ReplyDeleteHi, Karen! I am Ian. There are answers. I tried to do well.
ReplyDelete1. Why did Turi leave his island homeland of Hawaiki?
I think Turi had enemies, and the enemies planed to revenge themselves on him. It was unavoidable for Turi to leave his homeland because he killed the son of the enemy called Uenuku for a revenge for his son who was killed by Uenuku. Finally, he got a canoe from Toto, his father in law, and sought new land for him.
2. Identify five examples of English usage in the following passage which are no longer common or standard in English today
I found the five examples like anchor'd, w[h]ere, [are?], call'd, oyle.
3. With reference to the essay ‘Reading the Aotea Waka Saga’ and any other relevant sources answer the following question: Where is Hawaiki?
I think Hawaiki is located beyond the sea, The ancestors of Maori tribes lived in there and came to New Zealand. We do not know where is Hawaiki exactly, but we can suppose that where is Hawaiki through Turi and Kupe’s story.
Hi Ian, this is great work. Re Q3, where is the location of Hawaiki, I like your answer about how you don't know exactly where it is. Hawaiki is a mythical land and part of a story told by oral tradition (that is, it's not written down anywhere). In the reader, you can see that possible locations for it are all symbolic - "the land before birth" (East, where the sun rises) or the "the land of the dead" (West, where the sun sets).
DeleteGreat answers though! I look forward to hearing what you have to say this week. Please pick 2 or 3 questions and post your answers as a new blog post.
Hi. I'm Martin. This is my answers.
ReplyDelete1. Why did Turi leave his island homeland of Hawaiki?
Uenuku eat Potikiroroa,near relation of Turi so, Turi kill Hawepotiki who is son of Uenuku. Turi cannot help but escape from Uenuku's revenge.
2. Identify five examples of English usage in the following passage which are no longer common or standard in English today: (refer to Critical Reader for passage)
[DISCOVERY]
line no.4 co[n]sists
[ITS ANIMALS]
line no.5 Go and come is not written together.
[ENCOUNTERS & GUNS]
line no.1 Pronoun which is we is plural.
[BOAT BUILDING]
line no.2 the[y] 'The' can't subjective.
[BOAT BUILDING]
line no.9 paddle[s]
Be verb which is 'are' is plural in sentence so, paddle should be plural.
3. With reference to the essay ‘Reading the Aotea Waka Saga’ and any other relevant sources, answer the following question: where is Hawaiki?
In Maori mythology, Hawaiki is the native land of the Maori.
Where is Hawaiki? It is difficult to decide on the real location of a place.
Maori mythology just said at the death of our bodies our spirits live on and journey back to Hawaiki.
Thank you :)
Hi Martin, you've made a good start but I think you've misunderstood Q2. The question is asking you to identify words that people don't use in modern English (i.e, that English-speaking people would not use in everyday conversation). Try to think of it in terms of "formal" Korean and the Korean you use when talking to your friends. Try and go through the text again and see if you can identify some new words.
DeleteAlso, please choose a short story to read for this week and post your answers in a new blog post. Thanks :-)

1. With reference to the essay 'Reading the Aotea Waka Saga' and any other relevant sources, answer the following question : where is Hawaiki?
In Māori mythology, Hawaiki is the homeland of the Māori, the original home of the Māori, before they travelled across the sea to New Zealand. It also features as the underworld in many Māori stories.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hawaiki
Hawaiki is the legendary homeland or place of origin of the Maori people of New Zealand. There are many different opinions on what and where it is. Some people believe that it is a mythical place, others think it was the starting point for the migratory canoes , Some think it is a place in Asia from where people spread out and some people see it as an afterworld that we go to when we die.
http://wiki.answers.com/Q/Where_was_hawaiki
There are different opinions. After reading 'Reading the Aotea Waka Saga' and other relevant sources, I think Hawaiki is a mythical place. Because, location of Hawaiki is uncertain. And there are no positive proof that is the homeland of Maori.
Hi Sally,
DeleteI really like your answers and you've actually done some research on your own - which is wonderful! In terms of the question about "identifying English usage which is no longer common", I think you had the same problem as Martin - in that you misunderstood the question.
Have a look at Ju Sang's answers, because he has it correct. Then try again and see if you can identify five new words.
Please choose a short story to read for this week and post your answers as a new blog post.
Hi, Karen! I didn't know that I have to post my answers as a same blog post. Sorry about that, so I answered the answers of Chapter2. :) Later, I will answer about Chapter3! Have a nice day.
ReplyDelete2. What do their reactions to the accident ‘down the lane’ reveal about the different characters of Laura, Jose, Mother, Father and Laurie?
I think the reactions of all people in the garden except for Laura were so indifferent about the accident. Even though Scott, who has five children and wife, was dead because of falling off his horse, Laura’s relatives and family did not care about that. That is difference between Laura and them. On the other hands, Laura said “ I think we should stop this party!! It’s not proper today!” That is, Laura was so upset about their attitude.
3. Can you find a possible example in ‘The Garden Party’?
Yes, I found some examples in the story such as “Roses”, “Green trees”, “karaka trees” and “lilies” and Roses and lilies made the party more beautiful, and were illustrated like positive things. Additionally, I thought The karaka trees looked like Laura’s condition because Laura felt different emotion against her family about the accident. As the tree stood up alone, the tree was illustrated like a lonely thing. That is my thought.
Hi Ian - thanks for these, I can see that you've really thought hard about your answers. The example of the tree as a symbol of loneliness is great. Good work!
