Earlwood Summary

Born in 1921, young Smart observed the grids, straight edges and vanishing points of Adelaide’s inner suburbs, a foundational interest for his artistic endeavours. Like many Australian cities in the 20th century, the staid and isolated appearance of Adelaide was seen

The aim of the fieldwork was to investigate the management and maintenance of Shrimptons Creek Parklands for encouraged use from the local community. The investigation would focus on the purpose/use of the parklands by the general population, the accessibility of the parklands and the environmental

Australia is filled with many different aspects in which makes it the country it is today. I believe it is important to study texts that explore aspects of Australia by studying texts such as ‘The Club’, by David Williamson, a play written in 1977 about an Australian football club and movies such as “The Castle”, directed by Rob Stitch in 1997, about the daily life of an Australian family when their happiness is threatened when developers attempt to buy their house to expand the neighboring airport. Both these texts show us what Australian life was like in the past. By us looking at themes such as language, tradition and the mateship shown we are able to explore different aspects of Australia that make it what it is today.

This area has been landscaped at some time and is planted with Giant Wellingtonia trees. There are also traces of ornamental ponds and waterfalls.

The suburb of Pyrmont on the shores of Sydney Harbour has been transformed by the processes of urban renewal into a thriving cosmopolitan residential area, an efficient and sophisticated business centre, and a popular recreational and tourist hub. Through my own observation of the Pyrmont area, I have seen how the painstaking urban planning efforts for the area have come to fruition, and a focal point of the Harbour foreshore created as a result of this.

Imagery illustrates that Corrigan is a town that only worry about themselves and positions the readers to reject the town’s values and attitudes. Silvey has done his research to capture how the 1960’s Australian life would have been due to the fact that he has included all the aspects such as anti-intellect,

Good afternoon and welcome to Poetry Week. Today I will be talking to you about the topic of urban life in Australian poetry. During this presentation, I will discuss the poem Tree in the City by Thomas Shapcott and its representation of urban life. This will then be followed by how the poetic devices of metaphor and imagery are used in the poem and finally, I will compare it to the taught poem Phasing Out the Mangroves.

Over a period of time, parts of cities tend to decay in the sense that they are not as modern as other parts or they have simply been neglected. This may include disused factories, railway yards and dockyard areas as well as residential areas. This process is known as urban decay and effected areas are often referred to as ‘blighted zones’ of the city. In the case of Sydney, urban decay is evident in the poorer quality terrace housing suburbs such as Newtown, Pyrmont, Ultimo, Glebe and Redfern, former railway workshops and yards such as Eveleigh in Redfern, former dock and railway areas in Darling Harbour and Pyrmont and former factory areas in Zetland and Rhodes.

If any Property developers are going to take this important area away from us then good luck, because we are determined and no-one is going to stop us. The park holds special significance to the local indigenous population due to a past restriction barring Aborigines from crossing the park and entering the city of Brisbane. This land represents our freedom. The freedom that the white settlers ripped out from our grasp. I’m furious. This is where we belonged. Imagine it this way. ‘Belonging’ by Jeannie Baker. The people made their land their own. My Great, Great Grandparents made this land their own. They lived there, they created a family environment. But then, it all got taken away. What if the people from the book got their environment taken away? The reader’s would be furious, wouldn’t they? Well, as I have just told you, this scenario has happened but in a much realer way. This scenario was not fiction. It really happened. It really impacted on thousands of lives. And after this significant change was retracted, and Aborigines were allowed back in the park, they made Musgrave Park the land that they knew, that was taken away but they regained. So, are you really going to take this historical landmark away from us? By ruining the sacredness of the beautiful

Now the surrounding area consists mainly of residential development of houses and recreational facilities (1850-present). (City of Melbourne, 2018)

A book about friendship, illness, and adolescents told from a very relatable and interesting perspective, but have we seen it before? Me and Earl and the Dying Girl by Jesse Andrews is a YA novel that although has a similar plot to many, brings a new perspective through a comedic writing style. As all books are, it is flawed but captivates the audience through cries and laughs, earning it a thumbs up.

From their Grammy award-winning album Fly, “Goodbye Earl” was a track that led to much controversy. The overall theme of the song concerned domestic violence. By using Kenneth Burke’s Pentad, otherwise known as dramatism, one will be able to find the concept of motive from the characters involved and their actions.

In 2011, 20.7% of dwellings in Sydney were classified as high density. Australian cities are facing a number of challenges, including a significant growth in population, growing housing affordability crisis, a greater concern for environmental issues, transport and urban infrastructure.
