Our Black Princess Lost

February 21, 2008

She turned fourteen only today
And
Impressive as she is
On a Whiteman’s catwalk
We have lost our child
Our only child
Somewhere she walks with them fella’s
Them real big fella’s
In New York
Somewhere we have lost a child to the new world
To
Money and power
To drugs
To stardom for fifteen minutes
Whilst her culture dies

 This is a very sad poem because its talking about how he aboriginal culture was destroyed and how the aboriginal peoples relationship to each other and the land was torn apart. It is talking about the ordeals they went through and the hurdels they had to face.

Even the heading is upsetting because its talking about them losing just about everything.

Journal Entry 7 – The Values of Jesus

February 20, 2008

1. Define the term ‘beatitude’.

Any of the declarations of blessedness pronounced by Jesus in the Sermon on the Mount.

Supreme blessedness.

2. Explain the purpose of the beatitudes.

To help guide people in there life. And to help distinguish what is right from wrong.

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.

‘Happy the peacemakers:

they shall be sons of God.”

What i think that this beatitude is trying to say is that you should not fight and you should try to make peace in this world because everything is a blessing. Even though we may take it for granted.

Andrew Johns vs. Mother Theresa


Journal Entry 6 – Andrew John’s Vs Mother Theresa

February 17, 2008

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

I think that Mother Theresa has been doing her work for decades unnoticed and didnt really want to be noticed where as Andrew Johns sort of wants to be noticed for the wrong things.

2. List FIVE personal qualities of Andrew Johns.

-Leader

-Role Model

-Drugs

-Bad Behavior

-Addict

3. List FIVE personal qualities of Mother Theresa.

-Helpful

-Kind

-Caring

-Supportive

-Helping hand

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

To me inspiring people of faith are peop0le that preach the word of the Lord more. Where as inspiring people dont do it as much and just help people without that religious background.  Well thats my view of them.
