Im seriously struggling :( I have an assessment task on physical journey.... as you all probably have.
I was wondering if anyone knows of any gr8 poems regarding physical journey? And any gr8 pics/paintings for physical Journey?


Lyrics- i was going to do time of your life by green day...... as i think it can b interpreted in 2 ways.

And a poem, im really unsure about as i cannot do anything in which we have done in class.
For the visual part i was going to do shrek, and still uncertain for a painting or photograph.

It would b a gr8 help if anyone could help me out on this one.
Thanx

For physical journey I used the lyrics of "Into the West" sung by Annie lennox on the "Lord of the Rings" soundtrack -> I thought it was good; and quite easy to disect and talk about... :uhhuh: :)

Leunig has some really good cartoons that relate really well to physical journey. I used one for my essay- unfortunately I can't remember what it's called, but it has Mr Curly and a potato wagon.

Yes, that's the one I'm talking about.. but I don't know what it's called. Is it in the stimulus booklet? Well, anyway.. I have some notes on it if anyone would like.

Um.. there's heaps in the related texts thread, from the top of my head I remember looking at..

She's Leaving Home - Beatles
Hard Rain's A-Gonna Fall - Bob Dylan (I actually used this as a related text for a while)
Homeward Bound - Simon and Garfunkel
Space Oddity - David Bowie.

The idea is to get lyrics that related to physical journey, but are also full of techniques like metaphors, alliteration etc etc. Hard Rain's pretty good in that sense. Just look them up on google and write down as many points as you can on each and compare it to what you have for Time of Your Life and then decide. Above all, you have to make sure it relates to physical journey and not just journey in general (although the more you study it, the more you realise that inner journey and physical journey are linked).

they relate to physical journeys really well

Do you have the link to that specific leunig cartoon?
I might consider doing it for my related text.
