Dawn Raids

 Reflection Section:

This week in social study our teacher taught us about the Dawn Raids. It was explained in detail how the Dawn Raids had happened. The Dawn raids were an apology to the Pacific People who faced such tremendous incidents in the 1970s where police were attacking our people and our community. It also says that some of our people are still living in fear and that some still don't forget what had happened.                    The Prime Minister invited three languages, the Samoans, Tongas, Te Reo Maori, and the English were also there during the Dawn Raids.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                           “While no amount of rain can remove the bitter salt from the ocean waters, I ask you to let our spiritual connectedness soften your pain, and allow forgiveness to flow on this day,” she said.                                                                                                                                                                               It was a memory to those who were directly affected by it. New Zealand has offered a lot of help to the Pacific people as a form of an apology.  Pasifika people have the Prime Minister (Jacinda Aderm) sinscere apology.

Denzal Washington

The video of Denzal Washington Life Advice, it explains how life works for people that try to succeed in life.  There are some key points that he mentions while talking to billions of people in the audience. He said that there is nothing worthwhile than taking risks. He also mentions one of the famous political leaders who fought in civil wars. He said, *there's no passion to be found playing small and settling for a life that's less than the one you're capable of living. He also said that we should have faith in what we do and we should fall back not disappointing but fall back while still keeping the faith. There is success in your mistake and that there is nothing to worry about your mistake just keep doing what your goal for life is and don't give up because it is not an option to give up on something that could lead to success and that hope or decision lies with you. 

 

This is my last English blog post fro this term. I hope you like it.

The Gone Mysterious Island. 

It was a mysterious and unrelatable island. There were trees talking and animals singing like human beings. The trees don’t have faces and the animals were just furry and cute. But no one imagines that they would sing and talk like they're just normal humans. The people were like fairies flying around and speaking their own language like their squeaking like squirrels. They were small and cute little fairies. Every fairy has special powers. Some of them can control water, air, fire, earth, others can make animals listen to them, and others don't have special powers they have their own ability to create and make inventions that is easy for them to use.

Each of the fairies has its own unique colors. Purple ones are the ones that control water, Yellow ones are the ones that control the sunlight, the green ones are the ones that have the ability to create a special invention for them, the orange ones are the ones that can control earth, Blue control the animals, pink can control fire and all the fairies call them the feisty fairies. And all the other colors control their own special abilities. 

They are just us humans but they have their own way of life. Everything was going on well with their kingdom. But everything changes when people try to capture them for experiment and search what kind of species are they. Others tried to capture them and sell them to the people so that they can make money. Their whole kingdom was afraid of what’s happening to them. So the Queen of fairies decided to leave their island and go somewhere safe because it is a life-loss island for them.

 The island was an incredible place And it is now a historic island. The beautiful green and colorful island were gone. The refreshing smell of the island and its happy people disappeared into thin air. It was unfortunate for the fairies but not for the humans. They were living a happy life and enjoying every single day with a happy smile on their face. They are enjoying life without them knowing they ruined other peaceful and beautiful living creature’s homes. The things they’ve done can not be undone. 

Imagine someone destroying your kingdom and your people, would you feel bad or feel good? because when we want to destroy something we have to think if it’s a bad thing to do or a good thing. Think clearly, we might not know that other special creatures are living below or above us. That’s an important thing to do before shattering other things like what humans did to the Believing Island and its people.  

 

It's referring to how our ancestors teach their children how to speak politely. And that's how we Samoans learn how to speak politely and how we treat our elders and everyone.
