Some of you seem to be suggesting stories about migrants and whatnot because they'll be easier to make links, you have to realise that although it might be easier but your marks probably won't be as good. The texts I used last year were the song "I was only 19" by Redgum and the movie Stand by Me. Songs are good because they're easy to remember quotes from (thats not just for phys. journeys - but anything). Also have a look Andrew Denton's Enough Rope site, there's some good interviews there with people who have been on physical journeys (I think his name is Aron Ralston?: the guy who had to chop his arm off to survive). Another good idea is to look at backpacker/travel websites, there are some good articles in places like that about physical journeys. And photographs and cartoons are usually fairly good and easy enough to find.
I found it easy enough to create links between the poems and most texts, if you find a good physical journey (say text that you actually enjoy), you should find it easy enough to describe and connect to the poems...
Hope I've been of some help.

I think Shrek is an excellent example of the classic physical journey and it's easy to relate the film to Skrzynecki's poems- both main characters feel alienated in their new locations, etc, etc. Oh and if anyone has problems remembering how to spell Skrzynecki, here's a little trick me and my friends use. Just pronounce it in your head like it should be spelt- Skerzy- Necky. Well, it helped us! Heh....

cheers!! i will use that

I'm doing Skrzynecki's poems on Physical journeys................ONE of my RELATED is Roberto Benigni's Italian film LIFE IS BEAUTIFUL...................................

I just found out that its a PRESCRIBED text for IMAGINATIVE JOURNEYS!!!!!!!
Omg..................

Does that mean I'm not allowed to have it as one of my related materials even though I'm doing Physical journeys not imaginative?!!?!?!??! Is that possible?!?!?!?!?!!?

My teacher has marked my essays and she hasn't said anything about it.................but that worries me, what if she never knew if was a prescribed text coz nobody at my school isn't doing that for a prescribed text?!?!?!

HELP!

Ithaca
As you set out for Ithaca
hope your road is a long one,
full of adventure, full of discovery.
Laistrygonians, Cyclops,
angry Poseidon - don't be afraid of them:
you' ll never find things like that on your way
as long as you keep your thoughts raised high,
as long as a rare excitement
stirs your spirit and your body.
Laistrygonians, Cyclops,
wild Poseidon - you won't encounter them
unless you bring them along inside your soul,
unless your soul sets them up in front of you.

Hope your road is a long one.
May there be many summer mornings when,
with what pleasure, what joy,
you enter harbours you're seeing for the first time;
may you stop at Phoenician trading stations
to buy fine things,
mother of pearl and coral, amber and ebony,
sensual perfume of every kind -
as many sensual perfumes as you can;
and may you visit many Egyptian cities
to learn and go on learning from their scholars.

Keep Ithaca always in your mind.
Arriving there is what you're destined for.
But don't hurry the journey at all.
Better if it lasts for years,
so you're old by the time you reach the island,
wealthy with all you've gained on the way,
not expecting Ithaca to make you rich.

Ithaca gave you the marvelous journey.
Without her you wouldn't have set out.
She has nothing left to give you now.
And if you find her poor, Ithaca won't have fooled you.
Wise as you will have become, so full of experience,
you'll have understood by then what these Ithakas mean.

demonomaniac, I haven't read the text

But you can argue that it is the physical journey that brought about the change in the traveller. That is the important thing.

It doesn't need to be a constant movement, it could be seeing beggers on the road while travelling to the supermarket, and after the event, the person reflects on what he/she saw...

Sorry, I'm getting rusty.

 

[demonomaniac]
