Camp Blog - Task 0:CAMP REFLECTION: Cabin Night - Huriata Reflection

My Highlights! Cabin Night

It was during fiafia night that I had had a good night, I did not really have a good night, no, not at fiafia night. It was actually after the ceremony when we went back to our cabins to rest. If you'd would've known or been there 'Faith' a friend of mine that was in our cabin had performed more than two times that night. It was whilst being there that Faith had wanted to perform a song called 'One step at a time' though she wanted to do a duet, with me. I didn't feel like it, well, that and if I didn't want to do it I would've ruined her performance. So no! She did sing the song but  when back in the cabins she felt so down... really down. She had wanted nobody to sing or say sing (Which, ah... NO! Because that was her own fault for making herself feel like that)  She had eventually given up and our cabin were annoyed at her. We helped her out and sang with her. It was a magical, musical night as we sang songs and the whole cabin had a good night after learning about each other and being able to create a stronger bond(Other than the cabin next to us).

That was my highlight. I learnt that I am very supportive, forgiving and loud, I like making new friends but I also like making the right friends. The thing that I was surprised about me was how comfortable I was being with the girls in my cabin. We showed team at camp by being somewhat/ being involved. Well, we showed 'participating and contributing' by being involved in the activities we did. And for 'Relating to others' it was obvious everyone was very independent but tried to work together in there own way. Some skills I think I need to improve on is being more involved and share idea's, the relating to others is probably being able to coop and decide my own (something) that everyone agrees on!

Persuasive Writing - It is Wrong to Fight

WALT Write a Persuasive Writing

I agree that It is wrong to fight and it is a negative way to solve things

___________________________________________________________________________________________

My most important reason is that it is a very negative solution to most problems. Physical contact or words could harm people mentally and physically causing the insult to expand or be isolated within the victim’s mind. Media is a commonly used thing today as well as phones, so an example could be cyberbullying which could be sent all around the world, that’s how it expands to being a viral situation. Now the world knows something new and bad things start to happen, police would be defensive and try to protect you but does that always work? That’s why it’s wrong to fight.     

___________________________________________________________________________________________

I think that there are people who fight back and get injured even more, same with the words because they could be sent verbally or in person. And some people just don’t want to talk about it. For example, fighting would be a way to relieve stress or to show off as an intimidating person, which is a bad reputation to present yourself.

___________________________________________________________________________________________

Relationship with people would be low and people would become more anti social towards each other. We have suspicion about the people we see/meet and there are times when people could be pulled into things such as fighting. You may be arguing for someone else or fighting in there place to protect them, but now the problem is bigger. The person you just protected would either fight with you or run away, if he fought the man would be beat and left alone or  sent to the police, that or they might beat you both. If he/her ran, the innocent person who protected him/her may be beaten up, killed, hurt badly or sent running away. That’s not what we want the world where everyone's afraid of everyone because our earth wouldn’t be called home sweet home anymore.

___________________________________________________________________________________________

What do I think about this piece of persuasive writing?

It’s a stupid thing to do and it’s smart. I really want to persuade the audience into thinking that it is bad/wrong to fight, we want peace.
