Does anyone know a good visual(cartoon, painting, etc) to link with Skryzneki's poems? Also, does anyone know how I can link Immigrant song by Led Zeppelin to Skryzneki's poems?
Finally, should I choose a movie or a feature article for my final text?
Check at your library.. most of them have some really good books in the non-fiction section with cartoons, etc.
One that springs to mind is Michael Leunig's "The Travelling Leunig".
Otherwise, there are some GREAT photos by the renowned photographer David Moore. I quickly googled them, and they're hosted online at the state library of NSW.. (

For Led Zep's song, you could link it through the shared context/shared theme of immigration.. in terms of techniques the use of chorus ("We come from the land of the ice and snow, from the midnight sun where the hot springs blow.") is repetition.. there's alliteration in the line "rebuild all your ruins," and there's internal rhyme over the two lines, "Can whisper tales of
gore, Of how we calmed the tides of
war." But if I were you I'd stay away from using it because Skrzynecki's works are poems and song lyrics are considered to be the same thing as poems, so you'd get marked down.
For your final text, you should definitely choose a feature article. If you're already looking for a visual (cartoon, painting, etc.) you shouldn't choose a movie coz it's also considered a visual..
unless you use a transcript of the movie (and state that it is a transcript). {edit: If you're using a feature article make sure it's been published recently.}
Hope this helps. And I hope you realise the 'e' comes before the 'i' in atheist..
Good luck!
