I’m sure that everyone has watched ‘The Castle’, right? I’m invited to be here and tell you about this movie as well as how I and my team have built up and shown the ideas about the voice of Australians through it.

Throughout this short story, Hunter is conversational, “another thing to know about out there is there is pack of wild dogs that claim it as their home… The story is that a farmer loaded up his sheepdog and her puppies one day, drove out there and pushed them out of the truck…” The main character speaks as if she is trying to convince readers of her awakening.

Judith Bradford and Crispin Sartwell in their essay “Voiced Bodies/Embodied Voices” helps articulate the difficulties of being heard. One voicing their opinions to others is not going to always work as planned because of the many biases of others as well as the social construct of society. Bradford and Sartwell explain the three conditions that allow individuals to have their voices heard. Physically being in a position where one can speak to certain people is one of the conditions. This notion means that if people are physically in an area where there is an agreement being made, they can have the ability to voice their opinion since they are present at the event. Another condition is if one has the ability to speak. Words and phrases need

#Own voices is important because there’s a huge difference as an outsider looking in and living as a minority. It also inspires young writers from underrepresent groups to produce stories of their own which spreads awareness.
