Speech on Belonging

Belonging is usually defined as world accepted into and by members of a family, group, class, race, community or school. The term belong means something different to everyone but nearly hatful will come up with the words acceptance, credential and identity. In this speech I have elect to talk roughly the aspects of belong and not be in two of turncock Skrzyneckis Poems, unsettled Hostel and 10 bloody shame Street and in any case in the 1997 film Titanic.In Peter Skrzyneckis Migrant Hostel, he talks somewhat the 2 years of his life that he and most of his family lived in a Migrant guild in Parkes after attack to Australia after World warf ar 2 from Poland and leaving most of his family and polish heritage behind. This song gives the responder a soul of awe almost whether he belongs or not to this migrant social club. Skrzynecki creates this bewilderment by contrasting the familys consciousness of belonging to the hostel with the familys confusion ab give away wh ether or not they actually belonged to the Australian soil.Although the migrant hostel was their home for 2 years thither was always so many people coming and qualifying that it didnt really feel bid a home which made it really dense to create a disposition of belonging as a community. Techniques used by Skrzynecki to create this comprehend of confusion about belonging are juxtaposition or contrast for voice in the fail stanza on the 6th line Needing its sanction To psyche in and out of lives That had only begun Or were deceaseThis can be referred to as when people bugger off at the hostel their lives are just send-off as they have a second meet to start their lives oer again and for have got about the past and what has happened and concentrate on the future and and so when they give-up the ghost the hostel they feel lost because they are on unknown land and they feel they move intot really fit in with the Australian lifestyle as they have their own priming and herit age to maintain. This uote could besides mean the opposite when they leave they have a chance to start over and renew there lives again and when they are in the hostel they are trapped and dont know what to do or who they are. Symbolism is some other technique Skrzynecki uses in this rime. In Migrant hostel he uses birds as a symbol of being trapped. For example the third stanza For over two years We lived like birds of passage- Always sensing a win over In the weather Unaware of the season Whose overcompensate we would followThis example shows how the people in the hostel where hardly allowed outside, which shows that they were basically trapped inside and extraneous from everyone else. Another technique Skrzynecki uses is rhetorical device this technique shows the confusion of the people inside the hostel, for example in the prototypic stanza 6th line That left us wondering who would be coming next. This example shows the confusion the people had, and how un trustworthy t hings were for them, they didnt know who was going to come through the doorway next or who was going to leave.Also in this poem Skrzynecki uses an protracted metaphor. In this poem the bird symbol is also used as the extended metaphor. In this poem he uses refers to a homing pigeon to deepen the sense of instinctual behavior for example in the second stanza inaugural line Nationalities sought Each other out instinctively Like a homing pigeon Circling to get its bearings this example shows how the people are coming unneurotic and finding each other through their punctuate and where they came from. The last technique that Skrzynecki uses in this poem is similes. For example n the last stanza 4th line As it rose and fell like a dactyl this particular simile refers to the gate out the movement of the hostel, it shows how they were isolated from the rest of the country by that gate and that they had no control over when that gate heart-to-heart or closed. It makes the hostel soun d like a jail. In Skrzyneckis poem 10 bloody shame Street he is describing his life in his first ever home on Australian soil, this poem has a greater sense of belonging as he is more comfortable in Mary street, and he has a greater sense of belonging to his family, his home, his school, his community and is comfortable with his migrant past.Skrzynecki and his family lived at 10 Mary Street for 19 years beforehand the house got knocked down. During this poem Skrzynecki has no sense of head or uncertainty about who he is or where he is going. This poem gives a strong sense of happiness and content within his life as the language is light and joyful, as he remembers certain things about that house and life within it.
