This is mainly evident throughout the campaign slogan that is “No one should be made to feel like crap, just for being who they are” (Beyond Blue 2014) this in itself pushes viewers to question their own personal thoughts and actions and draws in for further analysis on how we as Australians treat one another. It also expresses the damages that racial discrimination can cause and ultimately it is to raise awareness of both racial discrimination and mental illness’.

It shows how the traditions and stories are gone, how the hunting and rituals are gone and ‘lost in an alien tale’, the Europeans being the aliens. This poem also describes that it seemed as if the tradition of Aborigines was ‘breathed sleeping and forgot’. These are powerful words Judith Wright used to show how they Aborigines were quickly invaded and ‘forgotten’. This poem is an excellent example of why Australian students should study her poetry.

    In the story, Martin uses stereotypes and comparisons to label people, however he matures as he understands an individual should be defined by their actions, and not a piece of clothing, their appearance, or status. For example, Martin reveals that he never showed his friend’s Grandpa’s portrait because his “Grandpa wasn’t tall and stately like TV Indians” (Sneve, 1). He compares Grandpa to the “ideal” aboriginals that are portrayed on TV, and he holds an idealistic view on Aboriginals. He believes that to be an Aboriginal, one has to look and dress in a certain way. Through his limited perception, he concludes that Grandpa isn’t Aboriginal simply because he does not look like one. Moreover, as Martin offers drinks to his friends, no one replies as they are listening attentively to Grandpa retell the story about “how he [kills] the deer from which his vest is made"(Sneve, 5). Martin begins to feel proud of his grandfather. His friends, who he thought would make fun of grandpa, enjoy grandpa’s company, and liste...
