    Belonging to a group, culture, nationality or school all have an effect on the individual’s sense of self. While outside forces such as discrimination may have an impact, it is essentially the individual’s decision to belong. This is shown throughout the two poems ‘Migrant Hostel’ and ‘St Patrick’s College’ by Peter Skrzynecki, and the film ‘Looking for Alibrandi’ directed by Kate Woods.…

    Migrant Hostel Analysis

    The author Masashi Kishimoto once penned 'the day peace comes is the day people understand one another'. It is through this understanding of each other that people are accepted and can belong to each other. This notion of belonging is made evident in Peter Skrzynecki's poem “Migrant Hostel” where immigrants are distanced and isolated due to a lack of connection. In contrast, Skrzynecki's poem “Feliks Skrzynecki” demonstrates one's ability to flourish by belonging to one's self. However, Tim Winton's short story “Neighbours” demonstrates the eventual nourishing feeling of acceptance that can develop from people's acceptance of one another. Steven Spielburg's film “The Terminal”…

    A Soldiers Home Analysis

    World War I was the “war to end all wars”. It was the first global conflict and the first war to involve many modern technologies. In the conflict, the United States had over 300,000 casualties. The casualties were deaths or wounded. The wounds could have been something simple as a missing limb to as extreme as shell shocked. When soldiers were shell shocked they would often have no interest or a bad feeling about something they did while at war. In the short story, “A Soldier’s Home” by Ernest Hemingway, Krebs is a former college student and discharged soldier who is suffering from shell shock. Before the war, Krebs was going to college to become a minister. He enlisted in the Marines and was involved in some of the most bloody battles of…

    A Long Way Gone Analysis

    A Long Way Gone by Ishmael Beah was one of the most shocking books I have ever read. I knew that there were many problems and civil wars occurring within Africa, but I never realized how much war truly affected the country and its culture. This is not a typical war that we envision here in the United States, this is a dismantling of a country’s way of life. Beah’s story gives detailed accounts of things that seem unimaginable in today’s world. The fact that governments around the world had an idea that these things were going on and did nothing to stop it sooner is extremely upsetting.…

    Nowhere to Call Home: An Analysis

    When we are first introduced to Stewpot, we had this vision in our head that he is a tough 15 year old boy who knew his way around the trains. Although most of that is true, we learn that he has a soft spot later in the novel. As you all may know, a tootsie pop has a hard candy shell, and then a sweet and soft tootsie roll in the center. Stewpot guides Frankie through the difficulties of the hobo life, as he himself learns how to open up along the way. During their time on the rails, Stewpot teaches Frankie how to expertly jump trains, bargain for necessary items, how to read symbols, and most importantly he teaches her the dangers of living the hobo life. It’s not exactly what he teaches that makes him look tough, but more of how he teaches. Stewpot uses his own experiences to educate Frankie on the do’s and don’ts of the hobo life. His knowledgeable actions give the readers the vibe that he is very strong and tough, like the outer layer of a tootsie pop. Every tootsie pop has a soft inside, which is also present in Stewpot. For their entire journey Stewpot has been showing his “tough” side, and refusing to go to the flop houses, but when Frankie asked him if they could spend one night there, he complied. Stewpot’s sweet inside is clearly shown to her when he talks about his struggles on the road, and his family.…
