Part of reading the book "Who Am I?" by Anita Heiss has opened my eyes of how aboriginal people have been treated before and how different coloured aboriginals are treated very differently. Throughout my journey in reading Who Am I? I have encountered many likes and dislikes of the book some of these likes and dislikes are:
LIKES:
-That when Mary was at the Home with Matron Rose she wasn't treated differently
-That Dot was there for Mary through thick and thin
-That Ma B and Pa B accepted Mary as one of their own
-Sophie and Mary are starting to act like sisters
-Everyone is starting to except Mary as an aboriginal
-Toni likes Mary for who she is and doesn't judge her because of her culture
-Everyone is starting to trust Mary more after an incident that happened during school
-That Sophie and Mary both hate their 'brother'
-The story is based in Sydney
-Mary's foster family are typical Aussies: Blond hair, blue eyes but they still except Mary
-Dot still sees Mary even though she is not allowed to
-Mary is learning more about her culture and excepting
-Mary loves that she is aboriginal
DISLIKES:
-That when Mary first came to Saint Ives none liked her because she is aboriginal
-That Johnny Jones bullies Mary because she is aboriginal
-Everyone is so Racist to Mary
-Mary is not allowed to see Dot because she is aboriginal
-At the home they had to change her name so her family couldn't find her
-That Sophie made a deal with Mary to keep her secret
-Her parents and everyone but Dot want Mary to forget her culture
-Mary is ashamed of being an aboriginal because of everyone
Over all I have more likes then dislikes for Who Am I? and I definitely think everyone should read it.

A very good summary of you likes and dislikes. It is a good way to learn about the history of Australia. I wonder if it will help you with your learning during benchmark 4 of our History Unit.
