Task F Copy out your favourite sentence from this book. Why do you like this sentence? Give detailed reason for this.
We had a lot of laughs. One time, a soldier brought in a German prisoner and some of the Pioneers did a haka. They rolled their eyes, stuck out their tongues ... the full works. We almost felt sorry for poor Fritz.
I like this scentence because it sounds like a true NZ scentence and their is some humor in it and humor always gets me. I like the sound of the haka with the eye rolling.
Task G Make up three questions you could ask someone about this book to test whether they have read it carefully.
- What simile was used when saying something about putting a tarp on ___________
- What were the last two scentences of the story
- How many men got killed or injured
