Digger talks to Paulie's soldier mates at the grave. one soldier says " He (paulie) was a good bloke and a good soldier ... we're all mates now Digger." The soldiers carry Paulie's body to the gate and his family place his coffin in his grave. That night everyone gathers together. 
comment: The soldiers have referred to Paulie as a "mate." skin colour is not important. this suggests increasing acceptance of Aborigines.]]> 2016-04-22 00:21:12 UTC https://padlet.com/jleslie3/February_7B/wish/107132948 4653 https://padlet.com/jleslie3/February_7B/wish/107133401 Paulies body flies in and Digger hides behind the door to listen.

Sue Thompson said sorry then punched Digger and ran away. Later on in the day Sue's mate Cheryl told to digger to meet Sue behind the shelter sheds.  When Digger got there he asked her if she was gonna punch him again. Then he said 'well I better go' and before he left she quickly turned around and fishlicked him right on the lips with two lips. Digger was speechless. He did choir later and he asked Mr Farrell if the queen was the boss of Australia and he said yes. Then he asked how come she wouldn't let Digger be a proper citizen, He gave him detention. No fishlicking for digger for a while.
