Similarities
- Where we sleep, our modern house we have our bedrooms, and Wharepuni is where they slept.
- They are in a village or pa which is what the lived in Māori, or town (modern day), they are near other buildings like other homes.
Differents
- The Māori Wharepuni where completely made of natural sources, such as wood and ferns. Our houses may have wood in the walls but have some man made materials like, concert supports.
- We have electronic lights in every room, but the only light the Māori had would be fire.
Hi there Tia,
ReplyDeleteWell done on your blog post, I really like how you structured your explanation with differences and similarities; looks very organised and makes it easy for readers to understand your explanation. What I think you need to be mindful the next time is to make sure you mention the names of the houses like the modern house or the wharepuni in your sentences so readers understand which house you are talking about; such as "The modern house are located in towns and similarly wharepuni are located in villages or what the Maori people call a 'Pa'".
Good job on mentioning the wharepuni and how it is made with natural resources, that is a very important point to share as that is what makes this house traditional! When I lived in Samoa, the traditional house (called a fale) was made of natural resources too like wood and coconut tree leaves; pretty similar to the wharepuni!
Looking forward to hearing from you soon Tia, keep up the good work!
