What the fuck kinda question was that?
Writing without structure is hard and general questions are also hard. This question really put me off. Anyone else?

Yeah the Cloudstreet question was reallllly general

I think i focused too much on the interpretations of it IE feminism , marxist and post colonial
and then i did a bit on religion and spirituality a bit on language, a bit on marrative stratetegy
and then said "BYE" to the conversation, with a bit of "oh yeah and that bit about the post colonial valuation of the novel, also is another theme and issue"

It was sooo broad you didnt know what was the correct way to write about it, and tehres only so much you can write for language and narrative strategy!

LoL "and not all of fish came back" - i swear if i hear that again!

hehe..... what about "The knife never lies"

I took the negative portrayal of Aus's post colonial identity as one...... just hope I backed it up enough

anyone else go with the negative kinda view?

that question was bad.... I think I fucked up bad :burn: didn't even mention 'not all of Fish came back' come to think of it I didn't use a single quote in the conversation.... bugger

well about the negative thing of AUstralia's post colonial history, my postccolonial argument was all from this academic essay i have, so it was all negative...i think theres a couple out there. I used the Fiona Morrisson one ...bloody magic realism

hahaha another OH SO HATED qoute, "i want the water"

yeah yeah yeah
