Whale Rider response

1) Name two situations where Koro ignored signs of Pai’s ability and aptitude to lead.

When she led in the boys at the beginning of the school and when she beat the boy in a taiaha fight.
2) Discuss the scene where Rawiri took up the taiaha again. How does this change carry on for Rawiri in the rest of the story?

Rawiri becomes more confident in himself and starts taking better care of him self and becoming a leader.
3) When the community walk away together, Paikea comes from behind them and walks alone back towards the big
whale. What did that image make you think about Paikea?

She wanted to prove to Koro that she could be the chosen leader of the tribe even though she is a girl.
4) When Pai is in the hospital how do they know Koro has changed his attitude towards her?

Koro stays in the room with Pai until she wakes up.
5) What is the significance of the waka? Describe the waka scene that struck you most, and explain why.
