Papa New Guinea, New Zealand And Australia

Why is New Zealand and Australia wealthier and more technologically advanced then Papa New Guinea? Even though Papa New Guinea is located in the same region as N.Z. and Australia, Papa New Guineans are planters and hunters. In order to survive they have to work really hard on hunting and gathering so that they can survive. They also live in a whole different environment than N.Z. and Australia.

N.Z. and Australia had people coming in from Europe. When those people came in they would bring some of their everyday supplies and they would start a whole new life there. At that time Europe was already wealthy and  had discovered technology. Most of the people in Europe had at least one type of object that included tech. Then trade came in. Sometimes the Kiwis and Australians  would trade some of their everyday life supplies for something that included tech.

Papa New Guineans didn't have people coming in to their country because they lived in the jungle. Also they had a less healthy lifestyle because they lived in the jungle and there are not many animals. Also they could be easily injured because their shelters would be made of bamboo and leaves. Animals could easily come and attack if they picked a wrong place to live. This is why Kiwis and Australians are wealthier and more technologically advanced.

Some reasons why New Zealand and Australia are wealthier than Papa New Guinea

NZ and Australia are richer and more wealthy because they live in a whole different community. They have animals that help them by pulling things and sometimes they can be transportation. Also they have way more plants which helps them grow more food and they have tech and buildings because in the olden days they would have british prisoners and so they would stay there and basically live their life there. They also have much smarter wealthier people. That is why they have buildings and tech. There are more non-white people and a long time ago they were much less wealthy people and they learned how to survive with sticks and stuff, so they didn't want to live differently so they didn't bother making buildings and tech. Also Papa New Guinea is in the jungles and there aren't many people there so it would be hard for them to build lots of buildings and make things because for one the people don't know how to make buildings and two they live in a whole different place. This is why Papa New Guinea is much less wealthier than NZ and Australia.

Mudskipper Story

I had just finished breakfast and walked into my mom and dad's room. I had a feeling it was a very special day but i didn't know why. I have a sister in my family, an older one. Shes really annoying. So when she woke up we went outside to play. She made me. We played soccer until we got really tired. While we were playing we heard sounds that sounded like elephant foot steps.As soon as we were going to check it out, our worst enemy came. The humans. As soon as we saw them my sister and I quickly climbed back into our house, got in our bedrooms and locked the doors. This was a very scary moment.

What were they doing asked my friend johnny. We looked closely  and saw that they were planting mangroves. There was a huge line of people. They were saying " gee, this looks really fun but I hope we wont fall and get MUD SKIPPERS in our boots". As soon I heard that word I told  myself that I had to get in at least one of their boots. Squish squish one of them had already gone. I tried to get in one of their boots but he was just too fast. Luckily he fell down and yes! I got in his boot. It was so cool having not to walk but I was still moving. It was like I was flying to another country!

Well my time has come so I hopped out of his boot. It took a while for the line to go away but at least I met new friends. I met new friends because my house was right beside them and there was no way I could get there without dying. I had to wonder around my village and find and play with friends so that it would waste my time and I didn't have to stay in one place doing nothing for the whole day. Sometimes bad things can lead to a really happy moment and it can help you by entertaining you and help you live safer.
