My assignment plan for New Lits 2008 Rewrite
I will choose one part of story in "Cousins" by Patricia Grace. Because this story is easy to understand and show post-colonial and Maori culture in New Zealand.
The part of extract may be the in childhood , relationship , bonded marriage.
Backup plan : I might consider children fiction (i.e Oliver Twist , The adventure of Winnie the Pooh (Classical Version)
I guess it's such a good idea to re-write this story for children. Well I haven't read the book YET but just heard about the story of this book. ^^~ Weird.. Anyway there are three cousins who grew up in different environments or surroundings, right? I bet it'd have lots of... kind of... emotional... and cultural effects on their life and languages. Good-luck with it!
ReplyDeleteHi Alan,
ReplyDeleteYour re-write idea sounds good.
I have never read this book but I have heard lots about it in other classes so I cant wait to see what you come up with, it might even inspire me to read the whole book
Goodluck
Iagree with all ashleigh's opinion.
ReplyDeleteIn fact, I bought the book, but have not read it.
I'm looking forward to your write-back.
