The Life Of Ned Kelly
Statement of purpose: I have chosen to write a memoire from Ned Kelly’s life as my text. Edward ‘Ned’ Kelly, an Australian bushranger with an Irish descent, explores the values of justice within a stable government and humanitarian. We hear the story from Ned Kelly perspectives which represents all the voices of civilians oppressed by a corrupt government. Attitudes will be mainly based on the loss of freedom, loss of loved ones, injustice and hope. Overall the attitude of the text is hopeful. The memoire is directed towards people undergoing similar hardships so that they will understand it has happened to other people and to remain hopeful as people aren’t always as bad as they seem.

    Rex Murphy What We Are Fighting For Summary

    Rex Murphy’s essay, “What We Are Fighting For,” strives to outline the reasons behind the Canadian governments’ continued deployment of troops to Afghanistan. Murphy reviews the initial reasoning for deploying troops overseas, then continues on to explain that simply disbanding the Taliban government is insufficient. He indicates that the UN led mission is also implementing peacekeeping measures, and Canadian troops, as Peacekeepers remained. Murphy outlines the ambitious peacekeeping goals and provides insight into civil liberties those of us from democratic nations, often take for granted. The author then delves into the intricacies and obstacles faced in attempting to install a democratic government in a country still under threat of Taliban…

    Speech Analysis: Funeral Service of the Unknown Australian Soldier

    The speech ‘Funeral Service of the Unknown Australian Soldier’ by former Prime Minister Paul Keating has been chosen as the basis of this commentary. It was given on 11th of November 1993 at the Australian War Memorial in Canberra as a commemoration in honour of all of the soldiers who have served for Australia in conflict situations. Paul Keating’s point of view is evidently reflected through his speech. He aims to bring about the development of Australia as a unified nation by the instilling patriotism among the citizens and to overcome such obstacles of loss and demise as a nation. As such, the audience is swayed to readily acquiesce with Keating’s opinions about building a united nation. Keating is successful in gaining such a reaction from his audience as a result of his effectual use of persuasive techniques. Devices such as inclusive language, synecdoche, and emotive language have been extensively employed in Paul Keating’s speech. This makes the speech worthy of analytic evaluation. Keating has utilized inclusive language to a great extent to develop a strong connection with his audience and make them feel part of the speech which would give them a better understanding about his speech. Additionally emotive language has been cleverly manipulated in the speech to provoke remembrance and sympathy towards the dead and stir patriotism among the spectators where they will feel united and as one nation. Lastly synecdoche has been applied by Keating in the speech to represent the Unknown Soldier as…

    response to literature- black snake: the daring of Ned Kelly

    Bushrangers are known to be ruthless outlaws. Many people have thought of Ned Kelly as a villain, some think of him as a hero or possibly a victim in most cases. Ned Kelly has committed various villainous acts or has been a part of scenes where he most likely wasn’t supposed to be. However, Ned has also done heroic acts and has been victimized by numerous Victorians at the time. Ned Kelly had been expected to be a villain since a young age. Young Ned had done many things a twelve year old wouldn’t think of committing, such as robbing a bank.…

    Synthesis: Harrison Bergeron and Ashes for the Wind

    The short stories “Harrison Bergeron”, by Kurt Vonnegut Jr., and “Ashes for the Wind”, by Hernando Tellez, the atrocities of a dictatorship government are displayed as part of the central external conflict. Whether the story is conveyed via more serious, non-fiction-like means, such as the sad tale of a struggling family in Colombia, in “Ashes for the Wind”, or a more outlandish counterpart, in “Harrison Bergeron”, a corrupt government ultimately causes more problems to arise. Setting aside the obvious differences in the characters, plot, and setting, we see an essential element in the conflict of both stories – the protagonist defies the government, and must face the repercussions.…

    Ned Kelly a hero or a villain?

    Ned was just 16 when he was convicted of receiving a stolen horse and served three years in gaol before being released in 1874. Whether or not he was set for a life of crime is hard to say, but one event had a dramatic effect on determining his future and that was in April 1878. A police officer called Fitzpatrick accused Ned's mother of attacking him and Ned of shooting him in the wrist. But whatever actually happened, the end result of Fitzpatrick's claims was that Mrs Kelly was sent to prison for three years and a one hundred pound reward was offered for the capture of Ned. From that, time on Ned and his brother Dan kept to the bush. On the 26th October 1878, together with friends, Joe Byrne and Steve Hart, they came across police camped at Stringy Bark Creek. Ned believed the police intended to kill him and Dan so he called on them to surrender. Nevertheless, three of the officers resisted, and in the fight that followed their death.…

    Gallipoli Film Analysis

    The 2005 documentary Gallipoli by Turkish filmmaker Tolga Ornek is a graphic examination of the disastrous Gallipoli campaign told by both sides. The story is explored through primary resources such as personal diaries and letters. By using exerpts from the diaries and letters of the soldiers living the experience, the documentary allows these young men a voice which reaches through history to tell us of the hopes they had, the betrayal they felt and the misery they suffered. This is not done in grandiose rhetoric but rather with the matter -of -fact simple language of ordinary men writing letters home or writing in their diaries. The documentary focuses on the experiences of ten men (two Turks, three Australians, three New Zealanders and two from Britain) who represent the range of the soldiers present on both sides of the battle. Their stories are illustrated with photographs taken of the actual events by both official war…

    1984 Text Response

    The reoccurring destruction and falsification of the past in records, literature and in the media deprives the citizens of Oceania the right to their own individual memories and ultimately, a life story. The constant bombardment of ill admitting “alteration[s]” made by the Party leaves the people of Oceania confused and manipulated in such a way that any conflicting information stated by the Party is erased in their minds; leaving them with little to no memories of their past. The motive for this removal of truth is to destroy any evidence that contradicts or conflicts with what the Party or Big Brother has enforced or stated. This deceitful and dehumanising act is carried out by Winston and other workers at the Ministry of Truth. Despite his hate for the Party, Winston considers this callous act as “merely the substitution of one piece of nonsense for another”; but knows deep down that if it carries on, history would become “a palimpsest, scraped clean and re-inscribed exactly as often as was necessary”. This leads to the psychological incapability of holding a memory of some truth and meaning; which in turn denies people of their identities.…

    Acceptance Persuasive Essay: Change

    “The first step towards change is awareness,” stated Nathaniel Branden, “The second step is acceptance.” Branden’s words verbalize how a lack of awareness and acceptance can help change. Change is a necessity in human life, hand in hand with a human need to adapt. This awareness and acceptance is explored in works like “Universal Declaration of Human Rights,” written by the United Nations General Assembly, “Towards a True Refuge,” by Aung San Suu Kyi, and the documentary “My So-Called Enemy,” directed by Lisa Gossels.…

    In spite of the fact that Cambodia genocide causes so many people’s death, I learned that there are always some hopes and chances to escape from endless nightmare. For example, as I watched “The Killing Field”, Khmer Rouge totally conquered Cambodia and Sydney and Pran were exposed to the dangerous situation. Because Sydney is a foreigner, he could just transport to The US to escape. But Pran couldn’t. To deceive a customs house, Sydney and Pran decided to make a fake passport. However, their full of efforts were in vain. If you only heard these sentences, you may come up with only sorrow and sadness images in your mind. Indeed, Sydney and Pran were frustrated. They also shared their happiness and support their each other lives. I learned that human right spirit never loses against evil dictator spirit. The visual media had strong power to teach us and give us real genocides.…
