Text read in class

We have in class read the personal story of ”Jennifer”, and here is some information's about it 

 

The text is an autobiography. An autobiography tells a about person’s life. How it can be, how it is, and how it can turn out to be. Maybe it wasn’t like what you always had expected the life to be.

Stories told from her point of view. It’s told from a first-person point of view (I was, I feel, I remember, My mother…)   it is her life - makes the story is more lively, and you can put yourself in her place. It is a non-fiction text based on memories.

The person who is speaking is Jennife. But she does not only tell about her own story, but also about her mum’s story and her grandmother’s story. We knew it is Jennifer, because she start with “My grandmother, Rebecca”. Important characteristics: She is not a full aboriginal, but her grandmother was.

 

By writing her story, she wants to tell people in the world her story. I am sure, that she never world write this, when it is such a bad memory, if there wasn’t a meaning with it. One time she also writes that it is too hard to talk about. I think, that she wouldn’t have written this, if there were someone of her friends there would read this. In that way it is not personally to one person - it is to every person, there wants to read it. 

For other aboriginals to inform other aboriginal about what some went through.

It could also be for her own children, so she could inform about their families story.

Get in behind all the facts, and just get the will stories.

To inform the government and mainstream Australian about what had actually happen - not just facts and dates, but the real stories there tell, that maybe they did it for the best of the children, but the children are not happy for that decisions - they feel a hole in their life instead.
