    If you think back to your earliest memories, who do you recall being your main caregiver? Most people would remember a feminine figure, whether it be your mother, grandmother or another female relative. Commonly, females take responsibility over young children. In some cases though, a male in the family will take over this nurturing position, much like in The Scarlet Ibis by James Hurst, in which a young boy decides to help his disabled brother learn to walk. In the text, the reader discovers that males are able to take responsibility for a kid when a female chooses not to and leave the child the same as if a woman were to raise it.…

    Belonging - Rainbow's End

    • 959 Words

    A sense of belonging may be shaped by various factors including being intrinsically connected to place; particularly places of birth, childhood or religious and spiritual centres. Relationships and allegiances with the land and with peers within can also directly and indirectly influence an individual’s feeling of acceptance and identity as within varied contexts; personal experience can trigger a transformation of outlook, self-esteem and ideas linked to personal identity. Even within a significant place; barriers arise from indifference and prejudice. Jane Harrison’s play Rainbow’s End explores how minority groups struggle to find a strong sense of connection in a world full of racial prejudice and posits the notion that individuals or groups must overcome significant barriers if they are to develop a positive sense of belonging. Likewise; “I’ve Been Moved”, written by Kev Carmody presents the aboriginal relationship with nature and a specific sense of identity relating to places.…

    Belonging-Billy Elliot

    • 962 Words
    • 4 Pages

    Life requires us to move to new stages, each with its own set of obstacles and challenges which, if successfully overcome, can enrich one’s experience. A significant role in this process is played by familial and social values and external interventions. Stephen Daldry’s film ‘Billy Elliot’ (2000) depicts the protagonist’s growth as he discovers a passion for ballet which drives him to break free from traditional masculine stereotypes in his mining hometown. This similar drive traces the quest of the Brennan Family in the Australian Documentary “Proof of life”, when their son Nigel, a war photojournalist, is captured and held hostage in Somalia for ransom. Both texts illustrate the importance of determination, persistence and tenacity in achieving the goals of personal freedom.…

    I Love Poem Analysis

    Everyone has had a bruise, some of them last longer than others, but they always disappear. Scars, just as Leav writes, leave marks. Both are painful, but one leaves you with the reminder that you were once hurt. When you truly love someone and things don’t work out, you are left with hurt, and pain, confusion, and frustration. “We had no ending, no said goodbye. For all my life, I'll wonder why.” It’s a different type of pain to feel confusion; to never really know why you can’t have the one person you want, to never feel closure. For those who have dealt with never knowing why things ended, they will always have a scar. “What was it like to lose him?" Asked Sorrow. There was a long pause before I responded: It was like hearing every goodbye ever said to me—said all at once.” If you think about all of the times you’ve had to say goodbye to someone you love, you realize that goodbyes are hard and they can be emotionally draining. Imagine all the emotion you feel from all the goodbyes ever experienced, hearing them all at once could wreck a soul. The scars heal, the reminder is there but “Over time she will learn, not to miss them.” It’s not easy missing someone you can’t have, anyone that has experienced this knows and can relate to her writing. It goes hand in hand with the old saying, “time heals all wounds.” With time the pain subsides, and eventually you…
