It's official.... I'm getting quite sick of this text... - burnout - (Eng Trials tommorrow! I'm officially screwed!)

Aside from obvious literary techniques such as use of person pronoun "I", autobiographical context and age-specific language/perceptions, how on earth do I link this darn thing to Inner Journeys...

"Place" is a metaphor for one's place in society, one's cultural heritage, identity etc...

Anything else? Quotes would be much obliged.

...inner journey to accept white australia? to come to terms with, and be proud of, her cultural heritage?
Book's dedication: "How deprived we would have been had we been willing to let things remain as they were. We would have survived, but not as a whole people: we would never have known our place"

“What did it really mean to be Aboriginal? I’d never lived off the land and been a hunter and a gatherer. I’d never participated in corroborees or heard stories of the Dreamtime. I hardly knew any Aboriginal people. What did it mean for someone like me? … Just then, for some reason, I could see Nan. … Her eyes were sad. … she vanished as quickly as she’d come. I knew then that, for some reason, it was very important that I stayed on the scholarship. If I denied by tentative identification with the past now, I’d be denying her as well. I had to hold on to the fact that, some day, it might all mean something.” – pg 178-179.
