Question 12.

cattledog

Everyday I wake up with eyes that don’t work and remember the dry, flat paddocks, One of my eyes hasn’t even opened in years and the other just lets in the light and the world looks grey. The scratching of the chickens in the yard to my right are usually the reason I roll over to absorb the rising yellow sun then I try and get up when the creak of the front fly-wire door sounds but I rarely get to it in time. My master’s porch is old and tired but at least I have an old rug which is far more comfy than the rickety warped floor boards.

There were four of us once and each had a role of their own. My three brothers and I would come bounding out of the kennels to greet our master, we would sit up straight to attention in a row as we had been trained to do, eagerly awaiting a morning pat of the head as reward for the coming work. I trained my brothers out in the burning paddocks running up and down after the mindless sheep and corralling them through the gates and turn-styles of the shearing sheds. My legs aren’t up to it anymore; years of service have run them through and I’m the last of my brothers left on this porch.

My master was once good to us, we would ride on the back of the Ute into town and I remember tasting the scents of freshly baked bread or sizzling bacon of an early morning. Now I can barely get up off this rug these days. The only time my master comes to give me attention now is when he stands on the porch turning the succulent sausages on the barbecue after a hard day and he drops a few food scraps into my bowl, I love the burnt sausage ends. I live for those few minutes every day when I know he is next to me, when he remembers I’m on his porch because in every way I’m useless to him now.

That you need to check your noticeboard this answer is incorrect because the information in the noticeboard is what the question is looking for and not the purpose of the noticeboard itself.

It is a collection of facts about Myopia this answer is correct as Myopia is included as a key word in the majority of the notes on the board.

Teachers this answer is incorrect even though it seems likely because teachers are not directly responsible for the health of the children in their school.

School children this answer is incorrect because most of the information is too complex and technical for children to read and none of the notes are interesting or engaging to look at.

There was an Old Man with a beard, Who said, "It is just as I feared! Two Owls and a Hen, Four Larks and a Wren, Have all built their nests in my beard!"

Sentence 1. Frodsham’s research shows that most minority groups experience up to 20 indirect interactions which they “feel threatened or uncomfortable in” in on a weekly basis.

Sentence 2. This has become a progressive problem in our society as people help support racism by not wanting to get involved when others are treated differently.

Sentence 3. We thought racism was dying out and our society was becoming more accepting of cultural differences but the recent comments and now election of Donald Trump suggests things have not progressed as far as we may have thought and recent research also adds to this debate.

Sentence 4. This proves that racism is everywhere although it has changed from everyone saying obviously damaging things to people avoiding getting involved or laughing when one person is openly racist and other often join in on their comments even though they fear making them personally.

Sentence 5. Professor John Frodsham from the University of Montreal explains the “bystander effect” contributes to the acceptability of racism in the community and has become the biggest issue for victims who feel powerless.

The above is an extract from the short story All Summer in A Day by Ray Bradbury.
