Compare and contrast Murrawee and Me

We read the book called 'You and Me Murrawee' comparing the lives of  two girls who two hundred years apart.

There was lets of ways in which their lives were the same. They both really loved the river where they swam, drew with sticks in the sand, saw the ducks, were swooped on by Magpies, watched their families fishing in their boats and ate around their campfires and listened to stories while camping.

Murawee father speared the fish and taught her brothers how to do it too. Instead of using a spear My family  used a rod and line. Murrawee slept under the stars in between the fires with their smoke to keep away the mosquitos. I slept in a tent inside a sleeping bag with fly screens.

Our lives are very different in some ways but in others we are still very similar.
