Argumentative Response Assignment
Creative Response Task 4
No. 6: Write an imaginative composition based on one of the following; suddenly I realised it was a different world.
Diary Entry:
You know, suddenly I realised it was a different world. I was stuck in a land of hill billies and bogans. There was no sign of modern civilisation, no saviour to whisk me out of this hole, no sign of educated life forms.
I should probably tell you where I am. My mother decided it would be a good idea to, you know, travel our country, bask in our amazing land marks. In other words travel to god forsaken places that have no interaction with the real world.

I don’t think it is fun. Fun could be an anagram for foible, unnecessary nuisance…I’ll try to think of something better. The monotonous, abandoned township we have landed ourself, correction: mum and dad has forced us to drive to, is Wangattamata. It is the middle of Australia. I am surrounded by acres of sand and millions of mosquitoes. The joys of life.
Mother drags us into a worn and torn pub looking thing for an early dinner. Old men and cigarette smoke fill the air, which might I add, if your ever planning on visiting Wangattamata, don’t forget to wear your gas mask when entering the pub, Thankyou… The dim lighting leads nothing to the imagination. I am already picturing hostile men, angry drunks and teeth not even dentists would touch. I have only set two feet into the premises.
We ate dinner and Mummsy and Dad had a few beers. Turns out the people were really not that bad. About half an hour later the lights brightened. Turns out the electricity had been cut off for a few days due to a storm and the pub owner was running on a generator. There were women in the bar, the dresses in a way I wouldn’t dare but they were polite, welcoming, eager to hear about our stories from the land of the beaches. The majority of men, I can safely say, had teeth a dentist would definitely touch, although there was one man who should have had them all removed in my opinion.
