Your original composition needs to include both:

1. A reference to at least one piece of evidence from the text relating to your theme

2. At least two uses of figurative language (metaphor, simile, personification, alliteration, hyperbole)

Aside from that, the style of poem, genre of song, length, and lyrical content is up to you. For full credit, your composition should also:

Have a title

Show originality and high artistic quality — this should be a composition someone can hear or read and naturally be able to pick up on what your theme is

Incorporate your textual reference and figurative language in a way that clearly shares the connection you made to the theme with the reader/listener

Write your poem or song in a Google Doc. When pau, come make a new post here on Padlet in your class column and write the title of your composition as the subject line. In the post section (where it says "Write something amazing!") paste the text directly from your Google Doc. Then on the bottom, write your complete theme statement and submit before the end of class!

The stones were cut with careful hands,
A lasting tribute to the man
ʻUmi-a-Līloa, father of many,
Ancestor of all, chief of plenty.

His family, friends, and people too,
Worked together, all in view,
To prepare with sacred stones
A resting place to keep his bones.

To Kula Aihakoko went
To mourn the death of his attendant
Paid as tribute: the cost was steep
But sacrifices all must keep.

ʻUmi left in peace hard-won
Although his tomb was not yet done,
In every stone, his spirit stays,
A king remembered all our days.

Hawaiians treated death, like life, with reverence and respect, going to great measures to protect the bones of their dead.

people forget what respect can do

I want to say this respectfully

Respect is granted by doing it first

Respect is made by admiring people

People forget what respect brings

But ʻUmi didn't because he had kindness for people

And we should learn from him

He had kindness by feeding his friends even tho he was abused for it

ʻUmi had wholesome admiration for people

He knew soon people would have the same feelings for him

He just waited for his turn to help his people

He ruled his lands with honesty

He also ruled with kindness

He ruled the land better then his brother

And then his community respected him

He had so much empathy for his hāumana by giving them all a piece of land

giving empathy to earth like the jesus gave empathy to us

His love for his communtiy sent his reign far as a sphear

respect creates a better leader and community

Confidence is key…

Lack of confidence will bring missed opportunities

Maybe a missed chance to help communities

It's even so common it also happened to ‘Umi

Lack of confidence will bring bad communication

Confidence helps build your own foundation

Lack of confidence will bring things you might regret

Things that can't leave your head i call it hard to forget

Lack of  confidence might make you scared to share

It's sometimes frightening to the point where you can’t bare

a feeling so uncomfortable there's nothing you can compare

The emotion that is displayed you can feel it in the air

Believe it or not it happened even to most of our ancestors

The sensation is so bad there is not a single contester

Lack of confidence can feel like your sitting in a empty room

Until that one day came when i finally started to bloom

Finally i had a great abundance of confidence

I finally started to gain my first bit of self-consciousness

For the first time i experienced what it's like to be confident

It was exactly what i was missing it was the last condiment

I have a chance to explore, you know live life a little more

It was like a big opportunity like a wide open door

It’s what i always ask and wished for, what i always adored

So i look up to my one and only jesus christ and say

Thank you so much for what you have done my lord.
