Title: The Divine Wind
Post by: TylerD9 on March 10, 2019, 10:31:05 am

Hello,

Does anyone have any resources for The Divine Wind? I am struggling to find anything online, probably because it's not a very challenging books so not many schools choose it.

Thank you :)

I'm not sure if you've been given any background material but I always think it is a good idea to inform yourself about the social context of the text you're studying.  A bit of image searching and browsing the bombing of Broome on the Australian War Memorial site will be useful.  The novel explores ideas about mateship, loyalty, racism and community among other things, so you might want to think about how these ideas are developed through the novel.
