Acts of Union 1707

Treaty essay

Historians argue that understanding the causes of significant events is much more important than just remembering dates, facts and figures about things in the past. The Treaty of Waitangi was a contract signed by the Maori and British in 1840. The treaty was needed because there were many issues between the whalers and the Maori. 

The behaviour that was happening at Kororareka was bad. Without the treaty the whalers would continue being lawless and disrespectful. The whalers behaviour would have continued to be harmful towards Maori which didn't lead to a positive relationship between the European and Maori. For example the whalers would arrive to Kororareka and spend all their money on drinking which there could be up to 200 of them at a time. There was also increased prostitution with no laws around it and just general bad behaviour. The treaty helped control the whalers because it provided laws that both sides agree to.

 The missionaries wanted to protect the Maori and their rights so they influenced them to sign the treaty. For example the missionaries would purchase land in trust for the Maori, taught them to read and write in Te Reo and helped them with their farming. The reason they encouraged the Maori to sign the treaty was because it was the best way to help them protect their rights.

 The introduction of muskets to Zealand caused wars that killed many people. Maori traded large quantities of food and flax in exchange for muskets. Traditional weapons such as taiaha and mere were used before muskets but with the introduction of them tribes without muskets were forced to seek trade with Pakeha for their own because otherwise they would have no chance winning these battles. These musket wars killed over 20,000 people. The impact of all of this was important because land boundaries were changing rapidly because of these wars. The Musket wars caused increased violence and deaths because there were no laws around the ownership/trading of muskets. A treaty helped to prevent this and provide stability.

Interestingly, there was actually another agreement before the treaty. The Declaration of Independence was an agreement with the British crown signed by 34 rangatira in 1835 which was five years before the treaty. The agreement had a few main points and purposes of why it was needed including the fact that the Maori had declared them selves to have power over the country also that New Zealand was an independent country. The Declaration of Independence helped the Maori a lot, they were able to trade without their ships getting seized because they now had a flag.

This essay has demonstrated that the treaty was needed in New Zealand. Due to the issues of the behaviour of the whalers, the musket wars and the Declaration of Independence many Maori were dying and being treated very badly. We could learn from these situations today by making a treaty. The past has shown that treaties has been successful in creating peace such as the Treaty of Waitangi. The treaty did this for New Zealand so we know that it is possible.

Mythology Workshop

Mythology Workshop

I was peacefully walking along the beach when I suddenly seen something in the distance, it looked like rubbish was moving so I knew there was something wrong. I walked towards the rocks then I suddenly heard a small whelping noise. Shortly after I had finally found what was going on, there was a small turtle stuck in a plastic bag between some rocks. Unsure of how the turtle got stuck in there I immediately wasted no time and began to find ways to help the creature escape. The first method I tried was to just pull him out but it just wasn't working. After roughly five minutes of trying different ways I finally got it and held him whilst I took him back into the water to be free.

* There was a lot of planning that went into building a pyramid. Because of the weight, the location had to be on firm rock because building on sand would cause it to collapse. Specific measurements had to be made on the base size width and length. This was one of the most important decisions because it they were off, the pyramid would fall. Rock was cut out from quarries that were often quite a distance and carried on boats on the River Nile to the pyramid location. There were millions of pieces of rock that had to be just the right size to fit in place.

Workshop 4 Colour english 2019

What types of colours are used in this location?

Atmosphere (Mood) - The way your surroundings make you feel

1. District 12 - Beginning
Brown, Green, Nature, Grey, White, Natural palette.

2. The Capitol
Bright colours, Pink, White, Multi-coloured, Metallic palette for buildings,

3. Control Room
Cyan, White, Black, Hologram, Clinical - clean.

How do the different colour palettes change the feel of the story?

District 12 - Dark, old, Gloomy

The Capitol - Crowded, Futuristic, Luxurious

Control Room - Technological, Crisp, Clean

Why has the director used these colours?

District 12 - Life is hard, Poor, struggling

The Capitol - Easy lives, Rich, Living Lavishly, Happy, Healthy, Access to everything.

Control Room - Professional, 

Colour is used effectively to create atmosphere. 

We see this in the two scenes --- District 12 at the beginning and the Capitol as Katniss and Peeta arrive. In District 12 we see a natural palette of browns, greys and greens where as in the capitol the people wear bright colours and a metallic palette of greys, silvers and white is used. This makes us understand that things in District 12 are dark, old and gloomy whilst life in the Capitol easy, crowded and futuristic. The director did this to show the imbalance of Rich vs Poor. This shows life is hard and people are poor in the districts, but in the capitol life is easy.

Realism
Suspense - whats going to happen?
Makes us focus more
music during propaganda

Atmosphere - how you feel in a surrounding ( what your mood is)

Foreboding - something evil is going to happen ( or is coming )

Music and silence are used effectively to create a foreboding atmosphere in the Reaping scene. In the reaping scene the tributes from District 12 are selected and we see Katniss volunteer as tribute for her sister. The male tribute selected was Peeta. Silence is used when Effie draws out and reads the tributes names to make us feel like the moment is real to make us focus and draw out the suspense. The director has done this to make the audience worried about who will be chosen. Music was used to introduce the audience to Peeta when his name is drawn. The music is predominantly minor and has a slow tempo which makes us feel sad and worried like Peeta. This is combined with close-up shots of Peeta's worried facial expressions to draw the viewer in.

Keywords: Atmosphere/Mood - how you feel in the surroundings.

Life isn't equal in all places

Effie becomes the symbol of rich vs poor

RICH VS POOR PARAGRAPH

In the reaping scene costume is used effectively to show the imbalance between the rich and poor of Panam. For instance, the children of district twelve all look alike in dull, simple and over worn clothing. In contrast, Effie Trinkett arrives wearing bright colours, a large wig and head piece and excessive makeup. This makes the audience feel sorry for the people of district twelve because Effie is a symbol of the wealth in the capital. We see that not everyone lives in poverty. The director did this to show the hard life f those in katniss' home district. Coinciding with this is Effie's behaviour. She is loud, happy and confident while the people of the district are quiet and scared. This can be juxtaposed to the scene where Katniss and Peeta arrive in the capital. In this scene everyone else is rich and clean and they are the different ones.
