Dangle

The glistening snow was crisp under one lonely man’s shoes,

he was walking until his eyes caught sight of a red rope,

The lonely man felt curious as he approached the rope,

the red tasseled rope was hanging from the pale sky with clouds like fluffy white marshmallows,

He pulled the rope and all of a sudden everything around his goes as black as coal, he stood there for a while until he realized what had just happened,the rope was swaying lightly

He had thought to himself once or twice this might change everything thing around me,

His nerves told him to step away from the rope but his heart told him to pull it once more, he took one small step towards the rope,

He made up his mind and pulled the rope once more, everything was bright and the sun was shining fiercely, he raised his eyebrows then started to smile

He kept pulling the tasseled rope, he tugged at the rope but all of a sudden it stayed pitch black, he couldn’t do anything, He pulled it one last time to see what would happen, the red tasseled rope fell from the sky into a big pile on the snow covered ground, the glimmering light from the city towers allowed him to see the rope lying still on the snow while he covered his face in disbelief...

Changing the NZ flag.

CHANGING THE FLAG!

By Ella Wymer

Some people think that changing the New Zealand flag is a good idea! I disagree! I believe that John Key wasted 29 million dollars on a referendum to change the flag only to find that the majority of people did not want it!.

The first reason I am against changing the flag is that the men and women who were in the wars fought under the current flag. To change it, would make some New Zealand families very sad and unhappy because their loved ones died under that flag. It could also make them feel that it didn’t mean anything to anyone! The current flag has been part of our culture since 1920.

In addition, the money that was spent on the referendum was ridiculous. They could have used the money for people who needed it the most. For example: the Cancer society, Hospice Waikato or really anyone who is less fortunate and lives below the poverty line. Our current health or education system could have also used the money.

The history of New Zealand is tied up in the flag. The current flag has been around for 114 years. History is also important because it can help you understand change with culture and society views.

History helps us understand who we are. To know where we come from helps us to understand our future.

Lastly one more reason it that New Zealand has had this current flag for 114 years so that would be a big change for New Zealand!  Is it really important to spend money on something of this nature? Let us focus on what is important.

In conclusion,  I disagree with everyone who supports the idea of changing the flag!!!
