Belonging is a multilayered universal concept that all humans experience individually through many different ways, it can come in forms such as duality and it can be seen as a way of connecting to others and a way to avoid alienation. A sense of belonging can emerge from connections with a group, culture, experience and the larger world. The idea of belonging is that we must meet a certain criteri

The choice to belong or not belong may vary from one person to another. Our sense of belonging can only be achieved when we know who we are and where we are situated in our society. A sense of belong is forged when a person finds a connection between, places, people and the larger world. By refusing or not acknowledging the ideology and lifestyle of the society you live in, it would be difficult f

Dear Sir/ Madam 29/1/11 On behalf of the English Syllabus committee, I am writing to you to explain and justify the committee’s decision to include Emily Dickinson’s poems in the area of study – ‘Belonging’. In her poetry, Dickinson does not offer a simple distaste of belonging or a deep love for reclusion. Rather, through her poems This is My Letter to the World, I had Been Hungry All the Years

“The concept of belonging is far more complex than it first appears”- Discuss with relation to TWO texts (prescribed and one other) The concept of belonging is indeed more complex than it first appears. It can be defined as acceptance as a natural part or member. Although a personal sense, belonging is influenced by personal, social, historical, cultural and place conditions, it is therefore a

In Romulus, My Father, focus is placed on several different foundations for which our identity, and in turn our sense of belonging, is formed. The memoirs emphasis on setting and place acts as a metaphor to reflect Gaita’s orientation of self, which contextualises and explores the challenges of diaspora, and provides a framework for the text’s central tenet, that from suffering, wisdom is gained.

2) How do composers show us the value of belonging, or indeed not belonging, in a variety of situations' In your response, refer to your prescribed text and two other texts of your choosing. Belonging is an integral concept that shapes an individuals perception and lifestyle. Through the memoir, ‘Romulus, My Father’ by Raimond Gaita, the poem, ‘Outcast’ by Claude McKay and the visual image, ‘Bo

An individuals concept of belonging may differ to that of someone else, this however, does not mean the one does not belong, nor does it mean one is greater than the other. ”Despite an individual’s desire to belong to a group or community, this is not always possible”. Those with differing views to someone else may take this view and, it is because of this varying attitude, that belonging is what

Compare how different composers have presented the concept of belonging in the texts you have studied this year. Different composers use a range of language and stylistic techniques of their own to convey their varying perceptions of belonging. Belonging is the feeling of being necessary part of something bigger than yourself, that your absence will be noted.{ A feeling of belonging gives a perso

An individual’s placement within the world creates a powerful formative influence over one’s sense of belonging. Characters experience a level of acceptance and security through their relationships with each other under the influence of their physical surroundings. William Shakespeare’s As You Like It and Tim Winton’s Cloudstreet explore the sense of belonging that develops through familial relati

I live under the roof of a wolves den. There are two wolves in my house. One is my mother and another is my father. They were like two ferocious wolves after the one animal, fighting, fighting over the one bone, day after day. I felt like I didn’t belong to them. It felt like I was in a different world to them and they really didn’t care for me. I felt very much like an outcast. Every day that a

From my knowledge and understanding of belonging it is genuinely hard to define it as a single definition. So far I have not come to my very own definition of belonging, but I hope by the end of this topic that I have a clear insight of what it means to me. However I agree with this statement “ An individuals interaction with others and the world around them can enrich or limit their experience of

Good morning teachers and students. I will be talking about the concept of belonging in Peter Skrzynecki’s poem, 10 Mary st and my related text ‘Where the Wild Things Are’ A book written by Maurice Sendak that was published in 1963.To me belonging is the feeling of comfort and acceptance in their environment, peer group or family, to belong is to feel apart of something. Throughout both of thes

SLIDE 1 Good morning staff and students. Belonging is the ability to feel acceptance and understanding within your personal, cultural and social environment. The concept of belonging varies between people because of their background and beliefs. My visuals show how we can find a strong sense of belonging through connections to people and places. The visuals also illustrate how barriers ca

No one belongs here more than you. They smelt India before they saw India, a distinct smell of perspiration mixed with odd spices that stayed in the nose whether you liked it or not. But as soon as they opened their eyes, the fast paced action of their holiday destination blurred their sight. Within the space of minutes, forty six year old Rodney and Rebecca Pewter saw an elephant with what appea

For most kids the end of sixth period couldn’t come quick enough. I’m not like most kids. I belong to the minority group known to everyone as ‘the rangas’. The helpless, lonely kids who according to most suffer from the potentially life threatening disease they all called ‘Ginger vitis’. I say potentially life threatening as if we step out of line, they will make us wish we were dead. During schoo

His eyes scanned the dim empty room, trying to focus on something to keep his mind off recent troubles. A knock on the door broke him out of his trance. “Ben, dinner’s ready.” He noticed that his mother’s voice lacked the usual authority since the incident. It was the first time in months that she had said his name. His eyes continued to roam around the dark room and swept over the picture o

The streets of Bondi tell the story. A glass tower here, a three storey, red brick walk-up there, shiny hotels alongside crumbling decrepit terraces. Eateries abound everywhere. A French brassiere beckons next to a Japanese Sushi Bar or a take away pizza and ribs, or a pub and bistro; all delivering their offerings with differing quality and price. Wet suited surfers hugging their boards wander al

Q: How has your understanding of ‘Belonging’ been shaped by the set text ‘The Crucible’ and one text of your own choosing' The term ‘belonging’ can be defined as a feeling of personal attachment to a time, place, person or group of persons. The importance of feeling connected, at peace with oneself and ones surroundings and the lengths to which an individual will go to possess this feeling can be

Characters in the texts; “as you like it”, the play by Shakespeare, “standing in the shoes of others”, the speech by Linda Burney and “Girl Interrupted” the 1999 film directed by James Mangold, find a sense of belonging under the influence of place. A physical place is often symbolic of whether a character feels accepted. Their relationship with their external environment conveying how the charact

At Cooloola by Judith Wright What concept of Belonging is explored here' The concept of Belonging explored here is: a competing sense of belonging; the poet’s family has been on the land for a few generations compared to the Aboriginals who have been here for 40 000 years. The subject matter is the spiritual connection to the landscape and the theme is whether this sense of belonging is a cult

English – Belonging By: Stewart Shore Belonging can be treated in different ways. To belong you need to have some sort of relationship with something, for example, people, an environment or a culture. ‘The Crucible’ and the two supporting texts are appropriate for the theme belonging because they can give a clear example of what it means to belong all three texts also discuss the notion of the

“A sense of belonging is important to everyone” An individual’s constant urge for a sense of acceptance and belonging is a shared view by many afar. The extent to which individual’s strive to be recognised, to replenish the void that forever remains. This is apparent in Raimond Gaita’s memoir, ‘Romulus, My Father’ where he outlines the life of father, and his personal quest for respect which he

Understanding nourishes belonging... a lack of understanding prevents It. The environment nourishes belonging. Understanding the surrounding environment and seeking to be affiliated to it will improve the chances of a persons’ belonging. This is validated in Skrzyneckis' poems “Feliks Skrzynecki” and “10 Mary St”, Jane Campion’s film “The Piano” and Alice Pungs work “Unpolished gem”. First of

“Happiness can only exist in acceptance.” George Orwell Through the study of ‘The Simple Gift’ and ‘Mean Girls’, we are able to make connections between the two that similarly explore the concept of belonging, particularly through text, context, ideas and techniques. These two texts surround the idea of certain relationships which have the potential to encourage and destroy our natural self, a

The desire to belong is a universal human experience. Do you agree' The need and desire to belong has always been a must for human survival. It is the sense of belonging that bridges the gulf between isolation and intimacy and it is this experience that allows the individual human to form and flourish. Our desire to belong is universal as without a sense of belonging, lives feel empty and pointle
