Really Want To Go Home

by DagaNow (Paiwan/Rukai)

Indigenous Peoples straying in the city

Do not have much luxury to dream

Blood with special mark flowing in the body

Do not know if tomorrow will still be the same

Indigenous Peoples living under uncertainty

Wounded souls want to go back to their homeland

Have been reluctantly in disguise for so long

Do not know if tomorrow will still be the same

Really want to go home

Really want to go home

At the end, Indigenous Peoples are all the same

Young men earn their livings in city factories

Young girls are forced into prostitution

Realized that life is no easy task

Do not know if tomorrow will still be the same

What will be the future for Indigenous Peoples

To speak of it made my heart feel sore

Ask for the answer made my heart go panic

Do not know if tomorrow will still be the same

Really want to go home

Really want to go home

At the end, Indigenous Peoples are all the same.

This poem is about how Aboriginals have a very different day each day. The theme is that they do not know if the next day will be the same and how they want to go back to how their life was before the British arrived. At the end of each paragraph, the writer says: “Do not know if tomorrow will be the same.” Every paragraph talks about different aspects of their damaged lives

1. What is meant by the 10 – 20 – 30 rule?

The 10 – 20 – 30 rule means that you should have 10 slides on the Presenation, It should take 20 minutes to finish the powerpoint and the font size should be 30 so you can have a lot less text and it forces you to have a lot lest in the PowerPoint.

2. Explain why it is important to make sure that you are effective in the presentation of your nominee?

It is important that our presentation of the nominee is effective so the audience understands:

• How the person is an inspirational person of faith.
• How the nominee represents Marist Charism and qualities of Jesus.
• What we say or write on or presentation.
• The presentation and does not fall asleep etc.

1. Read the parables and identify the inspiring quality that Jesus is trying to teach us.

The Parable of the Unmerciful Servant: That we must always forgive one another no matter

how many times nor how great the sin.

The Parable of The Persistent Widow: That you should never lose faith in what you do as you

will be rewarded in the end.

The Parable of the Rich Young man: The link does not work.

2. Provide an example of a real life situation or person who has demonstrated the above qualities

you have listed:

A real life situation I believe which demonstrates one of the above qualities is the Beaconsfield Miners.

The quality that it represents is the Parable of the Persistent Widow.

Brant Webb and Todd Russel remained in the mine for exactly 2 weeks only surviving with a muesli bar

and later food which was delivered. The two of them never gave up despite the amount of trouble they

went  through.

Another quality is of the Parable of the unmerciful servant. Something which represents this is Shane Warnes

wife Simone. Simone forgave Shane many times despite how much times he slept with other women

For shorts I will use these board shorts

1. Define the term “beatitude.”

The term “beatitude” were a sermont on the Mount. Jesus describes the inhabitants

of heaven, and how each person will be blessed. Their were 9 beatitudes in all. They

all are like Blessed are those who are…………., they will……. etc.

2. Explain the purpose of the Beatitudes.

The purpose of the beatitudes is similar to that of the Ten Commandments except

they are not laws. The Beatitudes is a guide for Christians so they can reach heaven

if the Ten Commandments are a bit hard.

3. Select one beatitude and describe how inspiring people of faith put into

practice the teachings of Jesus. Use an example to support your answer.

Beatitude No. 7 – Blessed are the peacemakers for they shall be called children

of God. A significant person is William Wilberforce. Willberforce worked hard for

the abolition of slaves in England. He is the reason slave trade was arradicated from

England and is therefore a child of God.

1. Which part of the exposition are you responsible for?

I am responsible for the structure of the exposition and making sure that

what the boys put on wordpress is structured like an exposition and I will

edit that. I am also writing a lot of information on the site.

2. What supplementary material are you using to back up your thesis point?

I am using a video of Kevin Rudds Apology, Scanned and highlited sections

of certain books of relevance. I will also find a poem on Aboriginals. 

1. What do you think the image above is about?

I think that this image is about who out of Andrew Johns and Mother Theresa

was more inspirational. Johns was inspirational on the field and when he got caught

with the ecstasy tablet he admitted while he could have said he found it etc.

Mother Theresa was inspirational with the missionary work she did in countries

and her amazing love. The difference between these two is the amount of good

work that they did. Joey was good on the field while Mother Theresa did work

for other people which is the main difference.

2. List five qualities of Andrew Johns?

• Amazing Kicking game.
• Electric pass.
• Drug Abuse.
• Leadership.
• Committment.

3. List 5 personal qualities of Mother Theresa.

• A warm heart.
• Considerate.
• Advocate for poor and helpless.
• Faithful.
• Gentle.

4. Discuss what you believe is the difference between inspiring people

and inspiring people of faith.

I believe that inspiring people are people who make achievements

either by sport, music, entertainment etc. Inspiring people of faith

to me are people who inspire others because of their faith e.g faith

in God. Inspiring people of faith are the ones who should be given

the most recognition because of the level of the work that they do is

more helpful to the community.

1. What is an Exposition?

An exposition is a text which is biased towards one side of an arguement.

The purpose of an exposition is to persuade a person to do something.

What is a thesis point?

A thesis point focuses on the centralized arguement of the proposition.

3. How is an exposition text type structured?

An exposition allways begins with an introduction which introduces the

idea. It then has two or more paragraphs of arguements which are

elaborated (explained/expanded). After the paragraphs of arguements

the reader then concludes in a paragraph saying concluding on the topic.

1. What are your frustrations?

Some frustrations I have are when some group members forget their work

repeatedly. When people in our group slack off and take photos instead while

some people are working hard

2. How will you deal with this?

Firstly I will talk to the person and if they still do it repeatedly I

will inform the teacher as I am the teacher liasion.

3. What do you need to achieve this lesson?

I need to find some vital information which backs the Aborigines in terms of

freedom and rights.

1. Are you satisfied with your groups progress so far?

I am not entirely satisfied with my groups progress as some members

do not allways do work or if they do work they do not bring it or save it.

Ramesh, Emil and I are the only ones who are working hard.

2. Who is not pulling their weight?

The members in our group who are not pulling their own weight

are Jacob and Elias. Oftenly they do work but if they do they

never save the work.
