i think the marking notes say that the awesome responses not only linked their texts (or contrasted them) but also linked them by using sythesis. like 4 eg
i have a related text by micheal leunig about letting go of memories thoughts pain etc, in the text its refered to as "all" so its anything really.
say the q is asking about journeys as clensing experiences id use Crossing the red sea, and talk about the biblical allusions to lazerus as being reborn, reflecting thier rebirth. then i would say that this journey has given them an opportunity to accept their pasts and deal with them etc thru the 2nd stanza i think it is were they mention the patches and shreds of conversation...then the quotes about poppies and "blood leaves simmilar stains".
i say this discussion of the war memories helps ppl to get over it, similarily the poem by micheal leunig reflects this belief of Skrezyneki through the words "let it go, let it out....." which mirrorss the sharing and expressing of memories and pain to move on and be healed......
blah blah blah. so yeah. link em, or say....text two shows a contrasting view of journey thruogh...but synthesise too.
