I believe for me personally that the best communication that works for me is physical. I would choose physical because I am always interacting with people and I need people to talk to daily. I am surrounded by people, I live in a 7-person household. Every day it’s a new adventure with my siblings and mom. I have 4 sisters and 2 brothers, they each have their own personality. Not to mention their age ranges from 14 years old to 9 months. Each one (except for the 9-month-old of course) of them comes and talks to me for homework help, social, or advice. I enjoy physically getting to interact with them every day. In my house, you will always hear sounds of people talking, laughing and even yelling at times. I wouldn’t

My Jessica has not been herself for over a year. I knew something had happened in the spring of 2014 but I couldn’t put my finger on it. Her English teacher and I even talked about it, how she would fall asleep in class, she could not concentrate on even the simplest of tasks, she would hide away in her bedroom. I even asked her once in July 2014 if Jay had done anything inappropriate. She assured me that no, everything was just fine. I trusted her. I trusted him.

The Novel Jasper Jones by Craig Silvey revolves around a young boy named Charlie Bucktin living in the small Australian town of Corrigan in the 1960’s.

The ideas are portrayed through Silvey’s use of narrative conventions that are used to either challenge or reinforce our values, attitudes and beliefs on the issues explored.

It is a natural part of human nature to long for the feeling of belonging and fitting into what people consider “normal.” Craig Silvey brings this idea into the novel Jasper Jones through the use of the historical setting of the 1960s as a platform to demonstrate realistic examples of racial discrimination and its consequences; the historical context also plays an important role in the setting of Corrigan, Western Australia, as the small fictitious town represents how the whole of Australia was following a corrupt social regime obsessed with appearances. The use of setting, first person narration and characters in the novel educates the reader of the reality of the “White Australia” movement and the impact it had on those of Australian Aboriginal

The novel Jasper Jones written by Craig Silvey has many connections and similarities to the novel, To Kill a Mockingbird written by Harper Lee. The novel Jasper Jones leaves the reader wondering whether Silvey intentionally wrote his novel to have so many connections to the classic, and if so what was the purpose?
