                                                       On The Sidewalk Bleeding

The story The Sidewalk Bleeding by Ivan Walker.  was about a man named Andy who’s in a gang called royal. Laura andy's girlfriend, a random drunk guy on the alley,  Freddie and angela / couple and the grandma are the characters.

Part of the story when he got stabbed - 

 "We can't leave him here in the rain," Angela hesitated. 

"Can we?"

"If we get a cop, the Guardians will find out who," Freddie said. "I don't know, Angela. I don't know."

Angela hesitated a long time before answering. Then she said, "I want to go home, Freddie. My people will begin to worry."

"Yeah," Freddie said.  

The most memorable part of the story was when Freddie and Angela didn't help Andy even if he needed help and his life was endangered. This teaches me that sometimes people would sit around and do nothing even if they know that someone needs help and is endangered as long as they would not get sucked into the trouble. This part was the most memorable for me because it shows how society works.

The Great Depression - Questions

Why was Germany hit the hardest during the depression?  

I think Germany got hit the hardest during the great depression due to many reasons. The great depression during world war 1. Germany got hit the hardest because it got damaged by world war 1. Because of this almost no work during the depression, many people couldn't apply to and had no work, and because of this most of the people can't eat or buy stuff that they need. The result of this is that Germany needs to get loans to the U.S. because of this many people also got unemployed.

Explain what Germany had to agree to by signing the Treaty of Versailles? 

The Treaty of Versailles was drafted in the Paris peace conference in 1919, by the allied associated powers and by Germany in the halls of mirrors in the Palace of Versailles. They agreed to the Treaty of Versailles because Germany got damaged by world war 1, they allied with the U.S and borrowed money from it. They borrowed 200 million dollars from America. Germany. Because of the treaty, the population and the territory of Germany were reduced by 10 per cent. 

Why was NZ hit the hardest during the depression? 

The great depression of the early 1930s was the most shattering economic experience ever recorded in New Zealand. All exports fell by 45 per cent in two years, national income by 40 per cent in three. That means New Zealand is having a rough time because they have lost a lot of money for 2 years.  According to my research, New Zealand was devastated, Demand for their goods and service fell, as their prices did. The great depression lasted 5 years, 1930 to 1935.

The America And Indian treaty

From 1774 until about 1832, treaties between individual sovereign American Indian nations and the U.S were negotiated to establish the borders and prescribe conditions of the behaviour of the parties. The form of the agreements was nearly identical to the treaty of Paris. Ending the revolutionary war between U.S and Britain. 

The negotiation ended in a mutually signed pact that had the approval of the U.S congress and the non-tribal people needed a passport to go around the Indian state. 

From 1832 until 1871, the  American Indian nations were considered to be domestic, dependent tribes. Negotiated treaties between tribes and the U.S. had to be approved by the U.S. Congress.

In 1871, the House of Representatives ceased recognition of individual tribes within the U.S. as independent nations with whom the United States could contract by treaty, ending the nearly 100-year-old practise of treaty-making between the U.S. and American Indian tribes.
