Part A: Perturbing Thoughts - 6 Marks

Part A Perturbing Thoughts 6 Marks

Take the last 2 numbers in your student number. If they are not the same, go to Step 2. If they are the same, add 1 to the last number (e.g., '77' becomes '78'). In the case of '99,' it will go to '90'. For example, if your student number is 32521606, the last two digits are '0' and '6'. If both are not the same, proceed with these numbers. If they are the same, adjust accordingly.

Select the two words from the provided list that correspond to your two numbers. The list is as follows:

  • 0: square
  • 1: hair
  • 2: chair
  • 3: duck
  • 4: hand
  • 5: sand
  • 6: sun
  • 7: fish
  • 8: drum
  • 9: plum

Using your two words in any order, modify them recognizably (by adding or subtracting) and do the following tasks:

Task 1:

In less than 15 words, describe symptoms of the fictional disease named according to your two words. (1 mark)

Task 2:

In less than 15 words, write the headline for a news story involving your two words. (1 mark)

Task 3:

In 2-3 sentences, describe the business named with your two words, including what it sells. (1 mark)

Task 4:

Choose one of the descriptions from Tasks 1-3 and elaborate on it in less than 200 words. For example, if you chose Task 2, write a short news article to go with the headline. If you chose Task 3, discuss competitors, customers, business history, etc.

Paper For Above instruction

Student number 32521606: Last two digits 0 and 6. Since they are different, we proceed with these numbers. For the number 0, the corresponding word is 'square', and for 6, the word is 'sun'.

In this exercise, I will combine and modify these words to generate creative content related to a fictitious disease, a news story, and a business. First, I select 'square' and 'sun' as my foundational words.

Task 1: Disease Symptoms Description

Sun-induced eye irritation causing squared-shaped light flashes and persistent blinding spots. (14 words)

Task 2: News Headline

"Sun Squares Sight: New Illness Causes Geometric Visual Disturbances!" (10 words)

Task 3: Business Description

The business, 'Square Sun,' is a specialty optical shop that sells customized glasses featuring geometric light-reactive lenses. It targets individuals interested in unique visual experiences and eye health. The company was founded in 2015 and has grown rapidly due to innovative product designs and personalized services.

Task 4: Elaborating on the News Story

The recent emergence of sun-related visual disturbances, branded as 'Sun Squares Sight,' has captivated medical professionals and consumers alike. The condition, caused by exposure to intense sunlight interacting with reflective surfaces, produces distinct square-shaped light flashes that can temporarily impair vision. This phenomenon has sparked public concern and has driven innovation in protective eyewear. The company 'Square Sun' has responded by developing specialized sunglasses that mitigate these effects through geometric light filtering and enhanced UV protection. Their product, blending optical science and art, offers not only eye safety but also a novel visual experience. The outbreak underscores the importance of understanding environmental impacts on health, prompting further research and technological development in visual protective gear.
