__Lines 13- 14 (Macbeth):__ "But swords I smile at, weapons laugh to scorn,  Brandished by a man that's  of a woman born"

( Macbeth is saying that he laughs at swords he thinks  nothing of it he cannot be  killed by a man who is born naturally. )

__Lines 16 - 19 (Macduff)__: "If though be'st slain, and with no stroke of mine, My wife and children's ghosts will haunt me still.  I cannot strike at wretched kerns whose arms  Are hired to bear their staves;'

__**My Focus is: Aboriginal Australia**__

__**No More Boomerang ( Poem)**__ No more boomerang no more spear, Now all civilised colour bar and beer, No more corroboree gay dance and din, Now we got movies and pay to go in. No more sharing what the hunter brings, Now we work for money and pay it back for things, Now we track bosses to catch a few bob, Now we go walkabout on bus to the job. One time naked who never knew shame, Now we put clothes on to hide whatsaname. No more gunyah now bungalow, Paid by hire purchase in twenty years or so. Lay down the stone axe take up the steel, Work like a nigger for a white man's meal, No more firestick that made whites scoff, Now all electric and no better off. Bunyip he finish got now instead, White-fella bunyip call him red. Abstract pictures now, what they comin' at Cripes in our caves we did better than that. Black hunted wallaby, white hunt dollar. White-fella witch-doctor wear dog collar. No more message lubras and lads, Got television now, mostly ads, Lay down the woomera, lay down the waddy, No we got atom bomb. End everybody.

__Commentary - No More Boomerang__ No More Boomerang is a poem written by Kath Walker. The poem was first published in 1985. The text is written in a way that it compares Aboriginal Australia to the "new" Australia and shows us how things have changed since then. The poem was intended to show a curious reader or an Australian who maybe does not know much about Australia's past how things used to work and the lifestyle the Aboriginal people lived. The dominant reading supports the stereotype that the change isn't necessarily a good thing because they have slowly started destroying the Aboriginal culture. It also suggests that a the modern way of living isn't necessarily the best way. The text can't be read resistantly. The text criticizes the way Australians live now. The text is mainly gender neutral but mentions only the activities men would typically be doing, such as hunting etc. but does not distinctly say a word about males. Language techniques such as imagery were used to create an image in the readers mind of what things were like then and what they are like now, for example, " No more corroboree gay dance and din, Now we got movies and pay to go in. ". The poem also has an "abab" rhyme scheme. The text shows Aboriginal Australia positively and modern day Australia negatively, by taking normal every day tasks and activities and making it seem like it was better during Aboriginal Australia. __This last sentence is very good__ __Where is the rest of your work? Only one text and one commentary show you have not been doing the required work. YOu need to make and appointment outside of class and discuss any issues arising. Mrs Gravina__

=**Visual:**=



__**Commentary - From the Rich mans table ( still visual)**__ From the Rich Mans Table is an illustration by John Frith which was published in the Herald in 1968. The purpose of the text was to show your average, everyday Australian what was actually happening in their country between the Aboriginal people and the modern age people. The image was intended for any Australian citizens interested in the politics and what was going on in Australia at the time. The dominant perspective of the text is that the people in Australia are carelessly taking the Aboriginals land without a second thought, and don’t actually realize how upset the Aboriginals are about it. The visual cannot be looked at resistantly. The stereotype could be that the image supports that all Australians are arrogant and neglect the Aboriginals feelings but not all Australians are. There are only males in the image so therefore the females have been silenced yet again. The image also only shows one perspective of the Aboriginals, and only one perspective of the ( modern day) Australians. No language techniques have been used as this is a visual but the readers are positioned to believe the Australians are upsetting and leaving a negative impact on the Aboriginals. The image, "From the Rich Mans Table," contributes to our understanding of the Australian identity in a negative way because they are showing inequality and selfishness characteristics in the image.

**__An Extract from the book: A Complete Account of the Settlement at Port Jackson__**
**__By Watkin Tench__** I have already mentioned that white is the colour appropriated to the dance, but the style of painting is left to every one's fancy. Some are streaked with waving lines from head to foot; others marked by broad cross-bars, on the breast, back, and thighs, or encircled with spiral lines, or regularly striped like a zebra. Of these ornaments, the face never wants its share, and it is hard to conceive any thing in the shape of humanity more hideous and terrific than they appear to a stranger--seen, perhaps, through the livid gleam of a fire, the eyes surrounded by large white circles, in contrast with the black ground, the hair stuck full of pieces of bone and in the hand a grasped club, which they occasionally brandish with the greatest fierceness and agility. Some dances are performed by men only, some by women only, and in others the sexes mingle. In one of them I have seen the men drop on their hands and knees and kiss the earth with the greatest fervor, between the kisses looking up to Heaven. They also frequently throw up their arms, exactly in the manner in which the dancers of the Friendly Islands are depicted in one of the plates of Mr. Cook's last voyage.
