Hello ☮ The Grum Of Grums of Team Australia. I'm Charlie and I'm one of the essay judges for this round of "Project Write World" . Thanks for sharing your essay, "Don't Confuse Me With The Facts"  with us. I hope this review finds you well. *Smile*


This was such an interesting essay, Grum. I had obviously heard the now infamous, "A dingo ate my baby" line, but I didn't know much about this case. I always sort of thought it was equivalent to the JonBenet Ramsey case here in the States or the Lindbergh baby in the sheer scope of popularity related to the death of a child and subsequent rumors or speculation.

One of the best parts of your essay is the sources you provided so the reader can do some more investigation if they want to and also see a citation for the things you're referring to. For example, I had no idea about the Seventh Day Adventist angle. I had never heard of the parents involved in this situation being part of that belief system or how that ended up ultimately being used against them. In addition, I never knew that Lindy was convicted of murder or that her husband was convicted of accessory to murder before it was eventually overturned.

I hate when something tragic happens and a close family member (like a parent) automatically is called suspicious for not reacting emotionally in the way the public would expect them to respond. No one knows how they would react in this situation unless they had been in it before and it has been proven time and time again that people who are in shock do not display their emotions in the way we would often expect.

The one issue that I had with this essay is that it seemed to get a little bit off track of the Australian culture and the prompt at times. I forgot that I was even reading a prompt-based essay. In the conclusion, I can see where the majority/minority thing would come into play because people tend to believe the majority without finding the facts of the situation out. I think the title is perfect for that, and it's fair to say that I have a new perspective on all those dingo jokes I've heard in the past. Thanks for enlightening me a bit! *Heart*


Best wishes,
