She then goes on to describe a list of countries that this teacher has introduced her too, using full stops after each country to highlight their significance, as if the country is magical to her, that the teacher has shown her a new light to learning. The countries she has listed have are quite complex for a child's mind and its a subtle way to show how education does get more intricate as we grow older. In the second half of the first paragraph she tells the reader that when her break time starts that all the fantasy's and dreams during the geography lesson have been forgotten and she runs off to play, and she's in her happy place, school.

As a result of our varied cultural backgrounds, we could have potential conflicts. To avoid these conflicts, I must employ several communication strategies to communicate competently. This ultimately involves forming a deep understanding of the groups represented in the audience, as well as identifying and being sensitive to the norms and values of these groups. Then, I must cater the aim and information in the presentation to the audience to make it more relevant and important to the groups.

We have to understand ourselves before we can truly belong. It is nearly impossible to feel a sense of belonging without understand oneself first as the knowledge of who you are determines where you feel you belong. Self assurance, acceptance and perception can arise from many different facets of life; family, culture, place and similar people, so in order for someone to start to feel a sense of belonging, it is essential that they connect with those aspects of their life first. In Peter Skrzynecki’s Immigrant Chronicle, he explores the difficulties of himself and other immigrants like himself in the poems ‘Migrant Hostel,’ ’10 Mary Street,’ and ‘Feliks Skzrynecki’ whilst trying to not only belong in a world where they were pre-determined to struggle to fit into based on their different culture but also understand who they truly are because of the struggle they endured. Ernest Hemingway’s ‘A Clean, Well-Lighted Place’ expresses the internal desire of having a place where you can be yourself and belong.
BELONGING ESSAY Belonging is shaped by the attitudes and perceptions of the individual, as well as the norms and expectations of society. Although the road to understanding one’s identity, worth and connection can be a struggle, ultimately we all need to confront the nature of our belonging, as a result of our inherent and innate desire to feel connected with the world and its people. The challenges in coming to terms with one’s identity and belonging, and the necessity of this process, are explored in “Felix Skrzynecki”, “Post Card”, “A Place To Call Home” and “The Myth Of Belonging Masks Our Insecurity”. A comparison between a strong sense of belonging and confusion over one’s identity is made in Skrzynecki’s poem “Feliks Skrzynecki”. The metaphor “kept pace with the Joneses of his own mind’s making” shows how Feliks’ sense of identity is closely linked to his
Belonging is a process or journey undertaken subconsciously by an individual to find a sense of connectedness and place within the world. Although people have an automatic desire to belong, there are often barriers, both physical and metaphorical, that can prevent one from belonging. This concept is central throughout Melina Marchetta’s, “Looking for Alibrandi,” Tim Winton’s, “Neighbours” and Gurinder Chadha’s, “Bend It like Beckham.” Just like the three texts, this visual representation will eventually demonstrate how the obstacles of belonging can be overcome over a period of time. Marchetta’s novel, Looking for Alibrandi, follows the personal story of a young, teenage, Italian, school girl living in a contemporary Australian society, Josephine.
A sense of belonging is achieved when one feels accepted and included. Belonging is according to Maslows hierarchy of needs, an essential human need. The process toward belonging may be difficult, however, with individuals and groups facing significant barriers. These ideas are represented clearly in the texts “ Rainbows End” the 2005 play by Jane Harrison and the short illustrated story “ Neighbors “ by Tim Winton. Each of the texts explore belonging and alienation in terms of culture, place and relationships help develop the audiences understanding of belonging as a complex experience which is formed over time.
Discoveries vary for each individual and help shape an individual’s life and perspective giving a deeper understanding of themselves, others and the world. The play ‘Away’ by Michael Gow and Alan Baillie’s short story ‘The Champion’ both explore the difficulties of communication and interaction between characters and the obstacles they have to overcome in order to make self- discoveries. Both texts use dramatic and literary techniques in different ways yet both highlight that discovery is a process and broadens an individual’s perspective on life. The characters in ‘Away’ all experience grief and hardship and through their interactions with each other they discover a new perspective and purpose in life. The characters Roy and Coral deal with
