Good morning year 11‚ thank you for turning up to what will be an engaging analysis of the complexity of conflict in literature. If you ponder upon it‚ how many of us have experienced some form of conflict in our lives? No doubt all of you. But year 11‚ it is the way in which we handle this conflict that moulds us into the individuals we are today.

Easter Island I was born today. My bones quarried at Rano Raraku near the northeast end of my homeland‚ Easter Island. My makers were small‚ with deep tawny skin that gleamed with moisture under the sun as they carved the gentle curves of my body.

Mothers and Fathers tell and read these stories to their children all of the time just like their mothers and fathers and their mothers and fathers. These are stories‚ told each year giving a child hopes and dreams. Is it a lie? I do not think so‚ because when a child comes to an age and figures out there is only a story of a Santa Claus‚ a Saint Nick‚ the Easter Bunny or the Tooth Fairy‚ it is time for them to understand

I didn’t tell my friends at school‚ my cousins‚ or even my mom that I knew the truth. I already knew about the Easter Bunny and the Tooth Fairy. I knew that if you held your face a certain way for long enough‚ it wouldn’t stay that way‚ and that you wouldn‘t go blind from sitting to close to the television.

before the Easter Uprising started to realize that the public would show their support against the British. The leaders of this rebellion came together to fight for what they believed in. The independence of the Irish was very important and showed throughout their struggle how hard it was to achieve their goal. The Uprising was supported by a group of nationalists that wanted independence for Ireland. "Around 1‚250 people started the rebellion" (Ireland). The instigator of the Easter Uprising was

It has four stanzas‚ two containing sixteen lines and two containing twenty-four lines‚ thus commemorating the date of the Easter rising (24th April 1916). I also admired Yeats for having the humility to admit that he
