i have looked everywhere for newsppaer articles even the posts on the bored of studies and i cant get a full article.

i am wondering if any one has done an artile for physical journeys ifd they could possibly send one to me plz.

Petinga, there is no need to make two or three threads on the same subject, you just need one with any questions that you may have.

The feature article is your best bet because it is the most appropriate way to express ideas and experiences in the form of article, rather than general articles that report on events occurring.

Try looking in the later pages of a newspaper, as this is usually where the feature articles are situated. Also magazines such as Sunday Life (from the Sun-Herald) will have a few articles that you can choose to use.

what texts did u do for related materials..could u possibly send me your texts

 

[Riviet]

Sorry, i can't do that because i didn't do a feature article for my related material; i did a film instead.

Are there any other text types that you are considering? Because it might be easier finding a journeys related text.

 

[Petinga]

well i am doing a documentary "Long Way Home" and i have a politcal cartoon as well. but the cartoon i am a but iffy with coz i am not sure if is good enough.

what other elated text did u do?

 

[Riviet]

Hmm... havent heard that doco before. The other ones i did were random visuals that i practised analysing, and only did one film that I really wanted to do.

 

[Petinga]

what do you think about a politcal cartoon as a related text?

if it is possible would u be able to send ur related materials so i could get a good idea so i can get started soon.

my email is fatwog_4life@hotmail.com

As long as you can relate the political cartoon to journeys, then I guess it's fine. If you want, you can upload it here so I can have a look or post up a link if it's somewhere on the web.

i wouldnt suggest a cartoon for related material. esp. if u cant do it for some required length

i am doing documentry due to personal interest in history

[Riviet]

Yeah, the problem with cartoons is you cant write like tons about it.

However, you can still do a good job with a cartoon if you analyse it well.

I remember reading one article in the Good Weekend section of the SMH in August this year... About the bloke who founded Lonely Planet. Unfortunately, I didn't save it, or do any indepth analysis on it.

It would help if we also know what this article will be used for completing an assessment or for the HSC exam itself. Besides my poems and BOS texts I also have analysed and wrote about song and visual for an assessment task.

the link for my related material is:

if any one couild possibly analyse the techniques used it would much apreciated

 

[Riviet]

I suggest do another one because the theme in that cartoon is mainly freedom, not journeys.

 

[Petinga]

riviet, would u be able to tell me the effect of figurative langauge such as simile in documentaries and how it helps convey the concpet of phsyical journeys

add me on msn then i can ask u there
my email is fatwog_4life@hotmail.com

 

[Riviet]

Ok i just added you.

 

[Petinga]

so could u tell me the effect of figuratuve language in documentary and recurring motiffs. Also how this relates to concept of physical journyes

 

[Riviet]

Well figurative language used in documentaries has the effect of highlighting the physical journey, it depends on who or what's using it and the context, you will need to investigate that from the documentary that you're doing. I have no idea about recurring motiffs so i can't help you there.
