John Lennon's message in the song "give peace a chance" was that war doesn't solve all problems but if you "give peace a chance" it may be a better solution to solve all of the problems in the war. The song says that the most popular subjects are all the gossip or debatable topics and opinions. The way John Lennon sees it, there is no need for that sort of thing in the world, people shouldn't try not to argue and debate.
This term we have been learning about colour, texture and favours from the dishes that we have previously made from this term. Colour, texture and flavour is important in our dishes because the colour gives peoples attention to the dish, it makes it want the person to try it. The texture and flavour in dishes attracts people after they have ate the dish because it could want them to come to back to have it again or it may not.

After we did all that we had we had to create a blog post to finish and complete this assessment, in the blog post we had to answer questions that was given about the topic.

What is Parihaka and what happened there?
About 1600 troops invaded the western Taranaki settlement of Parihaka, which had come to symbolise peaceful resistance to the property of Maori land. Parihaka was a vacant area that was owned by the Maori settlement before they were taken over by the European settlers. The place was a symbol of peace because they resisted the colonisation.

Colour, texture and flavour is important in food because you look at the food with your eyes and if the food doesn't look attractive you wont want to eat it. Texture and flavour are important because if there was no flavour and texture then the food will be plain and disgusting and no one would want to et it again.
