is believed that an individual’s interaction with others and the world around them can either enrich or even limit their experience of belonging. Both of Peter Skrzynecki’s poems “10 Mary Street” and “St Patricks College” along with the 2007 film “Hairspray” explores this concept. 10 Mary street refers to the story of the house that Peter and his family lived in after moving to Australia from Germany.

These three texts demonstrate that an individual can make difficult choices to not belong as well as belong depending on what they want. As mentioned above‚ making difficult choices can also make a person not to belong. This concept is aptly demonstrated in Peter Skrynecki’s poem ‘Postcard’. In this poem‚ Skrzynecki shows his decisions using a number

Kayle Muller ENG 482 Sommers 10/8/13 Coraline and Peter Pan What is the role of a child and their innocence? This is a topic that can be discussed thoroughly and quite in depth with many people.

For Peter Skrznecki it is like being part of two cultures but at the same time not able to belong and connect to either one. In Migrant Hostel Peter reflects the unpleasant memories‚ he remembers at 4 years old‚ when he and his parents emigrated to Australia from Poland. He uses language techniques such as similes to create a sense of uncertainty and not belonging‚ because similes are not as certain as metaphors.

Fly Away Peter Through out the book "Fly Away Peter"‚ Jim Saddler has grown from innocent to mature and even to death. This seems like a cycle of nature. People born and people die. In this novel‚ I think the novel is trying to convey the idea of regeneration than how Jim changed throughout the story. Regeneration is an important theme of Malouf’s Fly Away Peter.
