2016, High School, Writing

I wrote from the perspective of someone unhappy with celebrating Australia Day as she and her husband are part of the Stolen Generations. My story relates to ‘Always was, Always will be’ because it shows how people celebrated 200 years of white settlement in Australia when nobody celebrated Indigenous settlement. I wanted to write about someone a part of the Stolen Generations, so I imagined being taken away from my family and then people celebrating it.

My story, Family of Foreigners, relates to reconciliation as my story acknowledges the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples as the traditional owners of this land. It conveys this message through statements for example ‘I belonged right here’ and ‘always be our lands and our home’. This story relates to the theme as it recognises the fact that Australia has always been their land and their home, no matter what circumstances. I created the character because she had an interesting and relevant perspective and I could describe strong emotions.
