Education

                                  Education in South Africa

All South African's have the right to a basic education. The South African government spends more money in education than most of the other countries in the world. There are two national education departments. The department of Basic Education (DBE), which is primary, and secondary schools, and the department of Higher Education and Training (DHET). The Department of Basic Education is mostly public and private schools. The department of Higher Education is colleges, adult basic education and higher education institutions. Private schools are schools that are not owned by the state, not all private schools in South Africa charge high school fees. According to the national census of 2011, among the South African population, 35.2% of black/African, 32.6% of coloureds, 61.6% of Indians/Asians and 76% of white citizens have completed an education of high school or higher. 41.7% of the total population has completed an education of high school or higher, whereas 8.6% of the population aged 20 years and older has not completed any schooling. Education is compulsory (obligatorisk) up to the end of grade 9 In South Africa.

Den grimme ælling

Vi er i omkring 1800-1900-tallet. Den starter i foråret, men som tiden går ændre sæsonerne sig også. Den starter om morgenen. Den starter med at foregår på en bondegård, så flytter ællingen over til en gammel dames hus, den slutter i en sø tæt på en landsby. Stemningen som der er, virker rar til at starte med, men som de andre ællinger begynder at drille den grimme ælling, virker det som om at det er et ubehageligt sted. 

Personkarakteristik: ællingen virker rar, men han har lavt selvværd og han er ikke stolt. Han er meget ked af det, fordi han ikke har nogle familie eller venner. Han virker meget venlig og imødekommende. Han ønsker heller ikke at hævne sig på de andre. 

Aktantmodel: objektet er at blive smuk, subjekt er ællingen, hjælper hønen, modstanderne er ænderne, modtager er ællingen, giver er moren.

 Tidslinje: den starter med at ællingen bliver født, den bliver mobbet, den stikker af, så møder den en gammel dame som tror det er en høne der kan ligge æg, den bliver reddet af en gammel mand fra at blive frøst ihjel, den finder ud af at den er en svane.

 Teksttype og fortællerteknik: teksten er beskrevet handlingmættet. Der er flere gange i historien hvor der er indirekte tale. Sprog: Følelser i novellen: frygt, had, misundelse og glæde. Fortællersynsvinkel: det er en alvidende fortæller. 

Tekstens problemstillinger: Konflikten er at der ingen der kan lide ællingen fordi de syntes at den er grim og at den er anderledes. Til sidst finder ællingen nogle andre ligesom den og de andre syntes at ællingen er smuk og problemet bliver løst. 

Tema og budskab: Det vigtigste novellen drejer sig om er at det er det indre der tæller. Budskabet er at det er lige meget om man er pæn eller grim, det handler om hvordan man er som person.

Kommunikationsforhold: Novellen er henvendt til dem, der gør grin med andre på grund af deres udseende. 

Fortolking og perspektivering: Da jeg læste novellen lærte jeg virkelig noget ekstraordinært, det er at det ikke er det indre der tæller, men det ydre. Det vil sige at man ikke skal dømme nogle personer bare fordi man ikke kan lide hvordan de ser ud.                                                                                                                                                   

 Personlig vurdering: Budskabet er meget relevant fordi der mange personer der bliver mobbet på grund af deres udseende. Jeg synes novellen er interessant fordi den kommer med noget man godt kan genkende fra verdenen. Jeg synes der er meget kød på novellen, men jeg tror at det er mere kvantitet end det er kvalitet, fordi man sagtens kunne have gjort novellen kortere og mere spændende. 

Nelson Rolihlahla Mandela

Nelson Mandela was a South African anti-apartheid revolutionary and politician who was a South African president from 1994 to 1999. He was the first black president in South Africa. Nelson Mandela was born in 18th. July 1918 and died at the age of 95 in 5th. December in 2013.
Nelson Mandela was the son of one of South Africa's leading dignitaries, Chief Henry Mandela. Already as a young law student, he got involved in political opposition to the white minority regime. Nelson Mandela joined the African National Congress (ANC) in 1942. Nelson Mandela and hi's colleagues made armed actions after the shooting of unarmed protesters at Sharpeville in March and the banning of anti-apartheid groups in 1960. Nelson Mandela became the commander of the ANC's armed wing in 1961. In August of the following year, he got arretsed and jailed for five years. Nelson Mandela got sentenced again in 1964, but this time to life imprisonment, for hi's involvement for planning armed actions. Hi's first prison year's was in the infamous Robben Island Prison, it was a very good prison with maximum security. He got transferred to Pollsmoor prison in Cape Town in 1984. He got moved to the Victor Verster prsion in 1988. Sometimes the prison replaced the guards around Mandela because they were afraid that the guards maybe would treat him good. Mandela rejected offers by hi's jailers for being released in exchange for accepting Bantustan policy while he was in prison. He became a cultural symbol of freedom and equality by all over the world. South African president De Klerk lifted the ban on the ANC and other anti-apartheid organisations. Nelson Mandela got released from Victor Verster prison on 11 February 1990. Nelson Mandela and president De Klerk shared the Nobel Peace Price in 1993.

Nelson Mandela's last public outing was during the closing ceremony of the 2010 FIFA World Cup in Johannesburg. Mandela has been married three times, hi's longest married was a 38 year marriage to Winnie Madikizela, who was hi's second wife. He had two daughter's with Winnie Madikizela, hi's youngest daughter was 18 months old when he was sent to prison. He passed away because of hi's lung infection at hi's home in Johannesburg.

Bogens genre er eventyr.

Handling.   Point of no return.

Personkarakteristik af hovedpersonen: Oscari er en meget dygtig jæger, men han har ikke noget som helst selvtillid. Han er en meget indadvendt person og han snakker ikke så meget. Han har ikke så mange venner og han bliver mobbet meget af de store drenge. Oscari ser meget op til sin far og vil gøre ham stolt. Han kan mange ting ude i vildmarken såsom at lave et camouflagenet eller tænde et bål og han er god til at camouflere sig i skoven, men han er ikke så stærk i forhold til de andre drenge. Hvis man kommer nok ind til Oscari er han en meget sød og hjælpsom dreng.


Anmeldelse:  Jeg vil give bogen et 12 tal fordi jeg synes at bogen er meget god og man virkelig bliver grebet af den og får lyst til at læse den færdig.  Målgruppen for denne bog er unge. Jeg synes faktisk ikke at bogen har nogen svagheder.

Problemregning

                                       Mobilabonnement  

3.1 Mobilabonnement koster 79 kr. Per måned og det koster 49 kroner at oprette abonnementet. Hvor mange penge skal Olivia betale for at oprette og have abonnement i 6 måneder.  6*79kr+49+=523 kr.  

3.2 Skriv et regneudtryk hvor mange penge Olivia skal betale i n måneder.  

       9*79+49=760 

3.3 Olivias abonnement inkluderer 4 timers taletid per måned. Hun betaler 35 øre per minut. Hvor mange penge skal Olivia betale hvor hun bruger 5 timer og 20 minutter på en måned.  

Først regner jeg timerne ud til minutter: 5*60min+20min=320min. Nu skal jeg gange 320 minutter med 0,35 øre og så får jeg det endelige resultat. 320*0,35 øre=112kr.  

Det vil sige at Olivia skal betale 112kr. For 5 timer og 20 minutter.
