Not surprisingly, there are a few notes and links to analyses of Heaney's poems in the English Extension 1 section of the main website.

Yeh but the notes on the site arent helpful. My teacher said the stuff on Tolland Man was looking too far into the poem

Mm, well, I wrote those Tollund Man notes after speaking with the Supervisor of Marking for EE1 in 2001. I doubt they would have revised the standards since then, but your teacher may have other reasons for advising as he or she did. You're free to use whatever you wish, of course.

There's a speech of mine in the notes section.. (on Tollund Man) I think that's the assessment task I was asking her about.

I found a page of notes from when I was on the phone to her, don't know useful they'll be. :)

I have her email address... do you want me to ask her if she minds you contacting her?

Need your own related texts

Post colonialism is taking back something about yourself that you had lost.

Power is the economy/government these days.

The Castle argues for the individual rights.
Regaining a voice.
Cultural roots.
Take on the government.
Power of the little people. Refuse to be eaten up by the global.


Post modernism is post globalisation.

Parallels between colonialism and globalisation. Power/force taking over everyone.
Reality check going back to individual and what they value.


Seamus Heaney heritage/past and roots
Doesnt matter how global you get, we still go back to our roots, we still have past/history and we have to lament the loss of that privacy and individualism
Reviews the past as he tries to understand it, looks at the fact that we have this incredible heritage and we dont want to lose that.

Never going to get to Esperanto situation.
At what stage could you have the global culture?

No freedom to actually create the best culture because of the power etc.
Where do the values come from? Industrialised countries have the advantage.

Get caught up in the benefits of technology etc, but you have to question what that is doing to man and the individual. No choice the power thing.

Corporation taking over the individual.
Superleague South Sydney example is akin to The Castle.

Power themes.

Erosion of traditional boundaries
Not just physical boundaries
Impact on the individual
Time & Distance, local becoming global
Technology through the individual

China kept the west out for so long because they felt that the power once it came in would derail what they had.

Response to the economic decade of the 80s.

Colonial implies a particular colonial power and a response to their leaving.

Yeah, we did RFTG... Heaney/Bone People/Shipping News.

I'll ask her if she minds me giving out her email.
