LI : To understand we make judgements based on stereotyping, assumptions and prejudices
We read the text bok choy for reading. This text shows us the prejudices existed towards the Chinese immigrants in early NZ.
It also shows us that it is importantant to be empathy for those who are seen different from us.
Dear Ah-sum,
I, Thank you Ah-sum, for saving me from the river. While everyone was minding their business, you stepped in and risked your life just for me and I appreciate it so much. I also want to thank you for inviting me into your hut and giving me a nice warm tea to heat me up from the chilly freezing river, it made me feel safe and I hope you felt safe too.
I also want to apologize for the way I acted towards william since he was being unkind. The only thing I could do was stand up for myself, I wasnt going to let him do unkind things to me but I am very sorry for not showing enough respect, especially towards you Ah sum.
I am hoping in the future I could do the same for you, I cannot help but thank you for saving me. So someday if you get hurt just know I will always be there for you.
