    Hatchet By Gary Paulsen

    In the novel Hatchet, by Gary Paulsen the theme is survival of the fittest. In Hatchet, by Gary Paulsen the book binds you to continue reading it until the very end.

    Away by Michael Gow

    Set in the Australian summer of 1967, Michael Gow’s Away is an elaborate play which explores the ideas of self- discovery and change. Through the war affected nation, three families, each from different social classes, depart on an iconic Australian holiday to the beach. In the play, Gow utilises the characters to demonstrate that going away physically is intrinsically linked to their mental developments. With the help of references to Shakespeare’s A Midsummer night’s Dream, Away uses Gwen and Coral to show the significant psychological changes made by the characters during holidays to the coast. Tom throughout the play acts as a catalyst for the change in other characters and is associated with Puck in A Midsummer Night’s Dream.…

    Unwind By Neal Shusterman

    Recently I have read the book Unwind, by Neal Shusterman. It takes place in the future, where there is an abundance of children and over population. Because of this issue, the government decided to create a law saying that you can get your child between the ages of thirteen and eighteen “unwound.” This means that a medical professional can surgically remove your body parts, while you’re still alive, but you never feel a thing. This also means that you are alive in pieces.…

    Victim by Oliver Smithfield

    In this essay I intend to explore the narrative conventions and values, which Oliver Smithfield presents in the short story Victim. The short story positions the reader to have negative and sympathetic opinion on the issues presented. Such as power, identity and bullying. For example Mickey the young boy is having issues facing his identity. It could be argued that finding your identity may have the individual stuck trying to fit in with upon two groups.…

    We face choices each and everyday of our life, these choices define who we are and who we become, and each of these choices have a cost, if chocolate is chosen over vanilla then vanilla is lost. For every choice there is a consequence and a beneficial factor, the decision is presented and the question is are the consequences of our actions minimal enough that they may be overlooked? The story NightJohn by Gary Paulsen tells the story of a young girl and her so called family in the midst of slavery, the girl's name is Sarny and she desires knowledge but in such a time as slavery the cost for knowledge is extremely high, as high as death sometimes.

    Hatchet By Gary Paulsen

    Dear Gary Paulsen: The first time I read Hatchet was when I was in the fourth grade. I have always liked survival stories and Hatchet made me really about how fast our world can be turned upside down. I really appreciate the section when Brian tells how his teacher, Perpich, told him to "stay positive and stay on top of things" and "You are your most valuable asset. Don't forget that. You are the best thing you have.…

    John Mayer's Waiting On The World To Change

    John Mayer’s song “Waiting on the World to Change” best represents me as a person because of the fact that I want to change things and be the bigger person, but I can’t because I am not in power. The power lies in the older generations hands and it is held with a tight grip. My generation is more contained than recent generations because of the way the world has changed. Children now have to stay even closer to their parents than before because it is more “dangerous”. This doesn’t give children enough freedom to become their own person because a lot of parents try and shape their children into a younger version of themselves.…
