    To belong is to be, or have the feeling of being accepted or included by a certain group, person, place or community. While initially an individual may belong to a community or group, speaking their opinion can seclude them, and cause them to become an outsider. Belonging to a community or group can be very beneficial, and not belonging can cause an individual to face consequences. Hysteria and fear can be caused throughout a community by outsiders who don’t belong. We are able to view these experiences of belonging and not belonging through the use of characters and events throughout a variety of texts. Arthur Miller’s play “The Crucible” and Armin Geder’s picture book “The Island” display how an individual can belong and not belong at different stages throughout their life and the experiences these characters face.…

    An individual’s interaction can indeed enrich or limit one’s experience of belonging, as belonging is one of the essential needs of any human being. Belonging can be seen in the prescribed text of Arthur Miller’s The Crucible, Peter Weir’s Dead Poets Society & Nathaniel Hawthorne’s The Scarlet Letter, where the central characters are driven by their need to belong or not belong which is ultimately stimulated by the world & people around them.…

    Having the right personal or social qualities, initially to be a part of a particular group defines belonging and even not belonging. The personal feeling of belonging can be portrayed within various text types it is dynamic and depends on how it is explored and shaped through many structures, language forms and features. Therefore this essay will effectively differentiate the perspectives and approaches to the element of belonging by contrasting two different texts. The selected text types certainly depict the element, firstly through the film ‘Strictly Ballroom’ directed by Baz Luhrmann, which explores the tension between uniqueness and conformity. And secondly the novel ‘The Ink Bridge’ by Neil grant, which explores the alienation and ignorance about a whole new culture.…

    The process of studying the concept of belonging has opened my eyes to the importance of one’s connection to their cultural heritage to a feeling of belonging. Phillip Noyce’s film Rabbit Proof Fence, Peter Skzynecki’s poems “Feliks Skrzynecki” and “Postcard” and ______________(the related text) all powerfully explore the concept of belonging and the centrality of culture through a variety of film, poetic and ___________ techniques. In particular, all four texts investigate how a sense of belonging arises from a feeling of connection to places, with Molly’s connection to land and her mother, Feliks’s connection to his garden and Polish friends, the persona’s contrasting lack of connection to Warsaw in “Postcard” and (the related texts). The idea that an individual can choose not to belong is explored in Molly’s escape from Moore River Training settlement, the persona’s rejection of his father’s…

    Shakespeare presents Lady Macbeth as shy of religion near to the beginning of the play after King Duncan has been killed; this is a flaw because Lady Macbeth shows that she fears God’s judgement; this comes as a shock to an audience, as we are led to believe she is afraid of nothing. She also tries to hide from God so that he cannot see what she is doing. This is evident in the line ‘nor heaven peep through the blanket of the dark’, this means that she believed that even God couldn’t see, nor stop what she was doing. Shakespeare used the word ‘peep’ to present how Lady Macbeth felt confident that God couldn’t see her sins. This word also indicates that she knew that what she was doing was wrong. The word ‘blanket’ could connote comfort or warmth, and could also imply she is hiding form her sins; this is juxtaposed to the word ‘dark’ which connoted cold or discomfort. An Elizabethan audience would be shocked by this as they thought that no one could hide from God, and that he is all-knowing. Later on in the play, this is shown as a flaw of her character as she begins to rely upon a candle to guide her. Shakespeare used the quote, ‘she has light by her continually; tis her command’, this could mean that she relies on the candle as a guiding light, to help her get to heaven. The word ‘light’ has connotations of religion and as Jesus was thought of as the light of the world, she may be carrying a candle in hopes that God forgives her. She may also carry the candle so that God can see her as repenting for her sins. Lady Macbeth was given the word ‘continually’ to represent how she feels that God should always be prominent in her life because, as we are led to believe, he is the only thing that she fears.…
