Visual Mihi

This is my Visual Mihi. This term we were given the task to do a Visual Mihi of yourself for your animation. 

In the middle is me. I am there for people to see and know who I am.

 On the top left hand corner there is a green flag with stars. That represents one of my cultures which is Cook Island.  There are 15 stars on the Cook Island flag. My other cultures are New Zealand, Maori and Tahitian.

On the top right hand corner there is a Cross. This is the Lords Cross. I have that there because I believe in the Lord. If you are good to the Lord the Lord is good to you.

On the bottom left hand there is a heart that has the word Family in it. I put that there because I Love my family dearly and always will. In my family I have 4 brothers that I love. I am the only girl in my family too.

Lastly on the bottom right hand corner there is a symbol of Music. The symbol is there because I enjoy listening to music. Listening to music makes me feel free.

I hope you learnt a bit about me. Hope you ENJOY!!!

The Rejected Boy

Marcus is a little boy. He is 7 years old and is having a very hard time. Marcus is short for his age so he gets a bit mocked. Marcus has blonde hair like his father. Marcus goes to a small school located in Christchurch.

Marcus has never had a real friend. Marcus tried so hard to have that one friend. All he ever got was rejected. Marcus has always been an isolated child. If you try to talk to him he will stay quite. One day Marcus tried to find that one perfect friend but got rejected.

Walking as slow as a turtle Marcus approached the person he wanted to be friends with. With a softly spoken voice Marcus muttered ¨come play with me, I'm your bestfriend¨. As soon as he said that last word the person instantly screamed out ¨NO¨.

Marcus got so offended that he started to scream his head off. Throwing his arms in the air Marcus growled as loud as a lion. Stomping like an elephant Marcus stormed out of the classroom where he was to chill out.

Marcus decided to go for a stroll to let out the anger. Marcus was so full of anger that he walked as fast as a cheetah. With his bitter face on you could tell he was down.  As he calmed down he thought about friends. What are friends, he said to himself. Once he was calm he went back into his class.
