We did Wind in the Willows as a physical journey, though in the process looked at imaginative and inner also. It all depends on which aspect of journey u wish to concentrate on!! Though mainy u should be concerned with the social and historical context before analysing it in terms of journey.

Wind in the Willows invloves ANTHROPOMORPHISM this is animals having human characteristics... you could talk about this! The way that they talk and have a carvan and are about to go on a journey. All the animals have different attidtudes as well!
Thats just one idea to talk about!
We have only just started this so i might be able to get more information to you soon!

talk about the contrast in personality between Toad and Rat, Toad is a type A personality whereas Rat is type B, Mole is indecisive and doesn't like contfrontations.
Rat is really stubborn and refuses to undertake a journey.
anthropomorphism is important in this but it really doesn't say that much about journeys.

we did wind in the williows for imaginative. you could say that Rat is a represention of a conservative person,and in some ways contemptous. Toad is a caricature of a character who is larger than life. dont know if that has helped!

I did it for imaginative too, so have nothing to say about physical journeys. But I took a similar approach to it as Nara. I also looked a bit at how Kenneth Grahame has translated a lot of the attitudes of the aristocratic classes in the real world a little ironically into the imaginative world of the animals... to be honest, though, I don't think you can actually get much of that out of the piddly badly selected extract. Which is why I have not and will not do it in exams.
