Composers utilise the distinctively visual in order to give the audience a greater understanding of the characters and societal context in which they exist. It is through the techniques used as a result of the distinctively visual which ‘paints a canvas’ in the minds of the audience and allows them to connect to the individuals and societies within a text. Peter Goldsworthy in his fictional text ‘Maestro’ and Wilfred Owen in his poem ‘Dulce Et Decorum Est’ employ the distinctively visual to give the audience a greater understanding of the characters and societies, featured in their texts.…
All six dances in the ‘black and white’ ballets are based on sexuality. The male dancers in ‘Sarabande’ are dancing about masculinity, whereas the girls in ‘Falling angels’ are dealing with the issue of body image and pregnancy. ‘Petite mort’ is about sexual intercourse, the name ‘Petite mort’ translating into English as orgasm. The way the girls are lifted in all the dances represents at times the control men have over women like in ‘six dances’ and ‘sweet dreams’, ‘no more play’, and at other times, the relationship between male and female. Not only is the theme of sexuality a motif throughout the series of dances, it is also a defining characteristic of Jiri Kylian’s contemporary style.…

By way of a varied use of descriptive language the short stories of Lawson and poetry of Mackellar show that it is true that distinctively visual texts allow the reader to vividly imagine and gain insights into the characters, relationships and settings. Lonely drover’s wives, Bushmen and fettlers, as well as the setting of a sunburnt Australian landscape are brought to life and into unique relationship, in the visual imagery of Henry Lawson and Dorothea Mackellar’s compositions. Henry Lawson created a strong image of the uniquely Australian bush and the hardships of the people who have lived and worked there. The two important stories which reveal Lawson’s vision are, ‘In a Dry Season’ and ‘The Drover’s Wife’. He draws on the tradition of oral storytelling to make the bush come alive through colloquial language and idiom. Lawson uses a dry, sardonic humor to entertain and provoke empathy for his characters. His descriptions of the various settings are blunt but precise with illustrative adjectives and nouns of a “horrible” land. Contrastingly, the related text, Dorothea Mackellar’s poem, ‘My Country’, expresses a vivid and memorable panorama of place, drawing on a kaleidoscope palette of nouns, rhyme and first person perspective to ingrain in the reader’s imagination her passionate vision of the land and “love for her country, Australia.…
Good afternoon teachers and fellow year 12 students, today I would like to talk about how distinctively visual images from Henry Lawson’s texts ‘The Drover’s Wife” and “The Loaded Dog” are conveyed. The Australian outback suggest a sense of isolation and distinctiveness however provides the responder with a sense of identity of the individual. The Drover’s Wife portrays the ruggedness and unforgiving nature of the bush while The Loaded Dog focuses on the humorous language to explain the outback.…
In 1921 the Orleans Parish Juvenile Court came into existence through the Louisiana Constitution. When the Juvenile Court was first established it started with one Judge but with an increase in juvenile crimes, the city chose to increase the number of judges in the courts. As of today there are a total of five judges that handle juvenile cases. Four of the judges primarily deal with adjudication. Adjudication is defined by the act of the court making an order or judgment. The fifth judge deals with family cases as it relates to child abuse and adoption and cases related to Department of Children Family Services (DCFS).…
Have you ever thought about how “Romeo and Juliet” would have ended if communication was effectively used throughout the whole play? The outcome of the play would have been significantly different, and most, if not all, of the characters would still be alive. Every major event that happens is because of a miscommunication or no communication at all. In fact, the whole play is based on miscommunication. The feud between the two families causes major problems and forms the whole plot of the play.…

The Experiences of living in the global village can begin to challenge and have a negative impact on an individual's values, beliefs and attitudes. Living in the global poses challenges such as the differentiating values of mateship, traditions and the notion of fairness and justice. These aspects are highlighted in the film The Castle (1997) directed by Rob Sitch. On the other hand The article Digital natives, Digital immigrants (2001) written by Marc Prensky highlights the complex dynamics of the ever changing technological forum, students of the 21st century thrive in.…
Composers create distinctively visual images to draw aspects that they are presenting in their texts. This helps the reader to understand and visualise the characters responses to significant aspects of life. The Author Henry Lawson uses these distinctive images in his short stories ‘The Drovers Wife’ and ‘The Loaded Dog’ to help portray the harsh realities of living in the Australian bush. These realities create significant experiences for the individuals in his stories as they are faced with hardships, mateship and love. Similarly, John Misto’s play ’The Shoe-Horn Sonta’ and Ramon Tongs ‘African Beggar' use distinctively visual language to let the responder engage with the characters and their world.…
The focus of the short story “Dancer” by Vickie Sears is the positive progression of the main character, Clarissa, a foster child who gains a sense of her cultural identity as a Native. In the beginning of the story, she is introduced as a child with next to nothing and is portrayed to have psychopathic traits. Towards the end of the story, there are positive changes in her character. The main factor that led to Clarissa’s progression was her developing a strong interest in the powwow that led her to gain a sense of being a part of a family, knowledge about the community, and a better understanding of her history and culture.…
