    The most effective poems convey the poet’s idea and influence the Reader’s Response. This is certainly true when considering the poetry of John Foulcher is a contemporary Australian poet who writes about his observation of everyday life, people and places, as well as religious history. The poet’s voice is distinctive and he writes in a condensed style where each word and image is very important and has layers of meaning.

Foulcher uses a range of techniques in his poems to communicate meaning, including similes, metaphors, personification and onomatopoeia. The poems that will be discussed in this essay are Martin and the Hand Grenade and Summer Rain…

    Australian literature consists of many representations of the ‘Australian way of life’ that are constructed by numerous national stereotypes. Various critics argue that the current literary representations of the average Australian do not embrace enough cultural diversity through the incorporation of indigenous people, females and ethnic communities. The representations of Australian people have changed dramatically over a period of time. While the first Australian literary pieces consisted of only one specific brand of person, neglecting women and aborigines, during the nation’s development and the arrival of more ethnic people, there was a rise in the representations of these minority groups. Following this, in the late 20th century to current years, these minority groups have begun to express and represent themselves through writing. Despite the most common representation of the Australian person not including these minorities, there has been a significant change in their representations through literature and the version that does not include them, is predominately used through non-literary works.…

    Australian Identity

    • 1628 Words
    • 7 Pages

    Australian identity refers to how a country is depicted as a whole whilst encompassing its culture, traditions, language and politics. Australia is the smallest, youngest continent with the lowest population density, which often struggles to define its national identity. As Australia originates from British descent, it lacks originality in culture and heritage. One aspect as portrayed by Tim Winton in his narrative style article Tide of Joy is an Australian identity revolving around summer by the sea with family. Danny Katz emphasises the difference between those considered ‘worthy’ of celebrating Australia Day and those that do not meet the criteria in his editorial Aussie, Aussie, Aussie? No, No, No. These two texts help to define the open-ended question of, ‘How do we define Australian identity?’ However, the texts both represent a narrow range of individuals in Australian society and therefore by reading these two texts alone, it is a rather biased view of the Australian stereotype.…

    “Enter without so much a knocking” reflects Australian identity as it is the life of a working class necular family in Australia. This poem starts with ‘Blink, blink. Hospital .Silence’ and ends with ‘Blink. Blink. Cemetery. Silence.’ This repetition of ‘blink. Blink’ alludes that Life is short, and over before you know it, this has helped me to strengthen my knowledge of Australian Identity as Australia has been involved in 3 wars and not to take life for granted as you never know how short life can be. The trail-off sentences have conveyed 3 meanings: they show doubt, rhetorical questions, and lead into the next stage of his life, this is like Australian lifestyle filled with all the hidden remarks that we are always searching for whether we do this consciously or not. 3 of the stanzas in youth and middle age begin with link words: ‘ However, Anyway and Now,’ They represent the…
