Have you ever been challenged by an experience? Have you ever changed because of this experience? Good morning to the representives of the Board of studies,.... and I wish to justify why the texts I have studied should be kept on the reading list of this module “Into the World”. “The Story of Tom Brennan” by J.C Burke and the feature article of “Sliver Linings” found in the of Sydney Morning Herald’s “The Good Weekend” both emphasise the idea that people are able to come out of difficult situations and see the world from a new perspective.…

Do you find your life hard? In Haiti most people have hard lives, but those people work hard and live their lives the way they can. How is it that living with all their daily struggles they manage to find the strength to keep working as hard as they do? In the book Krik Krak, a series of short stories, the author Danticat, utilizes juxtaposition to create realistic characters that in return create a hopeful mode throughout the book even in hopeless situations. The specific examples that best display realistic characters creating an overall sense of hopefulness are a mother who wants more for her son, a boy in search of safety, and a girl who looks for beauty even in ugly places.…
An internal conflict I found in each of the characters was the choice between doing the right thing and doing the wrong thing. Each character found that peer pressure got the best all of them and if they were to succeed and over-achieve, they would have to rebel from it. Knowing that their family members were rooting for them and counting on them, they finally decided to get their acts together and buckle down. Sooner or later they found out that hitting the books wasn’t as difficult as they made it out to be. They all felt that they had made some hard and wrong decisions because they didn’t stand up for what was right and tried to follow along with the crowd. After these experiences, I guess they realized their reality was what they made of it, not what others attempted to make it. Throughout their college years spent together, the three learned to help each other stay focused and achieve their dreams, leading them into a world of success, intelligence, and happiness.…

Trauma...it’s such a tragic phenomenon. It’s a happening that truly breeds misfortune, insecurities, and most of all just a feeling of being lost inside of your own self...but most would say that if they hadn’t defied the staggering odds, overcame the unsparing adversity, and fought through the relentless pain that they had to endure throughout the entire ordeal that there wouldn’t be a snowball’s chance in hell that they would have come out to become as strong as they did. And rightfully so, for there are no heroes without tragedy. And it is through this tragedy...or trauma I should say that these heroes uncover what defines them and their character along with the methods that they go about to display their tribulations to the world through their own amazingly unique style of art that also…
Good morning year 11, thank you for turning up to what will be an engaging analysis of the complexity of conflict in literature. If you ponder upon it, how many of us have experienced some form of conflict in our lives? No doubt all of you. But year 11, it is the way in which we handle this conflict that moulds us into the individuals we are today. My work in the novel ‘We all fall down’ has caused some controversy in schools simply because I paint the picture of characters who fail to metaphorically ‘get back up’. I’ve no doubt that if you look closely enough around this room you will associate someone with these problems and that’s what I’d like to explore today; the complex character that is Buddy Walker. The thing that really got the critics cranky was Buddy’s escapist tendencies. The reason being that Buddy drinks, he drinks a lot to assist him in sanding down the rough edges in his highly conflicted life, and that will be the focus of our discussion today. Year 11, I would now offer you some valuable advice in the hope that you will learn from Buddy’s mistakes, and that is that in life, it’s not about how you fall down… It’s how you get up.…
Life is full of challenges. In the stories, “Breaking Through Uncertainty-Welcoming Adversity” and “Neighbours,” written by Jim McCormick and Lien Chao, the main characters illustrate benefits derived from taking risks. Even though both people in these texts undergo personal challenges, in “Neighbours” the character, Sally, receives greater benefits from taking risks than McCormick in “Breaking Through Uncertainty-Welcoming Adversity”.…

Every day we are given a fresh start; another chance to move forward in our lives and accomplish the things we thrive to achieve day to day. A new day can also liberate us from our past mistakes and provide us with a chance to change our ways. We are all faced with misery and misfortune at points in our lives, some more than others. We must recognize that it is not the burden in itself that shapes who we are, but how well or how poorly we deal with the difficulties. Sometimes misfortunes can be seen in a negative light; because it seems unjust, therefore we response in a negative matter, and become negligent to change. Overcoming tragic events is what truly counts, for we are meant to live happily and in acceptance that there are things that we cannot change. In many cases, individuals seem to feel as though they’ve lost an amount so great that they are unable to free themselves of the pain. This perspective often leads to further suffering. A Temporary Matter by Jhumpa Lahou and Kiss Me by Andrew Pyper demonstrate a loss of identity, negligence towards communication, and eventually leading to the destruction of a relationship.…

There are many issues which are essential to confidentiality and objective observations. Its important that you keep the observation accurate which means that it needs to be true and not made up, according to Beith and Tassoni "Keeping records and carrying out observations on children allow early years practitioners to pass accurate information on to parents. It means that parents can be kept informed of a child's progress which shows them that their child is being seen as an individual and that the staff really know and understand their child" (Beith and Tassoni (2002, page 16+17) this is important as the observation shows the child's development stage, each observation shows how much the child has improved so it is important that you record…
