Conflict-Gone, Michael Grant
Conflict
1.WHAT IF the main characters Sam and Caine were not in the text?
If these characters were not in the text the story would be all wrong. These characters are what make the book interesting and keep you guessing. The point of having main characters is to tell the story.Gone is a book that involves alot of conflict between the characters and most of this conflict reflects off Sam and Caine and when this happens it effects everyone else. Sam is considered the leader of the people of perdido high and Caine which is his brother is considered the leader of coates academy and just like all the countries of the world,groups, clubs,bands,polital parties etc they would be no where without thier leaders,this is why Sam and cain are a crucial part of the novel gone.
2.WHAT IF the whole world was effected?
This would be a big problem considering alot of conflict was created in just a little part of the world(Perdido beach).All over the planet kids will be struggling and scared,helpless,worried and out of control.Without the supervision of adults supermarkets will be robbed, houses burnt down,starving babys and there would be no way of describing the chaotic events that take place.It will be like the end of the world but in a way that no one has ever considered as a theory.There will be kids every where fighting each other for leadership and there will be those that disagree and others who rebel.Food will be a big problem seeing as it will run out there is only so much you can get and without the adults who is going to kill and catch the food? make the food? soon there will be none left. The earth will be unliveable, children will be forced into hiding and no matter what happens just like in the movies their are always heros and villians, ALWAYS.
3. WHAT IF characters were ALL famale?
If the characters were all female this would cause huge conflict between each character.Because everyone knows that girls are big talkers there will be

    I believe the boys are going to be disappointed to find out their on an island and begin to loose hope. I also think that there is going to be trouble later on with the whole group of boys. They are probably going to become uncivilized and slowly loose sanity.…

    1. How does the opening quote from a midsummer nights dream set the scene for the play that is to come? – The quote from the opening scene of A Midsummer Nights Dream starts off with a play suggesting that the tone could be much the same as the play ‘Away’. In a Midsummers Night’s Dream Puck comes off as a Trickster, as Tom plays Puck in the play this could be suggesting that something may just happen to Tom and he will come to obstacles through the play.…

    Away by Michael Gow

    • 1390 Words
    • 6 Pages

    Set in the Australian summer of 1967, Michael Gow’s Away is an elaborate play which explores the ideas of self- discovery and change. Through the war affected nation, three families, each from different social classes, depart on an iconic Australian holiday to the beach. In the play, Gow utilises the characters to demonstrate that going away physically is intrinsically linked to their mental developments. With the help of references to Shakespeare’s A Midsummer night’s Dream, Away uses Gwen and Coral to show the significant psychological changes made by the characters during holidays to the coast. Tom throughout the play acts as a catalyst for the change in other characters and is associated with Puck in A Midsummer Night’s Dream.…

    Life is merely a journey. On a journey, an individual experiences a range of obstacles, either expected or unexpected, which shapes their life. Such obstacles initiate the process of change and transformation. Clearly, through a close study of the play ‘Away’ by Michael Gow, the poem ‘Whither will I Wander’ by William Shakespeare and the picture book ‘I had trouble in getting to Solla Sollew’ by Dr Seuss, the characters experience various degrees of change and transformation. Factors that impact on the degree a character changes and transforms include: support networks and the ability or inability to accept reality. Through the use of language and visual techniques, each composer conveys how each character faces a degree of change within their journey.…

    This is the part of the story with women become involved, or should I say woman, because there is really only one who plays a large role in the story.

    This character is usually described in terms that either appoint him feminine characteristics or hyperbolize his existing feminine qualities. This may consist of describing the “feminine” man as smaller, weaker, and more emotional than the other half of the relationship. In contrast, the “masculine’ man is often described as larger, stronger, stoic, and capable. Overwhelmingly, in these fictions during a sex scene, the feminine character is portrayed as the more submissive, less assertive of the two, and is usually depicted as the “bottom” in the relationship as opposed to his masculine partner. Some have speculated that this trend is due to the all-too-common portrayal of women as submissive and men as dominant in a relationship that is often presented even today as the “natural” order of male/female relationships. Slash writers, who force characters out of their source characterizations and into rigid gender roles, seem to be responding to the idea of ingrained gender inequality in a “normal” relationship and express this belief through their fictions (Salmon…

    Imagine a world with no adults, no rules, and no consequences for your actions. Some kids utopia. But not for these boys. In William Goldings “Lord of the Flies” a mass group of English boys, the oldest being about 12, crash landed on an island in the middle of the ocean after an attempt to be transported to safety due to WWII. The boys eventually come to the conclusion that no adults have landed with them. This is where it all begins. The need for civilization, loss of innocence, power struggle, fear of the unknown, loss of identity. In a world with no rules, no structure, and no consequences, would humanity survive? Maybe all of our inner savage would take charge. Because in the end, we are only animals.…
