No Sugar Essay : Challenging our Values - 4 views

  • This essay is thought to be the truest “borderline” A/B essay in the booklet
  • As a timed essay it displays good control of paragraphing and quite sound sentence structure along with a fine grasp of the text and the concepts of the syllabus.
  • In each paragraph, the writer of this essay draws attention to particular aspects of the text, particularly characterisation, to show the means by which a text can influence our view of life, and the concluding sentences attempt to relate these techniques to specific ideas which the text encourages.

Jack Davis' No Sugar - Destruction of a Culture | Suite101.com - 3 views

  • In essence, white Australians attempted to deal with the “Native Question” by systematically destroying the cultural identity of the Nyoongah peoples, first by using violent action to subdue Aboriginal rebellion and then by absorbing Aboriginal children into white culture or marginalizing Aboriginal families on isolated settlements.
  • It is also clear that A. O. Neville, the Chief Protector of Aborigines, does not protect the Nyoongah peoples, but rather encourages their absorption and marginalization.
  • Joe Millimurra reads aloud an article from an Anglo-Australian newspaper, which recounts a celebration for the first white settlers in Australia who faced dangers “in the shape of three lorries…carrying Aborigines.”

  • Davis offers hope that the subjugation of the indigenous peoples of Australia will come to an end, but he also suggests that the price of this freedom from oppression will be great sorrow and hardship.

    I have spoken to Mr Haskett this morning; his suggestion is that you receive the exact question on Friday (although you already know what it will roughly entail) and do the essay in your first Lit lesson next week (so Wed period 1) WITHOUT NOTES.

    With that in mind, what do you need from me tomorrow?

      These "Suggested Topics..." could form part of your note taking as they will get you thinking about the structure of the text and Atwood's purpose and design.
