For this piece I was asked to read a chapter of the book "Wild Meat and The Bully Burgers" and write my own narrative to respond to the chapter, and to then illustrate the two narratives. I chose to focus on the descriptions of 1980s Hawaii's flora and fauna as given by the main characters father. I wrote a narrative that related to this by referring to the stories my dad had told me of growing up in Trinidad. I wanted to show the similarities of people living in Island countries, and the ways in which we speak about our homelands. The quote “Daddy telling me things he might never say again” was what inspired this piece.
