#2 Even though Papua New Guinea is located in the same region as Australia and New Zealand, why is it that Australia and New Zealand became technologically advanced and wealthy?

 I chose question number two and has found two reasons on why Papua New Guinea has less technology advance and wealth.

First reason is that Australian and New Zealand people are actually from England. The people there are English so this means their European. The British people traveled to Australia and New Zealand to trade for the whale's oil and skin. So, the government of England brought some goods to support them to have a better life. But, for the New Guinean they didn't have anyone to support them. They are actually Asian. Since they didn't travel out of their country they were stuck in New Guinea so, they had little knowledge about the outside world and the new technology. They were poor in their technology and poor in knowledge about the outside world they were behind a lot of information about the world. They needed to catch up and now the are still struggling.

My second reason is that the people in New Guinea are spending most of their time finding food and finding new ways to improve their life that they didn't have a good food supply.  Also they have only a few domesticated animals in their field and not as much crop. In the mornings the men has to go hunting with a bow and arrow while the women catches insects for protein and gather plants for vitamins. In Australia and New Zealand they domesticate a lot more animals such as cows, pigs, dogs, goats, ducks and chickens. They are able to grow more crops and import it to other countries and then earn some money which could help to buy more food to grow or some savings.

These are the two reasons on why Papua New Guinea has less technology advance and wealth than Australians and New Zealand people.

Today was a great day for skipping around in the muddy pond, so I went out with a few of my friends Cheyenne, Li-yen and Nadia. We were just enjoying our self skipping in and out and everywhere else in the mud until I heard some noises it kind of sounded like children talking and screaming you know like being really excited. So I called my friends to stop skipping around and asked them if they heard some children talking, Li-yen said" Yea, I do hear some children like yesterday some other children came too". I agreed that it did sound a bit like the children from yesterday,then I turned around and saw my friends skipping around in excitement. I asked "What are you guys all excited about"?

Before they could answer one of the teachers came to the mud and got the students attention. He was really loud so we couldn't hear our self talk or even think, so we waited for a while and then he stopped talking. He grabbed one student and told him to follow the guide to plant the mangrove trees. The guide said to walk a bit fast on the mud or else you would sink into the mud and if you did then don't panic because help would come, but if you think you could get out by yourself then you could. So the kind ran but got stuck all the students started to laugh because he couldn't get out even me and my friends it was hilarious because he sank even more, then he got tired of stand and he sat down. Finally after maybe six students came back from planting the mangrove trees he was free.

Suddenly there was a student who noticed me and my friends just skipping around like ordinary mud skippers and reached down and tried to catch me. She couldn't catch me, but then adventuly she caught me. She showed me to some of her friends and I was pretty scared because I have never seen a human so close up. then one all of her friends reached down to catch my friends Li-yen, Cheyenne and Nadia. Nadia was really fast because she won a lot of medals in a skipping contest but she got caught. They called us cute and all the stuff you would say to a cute little puppy you know. We tried to escape their hands we couldn't. Then they ran to their teacher to show them, but the teachers felt sorry for us so they told them to put us back to where they found us. I thanked the teacher who saved us from the students horrid hand that smelled so bad and was really warm.

Well the day was almost over for the students and almost over us the mud skippers, so when all the students left the mangrove planting area we all stayed out in the warm sun bathing. I felt said for the students because I wouldn't see them again but then there was another class coming so we got to bed and shall be ready for the next class, but one thing I hope was that we wouldn't be picked up again or else we'll have to be saved by the teachers again well any ways see you tomorrow good night.
