...your text to validate your discussion. Good morning teachers and classmates, the dramatic reading I will be doing today is of Gwen Harwood’s Poem, “Mother Who Gave Me Life” <Read “Mother Who Gave Me Life” (MWGML)> Throughout this poem I think Gwen Harwood explores a universal theme of loss as a distinctive feature throughout her poems, in particular loss of loved ones, which can be valued by contemporary audiences today due to it being an issue that is faced by everybody in their life at some point. When a loved one is no longer part of an individual’s life, one may experience grief and as a result realise the role and importance of that loved one. From my perspective, Harwood presents the concept of loss of loved ones through MWGML with the euphemism “You left the world so”, which highlights that her mother was not only a loss to her life but also a loss to the world, suggesting that she had great value and respect for her mother. There is a similar significance placed on her mother’s life that is stressed with the use of alliteration in “lived nearly thirty thousand days”. This presents the idea that she lived daily as a mother contributing to the lives of her children. Harwood also introduces a cloth motif in her poem, through the line “when she died she was folding a little towel” to highlight the importance of her day to day life. Harwood then sustains this motif later in her poem with “a fabric of marvels”. This motif, combined with “lived nearly thirty thousand...

...‘Barn Owl’ is a narrative poem written by Gwen Harwood that describes the feelings and emotions a young girl’s experiences while making risky ‘grown up’ decisions. The poem portrays her false layer of maturity slowly peeling away to reveal her innocence as the young girl realises that what she has done was against the will of both the owl and her father and that she now must cope with the punishment of both. Gwen uses multiple poetic devices and uses a narrative writing style to portray the seriousness of the situation and the eventual uncovering of her innocent mind. The poem describes the feeling of life and death and how age and maturity affect the way we deal with it. The poem tells the story of a small child who is transformed from ‘innocent’...

...Bob Fosse was born in Chicago, Illinois, United States on September 23, 1987. Fosse began his unusual career as a dancer in the late 1940s, touring with companies of Call Me Mister and Make Mine Manhattan. After playing the lead in a summer-stock production of Pal Joey, then choreographing a showcase called Talent 52, Fosse was given a screen test by M-G-M and went on to appear in the film Kiss Me Kate. This appearance, in a highly original dance number, led to Fosse's first job as a choreographer, the Jerome Robbins-directed Broadway hit The Pajama Game. Soon after, he met the talented dancer Gwen Verdon, and the two proceeded to collaborate on several hit shows, including Damn Yankees, New Girl in Town , and Redhead. He was also frequently sought out as the "doctor" on shows in trouble, especially How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying and Little Me. Fosse's best collaboration with Verdon, Sweet Charity, demonstrated their perfect compatibility as a creative team and also flaunted his trademark style as a choreographer. Strongly influenced by choreographer Jack Cole, Fosse staged dance numbers that were highly stylized, using staccato movements and erotic suggestion. The "Steam Heat" number from The Pajama Game and "Hey Big Spender" from Sweet Charity were trademark Fosse numbers--jazzy, machinelike motion and cocky, angular, even grotesque poses. He favored style over substance (his patented knee slides and spread-finger hands), and minimalistic costuming (all black...

...Response to Harajuku Lovers Ad Most people would describe Stefani having a superb sense of personal style. Although this is true, Stefani has a history of borrowing from other cultures to make up her own style. In the 90’s when her band No Doubt was beginning to be popular on a national level she would sport Bindi’s in music videos and at red carpet events. She was inspired by her bandmate Tony Kanal’s mother who is Indian and would wear them. It’s likely that in the 90’s if you said, “Bindi” one would think of Gwen Stefani before they would think of the Bindi’s symbolism and history. Now when someone says, “Harajuku” you think of Stefani before you think of the Japanese street fashion. Stefani may be appreciative of Harajuku culture (Harajuku Lovers) but she is ignoring how her representation and repackaging of Harajuku style will skew people’s understanding of it. People will understand Harajuku as Stefani presents it not how it actually is. Presenting artifacts of style skews its understanding in the same way that displays of cultural artifacts in museums do. Fusco explores how institutions collections are an expression of Westerners nature as global consumers of the exotic. Through globalization it is not only institutions that are interested in collecting and repurposing artifacts from other cultures, it is artists, companies or anyone looking for an “edge”. Stefani’s use of a subculture as inspiration for a companies identity marginalizes the subculture and makes...

...which adds to the concept of eventually being the one-stop-shop for customers. They make sure all of their owned and exclusive brands—brands like C9 by Champion, Archer Farms and Cherokee—are priced lower but rival the quality of established national brands (Target Corporation 2012). During 2012, Target continued to embrace the title “purveyor of cheap chic”. Fashion designer Jason Wu offered an affordable limited edition collection of apparel, handbags and scarves. Interior designer Nate Berkus teamed up with Target to offer his exclusive collection of bedding, bathroom and decorative accessories, window treatments and rugs.

...Road Not Taken” by Robert Frost and “In the Park” by Gwen Harwood, articulate the feelings associated with either losing an opportunity or one-self. Frost exposes his narrator’s melancholy resignation at the loss of an opportunity while Harwood, on the other hand, reveals the turmoil of a mother as she succumbs to the demands of motherhood. While both poems focus upon the idea of loss they differ in form, circumstance and consequence. The idea of loss is initiated in the opening stanza of “The Road Not Taken” when the narrator expresses sadness at the inability to decide which of the “two roads diverged in a yellow wood,” he should take. Comprehending that he “could not travel both” and metaphorically be “one traveller”, he...

...Powerful moments of stillness can lead us to a true understanding of self, but to understand who we are we must look at what makes us unique as an individual human being. In Gwen Harwood’s “Alter Ego” she is at peace with the world and lives and breathes music. Her views are often overlooked in modern day society, but she remains true to the fact that she believes that we never really have a full understanding of our identity. Opposing this in Tim Winton’s “Land’s Edge” his true self resides in the ocean, a place where he feels most at home, his Australian coastal background, his main influence of his sense of identity. Both composers examine the moments of stillness in our lives and how it is only then that we truly get a glimpse or a sense of who we are. In “Alter ego” Harwood describes the alter ego as a part of herself...
