Woodstock

Give Peace a Chance - John Lennon - Anti War Song

 Give Peace A Chance: John Lennon


Lyrics: Click Here (Genius.com)


What is the meaning of this song:

This song is about how everyone wants peace and people don't want the fight in the Vietnam war to continue. This song was made because many believe that their country couldn't be fighting in a war that has nothing to do with them, and many thought that the war shouldn't have started to begin with so everyone started to fight for peace in their country.

This line proves this as all they want is peace and are trying to tell people to give peace a chance hence the name give peace a chance: (This line is the chorus)

All we are saying is give peace a chance

All we are saying is give peace a chance


This song became a staple in anti-war song and this song was big on the movement for countries like America because why should they be fighting in another country civil war. Civil wars are wars between the city and it's kind of pointless because they get nothing out of it anyway.

The Beatles: Here Comes The Sun

 

 Here Comes The Sun
Song Title: Here Comes The Sun
What is this song about: This song is about how the sun represents the light so the light is coming out on the darkness and is lighting everything up.  This shows that there is good in the world and the sun coming is representing that good is coming and good is here. This also shows that the dark days are gone.

Here comes the sun do, do, do

Here comes the sun
And I say it's all right
Little darling, I feel that ice is slowly melting
Little darling, it seems like years since it's been clear
These lyrics show this point as without the sun (light) it's dark and unclear so the light is a new start almost which is one of the things the Beatles stand for.
How does this compare to a song from the 1940s: This song is very different from a song from the 1940s because it's not a standstill song that is very structured but instead upbeat and loud compare to the basic songs from those times. These songs were huge to help with culture and how people present themselves in today's day and age. This song was a lot more active and upbeat compared to the 1940s.

Ph Test

 Aim: To test the PH of a bunch of household chemicals.

Method: Add a few drops of each chemical to a spot on your spotting tile. you test the chemicals using litmus paper. Put a few drops of universal indicator to test the chemicals. 

Results: Toilet cleaner in blue litmus paper was red, in red litmus paper it was red, in Universal Indicator it was red. Dishwashing liquid in blue litmus paper it was blue, in red litmus paper it was blue, in Universal Indicator it was Green/Yellow. Floor cleaner in blue litmus paper was blue, in red litmus paper it was Indigo, in Universal Indicator it was red. Spray and Wipe in blue litmus paper was blue, in red litmus paper it was blue, in Universal Indicator it was blue.

Discussion: If the litmus paper goes red it means it acid or if it goes blue it means its a base. Toilet cleaner is an acid because the litmus paper will go red. Dishwashing liquid is a base because the litmus paper went blue. Floor cleaner is also a base because the litmus paper goes blue. Spray and Wipe is a base because it's not corrosive and the paper went blue.

Conclusion: The experiment went good because I have already done this before so it wasn't that complicated. I wouldn't do anything differently because its pretty simple on how we have done it and you don't want it to be overly complicated.

After the wright brother immortalized themselves at kitty hawk, they went on to make a commercial aircraft. The first two were 'floatplanes', called hawks, and the last one was sold in New Zealand and later disappeared from official records. Had Petronel discovered the Hawk? Yes. Was she restoring it? She was in an abandoned hanger.  And what happened to the money from the American Army payroll? They used the money to help rebuild the Hawk in the hanger and build the hanger a bit more. 

The hawks where planes use in ww1 but one person wanted to rebuild one and fix it up and fly it around they used a lot of money and bought an abandoned hanger and used it to hold the plane in a place where no one would check in there so she built the plane after a long time and was going to fly it.. but never got around to it.

Overall: This book is an amazing book to read epically if you are bored / just feel like reading during class.
