Aboriginal Poem Analysis – The Aboriginal Cricketer
Les Murray
Good-looking young man
in your Crimean shirt
with your willow shield
up, as if to face spears,
you’re inside their men’s Law,
one church they do obey;
they’ll remember you were here.
Keep fending off their casts.
Don’t come out of character.
Like you they suspect
idiosyncrasy of witchcraft.
Above all, don’t get out
too easily, and have to leave here
where all missiles are just leather
and come from one direction.
Keep it noble. Keep it light.
In the last sentence, the author tells us to ‘keep it noble. Keep it Light’ I think this means that we should keep it simple and confront them one at a time.
This poem is structured with four paragraphs, four lines on each. There is no rhyming scheme and the author has chosen to use short sentences to let us focus on the main point.

Today one of our members, Saarthak has broken his arm. This means that we will need to get his contact details for further progression in our project. Some small changes will be made but the majority of the board game will stay the same.

I think that the picture under entry 6 on http://pmonline.parramarist.nsw.edu.au/course/view.php?id=2 is about the battle or conflict between inspiring people and inspiriing people of faith.
I think Andrew Johns has courage, wisdom, strength, perseverance and persistence.
Mother Theresa has qualities of love, passion, care, patience and forigveness.
I think that the difference between inspiring people and inspiring people of faith is that the people of faith are doing it not only for themselves. They are inspired by religious people and have chosen to follow them.
