    belong and belonging is a natural need‚ as stated by “Maslow’s hierarchy of needs”. So to achieve this natural feeling of belonging‚ people strive to find their sense of place in the world. In Peter Skrzynecki’s “Migrant Hostel” the whole theme of the poem is people thrown into this hostel searching for their own nationalities “like a homing pigeon” to find a sense of place in that camp‚ Australia as a nation‚ and the whole world. They are searching for belonging. In the song “How to make gravy”

    Immigrant Chronicles‚ Neighbours by Tim Winton. The poem Postcard can be seen in context with the Immigrant Chronicles in addressing feelings of detachment and a sense of isolation through lack of understanding towards heritage and culture. This is expressed through Skrzynecki’s confusion over his cultural and personal identity as well as his sense of belonging through heritage. “I stare at the photograph.” Skrzynecki is a second-generation migrant; therefore his sense of belonging is clouded by a heritage

I think throughout the texts ’10 Mart St’‚ and ‘Migrant Hostel’ and the related texts ‘The arrival’ and ‘house of sand and fog’ the concept of belonging to place and culture is expressed strongly. In Migrant Hotel Skrzynecki talks about ‘sudden departures’‚ people always coming and going and not knowing who will be next. This creates a lack of belonging and place. That same feeling of lack of belonging and lack
