Kaha


 * Literacy - Writing Sample**

My Writing is called Kaha

It is a Critical Response to a Short Story written by Linda Chatterton.

I wrote it as an example of how to critically respond to a character in a story.

One of my learning goals was to analyse a character from a short story and give evidence from the text to support my judgements and comments about the character.

I achieved this because I have written a good critical response.

**Teacher Comment**

The story Kaha was written by Linda Chatterton. Kaha is the main character.

Kaha really had a taste for sea food his favorites were oyster, pipis and eels. He overdosed on them once and was violently ill. He had up on the kitchen floor. I thought he’d never look at eels again. But not Kaha. Next day he was back into them as usual.

The dog Kaha was a fearless dog. he got into lot’s of fights.“I had to break up a fight and bring him home battered and bruised once“ someone even threatened to shoot him. He was a friendly dog as well he would spend the winter nights by the fire listening to the stories I would tell him. “We got along fine”.

He was not a popular dog cause he was a mean looking Bugger. “but we got along fine “. He was a scary dog Big and brawny with the most evil eyes you have ever seen. He’s been kicked out of a pub for picking on a cow cocky. I liked the story Kaha because Kaha was an interesting dog and I wouldn’t mind having a dog just like him.
