Therefore, he never give up to find his mystifys burial cause. Richard, his brother, and his best mavin on a journey of self-discovery, mystery and adventure through the Australian outback. In this novel Back to the Dreamtime, there are several main characters, tho I would like to choose Richard and Tom to show the relationship between two of them in this novel.Richard and Tom are full of respect, they do a rush of things together, adventurous, reluctant to separate with families, and also helpful and obedient children. Richard and Tom are equal ages brother, even though Richard was adopted by Toms parents, thats means that they are not natural brother. They showed their respect to each other in this novel. Tom respect Richard and treats Richard as his biological brother. He als o prize Richard as an Aboriginal and accepted him. Richard respects Joe and Sonya, even though they are only their adoptive parents.Besides, Richard and Tom do a lot of thing together. For an example, they were acting cricket together in the backyard and cleaned the attic together, so that they found the aboriginal carving on the attic. The most important is Tom went together with Richard to find his commences burial ground. This showed that they prefer do a lot of thing together. Furthermore, both of them are adventurous. They are courageous to find Richards fathers burial ground without bring along with their parents.This showed that they have the spirit to adventure. Moreover, they brave to face the challenges and do not fear anything that may be will happened on them. In addition, they reluctant to separate with families. After Richard had found his fathers burial ground, he should leave with Tom and Bradley, however Richard decided to stay at Hermannsburg Mission to help wit h odd jobs around. Tom showed his reluctant to leave his brother Richard. Richard also reluctant to leave his families so he asked Tom to take tuition himself hen he was waved goodbye to him. Last but not least, Richard and Tom are helpful and obedient children. Tom showed his helpful when he helped Richard to find his fathers burial ground at Uluru. It can be proved by when Richard said to Tom I couldnt have done this without your help. convey you for your support. They are obedient children because they listened to their parents when their parents asked them to clean the attic, they cleaned the attic without any objection. This showed they are obedient.In conclusion, I learned a lot of moral value between Richard and Tom. They are same ages brother but they dont have many argument. In this condition, they showed love to each other. Moreover, Tom helped Richard to find his fathers burial ground with his sincere heart. Richard also get along very well with his adoptive families. The theme I learn in this novel is love is powerful. Richards parents, Sonya and Joe was confused about Richard. But they still allowed him to go to Alice Springs because they know it is important for him.
