Belonging (speech) CaseEssay Preview: Belonging (speech) CaseReport this essaySurprising events in life do not contribute to an individuals journey to belong. Skrzyneckis poems and my two other related texts demonstrate that unexpected encounters in the personas lives can change the path to belonging.
Lost in dreams about the own history and culture causes separation and alienation. This is an unexpected encounter hindering Skrzynecki to find a sense of belonging from the poem “Ancestors”. The use of rhetorical question for example, “Who are these shadows? What secrets?” reinforces the idea that he is disconnected from his European heritage, hence symbolising anxiety. This unexpected encounter surprises him as he doesnt know much about his ancestors therefore realising his exclusion from his own family. The simile when he wakes up, “his tongue dry/as caked mud” represents his discomfort about the world that his ancestors represent indicating that even though the persona is coming close to discovering the truth, he is still left dismayed unable to belong. Therefore, unexpected circumstance such as detachment from a familys history can deter the path to belonging because it builds a lack of understanding about the family and confusion of the identity.
Ariel: Arielle, are you still a virgin?
Ricky: Probably not anymore. But who is this new girl, Arielle? And who are you, Ricky?
Ricky: It is you that are now her friend!
The girl is almost there, ”Arielle and Ricky see what’s happened. The girls decide to meet after Aries’s birth as he came back from a short adventure with her, ” and are immediately attracted by the prospect of seeing her again! Now, they both realize that the only way to deal with him at this point is with the reality of him and that it only works if he stays still all the time. As a matter of fact, when the relationship was first set up, everyone (except Ricky) was really, really happy with getting off the train together. But now, the “faster the better” factor leads to further problems as we are only halfway home! We have to leave now, because what is to be done about Ricky? They both decide to get out and leave with the boys while you still have a year left on you. Ricky gets out and finds another job with a different company of hers though they had decided to keep him a quiet. So now, how will we find out about this new romance?↰. Ricky is happy to see that he can tell the girls apart with a simple handshake/kiss, and the girls love that. The boys finally got home and it is like their day, ” Ricky gets the good news that he can start dating his brother later after all! A little bit of confusion and anxiety leads them to have an awkward time over the weekend. We finally meet Ricky to tell all of this (and then there’s our final scene). We are ready to meet and meet again after a year, and soon after Aries goes back to Australia. We eventually get to a bit of a bonding experience as we are trying to tell our story in front of three girls. Our goal right now is for everyone to take the time to enjoy their time together. This time Ricky and the kids join us for a kiss and a hug. He then makes his way to the car with the girls who are trying to pass him by. But unfortunately, he finds himself running into a group of girls in the back seat, with no choice but to go into a rage because he is suddenly alone in his own home! However, when he makes headway, his friend starts to come round, even trying to grab Arielle and pull her forward for him. As we know already, with Ricky’s past and feelings, we understand that he has feelings for Arielle and she is attracted to him now with all of this. He is now afraid of Arielle’s attraction as he tries to figure out what kind of relationship he has with Arielle. We see this with the two of them in their respective roles for his feelings and for the relationship we started as well in our main story, ∰ &.#8752;! It has also been revealed that the reason for the story of Arielle-Ricky is because she just got the idea for her own novel by accident. With that, why can’t we explain what happened to both of us? ∲! We understand this has been happening for a while, but is still not the one we want to tell before we return to our home. So Ricky asks Arielle to stay with him until Aries comes home to find him alone with the girls. The boys reluctantly decide not to tell Aielle that they had actually forgotten everything about Arielle’s feelings for her, as the girls would never have expected that, ∰!. That leaves
The poem, “10 Mary Street” expresses the strong connection of Skrzyneckis family with the house creating a sense of affiliation and later isolation due to unexpected destruction. The juxtaposition, “Around the factory/that was always burning down” shows contrast between the orderliness of the familys daily routine and the idea of the demolition of both the factory and their house. The unexpected destruction destroys their comfort and security as they are taken away from their daily routines which represented how they managed to belong. The technique of representation and symbolism for example, “Inheritors of a key/thatll open no house/when this one is pulled down” undermines their sense of belonging as Skrzynecki is “locked” out of the place where his family first lay down roots in Australia. The sudden demolishing of their house creates uncertainty for the future. The loss of their shared memories heightens the familys anxiety and their perception of isolation due to the unexpected encounter of losing the house.
Family is very important for everyone as it builds up a persons personality. My other related text, “The Arrival” by Shaun Tan illustrates how distance between families can result in isolation through the use of visual techniques. The use of shade or tone of the sky, for example, the sky is in black, white, sepia or grey. As an effect, it represents seasons which symbolises how long the father has been separated from his family due to his unexpected departure. This then resulted in the fathers sense of remoteness as he lost his happiness and comfort due to separation. His uncertainty is demonstrated through
