200 Word Challenge

 Today in wānanga we had to do the 200-word challenge if we are done our cultural kete reflect. I did 202 words. Here is the story and the photo

Each year we celebrate cultures/places. In the place, I live it happens in April. There is no exact day that it happens so we make it so that different things happen each day. On one day we have a big celebration in the city. It cost 10$ per person, for a family it cost 50$ 2 adults and 3 kids. It happens in each big city. People from different places in the world that are in the city bring the flag of where they are from to the celebration. Some people bring their sexuality flags or they bring flags they make. There will be people performing their culture. Most people will be doing songs and dance. Most people will be doing Pasifika because there are lots of people that are Pacific. There were also many lights around as well as it happens in different cities on different days and times at night. There will also be smoke and loud music and lots of cheering. There is a lot of people there so it will make the money to pay for the people to be there. Even if you are not there it will be on tv so you can watch it.

200 Word Challenge

Today we did something new. It was the 200 word challenge like 100 word challenge but more words. I did more then 200 words because I had to much ideas. Here is my work.

Today was a really good day. The sun was out, the wind was blowing and keeping us cool from the hot sun. It was a good day until…   my friends left me over a rumor. I don't know what the rumor was but it has to be bad because they are always by my side and they didn't ever believe rumors.I was walking down the street and found a piano. I walked up to the piano, it was as beautiful as a sunrise. I sat down on the set by the piano and opened it up. It was brand new but why was it out in the middle of the sidewalk. I put my hand on the cold keys and started to get the riven of the keys and connect with it. I started playing my favorite song. While I was playing it felt like I was meant to find it. My hands were playing. I wasn't in control. The piano was in control. It made me feel free to do whatever I wanted to do. Even though it was a bad day the piano just made it way better than it was. It felt like my life was complete, nothing could get in the way now. Even on bad days and when I lose my friends I can still make more. Everyday was an amazing day from that day on. My parents died the next day but it was still a good day even though we cant spend any more memories. They are still in my heart even though they are gone. I played my parents favourite song on the piano in front of everyone at the funeral. Everyone loved it.
