Tarzan
"Two Worlds, One Family"- What this means to you.
I believe people who come from different cultural backgrounds can get along with each other.
I believe people who come from different cultural backgrounds can get along with each other.
A message from the movie Tarzan is Family is not determined by blood
This is because no matter where you come from, your DNA doesn’t determine who or where you
belong.
We saw this in the scene where Kala first found Tarzan as a baby and Kerchak didn’t want anything
to do with him.
This is why I think it is important to give people a chance no matter the difference between them.
It makes me think about why people judge others about their backgrounds compared to their families
if they are adopted.
In an ideal world, I would want all slavery to stop and people to just all get along and no war.

Social Studies
Social Studies
In Social Studies, my group and I are working on human rights. We have learnt so many new things, for example, there are that many human rights no one can remember all of them.
The most interesting thing I learned, was that one person's word can change how people treat others as an influence. Our work is about human rights and how it impacts us. It links to our story we are reading in class, the story of Iqbal.

Art - Shading and Toning 8-2-2019
In art, we are learning to shade and tone. I have improved in shading
as when I first started I could not shade and now I am able to shade.
I would use the light markings as they help me get a better result. I am going
to practice my shading and toning by drawing for 20 minutes a day.

ARTEMIS & EPHESUS (Temple of Artemis)👌✌👍
The Temple of Artemis at Ephesus located on the western coast of Asia Minor (modern Turkey) was built in the 6th century BCE, and such was its tremendous size, double the dimensions of other Greek temples including the Parthenon, that it was soon regarded as one of the Seven Wonders of the ancient world. Destroyed by a deliberate fire in the 4th century BCE and then rebuilt, the great Ionic temple survived until Late Antiquity and the Gothic invasion of c. 267 CE. Once again rebuilt, in 401 CE it was torn down for the last time by a Christian mob. Today only the foundations and a solitary column stand as a reminder of the site where once stood the greatest temple in the ancient Mediterranean.
Ephesus (or Ephesos) was a Greek colony on the eastern coast of Asia Minor founded in the 8th century BCE, although there had been Greek settlers in the area from c. 1200 BCE. The Greek goddess Artemis (Diana to the Romans) was particularly important to the Ephesians, indeed her birthplace was considered by them as nearby Ortygia (for other Greeks it was Delos). Artemis was the goddess of chastity, hunting, wild animals, forests, childbirth, and fertility. The goddess’ cult at Ephesus included eastern elements (borrowed from goddesses such as Isis, Cybele, and the “Mistress of the Animals”), as did her representation in art, with surviving statues, unlike elsewhere in Greece, being covered in eggs as symbols of her role as a fertility goddess. Hence, the goddess worshipped at Ephesus is often referred to as Artemis Ephesia.
There had already been several versions of the temple over the centuries at Ephesus, and Herodotus describes the Ephesians tying a rope 1243 metres (4081 ft) long between the old temple and the city in a desperate and as it turned out futile hope that their dedication of the entire city to Artemis would save them from the Lydians. The city had an up and down relationship with the neighbouring kingdom of Lydia, resisting many attacks but at the same absorbing some cultural elements. The Lydian king Croesus (r. 560-546 BCE) conquered Ephesus between 560 and 550 BCE, and then funded the construction of new buildings, including a great new temple to Artemis or, as the Greek historian Herodotus put it, he “dedicated many columns” (Histories, 1.92). An interesting archaeological find at the site was a column drum carrying the inscription 'dedicated by Croesus'.
BEGUN C. 550 BCE, THE MARBLE TEMPLE WOULD TAKE 120 YEARS TO COMPLETE, & LIKE ITS PREDECESSORS, IT WAS DEDICATED TO ARTEMIS & SO WAS SOMETIMES REFERRED TO AS THE ARTEMISIUM.
Seven Wonders of the Ancient World
See the famous Seven Wonders of the Ancient World: Walk through the lush Hanging Gardens of Babylon. Climb the great Lighthouse at Alexandria. Stand before the immense statue of Zeus at Olympia. Marvel at the beauty of the Temple of Artemis in Ephesus...
The ancient Greeks loved to compile lists of the marvellous structures in their world. Though we think of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World as a single list today, there were actually a number of lists compiled by different Greek writers. Antipater of Sidon and Philon of Byzantium drew up two of the most well-known lists.
Why seven? The Greeks thought that the number had mystical significance. Perhaps because it was the total of the known planets (Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn) along with the Sun and Moon.
Many of the lists agreed on six of the seven items. The final place on some lists was awarded to the Walls of the City of Babylon. On others, the Palace of Cyrus, king of Persia took the seventh position. Finally, toward the 6th century A.D., the final item became the Lighthouse at Alexandria.
Since then it was Greeks who made the lists it is not unusual that many of the items on them were examples of Greek culture. The writers might have listed the Stonehenge if they'd seen it, but this place was beyond the limits of their world.
It is a surprise to most people to learn that not all the Seven Wonders existed at the same time. Even if you lived in ancient times you would have still needed a time machine to see all seven. While the Great Pyramid of Egypt was built centuries before the rest and is still around today (it is the only "wonder" still intact) most of the others only survived a few hundred years or less. The Colossus of Rhodes stood only a little more than half a century before an earthquake toppled it. 😀😀😀
