ or ‘hi’. We just asked the question and waited for the response. The answer given didn’t end the conversation it sprang a new topic of the the conversation. With my conversations it either end with ‘kl’ (cool).
Texting can introduce new vocabulary to someone. I’ve have witnessed the use of language due to the overall words the me and other people use. For example I know some that is from Weymouth and had never heard of the words such as ‘beg’ which seemed weird to me at first because it a world I hear all the time, because he hears me use it in different contexts it has got to the stage he is capable of using the word in the right context. So me speaking and using a word that was never said where he is from to were he can saying knowing what it means when he says it in a conversation.

How is fate presented in Shakespeare’s Julius Caesar and Shelley’s Ozymandias
Shakespeare’s Julius Caesar and Shelley’s Ozymandias are very alike in terms of language and the way they play with foreshadowing . Both writers manipulate some word meanings and how they are placed in a sentences, to affect the overall meaning for the sentence.
Shelley’s poem is written as a sonnet which is usually based around love. But in this instance, Ozymandias is a poem that shows a sort of bad karma to a character who ruled over everyone but was left with nothing to show for his achievement. Julius Caesar on the other hand is a long script that has a lot of symbolism and language skill such as personification and metaphor. Ozymandias has 14 lines but involves lots of language techniques, where as Julius Caesar has 104 pages and also involves the same language as Ozymandias and more.
Fate is an ending to a path that someone would follow without knowing. A way I would describe fate is as a unmovable force that sits at the end of every path in life you take with only one path to go through.
Fate in Julius Caesar happens to many people such as Cassius or Caesar. These characters fate is shown by different events. Caesar’s event that showed his fate was when the soothsayer appeared in act 1 scene 2 where Caesar is walking in public with Casca, Calpurnia, Anthony and Brutus. The soothsayer from a crowd of people says ‘Beware the ides of March ‘ this just means beware the 15th of March. Caesar didn’t believe the soothsayer and thought it was a joke. Cassius wasn’t a likeable characters. Cassius’s role in the play was to be a mischievous, persuasive person who could over run the best of people with only his words. This was Cassius’s fate as Shakespeare used Cassius’s personility to create his fate which was to cause the civil war. His key role in the play was the power and control over Brutus, even though Brutus didn’t see Cassius’s full intension until act 4 scene 3 where a civil war had erupted and Brutus understoods that it was not going to help Rome if there’s a war. So what happened was Cassius came round to Brutus were Brutus had an argument with Cassius. Even though Brutus had told Cassius everything he needed too .Cassius still tries to manipulate him by saying ‘ There is my dagger and here is my naked breast: within, a heart’ Cassius knew Brutus would never stab him but Cassius’s attitude seemed so convincing and so confident that it would bring out Brutus friendly part of him. Also Brutus being a hero of Rome he wouldn’t never kill Cassius for no reason or over a disagreement. So Cassius’s personility fell into place with Brutus’s personality, as Cassius is manipulative where as Brutus is fickle.
Caesar and Ozymandias are two very similar character who were both linked to being a bad leader. Their fates were technically the same as they were both leader who were taken off their pedestal and are left with only a few things to represent their reign. For Ozymandias it was the pillars and his sculpture which symbolised his power that slowly got buried over by the land. Where as Caesar’s body was left to also show how power can be taken down. I feel Shakespeare used Brutus as an explanation for what happens when fate attacks. The explanation for fate in Ozymandias is the storyteller.
Brutus and the storyteller both are involved in the explanation of the fates of Caesar and Ozymandias. Brutus at Caesar’s funeral explain how an ambitious person should be taken down from the chain of power. Brutus’s speech also relates to Ozymandias as his ambition was to be a ‘king of Kings’ but his fate took him out from chain of power. Leaving him with only his image. The storyteller description of Ozymandias was how people thought of Caesar. The storyteller describes him as a tyrant and a self centred person which is how people could interpret Caesar personality.
Techniques of fate show that time was used to show that it happened over a long period of time. In Ozymandias words and sentences can show that it happen over many years. And the soothsayer was the character that showed when fate had been noticed and were it would end for Caesar.
Time is a key figure to notice fate. Time shows how certain things happen that lead to fate. Even though it not said but hints and interpretation of character lead toward the fate of the characters. This process happens over time whether it is in 14 lines or 104 pages of text.
The soothsayer appeared at what we could say was the ending part of Caesar’s fate. Everything that happened after the appearance of the soothsayer was the final pieces of the jigsaw puzzle better known as Caesar’s destiny. Decius Brutus manipulates Caesar’s hubris.This happened when conspirators had lured Caesar to his death besides the bad omens Calpurnia had. All of these events had happened for a reason and all had a part in Ceasar’s fate. Calpurnia’s omens had convinced Caesar not to go to the Capitol but Decicus Brutus’s manipulates Caesar and his status and the status of his wife. He didn’t take his wife’s advice because of the status women had back in those days.
In Ozymandias the first line show us time as the first person we meet is a storyteller, which obviously indicates that he tells stories that would of happened some time ago. The story he told was about a king called Ozymandias. The story described Ozymandias in every way that would symbolise a tyrant. The entire poem is based around fate and bad karma. Fate is shown in the poem when it said that a sculpture of Ozymandias was made to portray the way the people felt about him. The expression that were sculpted on the visage was a cold look. By ‘cold look’ it means that he had a nasty smirk on his face. This shows that he was a unliked person who got all his kingdom by force not leadership. Ruling by force only lead to Ozymandias’s fate which was the destruction of his kingdom.
These are the technique that Shelley and Shakespeare use to incorporate fate into their poem or scripts. Fate leaves a mysterious trail throughout the book or it can symbolise something that can have a overall meaning to it like bad karma or respecting people around you.
How is fate shown in Ozymandias?
Homework Task One:
The poem is about a person meeting a traveller from an ancient land, who tells a story about a ruin, which contains a sculpture of someone called Ozymandias. Ozymandias, it seems was a leader that ruled in fear. We know this from the quote “whose frown, and wrinkled lips and sneer of cold command” As well as telling us the sculpture was made with a negative expression. The sculpture was most likely made during his reign to mock his leadership over the people and to describe the person he was. Ozymandias’s quote on the pedestal described what he wanted to be remembered for, but the sculpture showed the actual way the majority of people felt about him.
I feel like the end of the poem sends out the message of bad karma. This is because Ozymandias’s character is betrayed very negatively. Different sentences say that he had different traits to his personality such as being full of himself. You would be able to understand this from the quote “look on my work, ye mighty, and despair”. What this quote says, is that he wants everyone that visits his sculpture to look at all the things he had created. By the word despair I feel like he is describing the emotion of all the people below him. It describes the way they have lost all hope in life and are just living as slaves, to work for a feared leader; who must have terrorized them. This is so they understand who he is and what he will do to the people of the land. He shows his status in the chain of leadership by quoting ‘king of kings’. The quote on the pedestal gave of the idea that he thought everything would still be there after his reign, instead his kingdom actually got destroyed and started to decay, so he ended up with his image, which had nothing to show except for two pillars and his sculpture. All the work he had created had been buried by tons of sand.
Time in the poem is shown by many words, but one word stood out the most out of the rest: ‘Antique’ means an item worth something due to the age or quality of the item. The word antique is use in two ways in the poem. One way it is used is to describe the land. Antique isn’t an adjective, but is used as one because of its meaning. The second way it is used is to tell the reader that there is an artefact (sculpture) on the land. The word shows that there is a lot of history in the land that the traveller is from.
Another way that the poem shows time is that it is written in past tense, stating that the event had already happened; potentially a long time ago. Also some of the words like ‘survive’ and ‘decay’ are things that happen over a long period of time, so if the work of Ozymandias had decayed. We can conclude that his reign was quite a long time ago. ‘Survive’ mean to live or exist especially in danger or hardship. The case the people are in relates to living in hardship; as they lived in torturing condition and suffered doing work all the time non-stop. They had to survive which was a struggle for people, most likely due to Ozymandias’s power over the people and the things he forces them to do.
The word decay was essential when using a word to find a way to describe the change in time in the poem. This would be because ‘to decay’ is the process which something rots or decomposes. This means it is slowly disintegrating just like Ozymandias’s power did. This happened over a very long period of time and if Ozymandias’s work decayed until nothing was there.
At the start of the poem the text is written switching from past tense to present tense. I know it is in past tense at the start as the word ‘met’ is the past tense version of meet. The second line of the poem says ‘said’ which tell us the person had already said it in the past. The poet wrote the poem in a very confusing way. It is written in the past speaking about the past. But the poet played around with the text and changed it from past to present. This quote shows this ‘well those passions read, which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things’. ‘Survive’ is in present tense because the past tense of survive is survived. Whereas stamped is in past tense because the present tense of stamped is stamp.
More Ext:
In the travellers story there are different types of figurative language like personification and metaphors. The entire text itself has a pattern to it. It is called iambic pentameter, which is when each line of the poem has 10 syllables. The quote ‘legs of stone, stand in the desert’ is a type of personification because stone pillar don’t have legs. Another type of figurative language used was a hyperbole. Which is when something is over exaggerated? ‘Colossal wreck, boundless and bare’ is one of the quotes were hyperbole is used. This is because it implies that there was a lot of destruction that went on forever. This type of language gives the poem a stronger meaning. From the text its show Ozymandias was a king that thought highly about himself. He looked down on them and thought of them a nothing besides lifeless things. Shelley wants the reader to think about a powerful leader, who now only has a statue to represent the power he had. I feel like Shelley wanted all the thing Ozymandias earned would stay for everyone to see and the things he didn’t earn would be destroyed and covered up by tons of sand. This to me show what things as a leader he deserved to have as reverence to his reign.
