Notes for the story
- Government taking over their land.
- A lot of violence.
- Taking crops
- The girls are scared and worried.
- Messengers already heading out
- Rarawa swimming
- Api planning on stopping the pakeha from taking their land
- Argument on if they should leave or not
As rarawa was kneading the dough she heard about the government taking over their village. A few days later the pakeha soldiers arrived and started taking down the defence wall and taking their crops. Then Api was planning on stopping the pakeha soldiers from taking over their land, but rarawa and Rangi got worried because they were scared that their brothers were going to get taken away just like there dad and would get chucked in prison without having a trial. As the soldiers arrived Rarawa had swung the poi in time with the other girls but fear had scared the words out of her mouth. As the soldiers marched closer their rifles glanced against the light. The soldiers carried on marching past rarawa, when aunty Maata came they just ignored her. Finally the soldiers stopped marching and somehow the parihaka convinced the soldiers to turn back and leave us alone.

Kia Orana Huntah,
I like how you put your summary into your own words. I like how you added how the villagers got arrested. In my summary, I added that the soldiers took Te Whiti and Tohu away from the village. If the story was to carry on, what do you think would happen next?
