WALT: write a plot summary based on the story we're currently reading and researching.
As you may or may not know, this term my reading group has been studying a book by David Hair, The Bone Tiki and I've completed the second task of the week. Here is the Unistructural part I've completed....
So far, I’m up to chapter 3. The story is about a young boy, Matiu Douglas, who lives with his single father, Tama Douglas. He’s 15 and goes to Napier Boys High School. His mother lives in taupo and his best friend is a boy named, Rikki. It all starts when his Nanny Wai-Aroha passes away and they have to pay their respects at her tangi but an unwelcome guest arrives and as Tama Douglas is a lawyer, he defend and welcomes Puarata, the unwelcome guest onto their land and marae. He tries to steal a carved, green tiki that belonged to Nanny Wai but it was gratefully passed on to Mat but nobody knows where or who has it. Mat tries to escape and make his way back to Taupo where his mother is, so nobody knows where he or the tiki can be found. He’s only hiding the tiki because he knows that Puarata was not welcomed and it did not belong to him and leaving was the right thing to do in his mind. Others saw it as stealing, but Mat, old Ranginui his Aunty Hine thought otherwise… ( That’s all I’m up to you at the moment.)
