Charlie and the chocolate factory



       Charlie and the chocolate factory

There is a few differences from the characters in the novel and in the movie. Willy Wonka was described as quite colorful in the book, but in the movie he isn’t that colorful in my opinion. But Willy Wonka has a pretty similar personality as in the book. Willy seems a bit rude to all the children except Charlie. Charlie seems pretty similar in the movie as I pictured him looking like in the book. All the children are from different countries like Germany, United States and England in the movie. In the book the children are all from Great Britain.

In the book the time period was back in the 1940’s, but in the movie there were a lot of mixtures between the late 1900’s and the mid 1900’s. In the movie things like the shops and the way everyone dressed was more from the 1940’s. There were also a few things in the movie that didn’t even exist back in the 1940’s, there were video games that you saw Mike Teavee play, and the cars were a lot different in the movie than the cars in the mid 1900’s.

There was a 3rd person narrator in both the book and in the movie. In the book you never knew who the one was that was telling the story, but in the movie you saw that the narrator was one of the oompa loompas.

Information freedom – Whom can you really trust?



Information freedom – Whom can you really trust?

I’m going to talk about Anonymous which are an associated network of hackers. They are a movement that stands for freedom of speech and disagree with a lot of decisions by the government. They don’t want them to hide important information that can easily change people’s minds about certain things. I do agree with a lot of things Anonymous stand for myself. The government shouldn’t hide such vital information and lie to the public in my opinion. We should know certain things the government tries to hide. Just for an example when a video was leaked from Wikileaks of an American helicopter shooting and killing civilians in Iraq. I think it’s disgraceful that the American government was trying to hide that information about the war and lie to everyone. I think a lot of newspapers and even TV and some parts of the Internet lie to us as well.

Wikileaks is a website that posts secret information. Wikileaks leaked documents from Kaupthing Bank just before the collapse of Iceland’s banking sector, which caused financial crisis for Iceland. The document showed that large sums of money were loaned to various owners of the bank, and the debts were written off. People were right to know about that because the people put their money in that bank and deserved to know what was really going on. Well it wouldn’t feel that great to log on to your bank account and see that there’s no money in my account at all.

Operation payback was basically an attack on the US goverment and also on bank websites who had canceled all facilities from Wikileaks. So what they did was that they used DDoS attacks which can make webpages unavailable.

In countries like Egypt and North Korea a lot of parts of the Internet are censored. In my opinion that’s wrong because I think everybody should be able to get information from the Internet if they want to. When a country censors such things as free internet, you kind off understand that they are afraid to show something. Surely there are things on the internet that probably should be censored, but at the same time I think some countries censor information that’s really important for the people to get access to and get to know about which is completely wrong, and cowardly by the country to do in my opinion.

                                            Who am I?

Hi! My name is Andreas Petersson and i live in Gualöv. My biggest interests are computers and different types of technology. When i'm at home i usually spend time in front of my computer where i play alot of games and chat with my friends on skype. My favourite school subjects are computer engineering and network engineering. English isn't like one of my favouite subjects in school but i actually don't think it's that bad either. In my opinion English is a very important subject in school because it's such a widely spoken language across the world. I think English is a good use for example using manuals because most manuals are written in english and it's also good to use in conversations with people that doesn't understand your own language. My English education in secondary school was alot about reading and grammar. I would like to learn more about communicating with others in English 5 & 6. I think my aim will be for at least a C or B grade in English just because English has never really been a difficult subject for me so far in school.

                                   Uppsats om mig själv

Hej jag heter Andreas Petersson. Jag är 15 år och kommer från Gualöv som ligger precis utanför Bromälla. Jag gillar mest att sitta framför datorn och skypa med kompisar och spela spel.
 Jag valde att gå på IT-gymnasiet för jag är mycket intresserad av hur datorer fungerar osv. När jag blir stor vill helst jobba som antingen IT-tekniker, IT-support eller nätverkstekniker. Men jag vet inte riktigt om jag tänker studera vidare på högskola efter gymnasiet. Jag kunde redan en hel del om datorer innan jag började på IT-gymnasiet vilket känns lite som en fördel för mig. Svenska är kanske inte just något ämne jag är jätte intresserad av men jag hoppas jag kan gå ut med betyget C. I ämnet svenska vill jag lära mig att kunna skriva mycket längre texter, bli bättre muntligt och kunna mer om grammatik.
