Comparing The Wharepuni With My House/Summer Learning Journey

Comparing The Wharepuni With My House, well there are a few similarities for example
1: The Wharepuni (Wharenui) has an entrance to go inside, just like my house
2: It has a roof and also a window, again just like my house

Differences would be:
A wharepuni represents an Iwi and the people of that Iwi,
Wharepuni have a Tekoteko on the top which is normally of a well-known person (depends on where you are from), like, Kupe, Paikea, Rangatira and so on.
Tekoteko stand above a Koruru this can usually be the head of an ancestor.
The sides are carved ( amo) and will tell a story of the Iwi.
The Maihi which are the arms are carved and have fingers (raparapa).


In conclusion, I think that I house is boring compared to the wharepuni because a wharepuni has so much history and my house is just a house.So I think the wharepuni is much better than my house the end.
