SECTION B Quote 1 "I am not my childhood," Snowman says out loud. He hates these replays. He can't turn them off, he can't change the subject, he can't leave the room. What he needs is more inner discipline, or a mystic syllable he could repeat over and over to tune himself out..."Hang on to the words," he tells himself. The odd words, the old words, the rare ones.
During Ofelia’s second task where she is told to go get a dagger from the Pale man’s lair, the faun strictly tells her not to eat any of the food on the table, however curiosity gets the better of her and in return the faun refuses to help her anymore, this mirrors the story of Adam and Eve. Also the existence of another world underground, one where there is no pain or suffering, yet each individual there is completely unsatisfied, this shows religious overtones. “It’s a matter of creating a fairy tale that is in favor of disobedience —
Mainly because no one, not even Thoreau can be completely self-reliant, regardless of their desire to be so. Some people must rely on those around them; even children, the sick, and elderly. Self-reliance and solidarity are two things very important to Thoreau's numerous references to an individualistic way of living. Thoreau also expresses a strong feeling of non-conformity. “How worn and dusty, then, must be the highways of the world, how deep the ruts of tradition and conformity (Conclusion.691)!” In this quote, Thoreau states how the tradition of the world is being over-used and is outdated.
Fi’s backpack choices are so inappropriate because most of the things she packed you don’t need in the bush. 2. The importance of the hermit’s story at this point in the novel is to make hell sound scary. 3. Finding the bridge is a shock because the place is so isolated and no one ever comes up there.
Section A – ‘The suffering of marginalised characters in No Sugar stems not only from physical hardships but from the lack autonomy in their day-to-day lives.’ Discuss. No Sugar by Jack Davis depicts how the Indigenous characters of the play suffer at the behest of racism, inequality, abuse and assimilation forced upon them by the white authority. The pain and suffering also stems from their lack of personal freedom and is shown by Davis throughout the play. Davis portrays the displacement and inequality forced upon the Indigenous characters. The white audience is exposed to the hypocrisy that Mr Neal and Sergeant Carrol can drink but Sam and Jimmy are not allowed and are thrown in ‘the lock up’ for doing so.
How does the text link to the concept of belonging? You must also consider the concept of not belonging. “The Island” shows a sense of not belonging through the alienation and treatment the refugee encounters while he is on the island. The islanders do not cloth him (this leaves the refugee vulnerable), don’t give him work (even the church a place with a philosophy of inclusion, rejects the refugee and deciphers him as a devil), only give him leftover food and do not accept him into the community by locking him away from sight in the goat pen. “The Island”, furthermore shows a sense of not belonging when they reject the refugee and leave him to his certain death in the dark ocean because he is perceived as both different and therefore dangerous.
The poem deals with the complexities of belonging and the daily struggles of assimilating. The opening line, “No one kept count” shows the reader that the persona and his family are in a negative situation. The emphasis on the ‘no’ highlights the personas tone which is also negative and the lack of order within the hostel. “We lived like birds of passage”, is an example of a pronoun to show that the migrants tried to unite and feel a sense of belonging within another but failed as the persona still feels a sense of not belonging. Pronouns are used throughout the poem to make the reader connect with the persona.
Skrzynecki use the word “darkness” to describe the inside of the museum which symbolises his sadness. The tone of sadness emphasises how he doesn’t want to be there, he doesn’t have any connection with the museum and Australian culture. Skrzynecki used different colours such as “grey”, “yellow and brown” to create a dull and cold image which create a distance between the museum and him. Also the dull atmosphere further reflects Skrzynecki’s negative feeling and makes him harder to connect with Australian culture. “TO remind of pass/ Which isn’t mine.” Indicates where Skrzynecki had tried to fit in with the museum but the tone of sadness and depression show that he had failed to connect with the new culture and country.
The Nacirema culture, far away and far different from my culture was an interesting experience to observe. When I arrived at the Nacirema tribal camp I had to form report with the members because many of their rituals were held in private (Horace Miner p87). As an outsider, I was not allowed to even see where the rituals were being held. Later, I discovered, the reason I was not allowed was because of my role set. As an outsider I was the lowest member on the totem pole.
