Why New Guineans are not Wealthier than New Zealand and Australia

There are two reasons why I think New Guinea is not wealthier and technologically advanced than Australia and New Zealand. I chose time and energy, the amount of food the countries have, and where they're from.

First, I chose time and energy because the people are mostly use their time and energy to feed themselves. The men would hunt down animals and the women would gather the plants such as a taro root which has less protein than wheat. Sometimes they would have to eat spiders since the people didn't have a stable food supply. The New Guinean people domesticate only pigs which only gives the people meat. But in Australia and New Zealand, the people domesticate cows, sheep, goats for different reasons. They might use it for clothing, milk, and the meat.

Second, I chose the amount of food the countries have because the New Guineans are so focused in surviving not trying to make new things such as metal tools. New Guineans doesn't have a stable food supply but New Zealand and Australia does have a stable food supply. Australia and New Zealand have a larger area so they can easily find food. But for the New Guineans, they have a smaller area. New Guinea has a 462,840 sq. km of land, almost the size of California. Australia has a 7.69 million square kilometres of the land. Unfortunately, New Zealand has a land area of 268,000 square kilometers, less than New Guinea.

Finally, I chose where the people are from because New Guineans are Asian, but New Zealand and Australians are Europeans. That's why the flags of New Zealand and Australians has the Great Britain flag. In New Zealand, there was lot's of trading going on from Europe and North America. Europeans were the ones that had the most cargo so they got most of the cargo.The people traded for metal tools, artifacts, food, etc. Back in the old times, Europeans were a huge strong army, but the Asians were not wealthier than the Europeans. The Asians didn't have a stable food supply, but the Europeans were able not starve. As time went by, Asians are starting to have a stable food supply and a good life.

So these are my reasons why I think that New Guineans are not wealthier than New Zealand and Australia. As I said before, New Guineans are not wealthier than New Zealand and Australia because they don't have a stable food supply, the place they are from, and the people are too focused on survival.

The Marvelous Adventure of Tim the Mud Skipper

Once upon a time,  there was a mud skipper named Tim, which is me.  I am an anxious mud skipper who has thanatophobia. I live in a muddy mangrove planting area along with my friend, Matty, a fiddler crab who would sort out my problems. Matty and I have been friends for 3 years, but unfortunately, that friendship was crushed by the humans.

Until one day, 6A ISKL students came along to plant a mangrove seed. Matty and I were hiding beside a mangrove tree and discussing about this issue. My heart was pounding heavily and I was hesitating. I was afraid of the humans. I always had nightmares of being squashed by humans. Matty gave a pat on my back and said "It will be alright. If you stay here, the humans won't even spot us!"In a blink of an eye, Matty was blown up to tiny pieces by a sixth grader that smashed him. I was totally freaked out. I couldn't take it anymore. Later on, I put Matty inside a pond and said my farewells. I was totally shocked that I lost my best friend.

After that unfortunate event, I came out of the small pond and went to rescue the fiddler crabs and the other mudskippers from chaos. I could see a shadow above his head. There is was, a bottom that was about to squish me. "Atomic bottom people! Run away! You are about to get squished!" I shouted. I evacuated the fiddler crabs and the other mudskippers into a bunch of mangrove trees. Thousands of fiddler crabs and mudskippers were crushed into little pieces. I went to save some more fiddler crabs and mudskippers that were on the muddy battle field. I could hear a discussion going on inside a black boot. The mudskippers and fiddler crabs were safe from the impact! I went out and searched for tiny insects for my lunch. "Mmmm. Tasty!" I said as I gobbled up the cricket that was found near a mangrove tree.

Next, I confidently was face to face against the humans. I now wasn't afraid of the humans since they were helping the environment and saving my home. "Look guys! There's a mudskipper! It's so cute!" a female sixth grade student said. "Let's crush it into smithereens!" the boys were chanting. I was running as fast as I could. There was a chill below my spine. I felt doom coming by. "Squish" a boy stepped on me with his boots. I was now in heaven like the others. Silence was in the air. The whole town made a grave for me for being a heroe of the town. Mudskippers are fish that could actually walk! This unique fish can actually can climb trees! To defend themselves, they dig through mud, making a hole to be safe from predators such as us, humans, frogs, reptiles, and birds. In China, they make a soup out of mudskippers!
Here's me, Tim the mudskipper!
