By now you should have read and summarised up to the end of chapter 16. Here are four thought provoking questions. Answer them in one comment.
1) What was the effect of the result of the football game on the town?
2) How do you explain Blacky's feelings?
3) Why do you think Blacky feels uncomfortable about the graffiti on the jetty shed?
4) What is Darcy warning Blacky about? Does Blacky understand? Does Clarence?

The effect of the footy game by Damien Main
ReplyDeleteEverybody in the town was really happy and exited that they won the flag. It was the first premiership in Port for 38 years so everyone was over the moon. Blacky felt like a fraud because he didn't mean to tackle the thumper. Blacky feels uncomfortable about the graffiti on the shed because he was there with Clarence and also he didn't scratch it out when it was first written. Darcy warns Blacky about all of the girls having the 'clap'. I don't think that Blacky understands but Clarence does.
darcy tells blacky that " all them black girls have the claps" by this h means aids blacky dosen't undrstand what darcy means by "claps" i am not shor if claracne knows what he means
ReplyDeleteEvery one in the town saw the game and were really happy about the win because it was the first premiership for 38 years. Blacky was really happy and excited to go to the do in town but was feeling giulty because he hadn't meant to tackle the Thumper. Blacky feels uncomfortable and embarressed about the graffiti because he was siting there with Clarence who is a nunga. Darcy warns Blacky that the Aboriginal girls are nice but that they all have the clap. Blacky doesn't understand what the 'clap' was but i think Clarence does because she dislikes Darcy from then on.

it made everyone in the town really happy and exited that they have one the flag because their last flag was 38 years ago. Blacky was feeling guilty because he didn't mean to tackle the Thumper.Blacky felt guilty not for writing it because he didn't but he felt guilty for not scraching it out. Darcy warned him about Clarence by saying you be carful of these gins now,lad. Nice girls but they've all got the clap. every last one of them. blacky does not understand what Darcy was saying.
ReplyDeleteThe effect of the footy game on the town was a good thing, everyone was really happy that there footy team had won something after 38 years,everyone was so proud!
ReplyDeleteBlacky felt like a cheat because he didnt mean to stop the thumper he just accidently got in his way, before that Blacky had decided that he was going to give up - he doesnt even like footy that much so he didnt really care about the outcome.
Blacky feels guilty about the graffiti because he was with Clarence and because he didnt do anything about it when he first saw it was there.
Darcy was warning Blacky about the clap, Blacky didnt know what he was talking about though, i think Clarence understands what his talking about.
1. The whole town came togather and everyone was happy.
ReplyDelete2.Blacky felt as though he hadn't really tackled the thumper and felt as though he was a fake.
3.Because he hasn't rubbed it out and he feels as though he is supporting it no getting rid of it.
4. Darcy warned Blacky that all aboriginal girls have the clap. This means they sleep with lots of different people.

ReplyDeleteIt was a great effect on the town because the havent won the flag in 38 years! Everyone was very happy for them.
ReplyDeleteWe felt like he cheated everybody becasue he knew he didn't really tackle the thumper, he just got in the way.
He felt uncomfy about it because a white person wrote that, and he is a white person but he didn't do anything about it.
Darcy was warning him about the clap. Blacky didn't know about it but Clarence did.
the football game had a great effect on the town the town were really happy with game that they one, blacky feels good because he stopped the thumper but his dad called him a gutless wonder, blacky felt bad about the graffiti because no bdy has rubbed it off and that a white person wrote it.
ReplyDeleteThe whole town was very pleased with the results as they hadnt won a premiership in 38 years. It was exciting news for everyone.
ReplyDeleteBlacky felt guilty for all the praise he was getting, as he didnt actually mean to tackle the thumper, he was trying to get out of his way.
Blacky feels uncomfortable with the grafitti on the jetty shed as it was obviously a white person that wrote 'boongas piss off' and blacky is also white, so he feels partly responsible.
Darcy warns blacky about girls, he says 'all them blck girls have the claps' blacky doesnt really understand what Darcy means.
