Ngā Tātarakihi o Parihaka
The pākehā government was in Parihaka having a conversation with Te Whiti. Te Whiti and Tohu afterwards called a meeting. Everyone knew that their would be many people coming to the meeting in Parihaka and make official decisions as a group. The pākehā were turning everything into violence and never listening to anyone. Turning things from peace to chaos then to war leaving nothing but unhappiness and grief. The Characters: Tohu, Api, Te Whiti, Rangi, Aunty Maata, Rarawa, Kuia. The soldiers had arrived in parihaka, the young girls greeting them with there poi’s and loud singing. Villagers holding out their possessions as well as loaves of bread but the soldiers had ignored them and kept marching through Parihaka. The pākehā had not wanted Rarawa’s brother but Tohu and Te Whiti, Parihaka just wanted peace but got war. Was anyone safe?

I like how you mentioned "Turning things from peace to chaos then to war leaving nothing but unhappiness and grief." I never thought of putting that in. I did the same as you, I wrote a summary about the story. Did you like the book?
