my selfie poem

I am from My xbox from tvs and blue beanbags
 I am from the couch where i watch tv comfortable and black I am from the the mown lawn From snowboarding The pohutukawa tree I am from the sounds footsteps water and music From my bed I'm from family visits and generosity From stephan and kerri I'm from “don't spend all your money” and “g'day mate” And your “phone’s gone for a day” and “good gob” I'm from “don't be bad or you’ll be on the naughty list” and “go sit in the corner and face the wall” I am from the pages of hairy bum and jingle bells I am from gaming and fortnite I am from surfing at the beach English nachos and burritos From work stories and unsupervised workers Pictures of kids

onomatopoeia poem

The Proboscis Monkey’s Day

As the proboscis monkey swings through the trees

Swish, swoosh

Swish, swoosh

Tarzan the monkey man

is hanging on a rubber band

                            The wind blows loud

And there's a big rain cloud

and Sticky Joe is cooking some beans

As Shrek is lying under a bridge

He gets up to get a slug from the fridge

As the monkey’s still swinging in the trees

his big fat nose

flops up and down like a hose

So he crashes down from the trees

And falls in a dumpster

and lands on some frozen peas.

nelson mandela

Nelson Mandela

Nelson Mandela lived in South Africa. Nelson Mandela fought against apartheid and
segregation. Nelson Mandela was against White Supremacists.

Apartheid is a race that is against another race. Segregation is when different races are
separated from different races because of their skin colour. 69 people peacefully
protesting for equal rights in South Africa were killed by the police and that was called
the Sharpeville massacre.  

Sometimes change happens in secret. People were going to put Nelson Mandela in jail
because he was standing against what most white South Africans believed and they
wanted to have equal rights.

Nelson Mandela believed that different races could live together and accept each other.
Nelson mandela proved that he was not racist by saying anc was not anti white but they
were against white supremacy. White supremacy is when white people get better rights
than black people and other cultures.

In conclusion I think how this affects us today is different races get to live together and
learn about each other's cultures.

mahatma Gandhi

Gandhi

Gandhi made justice happen in his life when he stopped most of the Indians
from getting their fingerprints put in ink

An eye for a eye ends up making the whole world blind. This means that if we
keep fighting it wood never stop I think that this is a true statement.

Or what I think usually after someone gets revenge then the other person
doesn't get revenge again.

Mahatma Gandhi was born in India in 1869 and was assassinated in 1948.
Mahatma Gandhi was peacefully walking down the street when he was
gunned down by a radical Hindu.

The British government banned the Indians from gathering salt and made the
Indians pay tax for salt so when they brought salt they had to pay for tax as well.

I think Mahatma Gandhi did a good thing fighting for equal rights because
everybody should have equal rights.
