In English we have been reading a poem called a Sad Joke on a Marae by Apirana Taylor. The poem is about a man who growing up didn’t know much about his culture and had a tough childhood. The only maori he knew was tihei mauriora.
Here’s a link to the poem - https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Gq2pbwe5D2ZvsXSZRPHWgAHgirWFZC0R/view
Here's is my personal response drawing I made. I drew a man in jail because in the poem it mentioned that jail was his home.
Great response, Chloe. I really like your drawing, you have captured the 'sad' mood of the poem.
