Guns Germs and Steel

What causes a country to have fewer resources even thought they have countries in the same region that have a lot of resources. Papa New Guinea is a good example they have Australia in the same region and they are a lot richer than Papa New Guinea.  Australia has more resources and a lot more people who give more jobs that make communities.

The Papa New Guinean peopled has such little resources compared to the Australians and the New Zealanders. The rich country of England was running out of places to put there slaves so they started sending their slaves to Australia. They pushed aside the native people of Australia and they English started to bring more and more slaves in from England. Soon they started letting go slaves and the slaves stayed in Australia and build up communities and businesses. At that time they had a lot more resources compared to the Papa New Guineans. The only reason why the Australians had more resources because of the people from England that came to Australia. The resources were ship from England that was made in England. The English Empire had enough labor in Australia that they were able to produce resources in Australia

Papa New Guinea is less developed than New Zealand and Australia because of the English coming in and taking over of Australia. There is a chance that the Papa New Guineans just do not want to be developed. In Australia there are a lot more room and places to people to go the English built communities. It could be caused by the English may have come and showed them modern things. They were scared of the high tech machines that the Englishmen came and showed them. In Papa New Guinea they have fewer resources which make them use more man work. If they are working all day they will never wonder about other things so they don't think of creation. They weren't able to think of anything other than work then they man any benefits in there life's.

Fire flies blog post

In these few paragraphs I will be explaining what it would like being a mud skipper when we went to plant our mangroves. I saw two men early in the morning the dropped off a few plants that look like my house. So after a while I saw them again and with a big crowd with other people. After a long while I saw the men pick a piece of wood. He started twisting the wood into the mud and made a big hole in the floor. He started ripping a cover that was on the plant I see those kinds of bags a lot around the swamp. Then he put's the plant in the hole and covers the sides and starts talking to the crowd. 


The crowd starts lining up for something but they got it very quickly. They soon started walking towards me so I was skipping as fast as I could. The people were very slow and were slipping a lot then some of them started falling very close to my house and my family. They started getting faster and a big yellow thing that was on the crowd. Soon I was on the other side of the swamp jumping throw the trying to get away from the yellow thing. Then I was inside one of those yellow things that had a soft thing at the bottom and soon I was being thrown around the swamp. I could see that the crowd was coming close to me and all going the same way.

I was watching people slipping and falling and I was also being thrown around. Soon I was dumped out of the big yellow thing and dropped onto the dirt. Soon I had to go and dodge the entire crowd so that I don't get crushed. I also had to try and get back into the swamp so that I could go back into my house. So I tried to get back but there was still some of the crowd coming out from the swamp. I started going throw the crown then I was stuck on a boot and thrown far into the swamp. Then I had too go throw all of the mud to get back home. When I got home I said that was a dangerous and muddy day.
