2 Timothy 4: 6-8

Ko te 21 Ratu o te Hongongoi tenei ra

This morning scripture from 2 Timothy 4:6-8 was about how we can live our lives.

This scripture was written during the time Paul was in jail. Paul was very lonely, he missed Timothy, and all his friends. Paul was grateful that he had lived a full life - he thought this life was about to end. Indications are that he was strong in faith.

I thank God for my Grandma who is eighty-three. She has successively raised my father and who is still looking after my cousins and I sometimes throughout our childhood.

The Best Advertisement In 2014: Critique

The Best Advertisement: Critique

The Writer of this Advertisement gave a special message to the audience through this ad. The message behind this advertisement was to encourage people to give back to the less fortunate people, animal and creations of the community and all around the world. Through out the advertisement there subtitles translating the words of the narrator's so we can understand the message of the ad is giving but even though without the subtitles we could still figure out the message and carry that message on to the world.

This Award winning advertisement has mentioned Thai life insurance and gives away messages that famous people would use to help the world with problems it has.

There are six actors including a dog and four adults that help carry the message in the advertisement.  In the Ad the Main character is giving away all he has. When he does his good deeds there are people watching him and disagreeing about what he has done to help the creations of God grow. Building up to the end of the ad he is still continuing his good deeds and makes the people who disagreed agree with him when they saw the changes of what was once  weak made strong. The background music brings the whole  ad together in one and made you feel the pain and happiness of the actors.

Many emotions come upon you when you watch this touching advertisement. Feelings of happiness and sadness take over you. The words and actions of the actors tell the story that makes you feel what you feel when watching this ad. Relating to this video is very easy. Knowing the world is actually is like this makes you even more sorry for the actors even though this is just an advertisement. 
Facts used in this ad makes you more engaged to the message of what the advertisement is giving. The ad uses facts that relates to the ‘Real World’.

The writers and directors of the advertisement are making the audience see that there is people who are less fortunate than us, and that this man is giving away all he has but it makes him we should give back to make the world a better place….e.g. ‘He doesn't get anything for doing what he those everyday, He gets nothing, He won’t be richer, He won’t appear on TV......’

This advertisement did not use any research but used the ‘Truth’. The truth about what is going on around the world. The truth about what you could do to help people. The truth about the world itself.

Cadbury Creme Eggs

The writer very cleverly uses the phrase ‘Don’t get caught’ in the beginning of advertisement and repeats the same phrase throughout the advertisement and ends the advertisement to maintain the audience's attention.   


The author uses This little angel... ‘ to introduce this girl as an innocent child.

The writer says 'People can’t resists the double coated creamy egg chocolate...' because the fact it has double coated chocolate that makes the audience more engaged to their product.

The advertisement gives a sense of urgency to buy the product because the advertisement says that the chocolate is irresistible.
