Example/Non Example
Is a void messy? Why or why not?
A void is not messy because it is an empty space  completely blank meaning that it is is impossible to mess up only if you deliberately made it messy making it not a void
Which color is the most fluorescent at night? Why?
Neon because it sticks out in the dark of the night and helps at night on signs so people can see
Why are elderly people more vulnerable than children? Why?
Because of old age they are less stable and balance is shaky and on the other hand kids are full of energy and life because they have much to look forwards and can move more freely
Which is more interconnected; a vine or a dandelion? Why?
A vine because it is connected to the ground pull a dandelion easily pull out
Which is more seldom; the Olympics or an election in NZ? Why?
The olympic because it happens every four year well a election is every three years

Word Relationships

How might each pair of words be connected?
Vulnerable/Fluorescent
They are similar because  the use of Fluorescent is sometimes to prevent injures so people will see the the stop signs (in brightly colored sign) and stop.
Void/interconnected
They are similar because in a blank space there is always a connection to the void connecting to something else.

Extended Writing
Think of a time when you felt as though you were in a void or when you saw something that happens seldom. Write a paragraph about this.
One time at night I looked through a telescope and there was no stars and all I could see was the dark of the night (void) and it just black not the thee moon or a star to be seen.
