So we read a short story called the red sari 

the red sari.

Then we had post reading questions 

Look up one new word from the story you don’t know the meaning of, and re-write the definition in your own words.

The new word i looked up that i did not know

it is a type of truck 

In “The Red Sari,” the narrator experiences a very different world to NZ. What is a quote from this story which shows this?

A quote from the story  

whoever has the fastest vehicle get's the right of way.

Unless you're a cow.Then the whole world gives way to you.  

What do you think the author, Apirana Taylor, wanted us to understand about experiencing different cultures?

to see what other cultures are like because there is more then one culture.

Does Apirana Taylor encourage us to appreciate people who are different to us? How so?

yes because everyone is equal and not different

Find one MINOR SENTENCE (grammatically incorrect, partial sentence or fragment) in The Red Sari. Why do you think the author chose to write in this way? What is the effect of this on the reader?

i could not find one of these

"sahib "sahib" I think that the author wrote it in this way was because he choose to.The effect this had on the reader was to challenge them to learn what it means

“Kali -- goddess of destruction -- rules” is an example of an ALLUSION (a reference to mythology, another text, historical event or person). Why did the author include this allusion in his writing? What is the effect of this on the reader? because it is referencing to Hindu mythology and it impacts the reader by saying that the god of destruction is doing what she does best 

Find an example of REPETITION in the story. What is the effect of this?

rupee rupee food food

the effect this has is to make it more lie real life

So what do you think
