  A) I think we watched this episode because it’s relevant to the topic racism, which is the topic we are working at the moment. In this episode there is a woman who has recently got a new neighbor. Her new neighbor is from the Middle East and is performing activities which bring suspicions that he might be a terrorist. The TV-show mixes humor and seriousness by revealing that the woman’s neighbor is actually submitting a tryout video for “The Amazing Race”. The woman gets taught a lesson when she finds out that her new neighbor isn’t a terrorist, after reporting him to the U.S Government.   


  B) Humor is a good way to approach sensitive topic because if we took everything seriously, the world we live in would be quite boring. The important thing is to know your limits. Some things are not meant to be joked with. People may laugh, but inside, they’re not having a good time. Jokes can offend people, but also create smiles; it depends on how it’s done.

Oppgåve A

Augeblikk 2: Sola skinnar bak dei rosa skyene i horisonten. Var minner meg om sommaren som bankar på døra, den varme, gode sommaren. Det er ikkje lenge til, men det følas som evigheter. Skulen er enno ikkje slutt, og eg har tonnevis av prøver igjen. Byen er slikt ein fredfullt stad når kvelden byrjar å inntreffe. Solnedgangen er like om hjørnet og temperaturen ligg på eit komfortabelt nivå. Apropos menneske. Eg skimtar noko lengre nede i gata, ein gjeng gutar som lagar uvanleg mykje støy. Kva er det dei pønskar ut? Vil dei noko? Bør eg trekkje unna? Eg veit ikkje, eg vel å gå nærare. Sidan eg kjem nærare ser eg gutegjengen rundt ein mørk skikkelse. Han ser ut til og vere ein ordentleg person sidan han går i uniform. Gutane kretsar vilt rundt han og ropar og hoiar. Mannen i uniform ser rimeleg oppskaka ut, og prøver febrilsk og kome seg vekk. Gutegjengen blir særs aggressiv, moglegvis ein verknad av den sterke spritlukta dei alle har. Plutseleg snur dei seg og ser mot meg, mannen i uniform har tydelegvis møtt blikket mitt. Dei byrjar å skrike truslar, og eg vel å skygge banen. Mannen i uniform verkar særs atletisk, og har sikkert kamperfaring eller noko liknande, han klarar seg nok.

Oppgåve B

• Mikal hiv frå seg sekken på golvet, og sleng seg på senga. Éin time til bandøving. Han ligg og tenkjer på framtida. Han ser for seg store folkemengder, jenteskrik, og ry. Mikal grublar medan han lagar seg mat på kjøkkenet; Er dette det han verkeleg vil? Mikal har byrja å høyre meir og meir på klassisk musikk i det siste. Fiolin er eit instrument som har interessert han spesielt mykje. Mikal er i grunn lei av rockelåtene og alt det tomme snakket om store konsertar. Mikal vil ikkje på bandøving. Han vil kjøpe fiolin, han vil spele for seg sjølv, han vil utvide horisonten sin.
• Vinden susar innover frå det store havet. Håret blir drege tilbake, og eg kjenner det byrjar å bli ein anelse kjølig. Kor er dei andre? Dei skulle jo ha kome for å hente meg for over ein time sidan. Timane går, ja, det byrjar å gå mot ettermiddag og kveld. Vindstyrken aukar, fingrane byrjar å bli kvite. Eg skulle kanskje ha teke med den vindjakka mora mi nemnde. Tida går. Kor er dei? Har dei gløymt meg? Vindstyrken har auka endå eit hakk, snart kjem eg til å blåse over ende.

Oppgåve D

Det hende seg ein kald vinterdag for ikkje lengje sidan at døden inntraff for eit lite spedbarn.

Det var ein dystar stemning på fødeavdelingen. Mannen og kona kikka tomt ut i lufta medan dei vart fortalt at den vesle skatten deira hadde teke vegen opp til himmelen. Det fanst ikkje andletsuttrykk, berre triste tankar.

Why I love sports

There are so many different reasons to why I love sports, mainly because it’s so great and everybody can participate.

Sports are great because it includes people. Everyone can participate in sports, and you are most likely to find a sport that fits you. There’s something for everyone. You can for example be a skier, a dancer, a sailor, a soccer player etc.

When I say that sports include people, I also mean that it unites people. You meet new people, potential friends, when you participate in sports. It’s very to get to know the people that participate in the same sport as you because you share the same interest, the sport you’re both participating.

Sports are also great because you can make a career out of it. If you’re really good at a specific sport, you can make a huge career out of it. For example, you can be a huge talent in the local football club. One day, a scout comes to your practice. He watches you play, and he gets interested. He then contacts the club he’s scouting for and tells them about you. One day, he comes to your practice, after watching you some more, and gives you an offer. He wants you to play for a better club, and that’s how many great careers’ has started. Take Cristiano Ronaldo as an example. He grew up in Portugal in a very poor family, and he only ate sardines for a long time. But he had talent for the game, and one day a scout came to him and gave him an offer.

As said, there are so many reasons why sports are amazing, but if I would have mentioned everyone, it would probably take days.

The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time

What I like/dislike about the book?

I like the book because it goes deep into Christopher’s mind. He not only saying what he’s doing, he’s also describing what he feels when a certain situation shows up. It makes the book quite interesting, and you get an insight of what’s going on in his head and how he reacts. Sometimes he reacts with screaming or vomiting, sometimes he reacts by doing violent actions, and sometimes he does not react at all. This is what I think makes the book interesting because you understand how a person with Asperger’s syndrome express his/her feelings and how they feel deep down inside. Even though the author hasn’t got Asperger’s, it feels like you’re reading an inside diary of a person with the syndrome. That is what I like about the book.

I dislike the book because sometimes, Christopher writes facts about themes, subjects, books or a movie that interests him. That can make it difficult to keep track of the main story sometimes. He starts talking about quadratic equations and after reading about that for nearly five minutes, you have lost track of the story, and you have to start over by reading the recent 5 pages. By that, you get tired by reading the book because you have to read the pages all over again.

I have split feelings about the book. The main story is very describing and enjoyable, but the fact part makes the story quite difficult to follow. 

Bildeanalyse av Anders, Peder og Kristoffer

"Ensom"

Bildet viser en sammenkrøket figur ved en murvegg. Personen er rettet fra bilde, og står i en mørk svart jakke. Figuren som kan oppfattes som motivet er plassert i mellomgrunnen. Bildet er et utsnitt, og er tatt fra normalperspektiv. I tillegg at det er en plakat i forgrunnen er også et av lysene på veggen over skikkelsen her. Skikkelsen er i mellomgrunnen, sammen med to andre lys. Vi får ikke se mye av bakgrunnen, men øverst til høyre i bilde er det noe som kan minne om en trapp. Dette sier kanskje noe om at det er en trapp på vei videre ned og.

Bildet kommuniserer rask og gir en umiddelbar virkning av en mørk, trist og dyster stemning, samt en liten følelse av ensomhet og utestengelse. Vi føler at bildet både har ekspressive og poetiske funksjoner. Fordi at bilde viser følelser, som beskrevet tidligere, men bildet viser også en stemning. Du kan se at personen står med hetta på i et hjørne og ser ned i bakken, dette viser et symbol på ensomhet, og kanskje mobbing. Det er brukt svart-hvitt farge perspektiv for å gi en mer trist følelse i bildet. 

English - "Looting in London" tasks

1. Looting is the indiscriminate taking of goods by force as part of a military or political victory, or during a catastrophe, such as during a war. Rioting is a wild or turbulent disturbance created by a large number of people.


2. Definition of these words:

• Social exclusion -  Social disadvantage
• Disregard - To pay no attention to, or ignore
• Social norms - Acceptable behaviors within for example a society
• High unemployment - A large part of the society has no jobs, or hasn't been working for the last four weeks 
• Criminologist - Someone that studies what causes criminal behaviors
• Opportunism - Taking advantage in situations for your own good, not regarding for principles. 
• Consumerism - A social and economic order that is based on the systematic creation and fostering of a desire to purchase goods and services in ever great amounts

3.  These things can happen all over the world because there's unemploment everywhere. I think it could have occured here aswell, but to a certain degree. The english youngsters are more known for their bad behavior than the norwegians. Anyways, there's always people everywhere you go that will take advantage of those type of situations, so I think that it could have happened here too. 


4. 

• I think it signifies how bad the social and economic conditions in England are. They need to change it so people will have fewer reasons to implement these actions. 
• This is definitely a cause of the class system because it gives the people that are born into higher class a greater advantage. It also gives the lower class people a hard time to get decent jobs, or even a job.

Goodbye Canada!

This is going to be my last post here from Canada. In about an hour or so, I will be flying down the mountain hills  in the helicopter. I really don't want to go home because I haven't seen everything yet although I have experienced a lot while I've been here. This post will be a short summary of my trip.

As I said, I have experienced a lot while staying at Mica Heli. What I enjoyed the most was sliding down the mountains in the soft powder snow. And in addition to that, the great weather. Every single day I was here, the sun was shining outside. I'm grateful that I got this opportunity to be here FOR FREE. I can't imagine how expensive it must have been for Field Productions to pay this trip.



The recording went really well. The producers told us they got some great footage. I'm looking forward to see the movie when it's finished (mainly because I thought I made a great effort). Also, I got to meet a lot of interesting people (and crazy ones) and maybe I will make a movie with them again someday (?).



When you travel to a place, it's important to know some background information about it. Therefore, I'll type down facts about British Columbia (because I've already told you about Mica Heli).

• British Columbia is located in the western area in Canada
• It's (of course) known for its natural beauty
• The name "British Columbia" was chosen by Queen Victoria in 1858
• In 1871, it became the sixth province of Canada
• The province is currently governed by the BC Liberal Party, led by Premier Christy Clark, who became leader as a result of the party election on February 26, 2011

Thanks to Field Productions for letting me get this unbelievable experience. I will remember this for the rest of my life. 

THANK YOU!

Mica Heli!

Hi!

Sorry for not keeping you guys updated. I've been so busy the last few days, skiing. It's just the most beatiful place to ski in the entire world, it's just so... amazing.....

Anyways, I've been in Canada for about a week now. When I got to the airport, a couple of guys from Field Productions picked me up in a van. They told me we were going to Mica Heli, which is a skiing paradise in British Columbia, Canada.

So after hours and hours of driving we finally arrived. I remebered I woke up, and the car was standing in the middle of the road. Why? You may ask. Well, the thing is, the only way you could get up to Mica Heli was by flying a helicopter. That gave me a small taste of how exclusive this trip was.

Mica Heli crew

When we arrived at the lodge, it was dinner time. All the other skiers sat around the table when I entered the dining room. A bit awkward, but what can you do.

And btw, the food was made by professional gourmet chefs. Clearly one of my better food experiences. 

The last days we (the skiers, which is a group containing 8 people) have been hitting jumps all over the place, and I have to tell you, I really feel honored to participate in this movie because a lot of this skiers are world class. 

Amazing, right?

By now you're probably wondering, what is Mica Heli?

Well, Mica Heli is (as a mentioned before in the text) a place in British Columbia, Canada. 

• It has unquestionably the best ski terrain on the planet.
•  Mica Heli is run buy the Mica Heli crew, which are professional educated people
• Every day, professional chefs will provide you a gourmet dinner
• An intimate backcountry lodge setting with gourmet dining, outdoor hot tubs, massage facilities and high speed wireless internet throughout
• Incredible heli-skiing runs are less than a two minute flight from the lodge

In two days, I will be going home, but I will write my last post before I pack my bags and head home

See ya!

Canada!

Guess where I'm blogging from now?
.............
The plane of course!
That's what I love about Norwegian. Surfing on the beautiful white clouds surrounded by proffesional skiers. Can you make it any better?

Well, in five minutes the plain will arrive, so I have to go now. I am going to Canada (if you read the title you would have known that by now). The plain will land at Ottawa airport, and where the producers will take me later, well I don't know but I'm looking forward too it. I will keep you guys updated.

See ya!

Just to make things clear

In my travel blog, everything I say about myself won't be true, for instance, I am not a proffesional skier. That's just something I would have enjoyed being, so I have decided to see myself as a proffesional skier, but JUST in the travel blog.

Where am I going?

Hey guys!

Right now I am packing my bags, and getting ready for my trip which I won't reveal yet. I have been asked to participate in Field Productions new video called "Being there". It's a ski movie which will be released worldwide, and it's essential for my future as a professional skier. I'm really looking forward to it, and I'm confident that it will be a great experience.




By the way, Field Productions is a Norwegian company that shoots ski movies. It was founded in 2002 by Filip Christensen. Everything started with Filip and his friend skiing in Filip's backyard. By the time they got older, Filip and his friends started to record themselves pulling off tricks on a small jump at the local slopes. Filip thought the recording went well, and released his first movie (which I can't come up with right now). At that time, ski movies weren't that revolutional, but Filip kept on recording, and 9 years later, he is running a very successful company that releases nearly one movie every year. They have had a lot of famous skiers in their movies, such as Axel Lund Svindal.

Genseren

En genser er et klesplagg som brukes av alle typer mennesker. Det finnes flere varianter av gensere, f.eks. hettegenser, cardigan, v-genser osv. Noen bruker gensere for å holde seg varm, for å se "kul" ut, eller rett og slett fordi det er deilig å slappe av med en god og myk hettegenser på.

Den deilige nye hettegenseren min, du gjør tilværelsen god. Deilig myk komfort, dette er virkelig en suksess. Du gjør en kald regnværsdag varm og god. Når jeg tar deg på kjenner jeg glede. Du lyser opp min hverdag, og lyset varer dagen ut.  

Blood Diamond - Analysis

Nearly two weeks ago, I watched the movie "Blood Diamond". I found the story quite interesting, even though I have seen it before. I prefer deeper stories than this type, but still I enjoyed the movie. It's an action packed and emotional story witch I like howerer, however, a movie that lasts for nearly three hours can sometimes be a real pain in the ass. But anyways, it's a good movie with a descent story, with an especially good background story.

..... But still not the kind of movie I enjoy watching. My favorite movie is "Fight Club". 

     

Me, myself and I

Hi!
I thought I could make a short introduction about myself.
My name is Kristoffer, I am a 16 year old boy from who live in Norway. I go to the school "Adolf Øien", and there I study at the entrepreneur line. I like to play soccer and I have been doing that for nearly ten years, but I'm not that great at it. The rest of my time I use to hang out with friends and of course homework.

Argumentasjonstips

Mine tips for argumentasjon er:
- Å være klar i stemmen
- Få frem dine synspunkter/meninger på en saklig måte
- Vær korrekt i argumentene. Kom med argumenter som er sanne, ikke påstander
- Når du argumenter, spesielt foran mennesker, må du passe på å ikke komme med argumenter som kan være støtende

Mislykket forsøk på kommunikasjon - Få meg på for faen

Et mislykket forsøk på kommunikasjon i filmen "Få meg på for faen" er når Artur prøver å få Alma til å ha samleie med han ved å røre hoften hennes med penisen hans. Alma reagerer ikke på den måten han ønsker og dette er da et godt eksempel på mislykket kommunikasjon.
