    Skrynecki Chronicle - Belonging

    Depending on an individual’s relationship with a place, their perceptions of belonging can be influenced, if there is a positive connection between an individual and a place, they will belong, however if there was a negative connection in the past or in the present, they will not. The theme of isolation is greatly explored in the poem ‘St Pats college’ by Peter Skryznecki, as it shows that a negative connection to a place will result in a lack of belonging, whereas his other poem, ’10 Mary Street ‘explores the theme of the progression of time and how a good connection can be warm, welcoming and provide a sense of belonging. With the use of various techniques such as symbolism, imagery and repetition these poems highlight how perceptions of belonging and being unable to belong can by influenced by a connection to places. The short film ‘The lost thing’ by Shaun Tan is also testimony to this.…

    Isolation In John Steinbeck's Of Mice And Men

    Imagine a child in a large shopping area, like the Mall of America with their parents. Their most important task is to not get lost because of the fear of isolation. I was that child. When I was younger my family went to the Mall of America and we got put into a situation of being broken off from each other. Everyone in my group was afraid, my parents were freaking out because no one could get ahold of anyone. We all were flustered because we did not want to be alone and did not want to be lost in such a large place. This led to us crying and freaking out due to the stress and isolation that had been pushed upon us. Many variations of American Literature can directly tie to this idea of isolation. All the pieces of literature we have studied this year have a common theme,that the fear of isolation leads to emotional pain in the life of the characters.…

    Lost In America Analysis

    In Dave Barry’s, “Lost in America”, I feel the narrator was not only expressing his regret for having missed the signs of how deep his mother’s grief ran but, also for a chance to relive those final memories with her as a way of making it seem as she is still alive, even if only for a moment. I also feel he intended for his words to act as a warning to others to watch their own loved ones for signs of depression, especially someone who has gone through a tragedy like Dave’s mother. His mother’s inability to move on or make a commitment to anything after her husbands death were all signs of a deep depression hers sons missed, probably due to their own grief. She was silently telling them she needed help in different ways, unfortunately Dave and his…

    Notes

    Whether or not someone has a strong connection to a place is greatly influenced their own perceptions of belonging. This is seen in ‘As You Like It’ by Duke Senior’s sense of refuge in the Forest of Arden, Duke Fredericks dis-attatchment to others living in the court and Jaques inability to find a sense of self in either the court or the Forest of Arden due to his lack of connection to any certain place.…

    the lost thing

    A sense of belonging can emerge from the connections made with people, places and the larger world. It is connections that influence where one searches for meaning in ones lives and ultimately where one belongs. This is shown throughout the short film ‘The Lost Thing’. When Tan uses “The Lost Thing” as a salient object it portrays the message that not everyone feels affiliated within a community. It is clearly portrayed throughout the short film that the creature and the central character…

    I leave behind the howling winds, the turbulent waves and the worry of my death as I crawl slowly in hunger and pain upon this new shore.

    “Only those who dare to fail greatly can ever achieve greatly”, Robert F. Kennedy. In 6th grade, I failed to make my school’s basketball team.
