First, the video told us what maui did for his plan. The main charcters were Maui, The Sun, and Maui's Brothers.
Back in the days, it used to be the sun, Te Ra, who travelled across the sky. The days were short and the nights were long. During the time, Maui and his brothers went to go and hunt fish, cultive plantations, or even to make war. Maui wanted to capture the sun, so maui made a plating flax fibers into ropes to capture the sun. When they captured the sun, they weakened it so that it could swiftly travel across the sky slowly. Thanks to Maui, people could do lots of things in the time of day.
I enjoyed watching this mythological story because it represents the Maori Culture. Video

ReplyDeleteI really like your blog post and the myth of capturing the sun
I have also read a fairy tale book and liked it.
I was wondering how did Maui travel to the sun?

ReplyDeleteThat is a very good question you asked. At night, Maui and his brothers went to a cave where the sun sleeps during the night time. When the sun came out, they captured the sun. Maui got the hook and weakened the sun so that he could not break the ropes.
