My favourite character in this book is Pania and also Kelly. This is because they are caring girls and are also helpful. Pania, because she led Matt to somewhere Puarata would not find him. And Kelly, because she has a caring soul of offering food to Matt. She also helped him clean up. Although, my least favourite character is Puarata because he is selfish and likes to keep everything in gold locks. This sounds like Goldilocks and the three bears. The three bears would be : Matt, Pania,Kelly and the Goldilocks is : Puarata. He is too selfish and likes everything to himself. He doesn’t care about anything else except the tiki bone. The choose Puarata is making is just “STUPID” and the choices Matt is making “Absolute amazing idea”. Because he is trying to keep the tiki bone safe and sound. Besides this, If I was to choose a character to stay with in the book for a weekend, I would choose : Kelly. This is because in the book it sounds like she doesn’t have much friends and I would’ve liked to be her best friend. Although, she is caring and likes sharing anything of hers. She will also take good care of me.

If Kelly invited me to her birthday, I would get her a big gift. For all, the care she has done for me and because she really deserves it. Kelly is a hard worker. I would get her a new car and like about $1,00000 if I could afford it(Laugh). This gift will be helpful of traveling and so her new friends can come in. Meaning: staying over for the night. She can travel anywhere she can and doesn’t need to drive in a rusty old car. She will also have a clean house. Friends and families will start coming over. She could also move to another country or buy her a house or even go shopping. If I was a character in the book, I think Kelly would be absolutely surprised and would be crying tears in happiness.

During the book, I have found some parts interesting and some parts strange. This was because for a moment  Matt had been led by the footprints of Pania but is now followed on by a girl named Kelly. Kelly is around her teens and says she a freaky clown: By this, I mean, she goes to fears and plays her shows as a clown. But, the book is still interesting. Besides this, I would like to say that Kelly is a very nice girl because after Matt’s long night stroll or travel, Kelly had offered him some food. What a great girl, she it! Although, I have caught up to chapter 7 and I am really excited to read more!  

Many Thanks!

I am getting really engaged in the book. The hook has already caught me. It is like I am the sea creature and a human has caught me with the fish hook or even the net. Besides this, I am very confused about this whole situation. I thought that the story would just be based on Matt, Puarata, Tama and the tiki bone, but a new character has arrived. Her name is “Pania”. If have been through my blog, you would have seen all my predictions. I am saying this, because on my Multistructural task, Friday 9th June. You would have seen that I have explained the story. Well! After strangling Matt, it said that a girl was at the end of the traffic. She told him to follow her through these alleyways. This caused them to stop at the Marine Parade. His house was only a few kilometers away to his right hand. What I hope happens in the book is that Pania and Matt would be stuck in the middle of nowhere and mets a new character. This is because I want the book to engage me more  and for it to take me up the ladder. I want the book to sink me in. Although, I am still reading and I am really getting into this book. I will blog another post, predicted on the after read! ..

I have read the book for 20 minutes and the story has changed. Do you remember when Mat was getting strangled from Puarata! Well, here is the next part of the story. Mat scrambled up and turned, watching the girl. “Pania”. She greeted him in a melody voice. Mat blinked and shook his head - The moko(Maori tattoo on chin) he’d thought he seen, had vanished from her chin. He thought he’d been seeing things. She stuck out her right hand, and for an instant, the moko had reappeared on her chin. He jerked away in a massive fright. Blood dripped from his face. She told him what to do! As she indicated on her own nose where she meant. He stopped bleeding. She told him “Come with me”. As she led Mat through alleyways until they caught up to the Parade. His house was only a few kilometers away from his right hand side. She led him through a break in the traffic to the palm trees on the median. Two boys throwing stones in the beach stopped and gazed at the girl as they walked pass them. Matt asked the girl if she knew that warrior guy! No response had replied. He asked another question saying “Have you seen this before?” Meaning the tiki bone! She stopped, reached out, but stopped short of touching the tiki bone. Then, her soft brown eyes grew sad. Although, this was the after story book!

I have currently caught up to chapter 5 and the book is getting really dramatic and interesting. I am starting to get more and more butterflies every step of the stairs. It’s like my body is condensing together as it sinks through my bones. It’s like my mind has a maze of stories. It’s like every sentence is asking me “Choose me” billions of times. It’s getting to scary and it is like a horror movie flowing inside my bones and body as it is like being punched like a boxing bag. I am really getting into the book! Once I find out more in the book! I’ll post another prediction on my blog!

Relational_T2W6

WALT: think and reflect on some things that the main character in this text we're reading has done.

1.  Write about a choice the main character had to make this week. A choice that the main character, Matt, has had to make this week is whether or not he was going to follow the steps of some random girl that honestly saved him from seeing heaven. I think he made the right choice as she's the first person throughout the whole story who  frightened Puarata away and I'm thinking she knows what she's doing and maybe she knows where she's going and what she's doing. It sounds that this random girl is pretty, and has a great bubbly, caring personality inside of her. Although, I also think that this Maori girl is probably related to Matt in blood. Only because it sounds like one of the family members. And, I also hope that "Pania", the random girl stays safe. Lets find out next ! 

Hopefully Matt has made the right decision of following the strange girl.

Please leave a comment on my blog,

Many Thanks!

Friday 9th June

I have caught up to chapter 5 and the book is starting to get very interesting and dramatic. Here is the dramatic and interesting part of the story! Hope you enjoy. A phone started to ring, Maitu yelled “Don’t answer it”, as he sprinted down the stairs. Rikki was holding a whole load of goodies in the shopping bags. Mat ran into the office, where Tama had a digital phone. A number showed up on the lit panel. Tama(Dad) was calling. A few seconds later they realised that Tama must have missed Mat. Mat followed Rikki out the door, dropped his kit and turned to lock up. They heard the phone ring again. He put the key in the lock, when the low purr of a car engine made him turn. Rikki had stopped beside the Ford. The drivers opened the door near-side and Tama Douglas stepped out. From the passenger door, on the far side of the car, Puarata appeared. Mat opened his mouth and said “RIKKI RUN” and jerked the front door. Over his shoulder he saw everyone pause momentarily. Matiu saw Rikki half-turn, his mouth open to yell our something, when Tama’s fist swung in a huge arc that smashed into his jaw, his eyes rolled back into his skull. Over his shoulder, Mat could see Donna flow toward him. He started to run. He ran a block and chanced a glance back. The street seemed empty. He could see the rail station ahead. Puarata caught him and started to strangle Matiu. Matiu opened his mouth to scream, but he couldn’t get enough air, could the gag and fail at the massive fist holding him. A warrior set his hands free. The warrior straightened the first words. It stared at a Maori girl, maybe sixteen standing a few meters away, with flowing black hair. For a second moment, she gracefully had a moko on her chin. His hands went up as if protecting his eyes and he stumbled away as if she were the terrifying thing he’d ever seen. She raised her hand and opened her mouth again, he gave a sudden howl, and ran off into the darkness. He was probably scared of this Maori girl. I wonder what could happen next? Although, I know that this Maori girl is named “Pania” because it says on the next chapter title.

The Tiki Bone - Pre-structural

Wednesday 7th June 2017.

I haven’t read much of the book lately, but today my predictions are short and simple. I am predicting that Rikki gets caught and that he snitches on Matt which will lead this to a bigger drama. I would like this to happen because it would make the story more juicy and exciting. Already, I have butterflies doing its cycle twerk in my belly. This is because, the story is getting to the mark where it gets dramatic and scary. I am also predicting that, if Rikki gets caught and “Blabs”(Snitch) on Matt, everything would go crazy and Puarata may get the Tiki Bone! This is all I have read so far and I will share the next part of the story once I read the rest!

Matiu left his dad. He stole Tama’s keys and drove off with his car. Although, if I was to be in Matiu’s shoes, I would agree to leave because it is better for him and the tiki bone to live. Furthermore, as a person, I think Mat(Matiu), is a great person himself and also has an amazing personality. Even if he left his dad. Before continuing on, “Would you like to wonder why Matiu left his dad?” Well, Matiu left his dad, because he could hear Tama and Puarata talking on the phone about the “Tiki Bone”. Puarata wanted this Tiki really bad. So, as they arrived to the nanny Wai’s tangi(Funeral), Matiu took the Tiki and kept it on lock. Why is this Tiki Bone so important? Let's find out!

WEDNESDAY 24TH MAY, 2017.

This week, I’m predicting that I’m getting more closer to the end and deeper into the storyline.There’s going to be something big! Something Juicy! Something really Unsafe is about to happen and it’s going to be something unexpected. My predictions: two weeks ago have changed so much, there’s nothing to do with a bush so far and they’re not true, country maori people.Well this is another prediction of mine because instead of using the word "piupiu", they said ‘grass skirt’. What’s kind of confusing me at the moment is that everytime I start a new chapter they’re doing something different and sometimes in a whole new different place. My personal goal for this week is to finish the book and to be able to explain and have proof that I have completed the story and I know what ‘The Bone Tiki’ is all about.

TUESDAY 30TH MAY, 2017.

It’s been nearly 4 weeks now and I haven’t really had time to read and get into my book. But, my predictions for this week are the same as last time. I hope that the story gets more interesting and that more drama starts coming in as I get deeper into the storyline. I’m actually still a bit confused about why this pounamu is so  important and precious to many people other than Nanny wai and Aunty Rangi. My goal for this week is to finish the book and get to the bottom of the storyline. But if I’m not able to finish it because of the time I’m given, my goal is to read 20 - 29 pages.

FRIDAY 19TH MAY, 2017.

I’m up to chapter 3. I’m predicting that Mat & Rikki ‘borrow’ Rikki’s father’s car, travel to Napier and Mat runs off to Taupo so he and the bone tiki can be hidden and safe. I’m also predicting that they get chased by Puarata and his team. I’m hoping that the novel gets more interesting and makes my blood boil. What’s confusing me at the moment is that, I don’t understand why the bone tiki is so important. Yet, so all I have to do is keep reading. My personal goal for this week is to find out why the tiki is so important to everyone in the valley.

MONDAY 8TH MAY, 2017.

What I hope happens in this novel is that it is adventurous and exciting to read. In this novel, I would like there to be a storyline where it makes me jump and get butterflies while hooking me into the story without noticing or knowing. I want to be able to picture the story in my mind. Sighting those evil and good pictures. I want to be able to get hooked and make it to the end without anything ruining the vibe between myself and the book. I’m riding while on this journey with the characters. This story seems really interesting and it’s going to be more wild for me to read because it is set and based in my country, “Aotearoa”. What’s confusing me a little is all the myths and legends that are being brought together and put into one but I know forsure that it’s going to be an exciting journey for me to tag along in. My personal reading goal for this week is to get at least 3-4  chapters done or hopefully even more because the quicker the reading the faster the journey. And I hope that I finish at least pre-structural and unistructural and as again maybe even more.
