Hi everyone

I am new to this forum ..

I was hoping I can have some feedback from you all about my speech. At first, I
have only my introduction.

The question: "Discovers foster a reevaluation of the self, others and the wider
world". I'd need to discuss how Rainbows End relates to discovery and incorporate
techniques to support it

Ladies and gentlemen, what does discovery mean to you? How many discoveries do
you make a day? How do these discoveries foster a re-evaluation of yourself, others
and the wider world? Is it possible that the discovery of water on Mars and the
incredible discovery of gravitational waves proposed in 1916 and finally discovered
in February of 2016 change the way we see the universe? This immaculate
discovery leads us to re-evaluate not only what we had believed in prior to the
discovery but this discovery is expected to open up a whole new avenue for
researchers to study the nature and history of the universe. Today, I come from the
University of NSW to answer these questions and to discuss in this seminar how the
play Rainbows End by Jane Robinson communicates the concept of discovery.
Discovery is the process of revealing something which has been unknown or
concealed resulting in a wealth of knowledge, which ultimately leads us to foster a
re-evaluation of ourselves, others and the world. Discoveries usually involve a
catalyst which may be led by curiosity or motivations. It may involve a journey that
an individual will embark on, in order to achieve the truth. It may involve a
transformation, they can be confronting and provocative whereby the consequences
of this particular discovery leads us to change, which can both internal and external
and both positive or negative making us see the world differently. These varying
typeso f discoveries are seen and explored throughout Jane Harrisons play Rainbows
End.

Rainbow End is a play written by Jane Harrison which explores the historical context
and political setting of Australia in the 1950s by the factual events of Queen
Elizabeth lls visit to Australia and the growing Americanisation of Australia post
1945. Which is represented through American pop-culture such as Pick a box and
radio personalities such as Bob Dyer. The play explores the political subtext which
reveals the representation of the First Nation People in terms of protectionism,
assimilation and self-determination which also explores other issues such as
Aboriginal housing, forcible removal of children and the rights of citizenship thereby
the audience can discover in great depth the damning indictment treatment of

Aboriginal peoples and the continuous protest led by Nan Dear and Paper Dear.
Harrisons text provides an insightful understanding of the ways in which we
discover and transform ourselves through our interaction with others as well as the
consequences of colonisation by White Europeans and its impact on the other are
skilfully explored in Harrisons play revealing the possibilities for individual growth
represented through the characterisation, Inparticlar, Gladys and play techniques
which include ....... yet to include

Throughout the entire play we are continuously making discoveries from each and
every character. These are reflected through the use of techniques such as .
The power of discoveries can lead to the destruction of long held generalisation and
change of perception. This is evident through the use .......
