Related text MOD C Exploring Transition
mattmorley:
Anyone have any recomendations for related texts??
olivercutbill:
This depends on your prescribed text, however I would recommend any Tim Winton short story. Specifically, Big World, part of his The Turning, contains various parts of transitions.
If you require, I can provide sample paragraphs that illustrate the transitions in Big World. And moreover, using a Tim Winton story is an excellent way to elevate an essay, as the markers inherently respect the text.

Hey Oliver, do you have any of your essays on your computer? If so, it would be super helpful to the next cohort to add them to the "notes" section in the top tab! By all means, sample paragraphs here are wonderful too - but if you've got anything for the notes section, that would be so cool!
mattmorley:
Thanks Oliver, yes our teacher was also suggesting Tim Winton as it is a well respected text. We studied Neigbours by Tim Winton yesterday in class, what do you think about this??
olivercutbill:
Having just read it, I think you could definitely use it for transitions.
Initially I'm thinking:
-new social context and changing perceptions
-transitions in social class divisions (initial rejection of others, then help with tasks ie. chickens)
-physical transitions being overwhelming (pregnancy)
-however, all smaller transitions as conduits to initial perception of others; overwhelming, confronting, new worlds are surendered to unwillingly.
The motif of the 'Twentieth Century Novel' is interesting. This perhaps could be inferred as a reference to 1984 (albeit, loosely), with the overall theme of complete loss of privacy. Hence another transition: From the initial 'suburbs where neighbours were not heard' to weeping at loosing agency in their context.
What is your prescribed text?
