Brief Summary Of Rita (60's)

During the years from 1914 - 1918 Australia was at constant battle all over the world fighting for the british. With battles deaths always follow. So many people say, “what did we ever gain from WW1 we lost so many people as a country”. Although we lost almost 60,000 men and 150,000 wounded or taken prisoner. After the war the British Government offered ex-servicemen free transportation to some of the colonies, 17,000 migrants arrived in Australia between 1919 and 1922. Community organisations paid for migrants to come over to Australia. Small numbers also arrived independently. It was also said that up to 300,000 men came over from britain post war to live. The British government gave an incentive to migrate over because so many people

Between 1788 and 1868, as a punishment for crime, around 160 000 British and Irish convicts were transported to the Australian colonies. A decision was made to transport criminals to Australia in order for them to work. The decision was made against those who committed crimes. This was a beneficial settlement, which forced convicts to leave their country and work in Australia. The convicts, when transported to Australia, lived a very harsh and disciplined life.

The characters are very typical for this genre as they are all considered potential suspects to the death of Eva Smith. Their traits and speech conform to our expectations in several ways. All characters even if they were not a big part of Eva smiths death, had a role to play in the lead

Caroline Chisholm, along with her husband, Captain Archibald and their children, were granted a two-year leave due to her husband’s ill health after being in India and rather than returning to England they thought Australia’s climate would benefit him more. So, in September 1838 they arrived in the Emerald Isle, Sydney.

Penal colonies are places when some send their inmates to be exiled. It was said that about 160,000 people were brought into Australia. Many Europeans decided to immigrate to Australia and because of this and after a while the economy and colonies of Australia, under the British rule, started to grow (Austrailian Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade).

Within the 1600s the dutch were the first europeans to reach australia, although in 1770 James Cook claimed australia for britain. Australia still had been distant, forty thousand years ago the first settlers had probably been citizens from southeast asia. But it was known that the first years of settlement were nearly disastrous. Supposedly the land had been cursed with spoiled soil, unfamiliar climate,

When asked questions about things we have never experienced before it is hard to give a proper answer, all you can do is assume and imagine but you can never give an exact precise response. So when asked if Australia was a Fatal shore for everyone or if it was a land of opportunity, all you can do is assume and imagine based on the available information provided because you don’t really know the answer because you have not experienced it firsthand. From the information provided, Australia was more of a Fatal Shore than it was a land of opportunity. For both convicts and free settlers life in Australia was extremely harsh. The lifestyle of Australia was extremely different to the environment that they were used to back home in England and it would have been hard for them to adapt to. However life in Australia wasn’t all that bad, for most of the convicts it was a second chance at life and for the free settlers it was a great opportunity to make their fortune.

Many elders of color will share their stories with you if given the opportunity. Stories on how the United States changed their lives in both a positive and negative way. Stories describing their upbringing, family, traditions, culture and religious beliefs. I was lucky enough to interview Rita, an elder of color. From her stories, you are able to see how she has battled with life from all different angles.

Good day class and sir. On the 26th of January 1788 14 English ships carrying convicts and soldiers arrived in Australia. Upon arrival captain Arthur Phillip planned to live with the indigenous people in harmony. Soon that changed, when the indigenous were being killed by British convicts that disliked them. The Aboriginals were thought as backward, unproductive and an obstacle to development.

The population of England and Ireland rose by 1.25 per cent per year between 1780 and 1860 which increased the rate of poverty. So from here they started sending convicts over to Australia depending on the crime or what they stole. They would be put in front of the judge and if they failed they would continue with the execution. This was a hard and long

Rita's Change and her Relationship with Frank How does Rita’s character change and her relationship with Frank alter during the course of the play? “Educating Rita” is the story of a married working-class woman, Rita, trying to better and discover herself by attending an open university course. The play follows her as her character and relationship with her tutor, Frank develop and change until she finally passes her exams and they part. Rita completely transforms herself through her education and by the end she can choose what to do next rather then being swept along by circumstances and everyone else’s expectations.
