Write a paragraph in response to ONE of the following three questions by making specific references to the book "Walkabout". You must respond twice - once addressing a question and once by replying to a classmates entry. Your second entry can be brief but needs to clearly challenge or support a classrooms argument.1. Why do you think Mary is so reluctant to learn from the "bush boy"?
2. Beyond basic survival, what could Mary and Peter learn from the "bush boy" about individual responsibility? Consider what the walkabout is suppose to accomplish.
3. The "Dream time" is the driving force that unites the Aborigines. The belief of the "Death Spirit" would convince the "bush boy" he would soon die. Why can't westerners understand such an ancient tradition? What beliefs do we practice that could be questioned by other cultures?
