Prospective Student

The boy was determined to get to the top of the towering mountain to find the dojo. Suddenly as he was climbing the vertical rocks one of his hands struggled to get to the next and slipped.”

Oh no this is the end” he thought in his head. He was petrified. He stretched his other hand and gripped strongly to the ledge above and heaved himself up. As he was nervously waiting to catch his breath he noticed that he was at the top.

“THANK GOD theres the dojo” he shouted. He hiked up the icy path one step at a time wiping his sweat. “This is my time”.

Rosa Parks

Ms Rosa Parks had just finished a hard day’s work and is on the bus way home. As normal on Montgomery Alabama busers. black in the back and white in the front. If a white person enters the bus and they are  no seats a black person would have to give they seat up.

A white man walks into the bus and waits for  Ms Rosa to move. Ms Rosa does not give up her seat. The white man tells the bus driver and the bus driver waves to the police. The police enters the bus and arrested Ms Rosa. Ms Rosa goes to jail for only five days.

As people saw and heard what happens they started protesting because she got arrested for just not giving up her seat.They chose to boycott using the bus. They started walking. Taxi drivers changed black people 10c and white people 45c but they lost their jobs. Black people started they own taxi company by using their own cars. The protest went on for a year and the local civil right were finally changed by new legislation from the president.

Rainbow Warrior Bombing

One dark night in July 1985 2 suspicious men motored around Mechanics bay on a zodiac.It was odd these two men were wearing scuba diving gear in the middle of the night. Through the mist they targeted towards Marsden Wharf. Meanwhile as Greenpeace’s ship Rainbow Warrior was anchored at Marsden Wharf, a  party was being celebrated, the director of the anti-nuclear movement’s 29th birthday. The two unknown men slipped down through the water unnoticed. They swam under the Rainbow Warrior  and attached two limpet bomb to the bottom of the boat stealthily.

Suddenly a tragic blast exploded through the walls of the Rainbow Warrior. “Abandon ship Abandon ship,” said Pete Willox in a loud voice. They all escaped except photographer Fernando Pereira, he ran back to the ship after the first explosion to claim his things. Water was thundering through the hallways hitting everything in it’s way. As every second went past the more water came tumbling in. The Rainbow Warrior sunk and no sight of Fernando Pereira was found until they retrieved his body later on.

The two suspicious men were actually working with 11 undercover spies for the French government. After the bombing  New Zealand police tracked and arrested two of the spies Dominique Prieur and  Alain Mafart who ended up getting sentenced to ten years in jail.  

But only stayed in jail for 2 years. Unfortunately the French Government gave New Zealand 13m dollars, and said if they don’t give they spies back they will boycott using New Zealand products. That meant losing thousands and thousands of dollars. `  

The French spies blew up the Rainbow Warrior because they were trying to stop them from protesting against the nuclear testing in French Polynesia. This was causing negative impacts like death, radiation poisoning, health problems like birth deformities and cancer.

This was the only New Zealand terrorist attack.
