The Outsiders by S.E Hinton.

 The book, The Outsiders is about gangs,stealing and friendship. Johnny that have been treated terribly by his family and couldn't lean on anyone but the people that are in the gang. Darry, Soda and Ponyboy's parents died in a car crash and therefore have nobody but each other to rely on.

The idea of a person being deemed an outsider makes me feel relieved that I don't feel this way.

Reading what they were brought up around with violence from the people that are suppose to love them, not hit them made me feel sad. It shocked me that they couldn't even walk outside without a blade in their pocket because they might get jumped. I'm relieved that Johnny didn't tolerate his parents' behaviours anymore because he could depend and rely on their friends in their gang instead. I think parents should look after their kids and treat them with love and care.

Something which shocked me in the book was when Cherry and Marcia were actually nice to Greasers even though they were Socs, they didn't judge Johnny and Ponyboy only Dally but it was his fault that he was treating them with disrespect. I think if you want peoples' respect you must be kind and respectful to other people.

But if it does work then I hope you enjoy:).

 

Dark side of chocolate.

  Cocoa beans.

For the past two weeks we have been learning in social studies how cocoa beans can relate to human rights. I found out that kids from Africa get forced to collect cocoa beans, there parents would rather them work instead of going to school and learn. They work 84 hours a week, 12 hours a day and get paid 10$ an hour. Witch is not minimum wage but what ever the kids get the parents take. It all comes back to human rights our main topic for this term. Here is my map about were cocoa beans come from originally, the places that have cocoa beans, the places that force kids to make chocolate, places that use cocoa beans for chocolate at the factory's and the places that sell chocolate. Hope you enjoy:).

Wellington trip :0

 We've had a three day trip to wellington, all paid for ready to go just with a fee of 175 dollars and with some rules to go by on this three day trip. We got to be up at the school by 6:00am to take the bus down to the Auckland airport did I tell you that my teacher had to fundraise 1100 dollars for 20 students and 5 teachers to come down to wellington anyways,, Were down at the airport yeah we get told that were aloud to go get us a feed so we all go to Maccas it was nice. Now it's time to catch our plane and we're all hurrying up to eat our food in the line we were waiting in to get checked. groups went on at a time to go sit in our seets. Were on the plane I was by the most dramatic person on the plane (Tahlya) shes like im gonna cry when we were taking off. We get to the airport an hour later and were playing handball outside, Whaea Annette and Whaea Shannon got us taxis to go to the National Library. We spent enough time there to learn enough about our history sung some songs too those people and were on the taxis to go book into our hotel we were staying in... Man that place was onn maybe because there was a New World across the road from the place we were staying at. Well we went to New world to go get munchies for the night well Whaea Annette shouted us KFC ( personal thanks). It was cool that night because we were all just vibin in this room with heaps of bean bags and a big T.v it was great. We all went to sleep at like 11 just eating our food in the rooms my badd. Tuesday exactly 6:00 I got up sat outside and watched some tik toks with Tai witch was crack up. We all got into our school clothes which were a skirt, white shirt and a blazer and for the boys navy pants,white shirt,blazer and a tai. We all went to the Parliament buildings which was great but our legs were sore from walking too much. We learnt about how people are in court and were the people sit it was aight. We sang some good songs ( a bit flat but oh well),, We got shouted lunch fish and chips with a drink sitting down at the park they made. Then up again to go to Te papa. We get too Te papa and mann it was fun as because after the tour we went into this animated gallipoli and the words in the background well the sound was letters read that people in war write to their beloved ones. it was very interesting and funny. We get to our hotel, go get changed to go out for dinner it was entertaining and cool because we got food after walking around and learning heaps of stuff. We go too New world get food obviously we go back into that room with the big tv I was talking about and you can feel the vibe right there looking at everyone laughing,playing on there phones eating there food everything that vibe right then and there was good. Wednesday last day of this trip we celebrate by having breaki and then we go straight too packing up cleaning our rooms. We have all our stuff ready and set. We spend our last day at ballarama this bowling place it was funny because we weren't really talented at bowling but just the laugh counted. After bowling we all went to the arcade games mann I BEAT TAI AT THAT CAR GAME.. yeah but had some good bonding time with tai and george there. We get too the airport and jump on the plane were all tired and wanting to go to sleep. ohh the bus we all sit down tired with all our left over foods from the trip we all chill till we get back home. I was a good experience going made a lot of memories and bonds with alot of people I cant forget.
