Those day's there were no Dustbins. Instead people used to throw their rubbish on the streets and make a big pile.

Blue Skies
Blue Skies Irving Berlin I was blue, just as blue as I could be Every day was a cloudy day for me The good luck came a-knocking at my door Skies were grey but they're not gray anymore Blue skies Smiling at me Nothing but blue skies Do I see Bluebirds Singing a song Nothing but bluebirds All day long Never saw the sun shining so bright Never saw things going so right Noticing the days hurrying by When you're in love, my how they fly Blue days All of them gone Nothing but blue skies From now on I should care if the win blows east or west I should fret if the worst looks like the best I should mind if they say it can't be true I should smile, that's exactly what I
Twisting - Poetry
Twisting, curling around your fingers. Pressed palm to palm, She screams in the dark. A kick into nowhere. A punch through the air. You hold her close once more, just once more. Chest to chest, you both shiver at night. Woman, blinded by cloth and tied at the wrist. A blackened hand reaches for her. Twists and curls her hair around its fingers. Just as you did, One cold winters night. Lips pressed against hers, you cherished that moment. But now you sit on a cold pew in an empty church. Your eyes fixed on the open casket. And a cold presence lurks, Over your shoulder As you remember. Her soft skin, lips and hair. Now you lean over her coffin. Twisting, curling her hair around your fingers. You place one more kiss upon her

Zimbabwe and the UK There are many political differences between Zimbabwe and the UK. Firstly, Zimbabwe is run as a dictatorship but the UK is a democracy. Evidence in the newspaper article is "the government declared the strike and protest marches illegal". In a democracy, declaring strike and protest marches illegal would have to go through the government and it wouldn't have just been able to declare them illegal straight away. Also, in that quote it shows Zimbabwe is not concerned about human rights. They are completely ignoring their people's right of free speech. To add to this, the Zimbabwean police have been known to use violence on protesters, often even on non-violent protesters. In the UK, the police are forbidden from violence on civilians unless the civilian is physically threatening the health of the policeman in some way such as throwing objects at them. This shows the differences between a democracy and dictatorship. Unlike the UK, the Zimbabwean government doesn't help their countries problems with poverty and looking after the homeless even though the problem is much more severe than in the UK. The government is doing the opposite. UN officials said in Harare they have deprived at least 700,000 people of their homes and livelihoods and affected other 2.4million Harare residents. As above, there are clear political differences between Zimbabwe and the UK.

A Guide to Standard Grade History: Essay Writing
A Step-by-Step Guide to Writing Essays in Standard Grade History* A Brief Guide The Essays: Information The essays at Standard Grade are worth eight marks. You may hear them being referred to as "8 Markers" or "8 Mark essays". They contribute to your Knowledge and Understanding mark, and they will be in one of the three different contexts in the paper. You will be given a choice of two different questions. What will the question be? It is almost impossible to tell. I managed to predict the correct context AND question, but only out of sheer luck. They are designed to push you, and make sure that you know the course inside out. If you ever progress to Higher, you will find this is mostly the case as well. How are the marks awarded? Well, like so: * One mark for a reasonable introduction (1) * A mark for each coherent point. (Ie, not just any old drivel) (6) * One mark for a balanced conclusion. (1) In order to achieve the full eight marks, you must meet the criteria above. What do I do if I can't answer the question? Write down as much as you can that springs to mind. If you can make a decent introduction, you've already got a mark. Quite frankly, it would be rare if you didn't know ANYTHING about the questions. Remember, this isn't a test of your english skills, it's a test of how much of the standard grade history course you know and can apply. Structure
