written text journeys (1 Viewer)

[chanelno5]

HELP! I need a written text about a physical, inner or imaginative journey
(can also be a combination or all three)...
can you say what type of journey the one you chose is and 3 key ideas about your text
e.g. journeys can be challenging; the journey can be the reward... etc.
Thanks heaps!!

you could possibly analyse one of Robert Frosts poems.

The Road Not Taken


Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveller, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;

Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim
Because it was grassy and wanted wear,
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,

And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I marked the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way
I doubted if I should ever come back.

I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I,
I took the one less travelled by,
And that has made all the difference.

Robert Frost

If you don't like this, there is a list upon Board of Studies for related texts that were used for the module to do with journeys.

do you know the direct link to that board of studies page?
and do you know any ideas or assumptions conveyed in the poem? e.g. journeys can take time...?

 

[Kat92]

Here is one of the links, can't seem to find the other one that they used to have.

This will suffice though as it breaks journey down into its most basic components.

In basic terms within Frosts poem he is reflecting back upon a path that was lesser taken and that he is still undertaking the journey by learning and reflecting upon the physical actions that he undertook all those years ago.

Unfortunately never heard of it. Sorry that I can't be of more assistance to you. Try creating a thread on it to see if anyone has heard of it.

Can't really think of a 3rd at the moment.

I would agree though that journeys do take time. This is quite evident in how lurhman set up his movie to be staged over a couple of different historical years.
