Situasjonar:

-         -  Fleire sanksjonar har han utført på meg, i form av vennskapelege slag mot min skulder.

-        -  Gründercampen med han var ein spesiell oppleving. Han satt og så på Hotel Cæsar på sin Tv2 Sumo-konto

Kvar dag går han inn i klasserommet, nokon gonger seinare enn andre. Som oftast er han nokon minutt for sein, men det gjer ikkje noko, for han er ein praktkar av dei sjeldne. Inn kjem han med sin svarte joggebukse og blå boblejakke. Brillene sitt litt skeivt på, men det ser heilt greitt ut, for det er jo han! Han ser heilt avslappa ut. Eg går bort til han og spør han korleis det går med aksjane. Dei aksjane hans bestemmer humøret hans, så om dei ikkje går heilt bra så er ikkje humøret heilt på topp. Men som regel er aksjane heilt på topp, og da er jo humøret like så.  Eg synes det er artig å pirke litt borti han, for då får eg litt liv i ham. Elles er han altfor avslappa. Men han liker ikkje at eg gjer slik, så da må det sanksjoneras. Det gjer ikkje så mykje, for eg veit at energinivået hans høgnar litt. Da orkar han litt meir. Og da er han klar for ein ny skuledag!

Oppgave A

Han så ganske redd ut der han gikk. Lei seg. Men gutane kunne ikkje sjå det. Dei bare følgde vidare etter ham, som om dei var kjøttlystne hyenar, ropte ukvemsord til han. Eg bare sto der, på andre sida av gata, sa ingenting. Eg bare sto der og så på gutane følgje etter den stakkarslege mannen som ikkje hadde gjort nokon ting. Kva skulle eg gjere? Eg kunne ikkje bare stå og sjå på ein uskyldig mann bli hetsa og mobba. Så eg opna munnen, prøvde å seie noko. Eg sat i gong stemmebandet, det vibrerte, dirra, eg prøvde å presse nokon ord ut. Men i staden kom det nokon hese utpust som ikkje kunne høyrast. Så eg lat det bare passere. Så mannen gå vidare nedover, med to hyenar på slep. 

My favorite Sports Moment; When Liverpool won against AC Milan in the Champions League final in 2005

I remember sitting with my dad and my grandfather at home watching the game. It was a cold night in May, and the rain was pouring down from the grey sky. The discolored grass was covered in frost, and the candles were all alight. It was a perfect night for football.

I remember sitting in the couch, watching AC Milan scoring goals by goals in pain, and suddenly I realized that Milan was leading with 3 points on Liverpool. I remember realizing that this night was not going to be a pleasant night after all. I felt the tears were pushing on, and they were about to run down my cheeks. I started wondering if the next half was going to be as sad and painful as the first one.

The second half began. I tried to compile the hope that was still left inside me together. I found some, and I decided it was enough to watch the second half. Suddenly I heard the Liverpool-fans singing the most beautiful and touching song ever made: “You’ll Never Walk Alone”. I could feel the small amount of hope left in me increasing drastically as the fans sang!

And I certainly think that the hope inside my favorite team started to increase as well! Suddenly I see Steven Gerrard flying through the air, heading the black and white ball of leather in the back of the net. The entire stadium is shouting and cheering of joy! I could feel the hope roaring inside me! Just minutes later I see our wonder-substitute Vladimir Smicer receiving the ball from Dietmar Hamman. He’s heading towards AC Milan’s goal, charging his right foot and hits it. I remember watching the ball moving against the goal in a tremendous speed. And what do I see? I see the ball stretching the net as if the net was a big cone! Smicer scores!! I was ecstatic, what would happen now!? And then, four minutes later, Steven Gerrard is heading against the goal. He receives the ball from Milan Baros right in front of the goal, and... NO! He has fallen! It’s a penalty! I couldn’t believe my own eyes. Liverpool was now back in the game, and now our chance to make it tie was here! I’ve never felt my heart beating as fast as it did when Xabi Alonso went up to take the penalty. I remember the whistle was blown and Alonso ran against the ball. He hit the ball. It was heading against the target, but I also see Milan’s goalkeeper Dida diving in the in the right direction. He saved the penalty! But Alonso has not given up. The ball is still free, and he hits it again. This time it was pushed into the goal! I could not believe my own eyes. The score was 3-3 now! It was a tie, and the match was heading towards extra time and possibly a penalty shootout.

In the extra time, AC Milan was pushing against Liverpool’s goal, but a fantastic Jerzy Dudek in the goal made it extremely hard for Milan to score! He did several extraordinary saves! This was going to end up as a tie, I just knew it. I knew this was going to result in a penalty shootout!

The shootout was now up and I could see the players suffering of nervousness. I was just hoping that our players had strength and stamina to make a last attempt on winning this match.

Serginho for Milan is up to take the first penalty. He looks like a nervous wreck! He runs against the ball. He hits it! But the ball flies over the top of the goal! What an amazingly bad penalty! Now Dietmar Hamman runs up to take the first penalty for Liverpool. Finally we have the chance to take the lead of this match. Hamman hits the ball and… He barely scores!! Dida got his hand on it, but it was not enough. Then Pirlo is coming to take his penalty for Milan. I remember that I was praying for Dudek to save this one! That could make us a huge lead! Pirlo is heading against the ball. Dudek dances around on the line, disturbing Pirlo. Pirlo hits it, but it’s saved by Dudek!!! Extraordinary save by Jerzy Dudek!!

But this was not over. Djibril Cissé was going to take his penalty now. I prayed for him to score on this one. An even bigger lead was to come if this one goes in. And now Cissé’s heading against the ball. He shoots it to the right, and he tricks Dida to dive the wrong way!! The ball goes in! 2-0!! How was Milan going to catch up on this one? Maybe Thommesen could do something about it. The man mentioned was taking AC Milan’s third penalty. Thommesen hits it hard, and sadly the ball goes in the back of the net. A small amount of hope was raging inside of the Milan-fans!

And now it was John Arne Riise. For once, Liverpool was not going to score this time. Dida made an amazing save! But still we had the best opportunity to win this! Now it was Kaka for Milan. And again they score! Well placed penalty by Kaka! But now it was Vladimir Smicer’s turn, the second goal scorer in second half. If he scored at that point, Liverpool would have the match point which means that if Milan missed the next penalty, Liverpool would win! And what do I see? I see a perfectly placed penalty from the amazing Smicer! Extraordinary!

Now it was all up to Andrej Shevchenko. If he didn’t score now, AC Milan would lose the match. I was shaking of nervousness and agitation! This was our shot, our shot at winning this whole damn thing. Shevchenko was taking this one. I cannot believe the pressure on his shoulders on that moment. He looked very nervous as he was walking/running toward the ball. Shevchenko hit the ball. It seems like the ball is heading towards the middle of the goal. And I see Dudek diving to the right. I thought the ball was going in. I thought he had scored. But then I looked up, squinting at the TV. The ball was not in the net. It was rolling on the grass in front of the goal-line. Suddenly I see Dudek sprinting against his teammates, shouting and cheering, waving his arms in the sky. At that moment I realized we had actually won it. Liverpool had won Champions League!!!

what i liked/disliked about the book!!

What I liked/disliked about the book

Personally, I think the book “The curious incident of the dog in the night-time” was a very weird book. The book is very different from other “normal” books, so “The curious incident” is absolutely not an old fashion book. I think I’m a guy who likes ordinary books where you can follow the story throughout the book. “The curious incident” is very different from other books, since it doesn’t follow the story all the time. The book has a lot of random facts about Christopher and other things he interests in. According to me, these facts don’t have a lot to do with the main story in the book, which is the solving of the mystery of the murder of the neighbour-dog Wellington. This is why I don’t think the book is that great, because all of the random facts make it hard to follow the story. Even though the facts make it kind of confusing, they make the book seem very realistic and you get an insight in what life is like for a fifteen-year-old (and three months and to days) with asberger’s syndrome. This is what I actually liked with the book, that it seemed, for me, like a very realistic book. So even though I found the book pretty confusing and unclear, it seems like it’s a very realistic book. I think I would like it if the author concentrated a little more on the main story. I know that the book was supposed to be like this, but I guess I’m just a little conservative when it comes to books…

Forsinket bildebeskrivelse av Ola, Andreas og Øystein

Bileteanalyse:

            Bildet som er beskrevet kan kalles flere ting. Nøyaktig hvilken type bilde det er kan ikke helt besvares. Mange kan tolke det som et landskapsbilde, andre noe annet. Det vi helt klart kan si er at dette bildet er et fotografi, tatt av en mobiltelefon.

Bildet er et fotografi (i sin helhet) av to personer som ser mot hverandre. De går sammen på en gangbro som strekker seg over en lang linje. Været er grått og man kan se at det har regnet ved å se på selve broa som er bløt. Personene står i forgrunnen og er også hovedmotivet i bildet. Det fokuseres på personene og på hva de gjør. Bildet er tatt i normalperspektiv eller øyehøyde som vi vil kalle det, og det fordi man ser at kameraet er rettet mot personene i samme høyde som dem.

Forgrunn:

            I forgrunnen står de to personene og ser i retning mot hverandre. Det er her hovedmotivet ligger, nemlig de to personene. Det er vått og glatt der de går, og vi kan se et gjenspeil av dem på den våte broa. Vi kan også se et gjenspeil av gjerdene som strekker seg langsetter broa.

Mellomgrunn:

            Vi vil si at mellomgrunnen er det lille landskapet av hus og trer vi kan se bak hovedmotivet. Hele dette landskapet strekker seg over hele breddesiden på bildet. Landskapet går i en slags kurve fra venstre til høyre, hvor det til venstre er litt lavt og til høyre en del høyere. Landskapet ser tettbygd ut med mange hus. Vi kan også skimte en grønn slette (idrettsbanen) nedenfor det tettbygde landskapet. Det strekker seg også en lang stolpe midt i mellomgrunnen. Fra normalperspektiv ser stolpen høyere ut enn mellomgrunnslanskapet.

Bakgrunn:

            Vi vil si at bakgrunnen er den store grå himmelen bakerst i bildet. Den store grå himmelen sier at været er trist og regnfullt. Det er et bevis på det våte underlaget i forgrunnen. Den grå himmelen sier også noe om stemningen i bildet. Grå farge og regn sier gjerne at det er trist og noe amper stemning, og denne detaljen har for flere stor betydning for tolkningen av bildet.

Komposisjon

Mellomgrunnen i bildet viser en ro og avslappet stemning. Det brede landskapet ligger som en slags bølge og skaper en rolig og noe dyssende stemning. Men de ulike delene av bildet kan virke som om de strider litt imot hverandre. For mange, skaper den grå himmelen en noe trist og frustrerende stemning. Folk gruer seg til å møte stygt vær, så en slik himmel skaper gjerne tristhet og dårlig stemning. Dette strider litt mot den avslappende mellomgrunnen med dens bølgende, dyssende linjer. De lange, rette linjene i forgrunnen derimot, stemmer godt med mellomgrunnen. Rette, solide linjer gir som vi vet en ro. De gjentatte gjerdeplankene som ligger loddrett i gjerdet skaper også en rytme. 

Tasks from class

TASKS

·        - What is the difference between looting and rioting?

Looting is a less risky activity than rioting, because looting involves a wider range of people, like children, women and older people, so violence is mostly not involved in this.

·        - Define the underlined (blue) words and phrases. Also note down other words you find difficult, and find out what they mean.

Social exclusion: Rights that everyone should be available to, like health care and democratic participation, are sometimes not available to some groups/organizations/ethnic groups etc. These processes can be called social exclusion.

Disregard social norms: To “ignore” the social laws, which are the accepted behaviors within a certain group.

High-unemployment: A high amount of people that don’t have a job and income.

Criminologist: A scientist that specialize in criminology and how criminal people act like.

Opportunism: A conscious strategy or behavior where someone exploits the surroundings to their own good/advantage and doesn’t respect the ideal principles, the relationship between thinking and reality.

Lack of intervention: when someone doesn’t have the ability to try to reduce suffering within the society/group etc. through an armed conflict.

Consumerism: The interaction between individuals (the consumer) and the society in growth economy.

Catalyst of unrest: Making the unrest come faster than it should.

·       -  Could this happen in Trondheim? In Oslo? Why/why not?

It’s said in the article that the stealing and robbing were a reaction of high-unemployment and low-income families. Since Norway is such a wealthy country with good social security and low unemployment I don’t think something like this would happen in Norway. Norwegian people wouldn’t solve something with crime and stealing, they have other and better solutions. In Oslo, there are some bad environments/groups and neighborhoods where something likely may could happen, but also here people are much wealthier than in other countries, so anything that bad like what happened in Tottenham couldn’t happen.

·        - What can this say about the social conditions in England? How may this be connected to the traditional class system?

It comes to me that the social class system is still a reality in England, where the poorest people are the disadvantaged with a bad education, job etc. and the wealthiest are people with better education and childhood. England is still affected by the traditional class system, but in a little newer version.
