distinctively visual
I am writing this letter in regards to my failure in my study of Bachelor of Nursing at North Sydney campus. I would like to explain my circumstance and appeal for another opportunity to show that I can succeed, given the right circumstances.
On the 13th of December 2013, I received a letter notifying me of my failure to achieve the necessary academic standards and was made aware of regulation 7.2.1.2(a) requirements.

The reason for my appalling academic result is because I had serious family problems which have influenced my studying environment at home. Currently my father is managing his own business which has not been successful and so we have been struggling to achieve financial stability; so my family has been seriously considering whether we should continue our immigration process or at this point go back to South Korea, given such negative circumstances. This is the reason for my failure to study, as my parents were anxious about our future in Australia and this therefore lead to many arguments which gradually got close to them separating.
As their only child, my duty was to keep my parents less stressed and calm when disagreements arose. Therefore, I faced difficulty concentrating on my nursing studies at home. Eventually we got to the point where it was planned I should go back to Korea to organize our basic living environment - our house etc. (I have my flight ticket and itinerary attached at the back of this letter)

Due to my father’s economic disability, I started to work at a café during my school days. I have worked two to three times a week which disturbed my study. I attended only few lectures and tutorials trying my best and keep up with work, but despite my efforts, I still experienced stress and exhaustion during the study sessions which distracted me from focusing on the lecturer and tutorial. Furthermore, due to my family’s negative situation, during my study periods I booked appointments with Academic Skills about four times and

    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.…

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.…

    A distinctively visual text influences our view of the world, and object or a person by the composer presenting us with new ideas and emotions that let us see from another point of view. Henry Lawson is an Australian writer that has the ability to twist his readers into his stories so they understand the true feelings and emotions of the characters.

    The distinctively visual is a prominent characteristic in which the composer shapes a unique visual perspective for the responder to interpret. Using a variety of techniques and languages, the composer is distinctively able to create vibrant and lively visualisations within their work. The poetry of Douglas Stewart, in particular ‘Lady feeding the cats’ and ‘Nesting time’ and the image of ‘’Firefighters at twin towers attack’’ photographed by Todd Maisel are particularly effective. Douglas’ poems uniquely portray ordinary people and outsiders at touching and meaningful moments, experiences and connection with nature that creates an image to the reader the relationship of man and nature and how nature can challenge man with its actions. The photograph deals with a specific moment in time that captures and conveys the powerful life changing impact of the 9/11 disaster and shows devastating and appalling situation to the viewer. These texts not only bring to life others and their experiences but visually seek a connection with the viewer that enriches their own experiences through creating an image of the lively visualisations around us.…

    Distinctively visual texts are texts that allow the audience to create an image within their mind, using an array of language and visual techniques. Henry Lawson, an Australian bushman and author of the late nineteenth century, demonstrates the experiences of bush life through his numerous short stories. Other texts however, like a photograph or a painting, create an image or a scene in the viewers' mind to demonstrate particular experiences expressed within the text. Frederick McCubbin, also from the late nineteenth century, displays life in outback Australia through his paintings.…
