 Perspective for -  

The Beatles tour in NZ 1964 was for the youth of New Zealand. 
This was because when the Beatles arrived in New Zealand at
Wellington Airport on 21 June 1964, they were cheered on by crowds
of rapturous youths. For devotees of popular music, in the mid-1960s
the four Liverpudlians were simply the greatest musicians in their general
anywhere in the world. Of course, looking back at the images of throngs
of hysterical girls with faces pressed hard against wire fences, screaming
themselves hoarse as they caught a glimpse of their musical idols, it all
seems a bit ridiculous, a bit excessive.


Perspective against - 
The Beatles tour was bad for older generations because when the elderly and
widowed ratepayers were having difficulty in finding their rates, the letter
said the utmost discretion should be shown in the holding of a civil reception ...
Mr Robinson said the reception would cost £60. The decision to extend a
mayoral welcome had been made by himself. “Last week,he said,
“there was a reception for the Vienna Boys' Choir. Next week there will be one
for Arthur Rubinstein. We cannot set ourselves up as judges of who should
get a reception and who should not.... Mr T. H. Pearce said he was wondering
what council policy was on such matters. “Last evening,he said, I welcomed
home a team of footballers. There were all fine young men, but there was no
civic or mayoral reception for them. If we are going to pander to the hysteria,
antics, adulation, rioting, screaming, and roaring and all the things these
bewigged musicians engender, then I think we should make a point of honouring
any youths with a sporting background who are at least endeavouring
to act in the best traditions of the young men of this nation.

Narrative Openings

 A burning storm, a raging storm of heat claimed the house as it's territory, as it's home. The man stood their tears flowing down his face knowing he couldn't save them.


She sat their waiting for it to come, waiting for something bad to happen something to jump at her, but all she got was a text. The weight of her phone surprised her even though she has had it for year. But what shocked her was the text itself saying"See you soon".

The Long grass and the mist made it feel like a horror film, it felt like the final scene. Where the Antagonist was about to go away forever, but the two girls didn't think so, they thought it might've just began.When their light went out

She picked up the cold peas from the frozen vegetable section, she felt tremble away the ice between the peas, she also felt a sudden sense of something happening. She felt someone staring, but it went away.
Then she felt a cold, leather glove on her shoulder.

Everybody was stressed or nervous, studying was boring for most people, you could say that when people say they want to become a teacher they always replied with "Wait you want to go back to school?"
Some will say yeah but most will say no, except for this one.

It's in the house, in the kitchen downstairs.

 "The buildings were tall"

The buildings were menacing in height with their neon lights making fit in with the rest.

"Sarah was really upset"

Sarah was lying down, emotions rolling in, getting the news of what happened and knowing she might never see them again. She didn't even notice the tears rolling down her face.

"She was so happy to see him"

She saw him and ran to him, with the expression you have on your 1st birthday.

"The lake was beautiful"

 The lake stood while the it reflected it's lights, making good seem the wrong word for it, beautiful seemed to fit.

"It was stunning"

It was something angels would be jealous, something that I could steer at for ages not caring how odd I look doing it.
