Ka Kite Bro is a story that teaches all who read it a very important message and that is to always be yourself, stand up for what you believe in and to never let anyone tell you different. If you are looking for an interesting, sympathetic short story then I would definitely recommend Ka Kite Bro to you.
The story is based around the world of Tama, a young boy who is dealing with the grief of his friends death, as well as racist comments from teachers and students telling him he shouldn’t execute his Maori traditions. I felt ashamed of the way the other students treated Tama and couldn’t help but reflect on the schools I’ve been to, to see if racism like this has happened.
I found Tama to be a strong, patient character. He’d have to be extremely patient to deal with everyone's criticism and not snap back at them. I felt quite sympathetic for Tama when Mr Watson said, “you’re not going to use your friend's death as an excuse to skip class now, are you?” I felt sympathetic for Tama because If I had a friend that just died like that I would want a bit of support not someone insulting me like that.
In conclusion I think that Ka Kite Bro was a good short story, because it was interesting and exciting. I Liked how Willie Davis hooked me into the story, and taught me a very valuable lesson. Again I would definitely recommend Ka Kite Bro to anyone that is looking for a heartwarming / devastating story.
