Sitting on the Fence
Sitting on the Fence is the reading book that my group and I are reading, it is about a boy named Martin and the story is about what happened in 1981(the Springbok tour) and about Martin fighting for he believes is the right thing to do, which is to stop the tour.
what I thought reading this story was "why did they try to stop the tour?" well I looked that up that question and and it came up with this, The conflict within New Zealand over sporting contacts with apartheid South Africa reached a peak in the protests against the 1981 Springbok rugby tour of New Zealand.
Because it was three days after police had used batons against protesters in Molesworth Street, Wellington, feelings ran high.
I don't know if that tells you what you need to know, but I hope you liked my blog post an thank you for reading!
