Transcript: Free Read PowerPoint Project Judith Rumelt, better known by her pen name Cassandra Clare, is an American author of young adult fiction. Main Characters Summary Prominent literary item Will Herondale-Will has dark hair and ocean blue eyes. Will is rude and cruel because he believes everyone that loves him will die. He believes this because a demon put a 'curse' on him. Tessa Gray- Tessa has blonde hair and grey eyes. She is very witty and enjoys literature. Recommendation of book Setting Jem Carstairs-Jem has silver hair and eyes, due to the drug he was tortured with before his family was killed. He plays the violin and is very kind, caring, and lovable. The most unique thing in Clockwork Angel is that there are supernatural occurrences such as demons, shape shifters, witches, vampires, and werewolves, etc. I definitely recommend Clockwork Angel by Cassandra Clare. I recommend this book because it uses great figurative language, such as "The machine walked like a man." Also, "There was a boy standing in front of her. He couldn´t have been much older than she was-seventeen or possibly eighteen. He was dressed in what looked like workman´s clothes-a frayed black jacket, trousers, and tough-looking boots. He wore no waistcoat, and thick leather straps crisscrossed his waist and chest. Attached to the straps were weapons-daggers and folding knives and things that looked like blades of ice. In His left hand-slim and long fingered-was bleeding where she had gashed the back of it with her pitcher. But that wasn´t what made her stare. He had the most beautiful face she had ever seen. Tangled black hair and eyes like blue glass. Elegant cheekbones,and long, thick lashes. He looked like every fictional hero she´d ever conjured up in her head. Tessa Gray goes to London to live with her brother. When she arrives Tessa is captured by twin sisters dubbed 'the Dark Sisters'. She was tortured and forced to use her gift of shape shifting for evil until Will Herondale rescues her. He then takes her to the institute, a place for shadowhunters to be cared for. Tessa meets the residents of the institute, Charlotte Branwell, the head of the institute, Henry Branwell, Charlotte's husband and inventor of a many great inventions, Jessamine Lovelace, girly and against all things shadowhunter, Jem Carstairs, a kind but very ill shadowhunter. Presentation Themes Clockwork Angel by Cassandra Clare Most unique thing in the book Presentation by Canaan Hall Clockwork Angel takes place in the institute, and the Dark Sister's home. The institute is an old church with very many rooms for passing visitors. The Dark Sister's house is large but sparsly furnished, in Tessa's room there is a bed with restraints, a mirror, and a nightstand with a few books. The themes for Clockwork angel are; you always need friends that you can trust, don't judge someone by their looks you don't know what they are going through, and even someone you wouldn't expect could be the hero. Cassandra Clare One prominent literary item in the book is personification. Personification is used throughout Clockwork Angel, such as "The machine walked like a man." Another example is, "The door creaked with a noise that sounded like a scream."

Great with students, workers, family, etc. For example: With games like Jeopardy and Family Feud, players can pick practically any answers. The person who is running the game will have to have all of the answers in order to determine if players are correct or not. However, with a game like Who Wants to be a Millionaire, the players only have a choice between answers, A, B, C, or D. Therefore, when the player decides their answer, the person running the game clicks it, and the game will tell them whether they are right or wrong.

Transcript: Landforms- Africa is the biggest of all the continents second to Asia. From the Mediterranean Sea (North) to the Cape of Good Hope (South), Africa is approximately 5,000 miles. Mountains run along the north coast of Africa. The Sahara, the biggest desert on Earth, is south of those mountains. It extends from the Indian Ocean all the way to the Atlantic. South of the Sahara then is separated into a variety of major areas. The hump of Africa is in the west. The Sahara turns into grasslands more inland and then into tropical jungles along the coast. Way over in the east the terrain is very different. It has snow-capped mountains, lakes, and upland plateaus. Plateaus are relatively high, flat land areas. Down south there are tropical rainforests, rivers, more hills and grasslands where wild animals live. Climate- There are four specific climate zones in Africa. 40% of Africa is covered by a climate zone produced from deserts. Warm temperatures, fertile land, and moderate rainfall make it possible for a copious amount of crops to be produced. This helps a fairly large population. The rain forest makes up the third climate zone and is about 10% of the continent. Heavy rains and warm temperatures make dense forests where few to no farming and traveling are possible. Broad Grasslands dotted with small trees and shrubs are called savannas. They make up forty-percent of Africa's land area. They get enough rainfall for farming but its rain is undependable. Civilizations- Around 7,000 or 8,000 years ago, hunters and gatherers began to tame animals and grow crops. Egypt, Kush, and Axum were Africa's first civilizations. They came to be from the Agricultural Revolution, or the mastery of farming. Kush was just an area south of Egypt known as Nubia who was under Egyptian control. A trade system had begun between them by 20000 B.C. It became an independent state around 1000 B.C. Kush then conquered Egypt in 750 B.C. Then in 663 B.C. they were overpowered by the Assyrians due to the lack of older materials and weapons, and returned to their home lands in the upper Nile valley. The economy was first based on farming. Then it soon became an important trading state in that region. It was a major trading empire for the next few hundred years. Kush thrived for about 1000 years from 250 B.C. to 150 B.C. It declined though because the rise of Axum. Axum was founded by Arabs and brought together Arab and African cultures. The Axumite ruler invaded and conquered Kush. The king made the Axum religion Christianity. Afer a few centuries, Islam brought intense challenges to the kingdom. Slavery- People who usually were debtors, captured in the war, and even some criminals were slaves. Some slaves had more of a hard time than others. A lot of them would usually work very long, straight hours on farmlands of their owners who were usually wealthy or a royal family. The other slaves probably were better off being a soldier. Different stories were told orally. Like a song or chant. One of the ritual hunting chants I read was one where the tribe leader would chant or sing the main parts, and then the tribe members would join in on the part they were supposed to join in on. Some of the stories told would be for pure entertainment and others would be life lessons. Sometimes the story would be both. Some stories would be an epic, or a long story of the protagonist and his or her ups and downs in life. Some were called proverbs, which were short brief sayings that conveys a common human truth or experience. An Epic of Old Mali- This is a story of a young man who at first had nothing but was destined to be great. He couldn’t walk until a specific day he was given an iron rod which helped him walk. After a few years he became a warrior and a conqueror. Because he had a weakness it became his greatest strength. He was able to know how it was to go from nothing to something that he could relate to others. The epic was relative to real world events that actually happened. Most Africans traditional religious beliefs and customs were commonly shared, specifically giving honor to their ancestors. Africa’s valuable natural cultural heritage was passed from one generation to the next through distinctive musical forms and storytelling. This is influencing world culture today. African music and culture has greatly affected American and International music. There are many similarities in the beats and tones we use in our music. Also, I thought it was interesting and very different from what I listen to. I noticed a lot of pieces don't have many words in them and if they did it was the same phrase over again. It's similar to the beats in the music that I listen to but it's different because I don't hear many tones in my music as I do in some of the pieces that I got to listen to. A visual I thought up was an African tribe in their villages, dancing around a campfire and celebrating something. I really enjoy the music. Early in Africa's culture, Art was a way
