Helping Each Other Out-PLN#3
In the book Mutant Message Down Under by Marlo Morgan, Marlo shows that she wants to use the material she knows about work and give it to the aborigine children. Marlo teaches Aborigine children new things: "I agreed to teach them how to purchase raw material, organize a workforce, make the item, market, and get established in the business and banking community." This shows that Marlo is taking what she has learned from the work industry and giving that information to children who have no idea what that is. When the children grow up and need a job, they will know a little bit about the workforce and will have a better chance of getting a job in the future. Marlo gets every aborigine involved so no one feels left out: "We had a bookkeeper, someone to shop for supplies, another who took pride in perfect calculations of our running inventory." This shows that Marlo didn't leave anybody out and that everyone had a job. This way everyone will learn something they didn't already know before. Everyone will also get the same experience of the work industry. Marlo also makes sure the company that the Aborigines started became successful: "Our company was by all standards very successful..." This shows that Marlo didn't just want to teach the aborigine children about work, but she wanted their company to be successful. That way the children will know that they really can have their own company and gain self confidence from it. So far I am enjoying this book and it keeps me wondering what will happen next on their journey.
