The Good Samaritan

The Good Samaritan
As I  am walking down from Jerusalem to Jericho on a sunny, peaceful day I suddenly hear someone coming. I look side to side but I don't see anyone.  I look in front and I see a person holding a stick. I move to the side and just walked away then wap goes my legs from the air to the ground. Poof, goes the sand to my eyes. They attack me, they tear off my clothes, beat me up, and leave me lying there like a rotten mushroom. I am feeling very weak like I’m going to melt like ice in the sun. I can feel blood dripping down from my nose to my lip like rocks are falling on me. I feel like I am dying, but suddenly I hear footsteps coming  towards me. I thought someone was coming to beat me up again but when I looked up I saw a man helping me. I see him wearing a red, white and blue cloth. I'm lucky enough that I see a jewish priest coming.” I'm sure he will come and help me. I’m sure”.

Treaty of Waitangi

The Treaty of Waitangi
The Treaty Of Waitangi was signed in 1840 by the British Crown and Maori Chiefs because it was an agreement to stop lawlessness. The Maori chiefs signed the Treaty because they thought the British would protect them. After the Treaty was signed, more immigrants came and took the Maori land. In 1867, the law was changed and Maori seats were now included but there were only four seats which was not fair to the Maori. By this time most of New Zealand was in European ownership because British immigrants kept coming so the new settlers wanted more land. The Pakeha wanted to break Maori resistance.   

The British Crown and settlers committed group sin against the Maori by dishonoring the Treaty of Waitangi. One Example of this is New Zealand was in European control. Another example of this was British settlers came and took over the land.
