Text Title:The seahorse and The reef  Author:Witi Ihimaera

Text Type: short story

This written text is about (brief summary and purpose of the work)

whanau and other members of their iwi who regularly go to a special place to collect kaimoana. The text talks about what everyone does when they collect the kaimoana, such as the mothers and the Aunties and the kuia chatting and the children going to a special pool where they look at the ocean life living there. In the pool the kids see lots of creatures, but the main one the text talks about is the starfish.

I really enjoyed this novel/short story/poem/non-fiction work/ article (please circle one) because:

They have an important setting which helps the reader comprehend the idea change.The whale focuses on culture change,and the seahorse and the reef focuses on environmental change.

In particular the plot or character or setting or theme or language features (choose one) interested me because:

The setting in ‘The seahorse and the reef’ was the reef,which has been ruined by pollution.

Overall this text made me re-evaluate/consider/ think/ feel (choose one and provide evidence for your comment)

Witi Ihimaera wrote the seahorse and the reef to highlight another Maori issue.Maori have always been protectors of the land, they look after Papa, and they look after the moana and everything in them. They never take too much, and always have held respect for the land.
