World War II (Homework)

I had alot of family that fought in World War II, there was so many that I couldn't name all of them. All of them are named on the Honour board as you walk into Whakarewarewa Village. The Wikiriwhi brothers Hirone, Matarehua and Te Tuahu are my great grandfathers. Sergeant Hirone Ceylon Wikiriwhi aka Poppy was born in Whakarewarewa, Rotorua in 1911. During World War II Poppy served overseas as an intelligence Sergeant in the Maori Battalion. Poppy's two brothers Matarehua and Te Tuahu also served in the Maori Battalion. Poppy passed away in 1980 or 1982. He is now burried in the Sala Street Cemetry, Rotorua in the Soldier part. :)

My Favourite Speech.

My favourite speech was by Jessie. Jessie's topic was on Rhythmic Gymnastics Shouldn't Be In The Olympics and I got what she was talking about. It was very interesting and it was funny.
You had an awesome speech Jess, it was very cool. -_- .  :) .

Fridays Proverb.

Maori:
Te anga karaka, te anga koura, kei kitea te Marae

Translate:
The shells of the karaka berry, and the shells of the crayfish, should not be seen from the Marae

Although this clearly has a hygienic undertone, it also refers to discipline. A tribe or war party who disregards organization and has no concern for where they leave their rubbish and gear reflects poor leadership and discipline, thus becoming easy prey for a more regimented force.

To me this means to keep the world clean and healthy.

Wednesdays Proverb.

Maori:
Whāia te iti kahurangi
Ki te tūohu koe, me he maunga teitei

Translate:
Pursue excellence – should you stumble, let it be to a lofty mountain.

This means to me that go hard and you will achieve your goals.

Thursdays Proverb.

Maori:
E koekoe te tūī, e ketekete te kākā, e kūkū te kererū.
 
Translate:
The tūī chatters, the parrot gabbles, the wood pigeon coos.
Its popular meaning ‘It takes all kinds of people...’
The tui is used as a symbol of oratory (speaking).

This means to me that when you have more than one person you can do anything.

Tuesday's Proverb.

Maori :
He aha te mea nui o te ao?
He tangata! He tangata! He tangata!



Translate :
What is the most important thing in the world? It is people! It is people! It is people!

To me this means that people are the most important thing in the world.
