Ok, this is the sixth episode of Super Mario bros z.
Now before you watch, if you want to get backround info on this then look at the earlier episodes.
This episode is mainly a.. how should I say this?
Devastatingly hyper-action thriller blockbuster show!
This episode is about a clash between the Mario brothers, Sonic, Shadow the hedgehogs and Yoshi vs. the Koopa brothers vs. the Axem Rangers.
If you want to see what happened before look at part 1 of episode 6.
This part is when Mecha Sonic comes and well, you just have to see it.

This essay is about comparing and contrasting to Oka, Ipperwash and Caledonia.
Oka once had a crisis.
The native people (the Mohawk) had a protest about the mayor expanding a golf course on their land.
The mayor thought that the land belonged to them since it was a municipality.
The Mohawks thought that their land was passed down from their ancestors to be rightfully theirs.
A stand off has been provoked and for 78 days the Mohawks stood their ground.
Sometime later shots were fired and Corporal Lemay was dead.
In the end some Mohawks were arrested and beaten, and the mayor decided to cancel the golf expansion project.
The Ipperwash Crisis was an Indigenous land dispute that occurred in Ipperwash Provincial Park, Ontario in 1995.
The Ojibway had been in the park to take their land claim they inherited from their ancestors.
Eventually a violent confrontation with the Opp resulted in a man’s death.
The Government of Canada wanted to use their land as training grounds for World War 2.
In the end the land was given back to them.
The current Grand River land dispute came to the attention of the general public of Canada on Febuary 28, 2006.
The natives were called the 6th nations and they were raising awareness for first nation land claims.
It was like a mini war between them and the Opp.
They’are still fighting today and even made barricades and attacked innocient bystanders.
Want makes these crisises so similar is that they all involve Native peoples and Canada (in this case the Opp).
They’are all fighting or fought for their aboriginal land claims.
In all the protests there was somebody that died because of that.
Between Oka and Ipperwash the land claims as ended being the natives who had won.
But, not all the crisises were resolved, the Caledonia crisis is still happening today.
Oka wanted to stop the expansion of a golf course, Ipperwash wanted their land claims back and Caledonia is raising awareness for land claims.
They all have different native peoples.
In conclusion; Oka, Ipperwash, and Caledonia were about the native peoples that had a problem with something that Canada wanted to do.
Back then there were land disputes, now there are land disputes and probabley in the future it would still be the same.

The Oka all started with a land dispute between the Mohawk Nation and the town of Oka, Quebec.
What happened was the mayor of Oka wanted to expand their golf course to attract more tourism, but the expansion plan was to go on top of the Mohawk’s burial grounds and their sacred grove of pine trees.
So they decided to do a protest against it.
It lasted from July 11th 1990 to September 26th 1990, which was 78 days.
What they first did was they made a barricade so the police wouldn't come in.
Eventually, the highways were being blocked as well and many citizens of Oka were upset.
So they called in SWAT to help stabilize the problem.
But the tear gas they threw came back at them and some were wounded.
Then the worst had happened, 15 minutes of continuous shots from guns, after that happened Corporal Marcel Lemay was dead.
Finally, after everything that happened the Mohawks casually walked out, but they got beaten up by the police and arrested.
In the end the mayor decided to cancel the project because of everything that just happened.

How does a diamond first get made?
Where does it go after? Once it's finished what happens?
Well, the way a diamond first comes to be may sound simple, but it occurs over a long period of time.
Firstly, carbon atoms form together to make the shape of a diamond, the diamond is made out of pure carbon.
Next it gets up to the Earth's crust by volcanoes and earthquakes, however if a diamond is not cooled quickly enough then it won't form a diamond.
After being brought up to the surface they are mined out using traditional tools or by alluvial mining.
Alluvial mining is when the diamond appears in riverbanks and people get the diamond by using a pan to get the dirt out, but keeps all the heavy stuff at the bottom of it.
Once someone finds a diamond it's known as a rough diamond.
From there the diamond gets shipped to India so they can cut the diamond and make it look outstanding.
Once all the shipment of diamonds is cut to perfection they are sent out to diamond banks such as the ones in London.
Finally they lock it up for a long time until they put it up for sale either by some diamond companies or some private people.
In the end the diamond is used for showing how rich people are or as an engagement ring to marry someone. It either makes someone to be seen as a person of higher class and many rap artists and celebrities wear them for show.
In my opinion, it makes them a bigger target for robbers.

Have you ever seen a duck go up to a lemonade stand before?
Well this one does, but he doesn't want lemonade.
This is about a duck who went up to a lemonade stand and he asked the man running the stand.
"Hey!" *Bum* *Bum* *Bumbum* "Got any grapes?"
And ever since that he asked the man everyday for grapes, I don't want to spoil the mid-way point so you just have to watch the video.
Enjoy and tell me what you think of it.
P.s. It is not mine since i don't have the application to make videos (or even a Camcorder).

I will be doing a compare and contrast essay about Blood Diamond and Chanda's Secrets.
First let's start with Blood Diamond.
Blood Diamond has huge scenes of war, fighting, killing, blood and death.
Soloman's son was taken by the R.U.F and trained to become a child soldier. Later having found him Tifa has had a changed personality, when he found him Tifa hated him.
This movie as you may guess is about diamonds and what some people in Africa do to get them for the western world.
Some people may have remembered this from watching Blood Diamond, there was a part where the main character had a girl and she said "Hey I'm AIDs-free!"
White people relax at the hotel and the black people have to work for them.
Now it is on to Chanda's Secrets.
This book mainly refers to HIV and AIDs.
Many people die, but usually only from that disease.
In the book when the mom left, Iris had started to hate Chanda and even ran away.
Chanda`s mom received blood money because her husband and son had died in a DIAMOND mine.
Esther wants to go to a rich country that way she would have a less miserable life in Africa.
Esther wants to reunite with her brothers and sisters.
Now I will compare and contrast between the two subjects.
Tifa hated Soloman when he first met him in an R.U.F camp and so did Iris when her mom left she started hating Chanda.
The movie Blood Diamond has the same connection as blood money.
In Blood Diamond they had 1 person that mentioned AIDs, in Chanda`s Secrets it was entirely about it.
In Blood Diamond many, many people die because of war, but in Chanda`s Secrets there was no mention of a war yet many people had died because of AIDs.
Esther wants to go find her brothers and sisters; Solomen wants to find his son, baby and wife. Both of them take place in Africa.
In conclusion, there are many similarities between Blood Diamond and Chanda`s secrets and also there are many differences too.
It just goes to show you that a movie and a book can be related.

Symbolism's definition is the representation of something in symbolic form or the attribution of symbolic character to something.
An example such as this can be found in Chanda's Secrets.
Such an example is Blood money.
It can be attributed to Chanda's papa and her brother who died in the diamond mine and later get the blood money because of it.
The part where Chanda, Mrs. Tafa and Chanda's mom went to the docter's place to get pills.
The pills represent either 1 of 2 things.
First, it could be a life saver to Chanda's mom or second, it could be pills of death.
Next is the symbol of a cane.
I chose this cane because in part two Chanda's mom starts using the cane which means she was getting sicker and sicker everyday and eventualy she collapses even with the cane.
Finally, I chose my last symbol to be a cemetary.
Because the diamond mine the company opened up has many problems and many people would die just to be stuck in poor mining conditions and would have a higher chance of dieing because of it.

I will be doing my editorial on the "Deer Park Star" on the article called "Where oh where have the teachers gone" by George Vulovic.
I am aware that Mr. Lucas and Ms. Roulston had something that happened them on the Christmas Break.
I think that it is sad that Mr. Lucas got very sick that he had to get a substitute.
Ms. Roulston always had made the pool a fun place with sports and last year a fun class for the people that had her for English.
Now she has to teach at Eglinton P.S until the next school year, but I probabley won't see her and many other students either.
And the students in her class this year are pretty bummed out as well.
Now if Mr. Healy another english teacher that had to leave it would be really painful and I think that english teachers are the most seen teachers in the entire school year.
In conclusion, two of our favourite teachers are gone, but at least their recovering.
Eventualy Mr. Lucas and Ms. Roulston will be back and teaching at Deer Park.

The big news story that I chosen is about 25 people that died in a forest fire in Australia.
So here is the Toronto Star article.
"Wildfires kill 25 in Australlia" by Rohan Sullivan.
25 people died and the toll could rise over 40.
The drought in southern Australia is the worst in a century and bushes are extra dry, the fire explosions have reched a record of 47 C.
The fires were so massive they were visible from space.
"The whole township is pretty much on fire," Peter Mitchell, a resident of the town of Kinglake.
Now it for the ABC Australian news story.
"25 confirmed dead in Victorian Fires" by ?.
25 people confirmed dead toll expected to rise to the 40s.
Six people are known to have lost their lives at Kinglake, four at Wandong, three at Strathewen and one at Clonbinane, all north of Melbourne.
People getting scared, even the Prime Minister, says that the fires are completely shocking and people are very concerned.
Changing weather conditions are making fire direction and behaviour unpredictable and many local roads are cut. Visibility is poor and some roads have been blocked by fallen trees.
The article had eye-whitness accounts about the fire.
Now what I find to be more biased is the Australian newspaper because it has more eye-whitness accounts and more emotion to the fire and the deaths.
While on the Toronto Star they where only caring for the problem.
The Australian newspaper had more articules about the problem and has much more detail then the Toronto Star or probabley any other newspaper.
