Introduction
Mixing of knowledge implies amalgamation of several thoughts and emotions in a course plan.
Story books are good examples where the reader develops several thoughts after reading a
informative story. This happens with me after I finish reading two short chapters of welcome to
my country and final chapter of Howitt, 2001. one story highlights about a tribal lady of Bawaka,
Australia and other book talks about gaining knowledge. The second book illustrates the anguish
that the people of the community undergo and immense discrimination by their government
(Lester and Laidlaw, 2015). The reflection from the first one will help me to understand how to
manage resource for my future work.
Reflection
In the first book author is very optimistic about gathering knowledge through experience. He
says a person’s perception and judgmental power cannot be grown from universal degrees.
Hence resource management helps to position him in real world.
Author narrates an incident related to resource management is that Gee is knowledge enough to
write a whole book but he can’t write too many books to fill a library. The author of the book
relates resource management to a song where he says fragility extends beyond political and
personal relationships. He identifies pessimism as an important element creating new vision and
endeavors. He refers song to be the connecting link for people dispersing. The common bridge
between both the stories is that both the author wants to restore social harmony of native
Aborigines (Kanki, 2019). Author continuously straddles the transition between human misery
and ecological fragility hence he recognize optimism to be the most conceptual tool for resource
management.
The story talks about a Yoinu tribe have started a tourism business. Unfortunately the
community does not receive fair treatment from government. Regardless the achievement, they
are discriminated and ill treated. The author has strong constancy for his self respect. I would
like to do something that will bring them a good life. For instance, they can be accommodated in
Australia where they can showcase their culture to tourists (Whyte, 2017). As a result this it will
be a good source of revenue for them (Leonard and Mercier, 2016). He won’t give up his culture

in exchange of materialistic belongings. He can fight to any extent for justice because they
believe themselves no less than Australia citizens to claim rights. They can be guided so that
they make appeal to government for betterment. However, 3 university lectures have helped
them to write about indigenous people. The author is also very poetic since he finds the realms of
the sun to content their hopes for upcoming day. Despite of so many sorrows, they end their day
just as djapana with refreshments that heal their injured minds.
Conclusion
Both the books confront the readers with challenges that have come along with author. The first
book confronts material foundations of the reality in both respect to optistimestic and pessimistic
reading. The concepts are required to shape choices in reality and literature. The second book
talks about a Yoinu tribe have started a tourism business. He wish to share their story with the
world. I felt that the tribe is very much attached to their land and culture. He likes to socialize
with people across world by sharing knowledge. Hence both the stories have inspired me if I
wish to achieve anything in future; I should remain faithful that will help me in gaining
knowledge and resource management.
