Whale Rider
1) The Maori people have migrated from the island Hawaiki, around 800 to 1200 AD. The story was about a family and they were Maoris. A man named Koko is grandfather to a little girl named Paikea. Koko was the leader of the Maori people in the place they lived in and he wanted to find a new leader, which had to be a boy if he wanted to follow the tradition. The person who actually head to be the next leader was Koko’s grandson, but he didn’t have a grandson, and he could not do like the generations before him. He didn’t want to have a girl as a leader for the Maoris. He trained other boys from the little town, and Pai watched them while they trained. There was a lots of legends about whales and how they had helped the Maori to migrate form Hawaiki, and the film showed us how Pai called the whales and they came.
2) The two leaders was Pai’s grandfather Koko and Pai’s father. But Pai became a leader after that her grandfather was convinced that she could be a leader.
3) Koko showed his leader ship, by training the other boys, in the town. And he also had a whale tooth as a nuclease, and that showed that he was a leader. Had Pais father was the other leader because he was Koko’s son.
4) The similarities between Pai and Koko, is that they both faith, in themselves and they wanted to finish a thing they started.
5) Because he wanted to follow the tradition like the generations before him had, and that’s why he wanted a male leader. Maybe he also wanted a male leader because he thought that a female could not be a good leader.
