The Dark horse
The dark horse
Did i enjoy this movie: Yes, i did
Favourite character: Mana
Least favourite: Mutt
I enjoyed this movie because it was based on a true story and was interesting how a single person could change multiple peoples lifes.
I prefferably enjoyed Mana's character the most because he just wanted to join others and his dad was part of a gang so he had a really rough life.
The reason why i disliked Mutt was because he was a douchebag

The matses tribe
Along the Javari river in the Amazon forest, the Matses tribe lived. These people, they used traditional, small-scale (slash and burn) approach to farming. Through discrimination and outside influences, the young Matses felt ashamed by their culture. Big cities lure younger Matses away from their traditional lifestyle and into urbanised poverty and exploitation.

Passion project
On the 29/11/2018 we completed our pizza, this pizza had been shared out with a few others and received some ratings, Mr Stock had rated us an 8/10. Next time we should have trusted everyone in the group to participate, instead of relying on certain people. Most the ingredients we had trouble getting, but this was a success. We thank all the teachers who helped us through this, especially Mrs Taylor, for lending us cheese and letting us use her room. This project could've required a little more co-operation and teamwork but it was a success.
