Hey, Rappers!
Here's the response to Rap Point 3!
The Binna Binna Man says that the adults should look out
for the younger people, and the younger generation should look out for the old
ways.
This means that the adults should watch over and guide the
young people, and the young pople should respect and remember the old ways. This
keeps them alive in the way that they don't lose their identity, who they
are.
"There's no-where to run-you can't hide from yourself"-pg
73, Girragundji.
This quote symbolises that the old ways give their people
the means and spirit to solve these and such other problems. It also implies
that they can be reassured and supported by the old ways, in the knowledge that
they will always be there to support and guide their people, even as they are
adapting to another culture.
"You can go off and play your techno whiz-diz things,
but you've got to remember where you're from. You've got to know the
ways of your place. You forget that, and you get weak. You get weak, you die.
Don't forget where you come from. Listen to the old people, with your eyes and
ears, but most of all with your heart. Your elders, they didn't get old from
being stupid"-pg 86, Popeye Bobby.
In this quote, Popeye Bobby is showing that by using the
old ways, the people can have the strength to deal with any issues or problems
in their new culture. If they do not turn their backs on their
heritage.
Have a great holiday everyone!
