Cat's eyes
Cat’s eyes
Isolated in the unforgiving blackness, remains dark shadow of pitch black fur with bulging light-seizing eyes, on guard of its sorrow and territory.A dim reflection of a cold concrete grey in its mind-scanning light-catchers was a wary person of the animal control cautiously bellowing for this streak of feline blackness to nimbly trot out.
Deception he received,a rapid streak black jetted at him in infinite feline fury.Slice!Dice!Strip!The canine catcher and feline seizing object was no longer.Eyes of fright,falling night,the gradually illuminating light seizures depleted the energy of the host for 3 years.The streak infinite feline darkness slumbered into the blackness of night.Whoever kills the cat will be cursed with cat’s eyes.
I feel inspired and fascinated when I view this image,with a nearly infinite percentage of descriptive ideas and abstract vocabulary,but also a range of possible ideas for the task.The scenery is almost 100% an anti albino cat’s face,with camouflaging background.The emotion of of the furry cat is nervous because of the enlarged pupils.The colour of eyes is a shimmering silver colour.

The south African rugby team protest
WALT: Make a slide about the South African rugby team protest
I am against racism, because it is unfair, just because people have different skin color.
On 1958 a new law was set, in South Africa, when every “black” citizen was sent to jail, including, the prime minister, Nelson Mandela, the all blacks invited them on a rugby tour in NZ. As soon as they came, protests, started protesting, by holding signs, shouting loudly and even spraying flour bombs all over the rugby field. Soon the police got involved, thinking the protesting should stop and the game should go on.
On that week, more than 300 protestors were arrested and injured, being sent to hospitals, attempting to stop the game.
I feel highly uncomfortable about this, because, people in South Africa are being put in jail just because their skin is black.

DOC should think again about using 1080
I disagree with 1080 because it is well capable of killing native wildlife.
As well, as pests, like certain rodents and marsupials, 1080 has also killed insects, birds, livestock and some pets and plants, which it isn't supposed to do.
Every 3 years, 1080 eradicates 25% of kea, as well as 1,000's of other unfortunate native animals.
I feel heavily unsatisfied with 1080, about their dark secrete of killing native wildlife, also something must be done soon about this problem

Maui gods narrative
As the years went by, when the world was finally at peace, Maui was created by rehua and his wife. Many years later Maui constructed a fish hook, but this was no ordinary fish hook: It was enchanted. Tangaroa, the god of the sea weaved Papatuanuku, a sea blanket. Papatuanuku fell into a deep sleep, for many moons. She gradually sloped into the blanket.
Many years later Maui, thought something was not right. Papatuanuku, the earth mother was slipping into the sea. He had no choice: He had to fish up Papatuanuku s legs.

The bike
A young boy named Bob was flooded with a boredom emotion. He stumbled upon a rusty old bike, coated with dust.He swept the dust off and thought he could take a spin in it. He washed and polished it.This bike wasn’t just any bike…
He clambered onto the old bike.SUDDENLY, wooooooooooooosh!!!!!!! The bike raced into the woods. It wasn’t being pulled.bob wasn’t pedalling.It was as if the forest was a magnet.Bob realised something:The bike was enchanted.
As night approached bob started to get worried.He knew he should make the most of the light...That's it!,thought bob.He was going to use the light to guide him back.
The light remaining was crucial.Bob precisely, but gently tapped the bike’s ringing thing.It made an echoing ring.The ground shook dramatically.Bob knew what to do He clambered upon his rusty old bike,He started to pedal,into the light.Once he reached the light,There was nothing.Just a blank white space.It was like all; objects and time had been depleted.He faced back at the remaining woods.Suddenly it was shrinking.Bob knew what was happening:If he didn’t ring the bell again he would be trapped there forever.He tapped the horn again.FLASH! ZAP!! Everything that happened was set back to normal.Bob knew that he shouldn't ride the enchanted bike.But he doesn’t know that it is not still enchanted.The woods now leads to a cheerful meadow of butterflies and flowers.
