You have been hired by Winton’s publisher to do a tour of high schools
in South Australia to promote the novel to Year 12 students, to assure
them that The Riders is, indeed, a valuable text. Using one specific
passage from the novel to illustrate your case, explain why and how this
is a text with contemporary relevance to Australian students today.
thats my essay question...what do i write!?!?

Hi. Contemporary relevance today, huh.  Considering this is a modern
novel, showing whether it has "contemporary relevance today" isn't the most
difficult of tasks. One way you could do it is to search the Net for
Australian news stories or blogs of people deserting their families, or
moving to Europe, etc. Another is to discuss whether what happens to the
family in the book bears any similarity to the lives of your family or
friends. Pick a passage according to what you come up with. Either way, if
you come up with [many/few] examples you might conclude there's
[plenty/little] of relevance in the book.
