No Sugar Jack Davis Analysis

Surgeon White's character has been established as selfless, brave, kind but above all others courageous by eating and exploring all of the different types of foods in Australia for the convicts to eat. Even though Surgeon White is not impressed by the new colony and many years until he returns to England or to have a ‘normal’ family life he still cares for the colony, he establishes a home in Port Jackson with his servant Maria, his native Nanberry, his son Andrew, his mistress Rachel and a pet o’possum. Surgeon White shows Isolation when Surgeon states “I’m lonely, thought the Surgeon. Deep, bone-deep lonely.” via the use of the metaphor “Bone deep”, it shows the reader how isolated and confined the surgeon actually is compared to everyone else that came on the first fleet. In the text surgeon is described as a one of a kind because there are no other doctors that came on the first fleet leading him to feel ‘stray from the crowd’. Another example of isolation is when Surgeon states “His father believed that nothing could come from New South Wales but dirt and squalor, that it was merely a huddle of captives at the bottom of the world” the use of a metaphor is to shows how isolated and lonely the surgeon felt when he was in Australia, The surgeon felt complete despair and there was no hope for the British to colonize Australia. Throughout the life of Surgeon White and the examples shown throughout the text of ‘Nanberry’, White Jackie French portrays colonial life as Isolated and

The main purpose of the article written by Gerald Jones is to change the public perception of violent media for kids. He argues for this by saying violent media can actually have positive effects on young people because a violent media help the young people to gain self-knowledge and sense of potency through heroic combative storytelling. In addition to this, when young people are growing, watching a media action full pool of blood, killing, stabbing, screams of agony and pleas for mercy help them pull out of the emotional trap by plunging themselves into violent story. Jones also believes that violent media are a positive influence on children because pretend to have a superhuman power helps children defeat the feeling of impotent that inescapably

King of blue is one of the most famous jazz record by Miles Davis and also the bestselling one. I chose to listen to records from king of blue such as so what, blue in green and all blues; I was not really into to it until I heard all blues, it was just a perfect example of jazz music, it had all the characteristic and it is that kind of music that take you to the actual era and setting of the music, was very moving and powerful. So for that case I enjoyed his music.

* What aspects of Aboriginal life during the Depression do you think Joe represents? Explain an incident from the play that illustrates this.

In the novel Into the Wild by Jon Krakauer, Chris McCandless takes a wild journey. Although some believe that his journey and thought process was noble and courageous, he was actually extremely fatuous throughout his journey. Many people that Chris met along the way made remarkable attempts at making him aware of the dangers that he would surely face in Alaska. Chris McCandless knowingly stepped into the treacherous wild without being prepared for what reality would throw his way.

In No Sugar, Jack Davis presents the tension of relations between the Aborigines and the Caucasians through the use of dialogue, actions and the record of history on both sides. As witnessed in the quote “Native Protector, couldn’t protect my dog from fleas”, the sarcastic remarks of Aborigine Jimmy Munday contain a bitterness against the whites that etches deeper than their humour. The pithy honesty of his insights is then illuminated by Davis’s attribution of various actions by the white leaders in the play towards the Aborigines. Finally Davis turns to accounts of the past, both written and oral, which act as bedrock to the sands of the present plot unfolding on the

In the book Into the Wild the main character, Chris Mccandless, made a rational decision to exclude himself from human society because he believed that going beyond what his parents and society wanted he would live a happier life. Chris wanted to leave society and venture into the wilderness to find the true meaning of who he was. Chris Mccandless was neither crazy or ignorant to live off in the wild where there was no people or anything to interact with but nature. Chris wanted to find his inner self and not only was he a role model for kids all across the country but he also followed his dream. Even though it was selfish of him to leave his family, Chris Mccandless is not crazy because he followed his dream, lived his life the way he wanted to, and went into the wild to find who he truly was.

The media text Brisbane Tent Embassy battle goes on as Elder stands up for his sovereign rights by the National Indigenous Times News and the play Honey Spot by Jack Davis both incorporate themes of racism towards Indigenous Australians. The play deals with fictional events concerning tension between Anglo-Europeans and Indigenous Australians which are based on existing events, such as the event described in the media text. This was about an Indigenous man who was arrested for legally participating in his cultural practices, a theme which was touched on in the play also. The two written texts both explore similar themes involving Indigenous rights and discrimination against Indigenous Australians. Such similar themes are the traditional land use practices which the Indigenous Australians aren’t allowed to partake in, the conscious and subconscious racism displayed by the Anglo-Europeans, and how racial differences create issues in society.

Taylor's play, directed by Jim Millan, is a dual perspective story that alternates between two settings. The first set of the two is based in the 19th century, the era of Canada’s first Prime Minister, Sir John A Macdonald. In this setting, a problematic and alcohol-fueled Sir John A., played exceptionally well by Martin Julien, is seen reiterating his life story and more importantly his utter distaste for “Indians.” The second setting is based in modern-day Canada, where we are given a brief glimpse into life on a reserve, more specifically Buddy’s life. Buddy, played by Darrell Dennis, is an exasperated Anishinaabe individual who wants nothing more than to remove his late grandfather’s medicine bundle from the British Museum where it sits and

The piece chosen was created by Kara Walker(1969-). The intensely large sculpture created at seventy-five feet long, thirty-five feet tall with the width is unknown sculpture is known as “A Subtlety, or the Marvelous Sugar Baby” This piece was created at closed down Domino Sugar factory. In addition to the usage of space, Walker also used a sugary paste donated by Domino Sugar to create the exterior layer of the sculpture. This piece was created similar to a replica of The Sphinx. While the shape and form of the “Marvelous Sugar Baby” is similar to The Sphinx, resting on its appendages, the sculptures are quite different. Unlike the Sphinx, Walker’s piece was created with the features of an African woman wearing a headband with the over dramatized and example of an over sexualized African woman’s body. She had choose to create this piece at this location because the building was less than standard. The structure was falling apart, molasses running down the walls. It was a horrid, yet an ideal place for the project in her eyes. The way the entire Domino structure was built provided for a cage of sorts, made of the beams holding up the place, surrounding the “Marvelous Sugar Baby”. She created this piece with the intention of speaking out against the difficulties people nowadays have when discussing the several hardships in the past that were brought upon these women: Slave trading for high quality items or services and sexualization of African women.

The play presents complex notions about family bonds, based upon their shared cultural experiences and the way in which they reinforce their cultural Australian identity and help members of the family endure the physical hardship and social isolation. Jack Davis’ social realist drama, ‘No Sugar’ explores how the varying levels of family unity, rebellion and cultural identity depicted in different characters influences their survival. In this play, the term ‘survival’ operates on two continuums. It is conveyed as the physical sense of life and death through the play’s protagonist, Jimmy Munday, as well as the pursuit of happiness. This pursuit is predominantly reflected in the parallel yet contrasted lives of Mary and Billy Kimberley as well as Gran’s deteriorating health after losing family members. Although Davis articulates the endurance of the Indigenous Australians, he incorporates figures of white authority who seek to demolish the Indigenous race and culture. Set in the time frame of 1929 to 1934, ‘No Sugar’ presents a critique of the conventional colonial British views of that era; and their effect on the preservation of Indigenous spirit and culture.

Miles Davis’ solo is very minimalistic mainly using crotchet and quaver rhythms throughout with the occasional triplet or semiquaver grace note. For the A sections of the first chorus he bases phrases around the minor pentatonic scale. He develops his opening motif (bar 2 of A1) in bar 4-7 returning to the root (E) in between each ascending then descending phrase going up to the 7th (D) in the final variation of the motif. The phrase lengths are irregular; Davis generally uses shorter phrases in the E minor Sections taking a vertical approach to the improvisation then uses longer phrases in the contrasting F minor section where he takes a more horizontal approach. In A1 of the second chorus Davis’
