Journey Texts?? (1 Viewer)

[cheesewagon]

hey,
im doin an assesment on journeys and i need to get cartoons / articles / poems and stuff to analyse and relate back to journeys.. where did you find that cartoon and stuff?

btw it doesnt have to be imaginary or physical journeys, can be either

Leunig cartoons are fairly good.

You can get some of them through his site and the others through SMH.

If it wasn't for my wonderful English teacher supplying us with all the related texts we need, what I would do is search through libraries or any places with vast amounts of literature that is relevant to the concept of journeys.

Leunig cartoons are fairly good.

You can get some of them through his site and the others through SMH.

Depends, mass-media reports is another method of portraying contemporary issues in society which suits the English Standard module 'Texts and society' the most.

The OP just pm'd me - He has chosen a leunig cartoon.

You can use leunig for almost anything though, as long as it relates to the topic. Leunig's good for "Telling the truth." Why am i even bothering with this?? English is over!

It seems Leunig cartoons really are popular related texts.
One of the high range responses for one of the English Standard modules used a cartoon named 'Twenty-four hour shopping' by Michael Leunig.

We're doing imaginative journeyas this year, last year (I repeated Year 12) we did Inner). My eng teacher basically said not to do a text that has been over done, eg Alice in Wonderland or Where the Wild Things are.

She said, "choose a text that the markers are going to kno about, but hasnt been done too much in the past".

People in my class are doing "The Butterfly Effect" and "Fight Club"

You can anything really, as long as you can find the imaginative/inner/physical journey behind it.

If you're doing imaginative, make sure you kno the difference between 'imaginative' and 'fantasy'. My Eng teacher said that to many people get confused and think that they are the same and therefore they pick a fantasy text and think that has a imaginative journey.

I've chosen one text and am still deciding on my second text. I've written 4 pages on my first text and am gonna write another 4 on my second.

Pick a movie/story/book/show/website etc that you like and find the journey in that. It wont be hard.

define the difference between 'imaginative' and 'fantasy' exactley?

 

[tanjin]

define the difference between 'imaginative' and 'fantasy' exactley?

You'll do well.

 

[Supah02]

Lol... shut up tanjin

they kinda mean the same thing

'imaginative' and 'fantasy'


you make them both up...

only differance i relli see is fantasy is something you desire compared to something imaginative

 

[Sarca]

Yeah 'imaginative' and 'fantasy' are one in the same, but in fantasy texts are aimed at merely a make belive world. They consist of wizards and leprachauns and mythical characters, where and imaginative is aimed at creating a story using your mind. Do you get me? hahaha

Its confusing, that prob doesnt make sense but I'll ask on Monday what the difference is.

 

[tristanalaba]

imaginative is a person, leaving reality and imagining a journey in their head and eventually coming back to reality and changing from their journey, lime tree bower by coleridge is a good example. fantasy is completely different, its not-real and doesnt involve any real life people. fantasy and imaginary are similar in meaning. imaginative is not similar in meaning.

watch out for that one, imaginary is not imaginative.

OOOOooo...
