**__ New Zealand Earthquake __** The death toll in the Christchurch earthquake stood at 65 last night, and there were fears it would exceed 200 as rescue teams in New Zealand's second largest city searched frantically all night for survivors. Up to 200 people were feared trapped in buildings that collapsed as an earthquake of magnitude 6.3 struck at lunchtime yesterday. Bystanders described the city as a war zone, with dead bodies lying on streets, buildings demolished, vehicles flattened, roads ruptured, and water and silt - earthquake liquefaction - swamping the central city. The blacked out central city was under heavy security last night. About 400 army personnel are expected to be on duty today. As aftershocks struck, office workers jumped from fourth floors, abseiled down the side of collapsed office blocks or were rescued by cherry pickers while gas mains ruptured, and fires broke out, threatening to engulf the city centre.

Christchurch Hospital was unable to cope and the city ran out of ambulances. Private cars ferried people to medical help and many of the injured were taken to other towns. The Prime Minister, John Key, confirmed the death toll at 65. The opposition Labour leader, Phil Goff, who also flew to the city, said police had told him that between 200 and 300 people might be dead. The mayor of Christchurch, Bob Parker, said at least 100 people were trapped in about six sites and up to 200 people could be trapped across the city.  I don't believe there will be thousands dead, but we're certainly talking dozens of people who are in peril and they may not be able to be saved. ** Earthquake strikes Christchurch ** Last night Sky News reported that rescuers had pulled 120 people alive from the rubble. A state of emergency was declared and the central business district evacuated. Power and gas were shut off to prevent fire. The city's water and sewerage was damaged and people were urged to conserve and boil water. Mr Key said extra police and army reinforcements had been brought in to help. I don't think we can go past the fact that we may well be witnessing New Zealand's darkest day, he said. ** A comparison of recent major earthquakes to strike the world. The size of the circle indicates the comparative magnitude of the quake. ** The Australian Prime Minister, Julia Gillard, told Parliament she had spoken with Mr Key. I said very simply to him that anything we have got that they need we will get to them. The air force flew a NSW search and rescue team of 40 to New Zealand and more help is on the way. At least 8000 Australians are thought to be in the area. The earthquake hit at 12.51pm (10.51am Sydney time). Another earthquake, measuring 7.1 on the Richter scale, struck Christchurch on September 4 and the region has since been shaken by aftershocks. Large parts of the city and suburbs to the south - including Lyttelton where the quake was centred at a depth of five kilometres - were hit. Wharves at Lyttelton Port, the region's main shipping terminal, suffered damage but reopened within hours. The earthquake caused the New Zealand dollar to drop by more than 1¢ against the US dollar. Economists believe the damage bill will exceed the $NZ6 billion cost in September. The manager of the data centre at the Institute of Geological and Nuclear Sciences, Kevin Fenaughty, said this earthquake caused more damage than the one in September because of its shallowness. ''It's a nightmare. A lot of people were just getting back on their feet after the original quake.'' There were fears for people trapped in offices including the Canterbury Television building and the Pyne Gould Guinness building. A group of Japanese exchange students were reportedly among those trapped. The historic Anglican cathedral has been the city's centrepiece for 107 years. When the September earthquake struck it stood firm, a symbol of endurance and hope. That time, much of the city was tucked up in bed, the CBD deserted. Not so yesterday. The CBD was on its lunch break. People were shopping, eating in offices or restaurants. A few were in the cathedral when the quake hit. The 63-metre cathedral spire rocked, swayed and fell. The dean, Peter Beck, could not confirm if any were under the rubble. We just don't know if there were people underneath, so all we can do now is just pray.

Angus, An ok effort so far. Still waiting to see your work on Macbeth and Lady Macbeth which you are catching up on from when you were away. You have not posted your analysis of the Earthquake article either. When you think about the effect of a technique think about why it is persuasive. Does it emphasise an idea? does it highlight a sound that adds to the effect of the words chosen? does it create a visual image? or set a certain tone? Homework warnings: 1 APA progress: 2.5

Firstly, King Henry V motivates his troops by fighting like men. The example that he uses is “then he will strip his sleeves and show his scars”. This is showing that after the fight, you will show your scars and say that you fought that day and fought like a man. Secondly, king Henry V speech is about passing down wisdom from father to son. This is appealing to his men that they will survive this battle and they will pass down what they experienced at St Crispins Day. For example “this story that the good man will tell his son”. Thirdly, King henry V speech is saying that it is an honour to be fighting for your country and trying to defend it with all your strength. For example, “ Gods will, I pray there wish not one man more”. This is saying that they are good enough to defeat the enemy with this many people. This is an honour for these soldiers. Lastly, King Henry V lowers himself in the same state as their soldier by appealing to the armies manhood and saying “We few, we happy few, we band of brothers”. This not only appeals to the soldier’s manhood, but it also indicates that Henry V is also included in this “band of brothers” and it gives the soldiers the trust and faith that they are one solid group of men, brave men. This statement “We few, we happy few, we band of brothers” also has the usage of inclusive language. Henry V uses repetition of the word “we” to express how he is also in the same group as the soldiers and the soldiers are the equal as henry. The statement also has a repetition of the “F” sound which creates a brave and courageous affect and motivates the soldiers. This appeals to their manhood more easily and also motivates the whole army with the fact that their king/leader is fighting against the side of them.
