Reading "Who am I?" has actually informed me about the struggles Aboriginal people had in eyes of white society during the 1900s.
Some features I was really fond of are:
Some features I was really fond of are:
- Mary's new foster family had accepted her and treated her like their other children
- Pa B's typical Aussie characteristics
- At one point Sophie and Mary treated each other like actual, true, blooded sisters
- Dot was very open to Mary and made Mary her own niece/daughter
- Sam being that "brother who has a big ego and hates everyone else but himself"
- Ma B being a real Mother and helping Mary every time it's needed
- The very unexpected, hypocritical moment where Mary questioned the long stare given by Bully Johnny Jones and if he might like Mary secretly
Some events I felt were disappointing or i naturally disliked are:
- Johnny Jones being the antagonist he is in the book
- Sam's mean comments just because Mary is an Aborigional
- the Burkes saying she's supposed to forget and leave her heritage and past away and now consider herself a white
An interesting commentary on the book. You have highlighted some interesting developments within the text. I look forward to your next blog.
