Nanberry Response

​- From the Indigenous Side:

• Nanberry (main character)

• Boorong ​(girl saved my Surgeon White)

• Colbee (Warrior from Nanberry's tribe)

• ​Bennellong (Disapproving member of Nanberry's clan)

• Balloonderry (new blood-brother of Nanberry)​

​- From the British Side:

• Surgeon White

• Maria

• Jack Jackson

• Big Lon

• Rachel

​I feel I can relate with the character Nanberry.

In the novel, Nanberry struggles to find a sense of belonging. He can't figure out if he belongs to the Aboriginals or the white man. I have felt this way too in my life. During High School, there were groups of mates that I got along with but I never felt close to them. They were mainly there for a good time but I felt I was too different from them because of my strong religious convictions that alienated me from having a social life. Their decisions and actions I felt I could never relate to.
