Feature Blogger: Whale Rider Question

It is assumed from the beginning of the film that Pai's brother, if he had survived, would be trained to be the village's new chief, and that Pai would not be focused on like had in the film .But is that so? Would she have been as determined to prove herself worthy of chief if her brother was trained to be on since birth? And would do you think would happen if her brother failed every single test needed to determine a new chief?
