Answer to Social Studies Inference Exercise on Sri Lanka

Inference 1: The source is a one-sided view about the conflict in Sri Lanka. It tells me that the conflict in Sri Lanka is very violent and going on for a long time. Explanation: From the source, "bombed and launched artillery attacks" shows the violence occuring in Sri Lanka, as all these bombing and artillery attacks kills many people easily. Thus, leading to a violent conflict in Sri Lanka.

Inference 2: The source also shows me that the conflict in Sri Lanka was targeted at the Tamils. Explanation: From the source, "painted areas that you see - that is Tamil Eelam" shows that where the bombs and artilley attacks only took place in the Tamil areas but not in any Sinhalese areas. Thus, showing the conflict was targeted at the Tamils

Armageddon:Breathtaking and Touching****

I watched this film last year, even though this film was produced many years ago, but it is still worth watching it. The stunning visual effects, good surround sound and profusion of action made this film gripping to watch.

Armageddon is a 1998 American disaster film directed by Michael Bay, produced by Jerry Bruckheimer. The movie tells of a group of blue-collar deep-core drillers sent by NASA to stop an asteroid on a collision course with Earth. It featured an all-star cast including Bruce Willis, Ben Affleck, Billy Bob Thornton, Liv Tyler, Will Patton, Peter Stormare, Michael Clarke Duncan and Steve Buscemi. The plot of this film is about the Space Shuttle Atlantis is destroyed by a meteor shower, killing the entire crew. Meteorites then bombard New York City and other parts of the world, and NASA discovers that a large asteroid will collide with Earth in 18 days, effectively destroying the planet. The scientists at NASA—in cooperation with the Russian, Japanese, and other European space agencies—plan to detonate a nuclear bomb in the asteroid's core, splitting it in two and causing it to miss the Earth. The bomb must be placed 800 feet below the surface within eight hours of landing and no later than four hours before it will impact Earth.

This film has a lot of twists and turns, which are really unpredictable, You will only come to your realisation after the film ended. Some of the dialogues in this film are very amusing, which some are very touching. Armageddon has the same mould as the Deep Impact. Overall, this is an infallible movie.

Four Brothers - Action, Emotion, Passion ****

Four Brothers is a 2005 action crime film directed by John Singleton. 
Mark Wahlberg, Tyrese Gibson, Andre Benjamin and Garrett Hedlund co-star in this gripping tale of brotherly love, betrayal and revenge. 

The seemingly random murder of their adoptive mother, Evelyn Mercer, in a convenience store brings the four brothers from Detroit, Michigan back home to find out what happened. Originally under the impression the crime was a simple "robbery-gone-wrong", the brothers soon discover that the robbery was merely a cover for what was, in fact, a "hit" put out on Evelyn. After this revelation, Bobby (Mark Wahlberg), Angel (Tyrese Gibson), Jeremiah (André Benjamin) and Jack Mercer (Garrett Hedlund) track down the hired guns who killed Evelyn. Refusing to say anything, they are unceremoniously executed by Bobby and Angel.
Taking the matters into their own hands and defying the police orders, the brothers went on to search for the mastermind. along the way, they discover they are bound by ties thicker than blood.I advise you guys to watch this show, as it's a really emotional and action packed movie.

Up : Fascinating Feast! *****

Somewhere during last year, I went to catch this particular movie called ‘Up’ with my family and since then, the memory of this movie really sunk deep into my mind up as it was a really engaging and gripping show.

The plot of this movie begins when the main character Carl Fredrickson, a little boy who idolizes the adventurer Charles Munts meets Ellie, who also admire Charles, became close friends. However Charles gets accused of forging the skeleton of a monster in Paradise Falls, he travels to Paradise Falls to bring the monster back alive but is never seen again. Eventually Carl grows up and marries Ellie, they promised each other that they would travel to Paradise Falls and build a house there. Years later, Ellie dies and Carl refuses to move to a retirement home. Then, he uses many balloons to float his house to travel to Paradise Falls. Another character, Russell, a Wilderness Explorer who’s trying to earn his badge for "Assisting the Elderly", has joined him on his journey after being sent on a snipe hunt by Carl the day before. And so, the engrossing scenes and infallible storylines continues as they travel to Paradise Falls. This story is in the mould of some previous movies published from Disney Pixar when we come to the realisation of the movie setting and plot.

Overall, this movie has brought profusion of audience and laughter to our faces as it brings us a sort of warm feeling as if we’re watching it in our own home. I would really recommend my friends to watch this movie as it’s a comedy show that no one should miss.

UP: Funny and Adventurous****

The movie was almost infallible that I watched it a several times. This movie was moulded in to a 3D form so it looks good. The movie is about Russell who is in scout wants to earn his badge by accompanying an elderly. Carl the elderly wants to makes his late wife’s dream to come true. By putting his house on a cliff in South America. Russell wanted to accompany Carl, but Carl did not want Russell’s accompany. Carl tied a profusion amount balloons around his house to fly to South America.

Carl realized that Russell was in his house. They went to South America and their adventure began. The scene when the Charles Muntz chasing Russell, Carl and the peacock on top of the ship was the most gripping scene.

HILARIOUS INFALLIBLE heart warming <333333

the.......... Despicable Me


Despicable Me is hilarious, infallible and heart warming. The film makers mould a perfect balance between using the 3D as a gimmick and using it for depth of field. You can feel the French sensibility ringing throughout "Despicable Me." There is a cool aloofness to the proceedings that gives the film an edge and helps to make its dark humor something unique and unexpected. This film is gripping as the movie has lots of unrealistic adventures that humans once thought of, not only it teaches us that some dreams are unfulfillable. It’s also contain profusion knowledge and principle and helo us in realization of our dreams
