Disher demonstrates isolation of the ethnic groups and the regional and urban divide present in The Divine Wind through the beliefs, experiences, and values of the Killian family and Hartley Penrose. Both culturally and geographically isolated from the rest of Australia, the people of Northern and Central Australia, specifically Broome felt ignored, misunderstood, and misconstrued by the urban South. This is an ongoing theme in Australia. They resented interference from the federal government. The North feared invasion from Japanese and argued that Australia would perish if the North and the Centre were not populated and developed. Racism was intrinsic, with the Aborigines seen either as treacherous or lazy or as childlike and in need of protection. White Australians were the minority and their high statuses were a scant consolation when they were vastly outnumbered by a diverse range of cultures, the Japanese, Malays, and other South East Asians. Although, the minority, the white residents felt as if they had a power of the other ethnicities. Therefore, opening segregated cinemas, a Register of Aliens, and a clear but unofficial racial hierarchy. Their geographical isolation led to specific cultures, views, and beliefs on race. The regional and urban divide was evident when Jaimie Kilian’s wealthy urban family arrived in Broome. Jaimie felt entitled as his father was the new magistrate in town, he was arrogant and opinionated towards the regional community. When Hart offered his friendship, Kilian responded by saying “I don’t need any friends. “He walked as if he had owned the town.” Jamie enjoyed having an edge over Hart, he felt entitled as he was an urban elite. “Jamie was competitive. In almost everything you could name, Jamie was better than me…We were opposites.” Hart displayed what many felt about the new family from the Urban South. “I envied him, I was jealous, I pitied myself.”

The decade of the 1920’s was a busy grouping of ten years in America.

Death is a scary thing no one wants to think about it. But if you are a living thing and are human you will die.Everyone around you will die. Nothing that is alive around you today will last for ever. So when it’s time comes, you have to remember the good times and say your goodbyes. “Thanatopsis” written by William Cullen Bryant, “Don’t Fear The Reaper” written by Oyster Cult, “Dust In The Wind” written by Kansas. Each poem talks about death within the poem. They all look at life and death in different ways how to remember life with others around you, there point on when you die how your gone forever. Nobody knows what death is like because they haven’t experienced it. That explains why all three poems look at death differently.
