Capital punishment

With the development of the world , the rate of the crimes has increased rapidly, and the words like war, blood sheet , dark places became usual . as a result of that , different kinds of punishments has been applied , such as :fine, prison sentence, and the hardest punishment is the capital punishment in case of killing someone.
Most people around the world are against the capital punishment , because they believe in mercy and that the criminal should have another chance to be effective member in the society, those people suggest to offer the psychological treatment to the criminal instead of killing him with the hope of being a better person, but the worst situations , he cold put in jail.
On the other hand part of the people agree with the death penalty, because they believe that the murders deserve to die as a result of talking innocent soul and the other people, will learn and think twice before pointing a weapon to someone. Due to this, the crimes rate will decrees.
In my pint of view , it is fair to apply the capital punishment on the murderers, so the order people observe and prefer think to payback by killing their enemy. Also , our god mentioned in the holy Quran that the killer should killed and the criminal should be punished with a punishment that goes with his crime. And the result is that our community will live in peace.

Portmanteau

Portmanteau

Portmanteau
A "portmanteau" is a blend of two (or more) distinct words to create a single new word that combines the meanings of the original words. More famous examples include brunch, smog, and spork. Portmanteau words should not be confused with syllabic abbreviations such as sitcom, Interpol, and parsec.
This usage of the word "portmanteau" (which originally was a French word for a small suitcase), was coined by Lewis Carroll in Through the Looking Glass, when Humpty Dumpty explains to Alice the meaning of the strange words in "Jabberwocky".
"Well, 'slithy' means 'lithe' and 'slimy'... You see it's like a portmanteau-there are two meanings packed up into one word... 'Mimsy' is 'flimsy' and 'miserable' (there's another portmanteau for you)."
From this specific meaning, the word "portmanteau" has come to take on a general meaning of any idea or concept that carries multiple or mixed elements or meanings. For example, a movie reviewer might say that the film "was a portmanteau of tired cliches and hackneyed dialogue" and an anthopologist might point out that "The word 'culture' is a portmanteau that can mean many things to different people."
Linguists have also taken up the word and created the technical linguistics term "portmanteau morpheme" to describe morphemes that fuse two or more grammatical categories. Linguists reserve "portmanteau" for this usage only, ignoring Carroll's original intent, and refer to portmanteau words by the less interesting term "blends."
But getting back to Carroll's definition of a portmanteau word, here are some notable portmanteaus (or "portmanteaux," if you're feeling particularly French today):

Electrocution, from electricity and execution
Edutainment, from education and entertainment
Administrivia, from administrative and trivia
Affluenza, from affluence and influenza
Animatronic, from animate and electronics
Emoticon, from emotion and icon
Infomercial, from information and commercial
Manwich, from man and sandwich
Quasar (quasi-stellar + star)
Socialite (social + light)
Telethon (television + marathon)

In conclusion the portmanteau word, formed by packing parts of two words together to create another, combining the sense of each.

My Fair Lady

My Fair Lady

My Fair Lady is an unforgettable theatre experience, transporting audiences back in time to an astonishingly real Edwardian London populated by a host of colourful characters. The themes of this spectacular musical are enduring and quintessentially English, and are as relevant today as they have always been. My Fair Lady is also a celebration of the power of music to tell stories, illuminate characters and beguile the audience.
Musical theatre provides a wonderful opportunity to study the interplay of lyrics, music and narrative in creating in-depth characters in a dramatic piece of work. And what better musical to turn to than My Fair Lady, rooted as it is in both a dramatic masterpiece and a great musical theatre tradition. Lerner and Loewe's creation, based on Bernard Shaw's 1912 play Pygmalion, is as much a classic play as a classic musical. A profusion of musical styles, characters, drama and comedy, My Fair Lady connects with audiences in the 21st century just as powerfully as it did in the mid-20th century.
The enduring character of Eliza Doolittle, Cockney flower girl turned high society debutante, serves as the pivotal role in a musical which seeks to examine class distinctions, society's prejudices, the gender divide, identity and transformation. Classic musical numbers 'Wouldn't It Be Loverly?', 'The Rain In Spain', and 'A Hymn To Him' evoke and bring to life these essential themes and the musical's diverse and absorbing characters.
This wonderful show teamed with this exciting new resource will bring My Fair Lady alive for your students, guiding them towards an understanding of the power of song and music and its ability to highlight and contribute towards the drama of a play. With the use of inspiring and creative materials, it will provide students with opportunities for imaginative and empathetic writing, drama, character analysis and criticism and debate.
In my assignment I chose a deferent way to write about my fair lady, I will do literary analysis.
Literary analysis:

1. Context

My Fair Lady is based on George Bernard Shaw's Pygmalion, one of the favorite plays of all time. In this famous play, Shaw examines the influence of training and education on success and social class. He uses Eliza to show that training and education can help someone rise from humble beginnings to live a happier, more successful, and more confident life.
My Fair Lady was Warner Brothers' most popular musical romantic comedy. It was also their most expensive film up to that time, totaling in at $17 million. Part of the reason for the expense was that Warner Brothers had to pay $5.5 million to purchase the film rights to the already popular Broadway hit. My Fair Lady ended up being one of the top five biggest hits of 1964.

2. Summary and Analysis

Before the first scene of My Fair Lady, viewers sit through an overture where all the credits are shown on a background of beautiful flowers. Beautiful music allows viewers to begin to get the feeling of the film and its characters before the movie even begins. These beautiful, bright-colored spring flowers become the flowers that line the entrance to the Covent Opera House.
My Fair Lady begins as members of the upper echelons of society leave the opera house. As they come out of the building, it begins to rain and the upper class and lower class people mingle. As young Freddy Eynsford-Hill tries to get a cab for his mother, he bumps into Eliza, and causes her to drop her flowers. Eliza begins screaming about how he has ruined her wares.....

3. Characteristic:

Eliza Doolittle is a low-class, uncultured flower girl. To Professor Henry Higgins and other persons of his stature, her speech is painful and her actions uncouth. Viewers cringe and laugh as they listen to Eliza's outrageous and unimaginable Cockney accent that distinguishes her so hideously from the upper classes.
Eliza's emotional well-being is also not at all stable in the beginning of the movie. She has a fear of being observed that reveals her self-consciousness. Additionally, when she feels uncomfortable, she makes hasty outbursts at whoever happens to be around. However, we see her grow and change throughout the course of the movie, until she is a lady both in actions and in her mental and emotional states

Eliza was a poor girl she had a rood personality and she was impolite, Mr. Hegan changed her to gentle woman who has a strong personality and she became more confident in herself. She fell in love with Mr. Hegan but he did not treat her in a good way and she was ambitious and had a goal in her life and it was to have flower shop one day. In the other hand Barbra was ambitious and she dreamed to be successful in her book down with love, but the difference between then was that Barbra accomplished and she made her dream come true, but Eliza she made Mr. Hegan dream come true and not hers which was to have a flower shop. Eliza loved Mr. Hegan but he refused her, catcher block love Barbra but she didn’t show her inner feeling toward him, she kept refusing him.

4. Theme:

Social Class
Throughout the movie, we see social classes taking two forms, either high class or low class. In the time period in which the movie is set, middle class is not an option. Higgins' experiment is primarily focused on the possibility that social class has less to do with money or connections and more to do with proper education, training, and manners.
By using low-class Eliza as his pupil, Higgins (and Pickering) can prove once and for all that anyone can become a lady if only she has the proper information and training. By being trained as a lady and having lived on the streets, Eliza is able to transcend the requirements and standards of both classes, but that sadly leaves her in a "no-man's land" from which she has little ability

5. Symbol:

Phonograph
The phonograph represents a number of things throughout the movie. In the beginning, the phonograph is the tool by which Higgins examines a number of linguistic patterns. After Eliza moves in, Higgins uses the phonograph to train her in her speech and language habits. After Eliza has learned to speak correctly, the phonograph symbolizes her freedom and independence as well as her achievement in changing her long-standing habits. Finally, in the last scene, the phonograph represents Higgins' desire to have Eliza in his life, as he listens to it after he arrives home from arguing with her.

White Dress
As Eliza goes to the races, she wears a beautiful white dress. The white symbolizes her introduction and inauguration into "polite" society. Although the introduction does not proceed perfectly

I really wanted to change my way of writing, I chose my fair lady and analyze it because this story has many thing to study.

Freedom writers

Freedom writers

A real live inner-city school teacher tells it like it is today, when it comes to the dangerous myths perpetuated in movies like Freedom Writers. While the ongoing problems of poor working conditions, low pay, and lack of respect plague the profession, teachers are expected to be miracle workers and heroes in a failing system. A system that leaves millions of children behind in wretched, schools located in war zones.
A true hero leaped off to be my best hero I ever watched. Her name is Erin Gruwell, whose passion to become a teacher is soon challenged by a group of Black, Latino, and Asian gangbangers who hate her even more than each other. When Erin begins to listen to them in a way no adult has ever done, she begins to understand that for these kids, getting through the day alive is enough -- they are not delinquents but teenagers fighting "a war of the streets" that began long before they were born. Erin gives them something they never had from a teacher before -- respect. For the first time, these teens experience a hope that maybe; they might show the world that their lives matter and they have something to say.
The teacher Erin Gruwell has the distinctive characteristics of all teachers was in the same school, she is gracious she was friendly with her student she gives them the respect that they never had, she is intelligent she solved the a racial incident occurred in her classroom through many solutions, she used the situation to create an ongoing dialogue amongst her students, many of whom were plagued by violence, poverty, and despair in their own lives and neighborhoods, and were in turn, at odds with one another. Recognizing their oppressed potential, Gruwell challenged her students in a way that they had never been challenged before. Also The students have learned from people of many backgrounds. Rather than studying literature and history from textbooks, through reading, And through journal writing they boldly confronted the violence and hatred that had so plagued their lives, this Miracle teacher turned a group of at-risk teens into best-selling authors. She’s faith in, and dedication to, her students, Gruwell restored hope in those who had lost it long before, and instilled a desire to pursue higher education in teens whose own neighborhoods would likely have dragged them down otherwise.
In my conclusion I really liked the story, I liked the way Gruwell developed her creative model of education that turned to be a story of success, I liked her way of teaching and encouraging her student to be the best and solve their problems together. And I summarize her creative of education into three-stage process:
1. Engaged her students by establishing a collaborative and supportive academic environment that will draw the students into the learning process, help them make connections between whom they are as individuals and who they are as students.
2. Enlighten the students by making them practicing different kinds of writing, she made them write in journals about their personal life and public speaking, and becoming critical thinkers.
3. Empower your students by bringing the outside world into the classroom, and taking their classroom into the world.

It is the kind of movie that encourages you to think out of the box and to believe that small actions can make a difference.
