Blacky's Hopes and Dreams
Great responses 9.5! It was enlightening to read all your hopes and dreams. Some of you have a very clear idea of what your dreams are e.g. play netball for Australia or go to university. Others are less clear but know they want to earn lots of money or live in Queensland (that would be one of my dreams!!)
Thinking about Blacky's dreams, it was interesting to read that many of you thought that one of Blacky's dreams was to play football for the AFL. I'm not so sure this is so. Blacky does not think he is a good footballer and he is not even sure that football is important. '. . . just a game of footy. That's exactly what it is - just a game of footy.' (p102). I think if he really wanted to be a footyball player he'd be more passionate.
