    Bruce Dawe’s texts Drifters and Last Seen 12:10am, convey different journeys that offer challenges and insights. Journeys can be defined as an act of travelling from one place to another. The physical journey evident in Drifters places emphasis on the fact that journeys can be forced. The text Last Seen 12:10am depicts that journeys can be inner struggle and offer challenges that bring uncertainty and fear. Hence it is evident that these two texts by Dawe demonstrate challenges and insights that travellers can have on a journey.…

    A physical journey which involves the movement from one place to another can have lasting effects on an individual or group which can be mental, emotional, physical, or a combination. The effects and overall impact of a journey will depend on the characteristics of the particular journey undertaken. The composers of different texts all employ a number of different techniques to convey, to the reader, their ideas about a journey and the impact that the journey being taken may have on an individual or group. We see the different techniques employed by composers through Peter Skrzynecki’s Crossing the Red Sea and Immigrants at Central Station, Shirley Geok-lin Lims The Town Where Time Stands Still and The Wind in the Willows by Kenneth Graham.…

On the day of the exam, only ONE of the below questions will appear and you must answer that specific question. You may prepare your response, however no prepared notes will be permitted for use on the day of the task. You will have 40 minutes to complete this task in class.Essay Questions 1) A journey is only valuable if it challenges our assumptions and allows us to develop spiritually or emotionally. To what extent is this perspective represented in texts you have studied? 2) Journeys are random and haphazard by nature. Any lessons taken from the journey come from our ability to create a personal relevance regarding experiences. Compare how this perspective of journeys is explored in texts you have studied. 3) Location is irrelevant. It is through power of the imagination or in the inner realms of travellers’ minds where the true ‘journey’ takes place. Discuss. All questions must be answered with reference to TWO texts from your journeys stimulus booklet and ONE related text of your own choosing.…
