Teachers and parents! Our Teacher Edition on Deadly, Unna? makes teaching easy.
Pickles is Blacky’s best friend. Pickles has poor hygiene and a bad rash, and he tells outrageous tales about girls he’s allegedly dated. He’s grows and sells maggots for fishing bait but fails to compete with Darcy’s superior business. He is a horrible football player, but Coach Arks picks him for the team every year because Pickles’s parents spend a lot of money at Arks’s store. He makes several discriminatory remarks against the residents of the Point. Like the majority of the Port’s residents, Pickles comes from a family of fishermen and intends to become a fisherman when he grows up as well. Pickles represents the typical resident of the Port, as he is fishing-obsessed, sexist, and racist.

In the distance I could see the jetty – a blurry line floating above the water. Maybe Pickles and Dazza were sitting at the anchor right now, looking toward the Point, telling each other stories they’d heard in the front bar. […] What had Dazza said? Play with fire and ya gunna get burnt. Maybe, Dazza, but not burnt to death.
