  1. Strange Objects Main Theme Sammie, Marc and Kim

  2. Main Theme and Ideas • Relations between Loos and Pelgrom and the Aboriginals • Arrival and circumstances of the first white people to arrive in Australia, Batavia wreck • The importance of the Aboriginals, and the way white people think less of them • Living history • Exaggeration of the facts in newspapers to make it more interesting

  3. Evidence • “…the Aborigines were in this country all the time, so I can’t say they’re exactly foreign, just different. The Abo kids from near the town were OK and clean enough, but the ones who came in from the properties weren’t the same.” pg 28, Steven Messenger’s internal monologue • “Schoolboy Stirs Cannibal Pot in Mutilation Mystery” pg 9, title of the first given article in the Evening Truth

  4. Reader Impression • An issue could be the Batavia and the circumstances of its wrecking • Slight racism between the Aboriginals and the white settlers, primarily in the current times • Reporters pick and choose facts to make a better story, twist facts to suit theories
