= Focus:__ABORIGINAL AUSTRALIA__ = ==

This is an image of Australian aboriginals dancing. I chose this visual text because it briefly shows how the aboriginals lived. It shows how they danced, were naked, lived in the nature in a tribe and hunted for food. Y__ou have given a very straightforward response here__

They came in to the little town A semi-naked band subdued and silent All that remained of their tribe. They came here to the place of their old bora ground Where now the many white men hurry about like ants. Notice of the estate agent reads: 'Rubbish May Be Tipped Here'. Now it half covers the traces of the old bora ring. 'We are as strangers here now, but the white tribe are the strangers. We belong here, we are of the old ways. We are the corroboree and the bora ground, We are the old ceremonies, the laws of the elders. We are the wonder tales of Dream Time, the tribal legends told. We are the past, the hunts and the laughing games, the wandering camp fires. We are the lightening bolt over Gaphembah Hill Quick and terrible, And the Thunderer after him, that loud fellow. We are the quiet daybreak paling the dark lagoon. We are the shadow-ghosts creeping back as the camp fires burn low. We are nature and the past, all the old ways Gone now and scattered. The scrubs are gone, the hunting and the laughter. The eagle is gone, the emu and the kangaroo are gone from this place. The bora ring is gone. The corroboree is gone. And we are going

'We Are Going ' is a poem written by Oodgeroo Noonuccal. This was published in1964 .It is about the fears and aspirations of Aboriginal Australians. There are not __much__ Aboriginals remaining in the town and now they live with the white strangers. The perspective of this poem is the loneliness and abandoned __aborines__, although it is their own land that they have lived for thousands of years. She tries to show the feelings of Aboriginals in the Aborigine's point of view to the audience. __good__ The intended audience is people who have a negative attitude toward Aboriginals. She uses many ways to present this effectively. __explain__
 *  **

I feel sympathy toward the aboriginals, after reading this poem. This is how the author aimed the readers to feel. She aims people to feel sympathy, and for the white people who overwhelmed black to feel guilt, and the black to feel anger. __interesting work__ It tells me that some white people have a stereotype that the aboriginals are the strangers, and they treat them that way. She opposes that stereotype by saying "but the white tribes are the strangers". She uses the word 'tribe' to show how the black and white people think exactly oppositely and they feel like strangers to each other. __reread the last sentence- needs work in order to convey your thoughts__ The author does not try to make these people feel harmony or get along with each other, but she just wants to show how lonely they are.

Oodgeroo Noonuccal uses various poetical devices to deliver how the Aborigine's feel. One is that she uses repetition. The phrase 'we are' and 'gone' throughout the whole poem to emphasize the contrast of how their environment changed, and how their life pattern and tradition was now fading away. Metapho__r__ such as 'thunder, daybreak, shadow ghosts' and simile such as 'the white men hurry like ants' are used. What is significant about this is that they are all natural elements. It tells how they lived in the nature and have a sense of kinship with nature. The most primary technique used in this poem it the contrast. The contrast is used throughout the whole poem. She contrasts the white Australians with the black Australians, and how the aboriginals lived in the past and how they live now. By romanticizing the past life of the aboriginals, she __brights up what???__ the readers and __make__ a sudden reverse to how it changed, making the readers be biased to the aboriginals.

The writer of this poem, Oodgeroo Noonuccal, is an aboriginal Australian herself. She is formally known as Kath Walker and is an Aboriginal rights activist. This enabled her to write this poem about Aboriginals. Because she is also a aboriginal, she knows how aboriginals are and how their mind is. She knows how it feels like to be surrounded with white people and being hated. The fact also grants credibility to this poem. This may be the most major factor that makes this poem very effective. This text raises a sense of sympathy towards the frightened Australian aboriginals by using various poetic devices and techniques, and the writer being an aboriginal herself gives a significant advantage for doing this. It contributes to our understanding of the Australian identity in a negative way, because it describes most of the Australians, except the aboriginals, as unfriendly and cold hearted people. However, it lets the author meet her purpose effectively by changing the audience’s perspective. __Overall some good points made. Revision is still needed__

Morrison (Franklyn Bennett) has married Jane Judd (Margot Rhys) because of a promise he made before he met Biddy O’Shea. Biddy has also married, and both women have had a baby. When Aborigines attack and kill her family, the fatally wounded Biddy (Peggy Maguire) asks Morrison to rescue and care for her child.

In the early Sound Era film // [|Heritage] // (Chauvel 1935) 'black devils' attack a homestead. They are shown swarming across the landscape, killing a man and a mother with spears, before being scared off by men on horseback shooting guns.

Act 5 Scene 7 Macduff runs around the battle seeking Macbeth. He says his family's ghosts will haunt him if Macbeth is killed by any other. He will not fight any of Macbeth's footmen or their flag bearers, but wishes to kill Macbeth only. Lines 13-14 macbeth: 'But swords I smile at, Weopons laugh to scorn, Brandished by man that's of a woman born.' Swords don ’ t frighten me. I laugh at any weapon used by a man who was born from a woman. Lines 16-19 Macduff: 'If thou be'st slain, and With no stroke of min, My wife and children's Ghosts will haunt me  Still. I cannot strike at wretched Kerns whose arms Are hired to bear their staves;' If someone other than me kills you, the ghosts of my wife and children will haunt me forever. I can ’ t be bothered to fight these lame soldiers who only fight for money.

Act 5 Scene 8

Macbeth finds out Macduff is not born from a women, because he was born from a dead person. Macbeth is killed by him.

Lines 14-16 Macduff:

'And let the angel

Whom thou still hast

Served

Tell thee, Macduff was

from his mother's

Womb

Untimely ripped'

The evil spirit you serve can tell you that I was not born. They cut me out of my mother’s womb before she could bear me naturally.

Lines 30-32 Macbeth:

'Though Birnam Wood

Be come to Dunsinane

And thou opposed being

Of no women born,

Yet I will try the last.'

Even though Birnam Wood really did come to Dunsinane, and I’m fighting a man not of woman born, I’ll fight to the end.
