The story was incredibly insightful into the events that unfolded between the Indigenous and the colonials. The way in which the ties that bonded the indigenous and the colonials progressively begin to break down I found interesting. The Indigenous didn’t see what was happening to their land and the colonials didn’t realise what they wereContinueContinue reading “Discussing interesting ideas in Kim Scott’s That deadman dance”

Write a letter to Meg in “Down at the Dump” telling her what you think about her relationship with Lummy.
Dear Meg, Do whatever you want, it’s that simple. To be influenced by someone is good, to be coerced is wrong. Don’t allow yourself to be forced into something you don’t wish to do.

Adventures At Merry Beach
For Judith Wright the mountain has its own meaning. Describe a favourite place that has a real meaning for you, that you hate to see destroyed. I believe a little backstory is required to begin. My girlfriend, Bianca, and her family travel down the coast to Merry Beach every year in January. This year IContinueContinue reading “Adventures At Merry Beach”
