Novels are produced for a cause or purpose for readers. The author talks about his own experience or the stories he has learned in life, and then turns them into a text that we can all understand. In James Moloney's 'Dougy', he exposes real-life problems, inviting readers to learn from the issues and problems that arise. James Moloney tells us that children are not born racist. There will always be critics in life and rules are there for a reason. One of the key themes of the book "Dougy" is that children are not born racist. Racism is clearly stated in “Dougy” from beginning to end. It is clear that in the world we live in today we too are still fighting racism. In the text 'Dougy' parents change the way their children see life without even knowing it. Because their white parents speak badly of blacks, white children make it clear that blacks are not equal. Because of this negative influence, white children begin to think like their parents. Children are born with role models and through role models children begin to get an idea in life of what is wrong and what is right. In the text, after Gracey received help from the government and school to participate in the State Championships in Brisbane. The whites became angry and jealous of what an Aboriginal girl had achieved. They started accusing her of how unfair it was that she was receiving government funding and how everything was free for Aboriginal people. “My mom and dad think it's gross…that black people get things that everyone else has to work hard for.” (p20) Children are shaped by their parents and the people around them during their childhood. The children collect every little... half of paper... that's when the war began. If she not only didn't listen to her father, but also tiny, she would have been seriously injured, and many other people would have been hurt and injured by the war. This is why it is so important to follow the rules. People don't make rules to avoid having fun but to keep you safe. Through novels and texts we are able to understand the life we ​​live in and the problems that arise not only for us, but also for our friends and family. There is no doubt that in life we ​​have to fight for what we want. That said, we create our own problems, as the theme of "Dougy" clearly states, children are not born racist but become actions and hatred towards others through their parents. There will always be critics in life around us wherever we go and rules exist for a reason. We are the cause of our problems so we must be the solution.
