Hi there...
can someone please help me and explain what themes/ideas are presented in the poems "Postcard" and "Feliks" (both by Peter Skyrzynecki). If you could also explain how they are linked that would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advanced, peace :]

Ahhh I'm pretty sure there its not about the disconnection with his father.. Its more about his admiration, there are hardly any references to a disconection with the polish culture at all, actually, its quite the contrary lol sorry maan

Remember that textual analysis is a really personal thing. The syllabus asks for an informed personal engagement with the texts. So as long as you substantiate your claims with textual reference and techniques (it's all about techniques) you should be okay.

Personally, I think there is a sense of cultural disconnectedness between Skrzynecki and his father as exemplified in the line "Watched me pegging my tent further and further south of Hadrian's Wall". While Felix is holding on to pre-war Europe, Peter is becoming increasingly connected to Australian lifestyle and culture due to his personal context (moved to Australia at such a young age) and the immigrant experience.

The poem is also a paean - it is a tribute to his father so Skrzynecki also has a sense of admiration for his father i.e. opens with "My gentle father".

Do you think that there is also a sense of detachment between the father and son as the reference to hadrians wall could be interpreted as a barrier bewtween the two?
