    Personal Response to the Novel
    I thought that this book had a slow start and never really had my attention. The slow start was approximately for five chapters and never really got a start, just talking about history constantly and never stops and when it does the way Doris Pilkington describes the plot and story were amazingly boring and not a good written work and from this I probably never read another one of her novels.
    The way Doris Pilkington could have made this book better was less drag on sentences and constant repeating and more action and better description. Also if there were a little more mystery than straight forward, that is what I thought would have made the book better.

Fear for their migration south, but the stories of a constant food supply and access to the white man’s tobacco were also attractive persuaders.” (Pg 20)

    The review of the books were good and bad thought on the novel. The novel had many effects towards the readers and some were positive yet some negative. One of the critics Erin (San Francisco) “This is one of those stories that all should read, but sadly the delivery of the walk home was to straightforward.” As people read this book thought to have it came to strong like the critic has said and yet there were a few not so positive reactions to the book. Another critic had this to say, Stephen A. (Canada) thought “It’s an insult to Doris Pilkington and to the children’s endeavor alike to race through this book.” Seeing that the others who have read her book thought this was embarrassing to her writing.

    Aboriginals were once the domain settlers of the land as we know as Australia, once a proud tribe is now rarely alive. There culture was fascinating and one of the oldest cultures in the world. They respected the animals and the environment and always kept the balance of the nature and never mistreated it. They lived as hunters and gatherers. The way they separated the land was by geographic terms. But one of the most important was the respect ladder and the king and just a little lower were the elders. The elders were known as the person that told stories to kinds, was wisdom teller, and the wisest of them all. But all that changed when the white man came to there world of the unknown and changed the culture the aboriginals knew forever. The white man changed there way they believed, the way they lived, the way they breathed. They made them slaves.(Indigenous Australia).
