Character Analysis Of Arks In 'Deadly Unna'

Because Duigan had played under so many coaches, his answers were very in depth which allowed me to learn plenty of new information about coaching in general and his opinion about the topic. I learnt that there are many different types of coaches, Nick played under two coaches at the same club and they were both ‘the polar opposite’ according to Duigan. One was more of a deep tactical thinker while the other was an excellent motivational speaker. I compared his SANFL coach to his AFL coaches and I was surprised when he said that his SANFL was the best he’d ever had in all areas. Duigan said nothing was as more important than creating a team culture

In Remember the Titans we witness Coach Boone fighting for civil rights, signifying the image of an outsider integrating into a foreign white team as their coach. Director Boaz Yakin, uses techniques to strengthen Coach Boone’s character where the initial hate and disrespect towards him succours the development of a meaningful arc. The disrespect and aggression is employed when a brick is thrown through his house window, threatening him with the derogatory coloured comments calling him “Coach Coon”. The pressure of quitting was not felt and heroically he encompasses the journey with Yakin emphasising Boones evocative discipline and determination forcing integration amongst the segregated football team. This technique is employed when we witness Coach Boone stepping up, pushing equality for the players in a determined strike to stop racial abuse for good. His actions initiate the forced building of friendship and acceptance when he forces both races to get to know and accept each other at the camp. Yakin heightens the themes of overcoming racism when Boone rallies the troops together to support their team mate during a sad time. Instinctively, the implicit segregation is evoked further bringing unity to the team, Coach Boone emerges as a ‘hero’ to both the coloured and white community.

The compassionate novel Deadly Unna?, written by Phillip Gwynne, creates vivid characters and depicts race discourses experienced by Gary Black (also known as Blacky) in a fictitious South Australian coastal community. The novel portrays a typical coastal town of the 1970s and is set mainly in the Port: the local Pub, the Black family home and the jetty, where the local children play. The story explores the racism between the Nungas (the indigenous population who live at the Point) and the Gooynas (the white population who live at the Port). As Blacky is from the Port, he only begins to develop awareness of the racism around him as a result of his friendship with Dumby Red, a Nunga football player,

Phillip Gwyne’s novel, “Deadly Unna?” explores how the main character Gary Black, a white boy from the “Port” also known as “Blacky” grows up by not agreeing to racism. Blacky experiences prejudice and friendship from both the aboriginal and white communities. Blacky begins to develop a greater tolerance for aborigines and their culture, and then he further attempts to apply this knowledge to the intolerant and prejudiced town in which he lives. The boy who helps him shift in his opinion of aborigines is a local aborigine named “Dumby Red”, who lives in the aboriginal missionary “The Point”. Dumby is of Blacky’s Football team and helps Blacky in various ways to become more tolerant.

Many everyday encounters can test our values. In sports conflict is expected, and as skill level increases conflict becomes more prominent. This is even more evident to coaches, as they experience conflict from players, referees, and parents. In my experience, coaching many times I must hold back what I want to say and walk away. One specific encounter with two parents tested my values of respect, positivity, and self-worth. In this experience, two parents confronted me after a game about the substitutions going on on the field, as I was a youth coach learning how to run the bench I was appalled at this statement. In this instance, I related to the barber contemplating what to do, “ What do you gain by it? Nothing.” (pg.15A) I also connected with the idea of upholding a reputation, as I would not want to be viewed as anything less than a great coach, “Murderer or hero?” (pg.15C) My values of respect and positivity helped me walk away from this situation, which further revealed how my character is centered around integrity.

Darcy is trying to say to Blacky that they are different and to not become close to them. He takes this worngly

In Deadly Unna?, Phillip Gwynne explores the themes of belonging and power within this racially segregated society. The story is written from

At their finest, coaches perfect their player’s flaws to push them to their potential ability, improve their skills, and create determination within the team. They can expand the importance of such a sport to intensify motivation and the value of good sportsmanship for the sake of not only their reputation, but the outcome that comes from it. Coaches must not lag when it comes to hardships that comes about; they must stay connected. The closer the connection between a player and a coach the better they are moving forward and continuing on the love of the sport and job.

His role in the story is to be the overqualified man that overlooks pre existing prejudice about money needed for a marriage, in seek of true love. Because of Mr. Darcy’s prestige and money he is a mere bystander at the beginning of the story, repeatedly acting above his peers. For example after the first ball, the mother of Elizabeth, Mrs Bennett said “‘But I can assure you,’ she added, ‘that Lizzy does not lose much by not suiting his fancy; for he is the most disagreeable, horrid man, not at all worth pleasing. So high and so conceited that there was no enduring him!” (10, Austen) This quote and the character of Darcy as a whole is Austen commenting on the english tradition of|high class men who have their life set because of the power that comes with their money. On the satirical scale, this is Austen being highly judgemental in a negative way about this tradition. But that’s the beauty of the evolution of Darcy’s character. He turns from this classic role into someone who breaks social norms by marrying Elizabeth Bennett. Darcy says himself “But there were other causes of repugnance--Causes which, though still existing, and existing to an equal degree in both instances, I had myself endeavoured to forget, because they were not immediately before me….-- The situation of your mother's family, though objectionable, was nothing in comparison of the want of propriety so frequently.” (169,

The novel ‘Deadly, Unna?’ written by Phillip Gwynne tells the story of Gary Black, a young teenage football fan, who throughout the novel develops a deep knowledge and understanding of the racial abuse and discrimination in his town. In this novel there are many male role models for Blacky, having both positive and negative influences on him. This leaves Blacky to pick his own path to follow rather than following their wrong path.

Before his transformation, Darcy exhibits arrogance and pride. Darcy’s behavior at the Meryton ball, in particular, reflects his arrogance. Although many people at the ball initially esteemed Darcy for his wealth, “his manners gave a disgust which turned the tide of his popularity.” (14). More specifically, his manners contained characteristics that were “haughty…and fastidious” and “were not inviting.” (21). Because Darcy’s pride restricts him to dance a mere four times, he further insults the Meryton assembly by failing to interact socially (154). While at a ball at Bingley’s estate, Netherfield, Darcy reveals his arrogance through his rude behavior toward Mr. Collins, a cousin of the Bennets who has close ties to Darcy’s aunt, Lady Catherine de Bourgh. Although Collins speaks to Darcy without proper introduction, Darcy does not conceal his arrogance and shows irritation “at being so addressed.” (92) Entertaining Collins with only “distant civility,” Darcy’s rudeness increases as his patience with Collin’s speech diminishes, eventually leaving Collins with only a slight bow (92).

This assignment will involve me discussing the roles, responsibilities and skills of two sports coaches, Alex Ferguson and Linford Christie.

The contrast between Mr Collins' proposal and Mr Darcy's proposal is highlighted by the proposals’ varying styles, which shows the reader the emotions fuelling the proposals. Austen portrays Collins' proposal as arrogant and rehearsed, and this juxtaposes Darcy's proposal which is portrayed as much more authentic. Collins during the proposal is described as having ‘no feelings of diffidence’ (chap 19). Darcy, on the other hand, is tenser, even though in the Regency period it was rare for a woman of Elizabeth's status to ever turn down a man of his eligibility. Darcy's proposal is said, ‘in an agitated manner'. This shows that Darcy is expressing his feelings and is "agitated" because he is not sure they are reciprocated.  Collins proposal is overly rehearsed, for example, he lists his reasons for wanting to marry Elizabeth, "My reasons for marrying are,

In the film Rising from Ashes, there are many great examples of leadership within Team Rwanda. The most valuable person to examine within the team, however, is its coach: Jock. Throughout the film, the audience can see the way Jock grows and influences his followers to do the same. He began hesitant with his cyclists, but he ended comfortable around his family. Using skills of motivation, power, influence strategies, personality, behavior, and relationships, Jock becomes a true leader among his team.

For Darcy, engineering and science can be described as means to give back to the world. Simmons emphasizes his selfless nature on multiple occasions in his journal, explaining that Darcy had “compassion for the poor” and “fairness and dedication to community service” (Simmons). He was said to use his intellect and education to work for the people without gaining any personal benefit. The most definitive example of his selflessness was his waiving of fees for the water system that he designed and built for
