What skill(s) of the Warramunga would you like to have?

Post by MatereF »

Having read the previous books in the trilogy, I came to admire the skills possessed by one of the characters, Sarah, Jacko's half-sister. I would love to be able to track as she did.

I haven't finished the book yet, but I can say that I would definitely love to have Sarah's skills. She is so fierce and I love how even though she is a super tracker, she still holds on to her girly side. Her and her brother make an amazing dual for the wilderness! It seems as if there is nothing that can stop them! I can't wait to finish the book.

This would be an incredible skill to have! Also I am pretty impressed with anyone that is able to survive in the wilderness; that is a skill I lack!

I definitely love Sarah's skills. She's really good at tracking 😊. Such great skills relevant for survival.

Indeed surviving in the wilderness is a great skill to have, provided there is a chance to find oneself in such a situation. Also planning, reading people's intentions, even when one does not speak their language and, of course, learning new languages (which I am actually doing, but not in an emergency situation like Johnny in the book).

I think with my love for Johnny Cook, I will love the interpersonal relationship skill and learning form others.

Where I'm from, this is very useful and practical skill to have. I'm with you on this.

I guess we are from the same place. It is a priceless skill to possess. I agree with you.

I haven't read the book yet, but Sarah's tracking skills will do me no good as I can't think of any reason I might get lost in the wilderness.

I would lovee to be able to handle stressful situations like Johnny Cook! Remaining calm in the face of adversity is a tremendous skill to have, and one I don't possess!

In every book I read, the tracker is always the person I find the coolest and this was one of those books. The ability to know how to find someone or something with the least amount of evidence left behind is in my opinion the coolest thing ever.

I love Sarah's tracking skills. I don't mind having those skills which will come in handy definitely. She's so sure-footed and an amazing young girl. Who wouldn't want to be like her? :tiphat:

I agree! I’ve wanted to learn another language for so long. I’ve practiced a ton, but typically feel like I get no where! I wish it could be that easy.

Sarah's skills are impressive, but I'd love to be able to master languages as quick and easily as Jonny can. I find it rather difficult to pick up a new language so and help would be appreciated!
