Staying True to YourselfSometimes 'being true to yourself' means changing your mind.In Witi Ihemeara's short story, Halcyon Summer, the central character, Tama knows how to be true to himself. When he first arrives at Tolaga Bay, he tries to keep to himself until he works out what was going on. Later he learns to trust his cousins and is prepared to swear on the bible rather than tell his cousin who has hit him. He doesn't want to get his cousin into trouble. (quote) shows that Tama is true to himself because he recognised that he had already developed a new bond with his cousins.
