HSC STUDY BUDDY 1 STANDARD ENGLISH MODULE A: EXPERIENCE THROUGH LANGUAGE DISTINCTIVELY VISUAL

ESSAY Discuss how the distinctively visual conveys distinctive experiences in The Shoe-­Horn Sonata and two other texts of your own choosing. John Misto’s play The Shoe-­‐Horn Sonata, the short story Gogo Mama written by Sally Sara and the British POW poem Oh! Lord! are three texts that effectively explore the horrific events of war as they convey distinctive experiences of war through the use of distinctively visuals. These three texts utilize various linguistic and visual techniques in order to impact the audience’s visualisation of the main characters and the horrific experiences of war they undergo. It is through these distinctively visuals that the responder is able to vividly formulate an image of these untold stories as the memories of friendship, reconciliation and pain of war experienced by the individuals are highlighted. The play, The Shoe-­‐ Horn Sonata reveals the untold story of Australian and British nurses and women imprisoned by the Japanese during World War II, in South East Asia. The audience’s visualisation of the main characters: Bridie and Shelia and the events they

    The play ‘The Shoe-Horn Sonata’ composed by John Misto, is primarily focused on the incarceration of women and children in P.O.W (Prisoner Of War) camps located in the jungles of Japan in World War Two, rather than the most common factors of the male soldier wartime stories and other masculine hardships dealt with at the time. As the play unfolds Misto presents the audience with various theatrical components to convey the relationship of two women being interviewed to reminisce about their experience in captivity during the war. The composer also exposes Bridie and Sheila’s inner conflict within themselves due to 50years worth of built up tension, the absences in each other’s lives and unresolved issues which later leads them to the process of implementing harmony back into their friendship.…

John Misto uses this visual technique to raise awareness of the damaged chaos that occurred to the women who have been captured by the Japanese.

    Soldiers looked for ways to communicate their experience to those who were not soldiers. O”Brien, Komunyakka, and Owen are soldiers who each wrote a text describing soldiers at war from their personal point of view. O”Brien writes to get others to understand the physical, mental, and emotional things soldiers carried during war.

    I read two essays, “Violent Media Numbs Viewers to Pain of Others”, by Diane Swanbrow and “Hate Violence? Turn It Off!” by Tim Goodman. In the first essay the author states that violent media exposure can reduce helping behavior. Basically meaning that people that watch violent media are less willing to help others when it’s needed because they are used to the violence and adapt to it. In the second essay, the author states that people feel that watching violent movies is a problem and is tired of parents complaining that it is damaging to children. Tim Goodman feels that parents should stop complaining and turn off the violence then through child lock and several other ways instead of getting rid of it completely.…

    Many people hear the word “Military” and automatically think about the infantrymen in the Marine Corps. It’s actually not at all as bad as the media makes it seem. The military has many different branches that focus on a key task. Although, I am in the Army so I will compare that branch to the Marines. Even with the Marines and the Army being ground-based branches and offer many similar career fields, the two branches are different in many crucial areas. To accurately compare and contrast the services, it is important to look at their overall missions and career fields.…

    What is placenta previa? If you've heard the word, you have probably figured out just from the word alone that it has something to do with the placenta. You are exactly right. Placenta previa occurs when the placenta attaches in the lower portion of the uterus instead of in the normal position in the upper more muscular portion of the uterus. Placenta previa is a frequent cause of bleeding during the second and third trimester of pregnancy…

    Passage one and passage two describe work as a stress-free obligation to complete. Both passages send a message that gratification and satisfaction is attained by the effort put into their life duty. In passage one, the author’s feelings towards his grandfather were admiring. “And when I was done, I stood leaning my shovel for a moment, looking with satisfaction down the long path that stretched to the corner.” His grandfather inspired him to get his work done voluntarily with pleasure. The author in the passage was rewarded for his hard work by seeing the jubilant kid’s using the sidewalk for school. He did not HAVE to shovel the sidewalk; rather, he did it for self-enlightenment. In passage two, the author had positive feelings towards working. “I love people who harness themselves, an ox to a heavy cat, who pull like water buffalo, with massive patience, who strain in the mud and the muck to move things forward, who do what ahs to be done, again and again.” The author explains in this quote how strenuous labor is the key to work. The narrator enjoyed being around assiduous wokers. The overall view of work is to push oneself and finish the job blissfully rather than dawdle working with little effort.…

    “America experienced profound changes during the mid-1800’s. New technologies and ideas helped the nation grow, while the Civil War ripped the nation apart (O Captain! My Captain! (Memory)”. During this tumultuous period, two great American writers captured their ideas in poetry. Their poems give us insight into the time period, as well as universal insight about life. Although, polar opposites in personality, Emily Dickinson and Walt Whitman created similar poetry. Dickinson’s “Hope is a Thing with Feathers” and Whitman’s “O Captain! My Captain!” share many qualities.…

    The last writing piece I did was my college essay. It was my final essay in High school which was probably a year ago. My teacher used to always write me comments on the margins of the papers so I can fix them and make them look better. The only type of writing that I could count as writing is texting, I don’t really like to write but texting is much easier for me. The form of writing that I usually like to go with or use when I feel when I feel a creative impulse is the figurative form of writing, because it usually gives my writing an overtone and makes it more interesting. I feel lost every time I sit down to write because I can never figure out a way to start my writing piece. What I like about my writing is my honest, truthful and persuasive way in delivering facts and thoughts of my own and of others. What I see as occasional or recurring problems in my writings is the failure to not use enough adjectives which results in me having to write more than what’s needed; in order for me to explain my thoughts and that causes me to lose my train of thoughts and ideas. I remember a specific writing experience that left me with a failure in the beginning of my junior year at high school. My teacher assigned us to write a persuasive essay regarding a social problem that effected a community, and I decided to go with the Palestine-Israeli conflict. Due to my decision of choosing this touchy and very debatable topic, I had to research a whole lot and learn more about it. This way I can deliver my idea in the best method possible. However, after getting my paper back it said I had an 89% and that made me feel disappointed in myself.…

    When you were in school have you ever came back from vacation and forgot what you have learned? Most kids when they come back from summer vacation they forgot most of the material they had just learned. Or during school students complain “I want more time off”. No one gets excited about school but if kids were used to getting no summer break then they wouldn’t have the need to want more time off. The traditional three-summer vacation should not be maintained because over summer students forget what they learned, the holiday breaks will be longer, and the students will be able to learn more.…
