Whale Rider

How do the characters in Whale Ride live in hyphenated lives?

Each character is pulled in two different directions 

or acts as a bridge between worlds or people.

For example:  

The Grandfather is pulled between traditions and the modern ways.

                        The Grandmother acts as a bridge between her grand-daughter and her husband.  

You will pick one character and analyse in a well written paragraph, how their lives are hyphenated.
Be ready to have specific evidence from the movie.
