This poem was a very strong, moving poem. Truganinny was the last Tasmanian person left, she was a "mixed breed" women. Her dying wish was to be buried by the sea and rest in piece, instead her husband had her stuffed and mounted for display to make extra money.
Many people to this day say that money is what makes people happy. In this case it did bring happiness but only to one person, Truganinny's husband. But his act of selfishness caused much pain for many of Truganinny's people because she wanted to lay in piece and he went against her wish just for the money. This brings up the question, does money really make people happy?

Why did the money make Truginny's husband happy? He was stuffed and put on display just as she was. Also, post is a bit short. Unless your post is TWO paragraphs in length you are not adequately responding to the readings.
