Why was a Treaty needed in New Zealand?

In 1830 there were 100000 Maori and 100 Europeans living in New Zealand. The behavior of the Whalers, the Missionaries’ desire to help protect Maori rights and the Musket Wars were reasons that a treaty was needed. The Declaration of Independence was another contributing factor to the need for a treaty.

One reason that a treaty was needed was the lawless behavior of some of the British Settlers like whalers. The lawlessness made it hard for other people like the Maori to clean up after the settlers. They were drinking excessively and getting drunk and trashing bars. They held Maori women as prostitutes and did all sorts of things against their will. This ongoing lawless behavior was one reason a treaty was developed.

Another reason that a treaty was needed was to protect Maori rights. One group that felt strongly about this was the missionaries. They helped the Maori by giving them back their land which was taken by the settlers and giving them back their jobs so they could have a living and pay for their family. The rights of Maori was another reason the treaty was created.

Another reason that a treaty was needed was the Musket Wars. The musket wars were bad enough as it is, but it was way worse for those who didn't have muskets. So in order to get muskets, the Maori had to trade all their food for muskets. This made it hard for them to feed their family or even themselves. But they had too as they would have been defenseless if they were attacked by other tribes. The loss of 20,000 people in the musket was also lead to the treaty development.

The final reason that a treaty was needed was the existence of the Declaration of Independence. The declaration of independence wasn't working out, no one was follow what they were trying to do or say so instead, they created a treaty which allowed both tribes to come to an agreement and hopefully stop the wars. Allowing the Maori to live in peace and not have to worry about being killed, or protecting their family.

In conclusion, a treaty was needed because there were just too many wars and lawlessness behavior was just getting out of hand. Everyone was either trying to defend their tribe or attack another tribe. And a treaty stopped all that from happening and allowed their to be peace between the tribes.

Today in science, I will be researching volcanoes and the history behind it.

Tambora was the largest volcano explosion known to the planet in the last 10000 years.
It happened on 10 April 1815.
The eruption reached over 50 kilometers away.
The eruption killed more than 100000 people directly and indirectly.
Mount Tambora is still active till this day.
It is believed that the eruption created tsunamis that reached over 10 meters high.







After the research, we erupted a volcano we made. The eruption was able to happen as we mixed 4 spatulas of potassium iodide in 20 ml of water and 35% hydrogen peroxide dish washing liquid and food coloring.

“I could skin Saran alive and I still wouldn’t have my revenge.” I shrug off his
hand. “It’s not about him. It’s not even about me. If I don’t stop him tomorrow,

For the first time since the torture, I feel a hint of the old fire that used to roar

louder than my fear. But its flame is weak now; as soon as it flickers, it’s blown
out by the wind.

This could be compared to chapter 74 where King Saran firmly believes in duty over self. Peace between maji and kosidán
failed in the past, so he does not want to try again.
Inan believes he must make a similar choice between his country and his
heart. He makes the same choice as his father, even though the majacite
sword blisters his own skin (this is symbolism). Inan gives up everything to be
everything his Father wants.

But the only difference is that Zelie's duty is to bring back piece and magic. Unlike King saran, his duty is war and death.

“You can’t enslave an entire people for the rebellion of a few.”
Saran bares his teeth. “You can do whatever you want when you’re the king.”

This relates to someone who thinks only about the history of their family and uses that as an excuse to kill others.

Chapter 49 – Amari
Strike, Amari.
Father’s voice rings in my head, but it’s not his strength I need.
Be brave, Amari. Binta soothes instead.
Be the Lionaire.
King Saran sees the ability to hurt others as strength. Amari has realized that strength can
mean something else, as she learned from Binta. I believe strength comes from being strong
enough to do what is right.

This reminds me of the movie the lion king.

English essay

In the scene going for a run 1:29, from the movie The Power Of One director John Avildsen wants us to see the aspect of an aparthid.

In the scene were PK and Duma go for a run, the director uses a long shot to stress the environment that they are in. For instance, we see that the  government only allows 1 small and run down toilet for every 200 people. The director's purpose is to show how unequal the government's policy of apartheid was between whites and Africans. How even the basic amenities, like a toilet,  were unfairly distributed. This film technique allows the audience to visualize what the reality of having no home toilet but instead a single toilet for 200 people.The long shot with the tracking shot is key as it shows Duma and PK’s transition from the rundown, overcrowded and dirt street environment of the africans, compared to the modern looking, less crowded and wider sealed road environment.

In the scene, the director uses a mid shot to show PK and Duma going for a drink after their run. This scene is showing PK trying to drink out of a whites only water fountain. But it doesn't work. As PK frustratingly tries to get a drink, Duma goes to the non whites water fountain, which is only a tap. The director did this as he wanted to show that whites and blacks were not legally supposed to drink out of the same water fountain. This shows the audience how the people were racially segregated. Although it showed only a non white was supposed to drink out of a non white fountain, PK still felt comfortable enough to drink out of it. This is because he knows it is unlikely he would be in trouble for doing so. This would not be the same for Duma if he drank out of a whites only drinking fountain.

In this scene were Duma walks away from PK, the director uses a deep focus shot to show Duma walking past a white mother and her two children. As Duma neared the mother and her children, the mother pulled them protectively aside. The director did this to show a fear of letting white children to close to a male african. Like you would try to pull a child away from a wild dog in the street. This suggests to the audience that whites, especially white females, believe Africans are less than human. This is important because if whites considered africans were less than human, they could justify treating them inhumanely.







Hi Ryan -- excellent effort on your visual text essay! You have shown me that you are really keen to succeed, and this is great. Based on what you have added in the time you had for extension, I have moved you up from a level 4 to a level 5 (at the level) for this assessment. You have included some terrific advanced vocabulary choices such as ‘inhumanely’, ‘transition’, ‘visualise’ and ‘segregated’. In your introduction, the aspects are the film techniques (not Apartheid). Make sure you list these. A conclusion is also really important in an essay. In your body paragraphs, you could improve your writing by included links to your own experiences and/or events happening now in the wider world. Ka rawe Ryan :)

For Cabbage and Beetroot: Chop the cabbage into small pieces until you have enough to fill 2 cups.

Place the cabbage in a large beaker and add water to cover the cabbage.

Boil over a Bunsen burner for at least ten minutes for the color to leach out of the cabbage.

Filter out the plant material to obtain a red-purple-bluish colored liquid. This liquid is at about pH 7. (The exact color you get depends on the pH of the water.)

Place in a small beaker and leave to one side.

Repeat this method for the beetroot.

The director used longshot of a guard showing his power and about to punish geelpiet. In this long shot, you can see the guard's legs and baton, geelpiet, doc, pk and some prisoners sitting on the ground. In this particular scene, the director used the aspect of a long shot to emphasize the guards power and what he could do with PK, geelpiet and doc. This scene makes the audience feel terrified and say oh no! and feel suspicious about the guard.

In 1850 I was living in London, I’m 15 and I've been working as a chimney boy ever since I was 9 years old, cleaning all that coal and soot out of the chimneys. I had to start working because parents and I live in a one-room house that we can barely afford to rent. My job had very little to no pay and I was getting lung infections from all that coal getting into my lungs.

I needed a new job so I asked around. Most of the people didn't know or have any good jobs but there was one that stood out, it was to take care of a horse. So I applied and when I had my first day I found out that was just cleaning up horse shit. the smell didn't really bother me that much because I was used to the smell of feces on the street as people just do their business in a bucket that they keep under their bed. I've always hated that, as it gets to our water supply causing illnesses and diseases. Every time there is an election for a new government I am reminded that you have to be a wealthy man you have to be wealthy because only wealthy people own land as it was expensive, and you need land to be able to vote.

One day on my way to work I saw a poster stuck to a lampost. It promised land and a new start in a country called New Zealand. I took the poster with me to my work I looked at it all day and when I finally got home I told my parents about it. It took us months on end to get them to get the 15 pound ticket each. After we got the ticket we spent a long 120 days out at sea, wealthy people on that voyage could stay in more spacious cabins and eat better food but for the not so wealthy people, they were cramped under the deck with rodents and not so good food. Soon they started to get illnesses and diseases, some of them did not live to see land again. When they finally reached New Zealand then saw hardly and buildings. The only building they say were the settlers' buildings.

Children are used in child labour because they won't know right from wrong and they are easy to control. Child labour is also known as child slavery. Child slavery prevents them from having freedom thus removing them from their human rights. Some of those rights are freedom of speech, freedom of going where ever they want and so on. some of the countries are Eritrea, Iran, Afghanistan, Myanmar and Sudan. Children that are used in child labour are exposed to dangerous conditions and don't have basic human rights.

What is Arthritis?

What is Arthritis?

There are several different conditions when it comes to arthritis but the main causes of it are swelling or stiffness in a joint.

Because there are several types of arthritis, it’s important to know which one you have. These are the different types of arthritis Osteoarthritis, Gout and calcium crystal diseases, Rheumatoid arthritis, Spondyloarthritis, Ankylosing spondylitis, Psoriatic arthritis, Juvenile idiopathic arthritis.

Overexertion can lead to rheumatoid arthritis the causes of rheumatoid arthritis is not yet fully understood, although doctors do know that an abnormal response of the immune system plays a leading role in the inflammation and joint damage that occurs.

Myths-all joint pains are caused by arthritis, ice is less helpful than heat when it comes to treating arthritis.
