Im doing physical journies and we have to do 1 film, 1 image.

Magazine OR newspaper article
Poem OR song lyric

Then we have to do this:

Title of text:
Type: (whether image, short story, etc.)
Composer:
Date( date you obtained the text)
Source:(where it comes from- i.e: sydney morning herald, Touchstone pictures, website, etc.)

And then a 100 word summary where we explain how the text relates to the concept of journeys.

What about that song that goes "i been thru tha desert on a horse wif no name" that sounds like a good physical journey. or "he ain't heavy he's my brotha."
those are real good.

Hi there, i'm doing Cast Away too, I've already analysed it and got my english assessment next week and i've got my journey essay all typed up, so I guess i can show you my Cast Away paragraphs in the essay, please only use these as a guide/reference to help you out:

Survival and emotional growth are also a challenge for Chuck Nolan in Cast Away. As a
Fed Ex manager, Chuck states to his employees, “…one cannot ever… commit the sin of
losing track of time.” Yet his controlled world disintegrates when he becomes isolated on
a deserted island after a plane crash. This is where his real journey of pain and endurance
begins as he must learn to survive with only his internal resources. Whilst attempting to
build a fire, Chuck wounds his hand and wiping his own blood, he personifies a netball
and creates “Wilson”.

However, Wilson is not only his beloved companion for his four year stay on the island,
he is also Chuck’s alter ego and a cinematic technique that enables the director to convey
Chuck’s inner feelings and fears to the viewer. Later when Chuck sails out on a raft in
search of rescue, Wilson fulls overboard. An extreme close-up of Chuck’s hand
ungrasping and then grasping the vine connected to the raft, reveals his agonising
decision when he must let Wilson go in favour of being rescued. Accompanied by
poignant (moving) music, used only sparingly through the film, Chuck’s grief is
highlighted and followed by dramatic irony when we witness his eventual rescue in the
form of a freighter at a time when he is too grief-stricken to notice.


That should help you alot. :)

umm it was a good cd? haha.
u can write that journeys can be never ending, like the road is, and there will be things in the way making u slow down, but some ignore it, some dont n consequences etc.
