Jackie French does Life of Pi....Story about a group of refugees who want to come to Australia; from aborigines to convicts to irish potato famine to vietnam war to current Syria who all find themselves in a life or death situation that takes them to a dreaming beach and an Australia that is perfect; exactly what they have imagined it will be; over and over until they realize that this Australia is not the real one. It is for younger readers who can suspend the initial disbelief that there is a pet koala that eats human food and various other anomalies we instantly recognise. I finished this book but I didn't really understand the POINT of it...is she saying that we should or shouldn't accept refugees and are the people who do try to come here deluded? It's ok but I don't think the students will buy it. ( ) geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe

Brilliant in construct, compelling and extraordinarily moving, this is a book that speaks to each of us and reminds us that while we mightn't be refugees, we are all newcomers to this country and that everyone has a story worth hearing. Ages:10+ When a boat carrying a group of asylum seekers is sunk by a freak wave, Faris wakes from the shipwreck in an Australia he's always dreamed of. There are kangaroos grazing under orange trees and the sky is always blue. On a nearby beach, Faris meets a group of young people who have come from far different times and places. They are also seeking refuge, and each has their own story of why they had to leave their own story of why they had to leave their country to make a new life for themselves. IT is only when Faris chooses to return to 'real life' and find his father in Australia that he learns the extraordinary truth about the friends he made in the golden beach. From one of Australia's best-loved authors comes a remarkable story about Australia's long history of migration and the people who make up our country. Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |
