1. What picture do we get of Blacky in the first chapter? Consider, for example, his sense of humour. 2. In Chapter 4, Arks takes Blacky for some extra rucking practice. Before this Blacky has given the impression that he is always making fun of Arks. How does he feel towards Arks at the end of this chapter and why does he say to Arks, ‘Don’t worry, we’re gonna win this one’? He feels thank you for Arks that he gave him some tricks for the rucking practice and Blacky still persistent to learn rucking. Blacky is pretty bad at kicking goal then Arks told him about his footy career that makes Blacky’s fire that he can do it.

    The relationship between Blacky and Dumby shows the responder that they do not conform to the standard of racism. Dumby Red is a footy star from the Point, to Blacky he is the perfect guy “This Dumby Red was trendy, he was talented, he was up himself, he wore Jezza’s number 25, and he had that smile.” - Blacky. Blacky was not always friends with Dumby, earlier in the novel he ranted on about how he hated his guts because he is a Non-Indigenous Australian. But later on Dumby stood up for Blacky in a fight; this changed his view of Indigenous Australians. The use of football as a reoccurring metaphor connects the two characters. “The footy was the only place for us and the nungas to be together”. This quote shows how the relationship between Dumby and Blacky can exist through a social barrier of racism. Gwynne uses descriptive language when Blacky is attending Dumbys’ funeral to demonstrate to the responder that Blacky lacks understanding of Indigenous Australians and racism in the town. “Most of the houses were fibro, there were some brick ones as well. I thought that’s not right, they all had doors and windows. I had been told…
