An Apology from the Australians to the Aboriginals

Dear people of Australia,
I believe that you should apologize for all the wronged doings you have done. Long ago you people came and took away everything that the Native people had. At first contact, these people may have seemed like uncivilized barbarians. In order to change them to follow your 'civilized' ways, you people stole their children. By stealing their children, you tried to wipe out their dark skin tone by making them mate with one of your white people! You may call these people animals, but the real animals are you. They may not have shared the same customs or traditions, so what right did you people have to change them? A sorry may not be able to remove all the horrible things that has happened; but I believe that it is never too late to say 'sorry.'

The Rabbit Proof Fence

In my opinion, a hero is somebody who can lead and help others when in need. Molly is a leader and a hero to her sister, Daisy, and her cousin, Gracie. The three girls were taken to Moore River where they would learn the 'proper' British manners and customs. Sick of the British, Molly decides to take Daisy and Gracie and escape from the school. A storm had broken out which gave Molly the upper hand. Covered up by the storm, the tracker had trouble tracking them. This shows that Molly is a cleaver girl who can lead and guide Gracie and Daisy to safety.
