The Treaty Of Waitangi
Treaty Of Waitangi
Planning
Setting | Character | Mood | Problem | Outcome |
Afternoon and the treaty of waitangi ground | Me Ruqa Viena Murray neha Missionary Henry Williems | Worried angry and stressed | We got scammed by the british. | We signed a treaty of waitangi. |
On a nice warm day we the maori people were playing peacefully on the nice beach with a warm touch of smoothness from the sand and cold joint to my legs from the splashing waves coming towards me. Until the british chief Murray and his assistant Viena came along. They wanted our land so bad that they pushed us into accepting bad trades.The british saw an opportunity to bring New Zealand our land into its empire. Viena screamed from the top of lungs GIVE US THE LAND when suddenly Ruqa my assistant came along and slapped Viena on the face saying WE ARE NOT ACCEPTING THAT TRADE. The British people left empty handed with an angry red face.
Each day the british chief Murray and his assistant Viena always came to our land and kept forcing us to let them have the land. I could hear the neha saying no chief don't do it beside me but I thought Neha's right why would I upset my people so I declined in an angry voice . Murray and Viena Were so angry that they came day by day to annoy us and they keep trying to force us into trading our land for the boats. I stood up and said NO! they were deviceaded.
On 3th february 1840 we had a big argument with the british Chief when all of a sudden we saw Missionary henry williams walked away from the crowd with us not knowing he was there he stood in front of me and he only said three words ‘SIGN A TREATY’ Me and Murray looked at each other nervously without giving it a second think we had agreed to sign the treaty the next day.
Coca dododo I woke up worried of what would happen when the treaty was signed.I got ready in my cultural clothes and off I went to the treaty of waitangi grounds and I saw my people cheering and clapping for me. I was so worried I think everyone could tell that. I also saw the british people not even cheering for me but only their chief murray. Of course Murray will bring Viena luckily. I came with Ruqa, my all time favourite assistant. I knew that Murray didn't want to agree he started arguments like he said Why can't you just give us your land it's not that hard, I just laughed and said of course we are not going to give you our land so it is not FREE. Finally the arrival of Missionary Henry Willioms was here so we could get the treaty over with but there was a problem when we signed the treaty of waitngi Murray and his assistant were trying to scam us he was trying to take our land for free.After he'd try to scam us he made everything worst. Wars started to happen between us. The thing that was funny when wars happened Viena and Ruqa were fighting in their own way Me and Murry just stand there watching soon after they looked at us and felt embarrassed Missionary Henry willson said PLEASE JUST STOP sign the treaty it will be better ”OK” I said as I shivered and sweat started to pour from my face to the paper as the ink of the pen drew You can take half of our land and Murray wrote let's be a one person.
After the treaty was signed I didn't regret it so much as Murray because everything was amazing after we and the british people were a family but the thing that did it was sell us some of their expensive boats for half land which was even more amazing.
