Crictical+Response

I am learning to analyze character in a short story, giving evidence from the text to support my judgements 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 wrote a paragraph on each of kaha's traits

Kaha

Kaha is a story of a dogs from his friends prospective and what good times they had together.

From the story I can tell that he absolutely loves seafood. One because it say’s that he loves seafood. Two because it say’s that he ate too much eels and threw up on the floor but the next day he just got straight back into the mangroves and hunted down some more eels. The last point is that it say’s that he likes eels, oysters and pipis.

Kaha was pretty rough around the edges by that I mean that he is rough and tough. The reason that I think that is because the text said that he picked fights with cow cockys and all ways getting kicked out of the pub. Another instance is his surrounding neighbours didn’t exactly like him. In fact, they thought he was a nuisance and one of them even threatened to shoot him if he didn’t stop being such a pest. So not many people liked kaha and thought he should go.

Along with some other traits kaha was careless. he didn’t care about most things he didn’t care for the finer things in life and didn’t really mind getting into a fight and getting into trouble. Kaha was a stray before his owner came along and gave him shelter and that pretty much explains why he is tough and likes to pick fights even though he is a dog it says that Kaha fought fights with cow cockys and got kicked out of the pub. He also didn’t care about his neighbours hating him either.

Another characteristic of Kaha is loyal. Because he stuck with the narrator for six years and kept on going on adventures with the narrator. He also is good to the narrator unlike the other people such as his neighbours and locals. also he was loyal because he stopped getting in fights when he came into contact with the narrator.

Kaha is a cool story and Kaha is a cool dog with heaps of different characteristics and a rough life. He’s loyal, careless,loves seafood and tough and strong. After all Kaha does mean strong.
