Journeys Reflection Sheet
Reflection statement.

Creating my Vlog was a difficult however rewarding task due to the technological processes involved. I under took many steps to create my Vlog such as learning how to use editing programs and various other software on my computer as well as creating a Youtube account. I found the task of editing quite problematic at first but as I explored the program and went online to research how to use the software I guided my self in the right direction. After going online I quickly understood how to use the soft wear. After I had learnt how to use the editing soft wear the rest was easy. All I had to do was fill the video and place the clips on to the time line.

In my video Vlog I aimed to show physical, inner and spiritual journeys that are seen in my visual and written text and how I had gained a greater understanding on the theme of Journeys. In my Vlog I attempt to provide the audience with insight into my poem through exploring the essential message and demonstrating my new found knowledge of language techniques such as oxymoron’s and enjambments. When discussing my visual text, ‘Into the Wild’ I intended to communicate the visual representation of the protagonist as well as the spiritual journey he undertook. Camera angles assist in showing his insignificance within the world by using airel shots when he is kayaking down the remote stretches of the Colorado River and enhancing the magnitude of his physical journey by taking long distance shots, showing how far he has left to go.

From completing this task I have discovered how a journey can be taken. A journey can be taken in spiritual, physical, emotional, imaginative, inner, historical, cultural, intellectual means amongst many others. In my Vlog I have been looking at physical, imaginative and inner journeys as an area of focus. I have personally learnt what journeys mean to me as at first I didn’t have much of an under standing. I now know that these branches of ‘journeys’ are

    Everything in life can be related back to a journey - our character and ability to deal with situations will greatly influence the kind of people we will become. By studying the concept of a journey through a variety of texts, it is clear that it is the journey, not the destination that ultimately matters. The texts, Harvie Krumpet a Claymation short film by Adam Elliot, Stefania’s Dancing Slippers by Jennifer Beck and Lindy Fisher, and Tim Winton’s short story, Big World, reoccurring themes emerge with respect to life’s journeys. Among these are that a sojourner may experience lead to self-realisation and personal revelation, and sometimes, maturity.…

At any point in a persons lifetime, one may go through a journey- whether that journey takes place at a certain time or place, stemmed from a decision or the journey of ones existing lifetime. No matter what or whom, journeys are bound to change us and are inevitable. They offer us development and growth as individuals as well as altering the way we think, act or talk. This can be obtained through overcoming obstacles, achieving goals, anything really that ee encounter during a journey.We often register change as something dangerous, yet we still try our futile attempts at resisting change but at the end of it all, you yourself as a human being would have changed in either a positive or negative way.

    “Any Journey includes both realities and possibilities”, the three texts that we have studied in class, the film 'Pleasantville' by Gary Ross and the poems 'Road Not Taken' by Robert Frost and 'Journey to the Interior' by Margaret Atwood, support this idea as these texts include the protagonist having embarked on not only physical and interior journeys in reality but also imaginary. The journey is known to be imaginary for the audience, but for the characters of the text these journeys have led them to be in a different stage in life, not only physical but internally, evolving into different people or having what become completely different people due to these journeys.…

    Without the challenges and rewards in life’s journey we would not be able to grow and become stronger individuals. Our lives are full of journeys and what we experience during these journeys often change us. Journeys can change a person’s perspective of life by providing them with new information and ideas. We often feel like the destination is the most important thing and never take into consideration what we learn on the way. Bruce Dawe expresses this idea of change in his poems ‘migrants’ and ‘enter without so much as knocking’. Dawe showcases both a positive and negative aspect of change by using poetic techniques such as personification, alliteration, metaphor and ellipsis. Journeys can be physical, emotional and inner.…

    Inner Journey Cosi

    • 9 Pages

    William F Buckley quoted “If all difficulties were known at the outset of a long journey most of us would never start at all”. This quote relates to journeys, specifically to inner journeys with the intention that many journeys are difficult and if individuals knew how difficult the journey was going to be, then most of us would not even commence the journey. A journey is simply a movement from one place to another. Physical journeys are gateways to inner journeys, which is a journey of the mind and spirit. Inner journeys take place when an individual experiences events or is involved in relationships that act as a catalyst to gain greater understanding about themselves and the world. Inner journeys can be deliberately initiated, but is usually the result of new circumstances where the individual changes themselves or their perspective of themselves, others or the world.…

    I ask you, what is a journey? Is it something we merely physically embark on or somewhat more? Well, those who say a journey is simply physical are too naive to realise the existence of imaginative journeys. An imaginative journey is explored through speculation to come to a deeper understanding. An imaginative journey, may be one you read, see, think or relive and can often result in an individual finding a change, proving that without imagination there can be no change.…

    The purpose of the journey of life is the journey itself - not to get somewhere. We already are somewhere, exactly where we need to be and to go forward from. It’s not about the destination/ending point, but about destiny, which is an eternal going forward that is already here, all along the way. It is our manifest destiny to live and learn and grow throughout eternity. Life is often described as a journey of discovery and growth, and the function of the journey is to learn through experiences. The goal of our journey through life is to learn the lessons that life’s challenges, problems, and adventures offer us. The main idea is not necessarily to get it right (or get it wrong) but simply to get it. Each character experienced some type of journey. Whether it was a grandma determined to get medicine for her…

    My first text – Journey, by Narendra Kuppan closely relates by the use of language techniques and hidden messages that are used within the poem. Narendra Kuppan writes “Life is a journey, your thoughts direct your way in the journey.” “Life is a journey, an unpredictable journey, where you cannot predict when you will start the journey and when end the journey.” These quotes from Stanza 1 and Stanza 2 of the poem suggest that a journey is our own. We all undergo our on life journeys in which we make many discoveries about ourselves. “Life is a journey and the time taken in the journey, is the only time for you to reach your destiny,” this quote in the 4th Stanza of the poem enhances our understanding of journeys and that while we are on our own journey, it is us that determines our destiny. In the 5th and final Stanza, Narendra Kuppan writes “Life is a journey, unavoidable journey. The way, in which you want, you may travel. And the way in which you will travel will show your destiny. And so, try to travel in the way by which you can reach your destiny.” This entire Stanza tells us that there is no avoiding your journey but you are able to choose the way in which you take it on and where it will take…
