Answer 1.

Dougy has a drunken father. His sister is the fastest girl around town she is only 14 years old, Dougys sister gets bullied alot. It would make dougy sad to live with his drunken father because his father wouldn't care about him.

Dougy- first set of questions

First set of questions for Dougy

Dougy is a thirteen year old aborigine who lives in a small town with his mum, dad, sister and brother. His sister Gracie is thirteen years old, she is unlike all the other girls in the town (she doesn’t chase all the boys). Gracie has long arms and legs and is very, very fast. Raymond is the oldest of the three, he always tries and steels a bit of beer but their mum would yell at him and then slap, punch and kick him until he has learned his lesson. Dougy’s mum almost never laughs and for that matter she’s hardly even happy. Dougy’s dad only gets to see his family once a year because he travels around a lot. He loves to tell story’s, like the one about the Moodagudda. Dougy is not good at many things these are his words “I’m not real good at reading and writing, eh! Not much good at anything”. Dougy does not have any friends at school, he gets teased by people, even the teacher called him a bag o’ bones!
