Such contemporary thoughts include the idea that imagination is much more than an image or a “mental” photograph, but a portal to another place that allows it’s creator to entirely experience it. A simple image encaptures the two dimensional appearance of a moment in time. Imagination, however, is a tool that allows a person to transport themselves entirely to the place of their own desire or creation. It enables them not to simply observe an image they form, but to experience it. This reading is established from my close analysis of the text’s descriptive language and imagery.
His should are heavy and slouched. He does not wear the “typical” glasses as assumed by our narrator. He has a comfort item, his beard. He seems to go to it when he ponders or contemplates. Robert does not necessarily challenge the narrator’s beliefs in this story.
Also it adapts to the assets of the world. In Ventesh's case, he was an outsider in his environment. His job was not to judge or be a police man in any way. We make our own choices and we need to stay mature at all
RAW is a realistic story of a teenager named Brett Dalton who has been sentenced to three months at The Farm for a break and enters charge. Brett learns a lot about himself during his time at The Farm. While there he finds love, he makes some new friends and he also manages to gain some enemies. The idea that I have made present within the book is that the institution can only assist in change; it is the individual who must want to change for that change to occur. I have written this book in a way that makes an impact on the reader by the consequences of the actions Brett takes in the book and many teenagers in
Inner journeys however focus more on self exploration and on reflecting on our past experiences beyond normal everyday life. The results of these journeys often change us as people. In Shakespeare’s Othello, Shakespeare portrays to us both the physical and inner journey of the protagonist, Othello. Othello undertakes a physical journey from Venice to Cyprus. This journey from Venice to Cyprus, also exemplifies the journey from civilisation to barbarism.

English Journeys Essay A Taoist quote, “the journey is the reward” sums up the reason we as humans go on journeys. People embark on journeys everyday from catching a bus to school to trekking through the Sahara. No matter what, when someone embarks on a journey they are changed from their experiences. This essay will discuss how the characters of my chosen texts have encountered new ideas, people, events and communities throughout their journeys. Les Murray’s beautifully written poem, Away Bound Train, is clearly identified with the main character encountering new ideas.
When we embark on emotional, mental and physical journeys, we initially possess basic attitudes, beliefs and values. Whilst the journey progresses, individuals and groups experience physical and mental barriers which influence new attitudes and aspirations. Individuals learn from others’ experiences and adopt and develop new ideas and perceptions of our surroundings and self identity. Our beliefs and aspirations influence our journeys as they are the foundation and basis from which our inner and physical passage emerges. In the poems ‘I, Too, Sing America’ by Langston Hughes and ‘Then and Now’ by Kath Walker, and the film ‘The King’s Speech’ (2010) directed by Tom Hooper, it is possible to see how individuals embark on individual and combined journeys to satisfy personal desires or to achieve a common goal.
The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn by Mark Twain, The Road Not Taken by Robert Frost and an extract of the second chapter of The Happiest Refugee by Anh Do are three extremely different examples of the physical and inner-journeys. But they represent the same universal idea that life is about the choices we make and the implications of these choices as “The road of life twists and turns and no two directions are ever the same. Yet our lessons come from the journey, not the destination”. The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn is a narration of Huck Finn, as he struggles with self-discovery and the issues of race, friendship, society and morals. These themes are dealt with throughout the novel as Huck ventures down the Mississippi River with a run-away slave Jim, both searching for freedom.
My worldview had largely been constructed with a combination of “materials”, represented largely by the influence of family and friends and media; in addition to my own desires, opinions, struggles and the overarching, undeniable presence of sin. Many of these “materials” can no longer be changed, however, this inability does not stand as an excuse to continue on in self-inflicted ignorance. My eyes have been opened, not only to the existence of theology, anthropology, axiology, epistemology, logic, and ontology in drastically new ways, but also to the massive importance of recognizing my interaction with these areas, God’s desire for this interaction and how I will begin to integrate them into my life. Thus, the following words below will serve to delineate my current worldview; one that will never be finished, but hopefully, will ever be striving to mirror God’s initially intended worldview for His creation. Theology The one, true God is one with whom we are able to interact.
