Connection Essay

The first sentence in this picture book contains the words “many grandparents ago” which immediately positions the viewer to see that the story is from an indigenous point of view. John Marsden uses minimal written text which may be for two reasons. Firstly the Aboriginal people, at the time this story is set, could not speak English and since then they have never really had a voice. Secondly, the construction of the illustrations by Shaun Tan tells more of a story than words ever could.

For this significant connections task, I have chosen two extended texts, one short story, and one film to study. For my novels, which are my extended texts I have chosen the novel It by Stephen King, and Frankenstein by Mary Shelley. For my short story text I have chose The Tell-Tale heart by Edgar Allen Poe. My film is The Woman In Black directed by James Watkins. As I have studied these texts I have noticed connections throughout and how they intertwine with one-another. My first connection is that secrecy leads to karma. This connection is between Frankenstein and The Tell-Tale heart. This connection isn 't one of the predominant themes throughout these novels but is one that lurks in the background but is always there. Another connection I have made is the destructive power of revenge. This is between Frankenstein and The Woman In Black. I believe this is one of the main connections throughout these texts because it alludes to the gothic genre, and the gothic genre is all about revenge and conflict between two people or a group of people which my texts suggest. My other connection is between The Woman In Black and the novel It. This theme is shown greatly in both the film and the novel, which is the power of memory and how it can be destructive. I believe these connections across texts are perfect for

Connection, defined by the Oxford English Dictionary: “A relationship in which a person, thing, or idea is linked or associated with something else”. We make connections every single day. Some connections are prominent and some are short lived and insignificant. Connections help shape us and are the base of our beliefs and values. For some people, connecting with people means being friends with them, or knowing them extremely well. For me, connecting to someone is as simple as holding the door open for someone at the movies, or picking up something a classmate drops instead of stepping over it.

    In today's literary world there are many different texts that have interlocking literary meaning through their references to one another and to other works. I am going to compare and draw similarities between T.S. Eliot’s The Hollow Men, Joseph Conrad's Heart of Darkness, and Francis Ford Coppola's Apocalypse Now. These three sources have many different references to one another in different ways.

In 1599, the thirty-five year old William Shakespeare wrote the famous play, As You Like It, a comedy involving the complex love story of Orlando, the son of Sir Rowland de Boys, and Rosalind. Both Orlando and Rosalind flee to the Forest of Arden to escape the tough Elizabethan court, along with some companions to help them make decisions. One character in particular, Touchstone, is shown as a funny and witty jester that can twist an argument and provide a comedic relief from the tense plot of the play. His character has similarities and differences to the typical court jester at the time, and also is relatable to the Shakespearean fool that Shakespeare never fails to include in his comedies. Throughout the play, Touchstone serves as

When people are feeling down or there is something wrong with them they tend to disconnect from the world and go into one of their own. In this place they find comfort and safety and it is somewhere that no one can bother them for the time being. I myself find comfort just lying in my bed staring at the ceiling and drifting off in thought. For artists though, they are able to find this comforting place in music. Blink 182, Linkin Park, and NAS are some of the famous artists that are able to disconnect from the world through their songs. They are able to get all of there thoughts out through music and the world has a chance to hear them.

Though constructivists believe that reality is based upon our own individual perceptions and thoughts, Delia’s constructivism theory is more objective. Within the objective approach, Delia’s theory falls primarily under the socio-psychological tradition, but dabbles in the rhetorical tradition of Griffins survey map. A socio- psychological scholar “believes that there are communication truths that can be discovered by careful, systematic observation”(Griffin, 2009, p, 42). It also displays a cause-and-effect relationship that will predict successful and unsuccessful communication (Griffin 2009). In other words, truth can be revealed through experimentation and surveys. This is relevant throughout all of Delia’s research as he used

With my phone on my right hand, scrolling through my feed, I noticed, “How long has it been?” As for myself, I’m well rounded on getting hook on social cites. Actually, think about it this way, have you ever wondered about what you could do with that allotted time if you’re not on your social media or on a website? I take decades or centuries just to catch up to my friends’ posts and feeds. It’s a form of “fitting in society” because that’s just how we live now on Earth. We are always caught up on connecting through the Internet. There are so many ways to use the Internet. (Connect with friends, use for research, watch movies or shows online, etc.). Although, I see it as overgrowing; too many people uses it involving the young generation.

The Maori Renaissance period refers to the flourishing of the Maori race in terms of writing and publishing, which commenced from the 1970’s onwards. This movement was contributed to by the resistance of Maori to the effects of colonisation enforced by the Pakeha; Maori were strongly encouraged to “embrace Pakeha ways” as discussed by Witi Ihimaera and D.S Long in their article Contemporary Maori Writing: A Context (1982). Many works of literature including poetry arose from this period, where authors tended to dramatize the negative effects of Pakeha arrival and intervention towards the Maori culture. There have been numerous texts which portray the Maori race as being a ‘vanished’ or dying culture (Derby 2014). Ihimaera and D.S (1982) argued that traditional Maori culture needed to be reclaimed if the people did not want to end up as just a group of ‘brown Pakeha’, and that one way of facilitating this was to produce Maori writing that featured Maori culture from their point of view.

The painting ‘Rutu has many symbolic details to it that expresses the theme of New Zealand Women’s identity and feminism. In the painting shows a female Figure with dark skin and blonde hair. The female figure who is Angus herself portrays herself as a Polynesian women. This was to show that even though Angus is of pakeha descendant but the artist shows brown skin as a symbol for all the pacific people here in New Zealand. It is to show the cultural diversity in New Zealand. (Arts online, n.d).The figure being a female expresses the fact that Rita Angus was a feminist. As this may be far from how Angus really was but it was a recovering from the mental and physical breakdown that she had. Also the self-portrait references that it’s quite similar to the Virgin Mary with the sun looking like a halo at the back as the female figure gazes away like a goddess into the sea (Arts online, n.d). Rita Angus was a private person whose personal life was kept out of the lime light. Angus wanted to express herself and what she was going through, through her artwork, for example with the fishes on her neckband and the white lotus flower shows her passion for fishing and the white flower represents peace (NZ History,2010). She aimed to express what she also learned about the history and painting in disciplined daily sequence (Paul,
