hmmm...well...with the diff places, times,values in regards to harwood u could do the speech thingy with respect to her moving from her home in qld to tasmania after she married. at qld (home) she wrote diff poems and when she moved to tasmania this impacted on her and its like in the violets poem...u know? and u could go really into close critical study into harwood and how her life, past and memories have impacted on her poetry. and in the middle u just stick in something saying that maybe gwen harwood has experienced what the little boy did in the glass jar when she was young and realte it to the oedipus complex or something.

i still dont completely get the 2nd half of the question though. but basically if i had to write the speech, it would be something along the lines as what i just told u.

does that help or was that not answering ur q?
