Books and movies are both great storytellers. They show us a whole new different world from what we have and it gets us engrossed in their stories. People would argue that movies are unquestionably better than books because it is more visually satisfying to watch but the two subjects have their own good points. For example, movies leave stuff out of the book and book gives us a better understanding of the story.

Movies are more visually satisfying to watch while books get us to use our imagination.

Movies such as the Harry Potter series, has scenes left out or characters removed and even characters personality changed. Sometimes movies are not able to explain the story as good as books. As I said before the Harry Potter book series has some of the characters left out of movies and some characters personality changed. 

 Ginny, Ron Weasley's younger sister, has her character changed a lot. In the movie, you kinda see her as a shy little girl but later on, she gets a little bit of confidence. They could have done a whole lot more with Ginny's character because compared to the book she is actually very capable and is able to handle herself.

Books are less convenient than movies. While watching a film you can basically do whatever you want. Movies are just more comfortable than reading a book and I get why people love watching a movie rather than reading a book. 

 You can eat or drink while watching movies but you can also do that while reading a book but it is slightly harder to do than sitting down and only have a bucket of popcorn in your hand.

Which side I am in: For - Against -  Both

- It tests your ability to work as a group

-Make friends and support each other

-Train with other people

We can all agree that sports are much better if you're playing it with other people. The games that you play as a team like basketball is more fun. Also playing as a team makes the game more competitive and it tests your ability to work as a group.

Team sports like basketball, soccer, volleyball and many more is fun to watch or play. Unlike golf or tennis, watching the game is just so bland and boring. While many may disagree with me on that one, team sports are just leagues better. Watching the athletes work together, trying to beat the other team is just so exhilarating. Watching the players performing tricks in the court or them catching a ball from a yard away is just fun to watch.

The other point that makes team sports better than individual sports is that as a team there are many people playing. Watching them play and work together so well just shows us that they trained very hard to play that well. That's not to say that individual sports athletes don't work hard but as a team, it definitely makes the sport harder to execute. Making the sport more competitive is more entertaining to watch than to see two dudes or girls try and get the ball in a hole with a stick.

Sports are much better played with friends. It makes the game less of a competition and see it as a fun game to play.

We will put a bottle in the middle and wrap it in flour and use water to harden it. We will shape it like a stratovolcano. We will make it erupt using elephant's toothpaste. We will need hydrogen peroxide and potassium permanganate and also dish soap.

Build it! Record it erupting and share.

Is The South Island of New Zealand better than the North Island? I think that both of the islands have their own good qualities and it honestly just depends on peoples opinions. Peoples lifestyle can affect their opinion on what they think the better place to live in is. If someone was rich they would choose to live in the North Island because there are better opportunities there. Although that is not to say that the South Island isn't as great. 

As I said before peoples lifestyle affects the way they think and live their life. Also, if a person wants to achieve something (maybe they have a dream of opening a shop) it also comes into play. There are many variables on what a person may consider.  If the person had the money to start a small business, of course, they would start somewhere where they can be financially stable first before they move into the big leagues. 

 There are areas in the South Island which are cheaper than the North Island where they can set up a small shop/restaurant. Although if you were to start a bigger business (like a company) you could start it in the North Island. There are many talented people in the North Island looking for work and chances they can grab.

South Island has a much cheaper price on houses.
