England, makes up a large part of the UK but there’s isn’t much that unites the rich and poor, the wealth gap shows that within England’s society people stand in different places. the homeless who fight against poverty are looked down upon and are scrutinized for their situation whilst the wealthy are aspired upon and idolized. In my essay i will discuss the statement “poverty is not a problem in the uk”

the UK’s problem with poverty is highlighted through the food banks or the fact that people are struggling so much with money they cant afford a meal. figures from food bank charity, Trussel Trust show the devastating numbers that the UK sweep under the rug. In 2016 Between April and September 514,382 people were reserved a meal at a food bank, 188,000 of which were children . (43.52% went to the food bank due to benefits, showing that its the UK government increasing the poverty population).

The numbers you viewed above may already seem drastic, but then it comes to mind that Trussel Trust is one of many organisations that actually allow the poor to go in the right direction. Poverty is a situation that must be dealt with since its something that the majority avoid and its something we leave in the dark considering the fact we sweep it under the rug is most likely the reason why many do not see poverty as a problem here in the UK.

Poverty, there are many people in this society who are under looked for their riches, you may know people in the dark. They may say life isn’t fair not knowing the government put them there, as their trying to emerge from the dark, which is a struggle especially when benefits are being cut. Poverty “is” a problem in the uk and a problem we must address if we want it to decrease.

England, makes up a large part of the united kingdom but there isn’t much that unites the rich and the poor, the wealth gap also shows that England’s society people stand in different places and large variety of lifestyles that people live. homeless are looked down on and are scrutinized whilst the wealthy are aspired upon and idolized.

In a council house in south London Phil lies in despair to his two boys about where there next meal is coming from. there are a variety of people in England, wealthy and poor, you can never be in between or just one or the other. The poor are neglected by the media for their situation, like Phil,” I live in a one bedroom flat, eviction is soon coming which i praise. it means my children will have a better life in care,a roof over there heads, three decent meals and a bed to sleep on. better job than a failed parent liken me could do but my next move is unknown, i’m one of the 43.52% who are forced to use a food bank due to benefits as a whole showing its down to the government who are to blame on increasing poverty population.

“Get in, get out, don’t linger, go on” what Raymond means by this is that when writing a short story you shouldn’t release the whole story at the beginning, and when writing do not circle around the subject.

“Im not a bad guy. I know it sounds defensive, unscrupulous but it’s true” this makes the reader want to read on because you are questioning why people may think he’s a bad guy etc. “Nilda was my brothers girlfriend ” the information this gives is that the writer has a brother. “This is how all these stories begin” telling us that his many brother has had many girlfriends and that it often occurs. “Years later you would wonder If it had been for your brother would have done it” what’s been done? Was it good? Would I (the reader) have done it.  “What got me into this situation “.

Dear RAF or to whom it may concern,

My  name is Seydou Traore, i am a trustworthy Scientist in year 9 student attending the London nautical. This letter is me proposal a sale for the well being and knowledge of others. My hypothesis of this experiment is to test the rate of time in which a paper-made helicopter makes impact on the ground, and how the amount of paper clips added, adds to the weight hopefully affecting the time . The dependent variable in this scenario is the time that it takes and the independent is the amount of paper clips i put onto the helicopter, the two variables have a connection because if i change the amount of paper clips it affects the time that it takes. I feel that you would be interested in this matter because of its relativity to your organisation. You can relate it to the rate of which a real helicopter would fall to the ground or see the time that a shot down pilot would have to survive or even compare it to other aircraft’s. My accurate test could determine the speed of your real life aircraft’s and help many around the world with the questions on the matter, because of your largely well known organisation a lot of people will find it easily.to summarize its relativity can help the endangered which is why you think about funding my experiment. I thank you for your time and hope you look further into this proposal.

hypothesis:

Our hypothesis is that when adding paper clips on a paper helicopter it will increase the speed that it falls at. in order to test this we will create an experiment that will only change an independent variable (the amount of paper clips on the helicopter).

Equipment and what it will be used for:

paper clips, ruler, clamp, stand, stopwatch and paper. The ruler is to measure the height of which the paper helicopter drops at. Paper clips is to add onto the the weight of the helicopter. The clamp and stand is to support and hold the ruler in an accurate position. The stopwatch is to measure the time at which the helicopter falls. The paper is to make the helicopter and to record the results.

establishing causality:

All the variables that must be controlled are: the shape of the helicopter, the height of the drop (altitude) and the way in which it is dropped. the reason for controlling these variables is that without keeping each of them the same the experiment would no longer be accurate. if the height was changed the distance of the plane would increase, affecting the time. if the shape of the helicopter was changed it may change speed of which it falls, and finally the way it is dropped , if it is thrown the first time then lightly let go the second it is precise therefore inaccurate. in order to keep these variables the same i will introduce equipment to stop any changes.

summary:

My summary on this experiment is that the more paper clips added the faster the fall.

risk assessment:

the potential risks that may be involved in the experiments are: getting paper cuts, and the paper being teared meaning that i will need to make the exact replica (weight,shape..) to not affect changes in results.

Repetition can be used for effect. “The blacker the berry the sweeter the juice” x4. The darker you are the better person you are. Perhaps kendrick Lamar is saying black people rand out. Instead of hiding your blackness embrace it. Repetition helps to emphasise the key point, being black is positive.

Yc the cynic criticises the reel through repetition. He shows this by saying in his hook ‘I’ll ride for my negus, die for my negus’. The repetition of negus is important. This is because the word comes from the Ethiopian language meaning royalty. Here, yc the cynic suggest that black people were royalty before they were ever slaves. In comparison the n word is a derogatory word used to insult people of black origin.

bronx native yc the cynic is another artist who criticises the reel through his music.

7. like I got, 16 to 32 bars to rock it but only 15% of profits ever see my pockets.

the quote that answers the question ‘how do the emcees we have studied criticise the reel’ is the one that says it’s dangerous too dream because for people in the box dreams are fake promises that they’ll never reach.
