    Task 8‚ ‘BELONGING CAN INVOLVE THE MAKING OF DIFFICULT CHOICES’ John W. foster said that ‘a man without decision can never be said to belong to himself.’ This perception of belonging clearly demonstrates that it is necessary to make difficult decisions to belong. This idea is partially confirmed in the texts I have studied: Immigrant Chronicle by Peter Skrynecki‚ and the novel Fiddler on the Roof by Norman Jewison. These three texts demonstrate that an individual can make difficult choices to

    Chronicle” by Peter Skrzyneckibelonging is thoroughly explored‚ and is both resisted and embraced‚ not simply one or the other. This is also evident throughout the movie Whale Rider‚ directed by Niki Caro. The authors express this notion of belonging through a variety of themes including culture‚ family and schooling.

    Although the notion of ‘belonging’ entails a need for acceptance by others‚ the first barrier one must face is coming to terms with one’s own identity. This essay‚ I will explore two interrelated issues. First‚ it is the inability to reconcile one’s identity that prevents one from belonging. Second‚ it is only through engaging with one’s surrounding that a better sense of self may be achieved. These themes are expressed in Peter Skrzynecki’s suite of poems‚ the Immigrant Chronicles (1975)‚ where

    Peter Skrzynecki’s ’Migrant Hostel’‚ Parkes 1949 - 1951‚ illustrates how in the initial stages of belonging‚ people feel insecure‚ experience doubt and fear and search for friendships to establish a sense of security. The poem is in 4 stanzas and each stanza is more than 6 lines long. Each stanza is one sentence and several ideas are brought out within each sentence. This syntax visually shows how doubtful and tentative the migrants were when they came to Australia. Australia was supposed to be

The last line of the stanza poses a question to the reader “Who would be coming next.” This technique is used to engage them in the poem. It also underlines the uncertainty and
