If I was Nelson Mandela boy I would throw up. I can't believe he even survived with that damp straw ground. 18 years. That is outrageous. I don't even know what is life in prison. Man I have got a lot to say about this. My man IDK No. 7 is here to talk to everyone. Take it away.
Yes I agree, it is outrageous to live in prison in a cell with a straw cell. Nelson was mad at a rule that went for many years: Black and white people(I'm not trying to be racist or anything) had different laws. Nelson thought this was not fair for most blacks so he decided to do something about it. But of course according to the unfair govenors, yes that landed him in prison.
So is that so? Okay then how did he become president?
He secretly joined a group called the South African Communist Party(known as the SACP) and after the negotiation he got the election for president. Sadly, he passed away a few years ago.
Aw man. He sounds like a very good man. I hope people will follow his footsteps. Hey I might be ab-
*while the narrator talks about being president of South Africa* Aw man. There he goes again.
Comment if you want me to make another Nelson Mandela thing.
Kia ora Alex, this is Kieryn from the Summer Learning Journey.
ReplyDeleteWell done for participating in the Summer Learning Journey activities! You have created an excellent blog post here about Nelson Mandela and how you would feel if you were in his situation at the Robben Island prison.
I agree with you when you state that you don’t know how he survived living in the concrete cell with just a damp, straw mat. I think I would go insane spending 18 years in such a small space, being forced to do hard, intensive labor work everyday.
Do you think you would be able to cope if you were in his situation?
The first line of you blog post, ‘If I was Nelson Mandela, boy I would throw up’ is a very strong sentence to begin with as it shows us all how sick it makes you feel to see the conditions that he was kept in!
Nelson Mandela is such an inspiration to so many people, so it is such a shame to learn about all of the horrors he had to endure.
Is Nelson Mandela an inspiration to you? Why/why not?

Hi My name is Tuari and I go to Marshland school. I really like the photo you put in the first slide and how some of them are black and white.
ReplyDeleteNext time you should put an introduction in and say who you are interviewing.
This reminds me of the Maori and pakeha disagreement.
