How do the creators of your texts manage a balance between solitude and a dependence on other characters?

The creators of Beneath clouds and Raw create and also balance the solitude and the dependence of going it alone through their strong story line of facing separation and battling against their own problems around them. Both texts show deep meaning of how the people around them help and provide support to the characters in their own story lines.

The beneath clouds movie is an Australian production that has a young girl (leena) face the adversity of living in a bad environment. Leena faces that problem head on by going to the main town Sydney from her small poor town to find her long lost dad. Leena meets characters along the way of her jounery. A key character that she meets along the way is Vaughn who is a young and juvenile boy. They create this relationship which by they help each other and become closer together.

Ivan snel the director makes this relationship really grow along the way where leena and Vaughn are walking stride by stride together. The cotton is an example how the relationship between them two takes a new meaning. Vaughn hails down a car which is transporting a aboriginal family.

Instructor: E. Hilts Wallace Essay: Cover Memo October 16, 2014 They Say/I Say has truly been beneficial in the process of rewriting my Wallace essay.

Music has for a long time been my exclusive method of defining, containing, and sustaining myself. I do not hold any other artistic medium in as high regard, and that has built up a great bit…
