In William Shakespeares 'The Merchant of Venice' a key moment that shocked the reader was when Antonio agreed to pay a pound of flesh if he couldn't pay back Shylock. This was shocking because Antonio hated Shylock and promised to miss treat him in the future. Antonio was willing to do the bond even tho Bassanio begged him not to take the risk because it was a silly idea. Finally, because Shylock had never shown mercy and did not at the trial. For these reasons, it is clear this moment was shocking to the reader.

"If you wrong us, we shell not revenge?". (Shakespeare-Shylock) Have you ever wanted to seek revenge?. In Williams Shakespeare  'The Merchant of Venice' a key moment that shocked the reader was when Antonio agreed to forfeit the bond a pound of flesh to shylock if he didn't repay his bond. This moment was shocking, outrages and fascinating. this moment was important to this text as a whole because shylock and Antonio didn't like each other but still agreed on the bond, Antonio was willing to risk his life for Bassanio, and Shylock did not show mercy in claiming his bond.


Basic Body paragraph x3
P: Point- The moment when Antonio agreed to the bond was shocking because of shylock and Antonio didn't get along.
E: Evidence- Antonio was a Merchant And Shylock Made a living by lending people money with interest. While Shylock charged interest, Antonio lent money without interest and scorned Sylock was doing so. He also spat and called him a "cut-throat dog".
E: Explain( how the evidence proves the point)- Therefore, the reader is shocked to discover Antonio and Shylock can come to an agreement about money lending. It is also shocking because when Shylock calls Antonio out for the way he treats him, Antonio tells Shylock that he will spit on him and calls him a dog again. This treatment is not usual between people who make agreements
L: Link( Link back to my key argument)- With this treatment like this from Antonio towards Shylock, And to promise to be just as cruel in the future it is Shocking that they both agreed to the bond.
Paragraph 2
P: The reader knew that Antonio and Bassanio were best friends but the reader was shocked when Antonio said he will risk his life to die for friendship and so that Bassanio can get a wife.
E: When They settled the bond he went to shylock to get the money because he didn't have the money at the moment they make a deal about the bond, Antonio was risking his vessels so he can pay off the bond and if he will lose a pound of flesh and with die. He thought it would be a good idea to give him the money so he can find the love of him life.
E: The reader knew that Antonio was being serious and he is a great friend because whenever Bassanio said "no don't do it that is a bad idea" Antonio said something along the lines like "I don't care I want you to be happy with Portia"

my sphero got robbed!! (in the hood cops called)

The past couple of weeks we have been learning about coding and sphero, We have been trying to make our own game and see how well it worked out. Before we started to the code we needed to download an app called sphero.edu in the app store on our phones. here is a link of the base of my code. https://edu.sphero.com/cwists/preview/2143x, also here is my plan and my code and evaluation.
 

Sphero Ideas

(This game has to have 2 players)

  1. Guess the animal sound,
We thought of an idea where the sphero will play an animal sound, you would then have to finish the lyrics. If you said the lyrics correctly then the sphero would then move 1 step towards your direction. When you get the sphero to take 5 steps into your direction you win.
Song Ideas:
Old Town Road, Just Lose It, Riptide


(Two or more players)


2. Family Feud,
              We could use this idea as a questionnaire type game using questions about our world and how we use technology, basically the same idea as the first but with  questions


Our Game:
  Finish the song lyrics

First, we are going to have to put the blocks in the right place and then using the coding blocks put the function as a random loop to play them in random order. Then we would have to ensure that the sphero moves in the right direction. When and if the player gets it right, We also have to learn how to let the sphero know if the player got the answer wrong or right. We will also have to decide how many questions we will do, an idea is that they could range in difficulty.

Evaluation
When I was learning to code I thought it would be just a couple of clicks but now I know how to do it, it is a little bit harder then I thought. I think taking this class and opportunity was a great choice because now I have learned new things and maybe it will help me later on in life.
