I liked it because it tells you what she is feeling when she is in the situation where she is going to a whole new country and that is probably quite hard for her especially when she has to leave everything behind including her Dad and the fact that he didn't wave good bye was probably more upsetting.

I think the author wrote this story because it was about her mother's experience and her story that the daughter can remember forever. I think she also wrote it because people can relate to it and share their stories too. The message in the story was that her mother moved to New Zealand and how her mother was sort of scared and also excited to move to a whole different country with lots of different people, and languages and also moved away from her family which I would also feel scared and left out about in this situation. I think it was not fair that she is called an alien. I think she also wrote it to tell the world that NZ was not being fair to the Samoans in that time and that she wanted to make it equal to all different people of the world.

I enjoyed this story because it was beautifully written and I could tell that it means a lot to the writer. I think that this was a great poem and the writer did a fantastic job at writing this as war is quite a hard sad topic to write about. I quite like the lines at the end: "There are strict rules about what you can and cannot do, the officer says. According to New Zealand law, you are an alien." it was a great ending and like all great short stories/poems it had an ending that left you wanting more.

Because it is one of those stories that you want to tell the world and that you feel a personal connection to, to tell us that the hardships that her mother faced, to tell us about the hardships of war and because they probably felt that someone had to write about it, so why not them.

Because it is about when some of the Samoans came to live in Nz and is about how they got treated differently, like how she had to give her thumbprint and how she got called an alien.

Yes I enjoyed the story because the poem had good flow and the writer must have put his/her heart and soul into it. I think the writer was the daughter of the main charecter.

I think the reason why the author wrote this story was because it wasn't that much of a well known story and I think that the message of the story was that life can be hard and unjust.

I enjoyed this story because it gave a little piece of mind of what was going on in the rest if the world back in the 1900's. It's slightly sad that New Zealand was like that back in history. In my opinion I think the story is wonderful.

The story was written in a very nice way. But it was really said because imagine going to a new country and trying to start a new life but people are not inviting. And you get treated differently because you are of a different race. I just think that's unfair. Even more unfair is that they just get called aliens just cause other people don't think they belong because they have a different skin colour.
