Summative Entry

The Nineteenth Century gave me real insight into human and social issues that are still current in the 21st century. This blog through a combination of Creative and Critical posts demonstrated these issues and the contemporary relevance they have. My Initial blog post was a disagreement with Dorothy Coleridge’s negative opinion of domestic life inContinueContinue reading “Summative Entry”

Katelin, I found this be an excellent original piece of creative writing. I totally get what you mean about the difficulty of trying not to be generic, however, I think through your own creative exploration you managed to avoid that well. Your choice of phrasing was quite excellent and added genuine emotion to your character.ContinueContinue reading “Peer review 3”

You are a Victorian woman or man. Describe the things that you value most in life.

For those of you from the future reading this I’m writing to give clarity about what I value most in this world. As any man should I value my loyal wife and four beautiful children most. As the head of the household it is my duty to provide for them the best that I can.ContinueContinue reading “You are a Victorian woman or man. Describe the things that you value most in life.”

Great connections made between the film and the modern day. Rebellion as a concept I believe will always be an applicable idea so this was quite a strong theme to have chosen to discuss. Utilising such a well known movement like the climate change movement and contrasting it to the slave trade protest was aContinueContinue reading “Peer Review 2”

We had finally reached the base of the wondrous waterfall after the long hike.

Andrew I thoroughly enjoyed this blog post. Incorporating ancient history into your response was an interesting way of adding substance and strength to your answer. Proving that concepts from history can be relevant and important to modern society. Furthermore, discussing the possibility of the future applications of the ideas addressed was a nice ending. FutureContinueContinue reading “Peer Review One”

Write a poem about an experience in your life in which nature was the teacher.

The following poem is a reaction to the impact the severe fires, that recently occurred, had on the South Coast. I visited the South Coast twice, after the fires became controllable, for a total of three weeks. During one of those stays we had the large downpour that caused flooding. Just a warning this mayContinueContinue reading “Write a poem about an experience in your life in which nature was the teacher.”

Are you in agreement with Dorothy Wordsworth’s reactions to S.T. Coleridge’s domestic life? Say why you agree or disagree.

I disagree with Wordsworth’s reaction to domestic life but I also disagree with Coleridge’s because their opinions are subjective. In my humble opinion a rural style of living is beautiful and presents a freeing peaceful life. However, that doesn’t mean I’d argue or attempt to portray it as a “new eden” as I believe itContinueContinue reading “Are you in agreement with Dorothy Wordsworth’s reactions to S.T.

Through a series of individual blog posts which discuss different topics, either critically or creatively, this blog discusses this concept.

Grace I found this to be a great post! I loved the fact you included some of your emotion into this as well as a layer of logic. I think you had some interesting observations and comments on the idea of Australia not being a finished product and managed to link this to the ideaContinueContinue reading “Peer review four”
