TITLE: Maui - A Great Mythical Hero.

Name: Freedom

Introduction: I believe that Maui is a great mythical hero.

Reason 1: Firstly Maui's mighty fish hook was made out of his grandmother's jawbone, to help him catch things with it.

Reason 2: My next reason is Maui is an awesome mythical hero because he lassoed the sun to stretch our days and bring us fun.

Reason 3: Finally, Maui had incredibly powerful strength in his arms and legs, enough to pull in the North Island.

Conclusion: So, I’m sure you will agree with me that Maui is the greatest mythical hero of all time because he had a magic fish hook to help him catch things, he lassoed the sun and brought up the North Island.
