Peer Review #1

Laura this is a fantastically contextually relevant piece! I thoroughly enjoyed your personification of Mother Nature and the use of inclusive first person plural. The imagery of the horseman of the apocalypse is most apt for the pandemic we currently face. I was at first confused at your use of ‘finite’ in the final line,Continue reading “Peer Review #1”

Blog 2: The Siren’s Call

In which the Siren Call of technology beckons.

Blog 1 – Pandaemonium

Are the concerns expressed in the film Pandaemonium still relevant in the 21st century? Pandaemonium explores core components of human experience and identity that unquestionably resonate across time to the present day, some I’d argue even more so in the 21st Century than the 19th. Considerations of the role of government and the autonomy, the balance betweenContinue reading “Blog 1 – Pandaemonium”

Summative Entry

“Australia is not a finished product.” I’ve had this notion as the header for my blogspace from its inception and it’s been slowly ticking around in my mind ever since. Examining all the blogs I’ve written in retrospect all of them in one manner or another relate to the notion of identity and the formsContinue reading “Summative Entry”

Blog #6 Fire

A bonus blog exploring fire.

Peer Review #4 Cameron Cole

Cameron this is awesome! Coming over from ENGL102 this excites me greatly for what I may encounter next year.

The repetition and building questions really aid in giving it that segmented impression of time. I think we can all relate toContinue reading “Peer Review #4 Cameron Cole”

Blog #5: Magical Realism

A brief discussion of Magical Realism.

I think it, more so than almost anything else, differentiates us from the rest of creation. Our culture and society is so influenced by the works of thoseContinue reading “Peer Review #3 Natalia Ng”

Blog #4 Dear Miss Slattery

3/Write a letter to Miss Slattery telling her what you think about the decision she made to leave Szabo. Dear Miss Slattery You said never believed intensely in the advantages of knowledge. It’s as though you’ve been cruising through life, a passive observer. I wonder if that opinion has changed with the realisation of yourContinue reading “Blog #4 Dear Miss Slattery”

Peer Review #2 Emily Baker

An incredibly poignant piece Emily. The listing of those questions makes for an inordinately heavy burden; powerful, heartfelt expression. I was quite tempted to compose an answer to that question with that very same artwork before I decided on something else. Coincidentally the history unit I am currently doing just had an entire week basedContinue reading “Peer Review #2 Emily Baker”
