Tim Winton has shown, the concept of Journeys are complex, involving a process of failure, learning and development, to be true through his stories, Big World and Neighbours. This concept is shown to be true by John Lee Hancock, through his film, The Blind Side. The journey may offer life-changing experiences, but it is ultimately the destination that motivates the traveller to overcome obstacles and achieve their goals, making both equally important. Journeys can be driven by aims of escaping to a better place, but the process itself is just as significant as it shapes the outlook of the traveller. Development occurs throughout and after one’s journey. The Blind side portrays a homeless, un- intelligent African American male, and his growth as a person and as a football player due to Leanne taking him in and giving him a life he could only dream of as a child. This journey is initially centred on developing and learning but extends into the discovery of his identity and place in life. The whole concept of Michael being accepted into the Tuohy family portrays the idea of …show more content…
Neighbours allow readers to understand the challenges and ordeals faced by a couple and how it places the reader in a position to observe varying values and attitudes. Their journey is centred on learning, multiculturalism and belonging, as they realise that their neighbours aren’t bad but kind people, who want to help them out. Tim Winton uses descriptive language to describe the reactions of their neighbours. As ‘the man in the deli gave her small presents of chocolates and him packets of cigarettes that he stored at home……Italian woman began to offer name…..’ the detail list of the presents is shown the helping of their neighbours and they have accepted by the community and also the couple accepted them as they take the
“Small town big heart,” they say locked away behind their cold immaculate castle gates that rest on the remains of the previous farmland and plains. The collective heart beats but only at a convenient time suiting parties involved. “A place where everyone matters,” they utter as their motto in indistinguishable monotone voices. The people are too wrapped up in their everyday lives to ever be concerned about their neighbor, they look through life with gilded glasses. It’s as if a fog had descended slowly creeping into their view distorting what they once held most dear.

What images come to mind as you reflect on your childhood? Playgrounds, blackboards, and soccer balls may be among the warmest of memories. Yet for many mermaids swim their thoughts, princesses get swept of their feet, and lions roar to their loyal place in the animal kingdom. There is no doubt that today’s entertainment has most of its touch using classical influences. Walt Disney has produced animated films that have captured the heart and imagination of audiences of all ages around the world through the magic of storytelling and imagery. Many of us appreciate the imagination and magic that Disney puts into its animations with out knowing they are based off of classical and traditional storylines

There I was sitting at the table eating what the nuns like to call food what just looked like to me slop I was sitting with my friend Felix. He came across a carrot and it was a full-size carrot he just sat there and stared at it not even touching it if he did not hurry up and I was going to grab it and eat it.
A few months later, I found myself riding with Halt back to his quaint little cottage nestled in the woods. He was teaching me about animal tracks. As our horses tread against the snow that lay on the ground, I noticed a massive print next to the cottage, and Halt said it was a giant boar. A man was lying in the bushes and came out to claim that he had seen the boar first hand, and that it was a mad and destructive one. Halt told him to go to the castle and tell the Baron to gather a group of men so that we can all go hunt the boar in the morning. The next day, I found myself on horseback on the outside of a circle of warriors, and Horace. If the boar were to escape through our circle, I was to chase it down and finish it off with my bow.

I ask them if they needed help and Junior say yes, because his the one that was buying some clothes, so instead of me helping him I started talking to Zeke and didn't help Junior at all.
The night air was heavy with silence. Clouds drifted across a calm sky, and a full moon shone in the distance. In a small hut on the outskirts of the valley, an old man lay in bed, awake in the peaceful slumber of the village. His breaths came in rattling gasps, his forehead burned, and his joints felt stiff with pain. He shifted on the blankets, his withered hands clenched in fists as he tried to suppress the wave of bitter memories coming to him. His life had been nothing more than work, loss, tragedy. He remembered all of his hope, his ambition, in his youth, and he smiled bitterly. No one would remember him as the man that he had once hoped he would become. Now, as his breathing became heavier and he felt himself fading on the brink of
Growing up as a female, you learn about the point in time when you change from a girl to a woman in society. This can be seen as a blessing or a curse to many females as it always is to endure one’s menstrual cycle. The journey, for me, was untypical for a girl my age. While all my friends were talking about how they received their first period I was still waiting for mine to arrive. While everyone was having their biological change into womanhood I was left behind wondering when I will get my turn to grow as a woman. I went years waiting for my cycle to begin, but nothing ever did. When I entered my sophomore year of high school, I started developing pains. These pains would make sitting uncomfortable and intolerable to me especially during school so I decided to go to the doctors to see what was happening to me.
