WW1 Frank WIKI

This is Frank WIKI an army soldier who became a private. Today I have been researching about Frank Wiki. I decided to do a Thing link. He passed away one year before World War 1 ended at the age of 23 on June the 3rd. I decided to do this person because he was a great man in the war. He was also a World War 1 Private in the New Zealand Pioneer Battalion. I hope you enjoy reading my information for Frank.

Maui

Kia Ora. I'm Amethyst and for witting I've learnt about Maui the mythical hero. We had to do a introduction,Three reasons and a conclusion for the end. Please read and enjoy.



TITLE: Maui - A Great Mythical Hero.

Name:Amethyst
Introduction: I believe that Maui is a great mythical hero.
Reason 1:
Firstly, I think that Maui’s a great mythical hero because he was strong enough to pull down the sun so we could have more daylight.
Reason 2:
My next reason is that he was brave enough to take a little bit of fire from the underground to keep us warm.
Reason 3:
My final reason is that he was a great leader to his 4 brothers, but his brothers didn't appreciate his work, because they always argued with him.
Conclusion:I honestly  believe that Maui’s a great mythical hero because he was strong enough to pull down the sun, he was brave enough to take fire from the underground and lastly he was a great leader to his 4 brothers even though his brothers didn’t agree.

Minotaur

Kia ora. We have been learning about the Minotaurs and the kings.King Minos and king of Atheans. We had to pretend that were the king of Atheans and we had to send a letter to king Minos because he gave the minotaur a treat and that treat was youths/little boys. Here is my little note I did for king Minos I hope you like it.

Dear King Minos,
I am writing to you about the fate of the nine doomed youths.  I plead for their release on the grounds that:

Firstly what did they do to make you kill the poor young youths? It wasn’t them who killed your son.

My second reason is if you were the youths how would you feel if you got eaten/ripped apart from a wild beast.

My last reason is that if you keep killing you know that it won’t bring back your son and I think your son’s thinking “Stop killing.”  So please stop killing the youths

I think you might agree to let them free from your pet beast the minotaur and that no one can be eaten again.
Yours faithfully,

King of Athens
