Discuss how the composer has shaped a visual perception of the world in the text
Henry Lawson and Dorothea Mackellar have shaped a visual perception of the world in the text through language techniques used in The Bush Undertaker, In a Dry Season and My Country .
Henry Lawson use powerful visual language of the harsh, unrelenting Australian outback
Dorothea Mackellar talks about the beautiful and grand Australian bush natural landscape of Australia particular the rural outback. She refers to Australia as her “all you have not loved her you will not understand though earth holds many splendours wherever I may die I know to what brown country my homing thoughts will fly”. This shows us the reads that the love Dorothea Mackellar has for Australia, Australia is not just a piece of land but it’s something her it more than just a land. Flood and fire and famine she uses alliteration to define Australia, as well as Australia being praised is through her use of sound patterns and assonance. She refers to it as if Australia was a person. “core of my heart my country land of the rainbow gold, flood and fire and famine she pays us back” Dorothea Mackellar is trying to tell us the reads that yes sometimes the land can harm us in many different ways which make us hate and we can be so angry and unforgiving, our life and homes can be distorted by the fire or home and properties can be flood by water and our farms and the cattle’s die throughout the famine. The land pays us a back the grey clouds gather and we can be bless again, the drumming of an army the steady soaking rain and the cattle can have a drink.
