Run For the Trees

When Ben was at school he did his speech and he stuffed up and everybody in his class was looking at him Which made Ben Feel extremely uncomfortable. It also upset him because his class mates would look at him with that evil stair. Uncle Rick`s lives with all his possession in the wronging places(Like the brush and shovel in the dinning room). Uncle Rick things someone when into his Computer and it is kind of believable because some of his stuff on the computer had been moved. Ben`s mum wanted to go to Fiji with some one but Ben does not want her to go there because he is scared she will die or get lost in the bush. Uncle Rick`s Pigeons were hung from the bird house. My feelings about that are that someone could be after him and trying to get something from him.

Order

I think that Ben`s Mum left because Ben`s Dad could not handle Ben and how he had to be tort, I also think that Ben`s Dad stayed in london and keep on fishing and making money. I think that ben feels like something is missing and he can`t find it. Ben thinks that he ruined his Mothers life because if he was not born his Mum would of had her law dirge by now and she would of had a better life. Ben is different to his mum because his hair is very dark and his skin is tanned but his mums hair is blond and her skin is white. I think the two men were the ones who when through Uncle Rick`s computer for information and the ones that killed his Pigeons to warn him to stop annoying someone he sudden. Ben was scared that when he was searching the house he wold find his Uncle Rick in the bath room dead or hanging like the pigeons.

Alternatives

Uncle Rick left Ben a tape recorder in the bird house which tolled him to get $150 out of the top of the bird house and go picton. Ben knew Uncle Rick`s movements by the hot dripping tap, the fresh sowp writing on the mirror of the bath room window. I think the what ifs means: What if I get lost or what if I get kidnapped. I think Uncle Rick had to because if he didn`t the two people in the drive way might do something to him, and I don`t think it is against the law to leave a teenager at home by them self but it is know a good idea. I don`t think Ben asked the neighboars because they would of thought something weird was going on and rang Ben`s Mother. Ben Made picture frames out of Mc Donald's toys cut up and stuck on the frames and then spray painted different colours.

Attitudes

When Ben was a little boy he would tell people that his dad is on a business trip, Ben did this because if he did not then people would feel sorry for them. Ben`s Mother would usually insist ben eats carrots `n` dip and herbal teas, so that he can grow in to a healthy and strong man. On the Ferry Ben when to buy a mince pie, a custard square and a can of cola. Ben thought that he heard that giggling from the other day on Uncle Rick`s drive way. The Two men who were walk down Uncle Rick`s drive way were on the ferry and that made ben Sick because he was wondering why the hell they were on the ferry. When Ben ran to the toilet to be sick he left his bag at the seat he was sitting at and his walkman fell out of his pocket and smashed into pieces. Ben`s Mother promise to wear some old ear rings that Ben had stuck plastic blow flies to.

Labels

The adults treated Ben like a beggar because he would not stop begging to return the fake blood. Ange helped Ben on the ferry by telling him to go to the lost and found desk, Ange also helped Ben at Picton by buying the bus tickets to Nelson, I think Ange is doing all this because she is running away from something. I think Ange got all of her money from going around the country working at different places. I think that Ben was worried that the Owl and the Weasel were speccing to the Policeman because the Policeman might be looking for ben because the adults were looking at him like they knew Ben was by him self, and I think ben thinks police symbolize means that the police are looking for him.

Stereotypes

It tolled me that she is a 15 year old girl who thinks she can do anything but she knows she can`t. A camper van hit a mob of sheep and they and guts when everywhere and they had to wait till it was all cleaned up. Ben said he inherited his dads smelly arm pits, Ange said she inherited her dads big mouth, Ben`s mum and Ange`s Dad are both lawyers. Rimu trees are a native tree to New Zealand and take 100 years to grow Bens mother thinks logging is like plucking eye browns only take the ones you need. Ange didn`t want to be alone so she went with ben and it would be much safer.

Powerlessness

When Ben realises that Uncle Rick`s tape was ruined he became extremely angry and started bashing the tape and his head agents the wall in rage, because some jelly got in the tape`s insides. Ben didn`t want to hitchhike because his Mother said he is never aloud to because someone could hurt him or something, he was also scared if his mum found out she would Kill him. The man in the ute was feeling Ange so Ben faked a 2 year old tantrum and he said he needed to go Poo - poo and scared the man into letting them out of the ute. Ben pictures Hell as the school Ben`s Mother sent him to with the special needs people in the south Island, Ben hated the school because he liked his normal school at his town. Lyell was a rich town mostly because of the gold rush, but when the gold ran out there would of been nothing to support the town.

Assumptions

The protester were stopping the loggers from logging so that the loggers get no pay or income. Archie thought the townys from wellington were controlling the logging, and he thinks that the loggers should control the logging. Ben means that Uncle Rick is a non violent person. The difference between town people and country people is that town people don`t like getting dirty but country people don`t care that much.

Consequences

I think Ange gets away with being impulsive because she is sure of her self and is a very confident person. When Ange saw the polices cars she thought that her dad knew she was gone and had sent the polices after her to get her. When Ben was running away from the dairy and he got into the paddock, Ben fell over and he felt a sharp sting on his hand and a wasp flew away and he remembered that the code was wasps nest. The old lady in the dairy said to ben “those protesters are going to get it tomorrow ”,and then covered her mouth like she said something important. Ange overhear to people in a shed talking about planting a bomb in a helicopter which had some protesters in it.

Challenges

A stalactites are rod type thing which hangings from the roof of a cave and it is made of water. This shows us how their relationship has got better than at the start when Ange did not no about his dyslectic. I think that the protester use code names because if someone took the walky - talkys they could ask them there code name to know if it was them or not. I think code red means that some think really bad is going to happen like the bomb on the helicopter, I also think that Uncle Rick is going to try and stop it.

Pressure

The person who grabbed Ben was Jenny one of the protester Jenny grabbed Ben because she needed him to find Uncle Rick and because Jenny was a emergence plan 2. The police when into the forest camp because owl and the weasel told the police that the protester had planted the bomb on the helicopter so that the protester would get framed, to refer someone or something as a pawn you are saying that they are worthless and disposable like in chess. Jenny financed her money from the nugget to pay off her nursing school lone.

Responsibility Sid got Ben into Waimatao by his tractor. Jenny was referring to the trailer on the back of the tractor because Ben hid in it like a Trojan Horse. The building Uncle Rick was hiding in is an old storage building for when they where building Waimatao. When Ben saw Uncle Rick he fleet really happy and wanted to cry because of that. ?

Control

Ben had to go through motion sensors, sound sensors, video cameras and electric fences with barb wire spread across the top of the fences. Jenny found out that Ange was arrested with the rest of the protester and was picked up by a unknown woman. I think all jenny`s money came from the gold nugget she found when she was going to nursing school.

Courage

The Taxi cost $30 for Ben to get home, and he hid the disk in the cat feeder at the bottom. the to men got into the house because Ben for got to lock the door. The Owl tried to bribe Ben with a nice hot dinner. Ben got out of the handcuffs by use a hack saw and snapped the chain.

Ownership

The code Ben had to use was artemis, it means the goddess of the protection of children, the original meaning for Ben was if an adult didn`t say it he would not get in the car. Ben went behind the shed and slid between a brick wall and scrub, it was also hard because of the wild blackberry cutting and poking him with thorns. Ben hurt his arm by being pushed into a short wall by the wind.

Acceptance

Ange stayed at the hospital with ben and was wearing PJs because she stayed the night. He stood up in court and resigned, this saved the trees by stopping the logging. Ange got out of jail because her step mother came and got her. Con baring KFC to the hospital for ben, Uncle Ricks favourite phrase is “Jeremy Trainor has resigned “,
