Essay Topics

Write an essay for ONE of the following topics:

Essay Topic 1

The author is buried alive in one part of the book in order to remove the long-held toxins that are held in her body - and to protect the tribe from the preying dingos who smell her. How are these toxins built up in the author? Are her thoughts what is truly to account for her physicality, or is it simply from traveling through the Outback? Use the book and provide examples of the kind of toxic thoughts the author must release and compare them to Western society as a whole.

Essay Topic 2

Compare and contrast the Aboriginal religion and culture with that of the Native Americans. In what ways are they different, in what ways are they the same. Think of the afterlife, healing, dance, food, family, animals, connection to the earth, and spiritual life.

Essay Topic 3

Discuss the idea of competition. After The Creation Game is played, the author teaches the Aboriginals Western games that involve competition, to which the Aboriginals do not find fun. Is competition a societal ill, or is it truly Darwinian? What elements of science lend itself to proving competition exists and is beneficial to the human condition? Contrast this definition with the Aboriginal dislike and distrust of competition.
