    Identity- Tayla
    1- Darcy teaches Blacky about the girls and life.. When dumby dies and it tought blacky the importance of racism.
    2- It is the grandfinal and Blcky tackles the Thumper. He feels like sombody not a gutless wonder. He is important.
    3- When blacky went to Dumby's funeral would be more larsting than the footy final because it was the sence of Blacky's identity.

    Darcey, Bob Black, Dumby Red and Cathy teaches Gary about himself and the world.

    In the Grand Final Blacky realises that he stepped infront of the Thumper and that he's not a Gutless Wonder.

    When Blacky went to Dumby's funeral it will stick in his mind longer than the Grand Final.

    Darcy, blacky's mum and dad, Dumby, and cathy have all brought out the true gary black.
    When blacky won the gran final for his team, he gew alot of confisence. he felt important and pleased. He feels as if he is not a gutless wonder anymore.
    Dumbys death really opened blackys eyes about racism and other problems in the world. Going to Dumbys funeral would be more lasting than the footy.
