I am here today to discuss the two Poems‚ ‘If I was the son of an Englishmen’ and ‘the man from Snowy River’ and their different representations and stereotypical aspects in both poems about Australia and Australians are fair and accurate or if they are exaggerated and inaccurate. The author Komninos Zervos wrote the poem ‘If I was the son of an Englishman’ in 1985‚ and later wrote the poem ‘Nobody calls me a Wog anymore’ in 1990.

We didn’t believe her also because our older brother said he was going to bring them in because we couldn’t. So then we jumped out of bed to check our bikes to make sure there wasn’t any damage to them. We just left our bikes outside because the sun was out and would dry them for us.

August‚ when I was young‚ entailed family trips around the state. In September‚ when asked about my vacation‚ I would say brightly‚ "I visited Mexico‚ Paris and Lebanon‚" and then in a quieter voice‚ "without ever leaving Missouri." Although my family didn’t go far‚ we were always learning. The show-me state attitude instilled at an early age‚ while riding in the back of a Buick Riviera‚ resurfaces each year around this time.

If the government actually cared and made this a law‚ none of this would happen. I think only the law enforcement should have guns.

Stephanie Hutchinson. English 101 @ 9 ‘I was going to graduate‚ but...’ In 2011‚ about 68.3% of students who graduated high school enrolled in college. About 40 % actually graduated within four years. Why is that?

I just wanted to say you were right about everything. Ever since you left things have gotten worse. We all just thought that you were crazy or just wanted attention.
