The sporties
Blurb:
The Sporties. The Sporties is a sitcom that focuses on the Australian love of sports and cheeky behaviour. It is set around the time of the Rugby State of Origin and follows a group of supporters on each side. It will be set in multiple location, such as the football field, pub and the characters homes.
The sitcom will portray some modern Australian stereotypes instead of that old white crocodile Dundee stereotype. It will include a multicultural cast include the hard-working man, the high school dropout and their families. It will also demonstrate that Australians love for sport is passed down from generation to generation.
The audience will relate to the situations the characters must face. For example, traffic jams,

Ned is your typical high school dropout who thinks he’s fine without anyone’s help. This can be seen in his personality, he is a stubborn, egotistic, beer loving Australian that always argues a point, despite him not actually knowing why he is standing for that point.
Rodney is another main character in the show. He is the father of Axe, another main character. Rodney is an easy-going man and doesn’t let anyone get to him, but he is not the kind of person that will let anyone push him around. Rodney embodies the Australian ethos of mateship as he is friends with everyone. Rodney is old and is starting to show signs of dementia, which leads to memory loss and many comical situations.
Ned might not be the most liked character in the show, but he should be one of the most relatable characters. Everyone should recognise that at least once in their life their pride has made them argue a point, even after they know they are wrong and they don’t remember why the point was important. The audience will especially like Rodney because everyone has that one friend or relative that is really kind and will be there for

Ned works as a tradie, he is a man’s man. He is that classic all brawn and no brain hard working Australian. Rodney demonstrates Australian life by having this family bond with Axe and that feeling of kindness and mateship that is the fabric of the country. Both men will show that typical Australian love of watching, discussing and arguing about sports.
Ned’s character could be played by Liam Hemsworth. He would be a good choice as he fits the mid-twenties age profile and muscular appearance will help to fit the tradie image. He would mostly be wearing up to date trendy clothes or something that covers him like a hood. When at work he would wear a tool
From the age of 12, Ned was a victim who toiled for his family desperately struggling to provide a decent living for his family. “The Kelly’s were poor people….” “The conditions in Victoria, from droughts to floods...” Things didn’t improve but instead got worse each time. “Ned was in trouble with the law since the age of 12.” Any historical event of good fortune didn’t last for long. This evidently states that Ned Kelly was having a really rough time during the adolescent years. The Kelly’s were unfortunate people who had little money to purchase and live comfortably. I believe that Ned had a criminal history because he found no other way out to help his family but to turn to crime. He stood up to the immoral, arrogant police force in Victoria because he was always targeted by them. Some people might see this character as irresponsible and ill-behaved and they were right to do so, but what they don’t see is how absolutely desperate Ned was to help his family survive. He felt concerned about his family so much to the point where he was willing to steal or kill just for him and his family to live
who is in his early teen years. Billy Ray Jr. tagged along with his dad and Chelsea. He was there because his dad will not be able to be with him during summer since, Chelsea and him are going on vacation. He felt like he got dump by them and was stuck with two old people. He is in his adolescence years and is in identity versus role confusion. Identity versus role confusion is by exploring values and vocational goals, the young person forms a personal identity. The negative outcome is confusion about future adult roles. His father isn’t really in his life too since he is a dentist and his mom threw him away to his dad. So, all he had left were two old boring people at Golden pond with him. At first, he didn’t want to do anything with Norman and Ethel because it was “boring.” Ethel and Norman decides to go fishing and he didn’t want to tag along. If he didn’t go with them fishing then, he will be stuck at home
...rall effectiveness of the play by allowing the audience to make personal connections with the characters as well as strengthening the theme threads.
Jack is the leader of the boys choir group in civilization and he is the complete opposite of Ralph. Jack wants to be leader and won’t let anyone stand in his way he rules through fear and shows signs of militarism and dictatorship.

Jack pretends to show an interest in the rules of order on the island, but he views the differently because they only allow him to inflict punishment. Jack represents greed, savage and the anarchic aspects of man.
T Australians can be represented in a positive way by celebrating its diversity as a united nation, between its people and the land. Nevertheless, Australia can also be seen in a negative way, as being harsh and cruel. S – This presentation will be analysing one Australian song, I am Australian by Bruce
Ice hockey, a sport that has been in existence for over two hundred years, has become a fan favorite across the globe. From Canada to Sweden, you will be able to find some of the best ice hockey players in the world; both male and female.

Since its inception until now, there has been a great deal of gender stereotyping concerning the sport. Regardless, ice hockey will continue to be a lucrative market, as well as a cherished hobby for many years to come.
Neddy’s character is very similar to Charlie from “Babylon Revisited”. Charlie was very fortunate, he lost both his wife and his daughter due to his uncontrollable alcoholism. However, after “controlling” his drinking problem, he decides that he wants nothing to do with his past life.... ... middle of paper ... ...

Through numerous poetic techniques Paterson has shown that the Australian diversity is as diverse as the country itself. The Australian identity concerns the way Australia is viewed by other people. There are a variety of different aspects that contribute to this identity of Australia which include historical icons. Paterson recognizes how lucky we are to live on a land notorious for its diverse landscape. He is signaling that we are missing out and we need to cherish the great land we were given.
There is a reference to our multiculturalism in the lines ‘All cultures together as one. Yet, individual until the game is won’. These lines acknowledge the fact that even though Australia is an increasingly Multicultural society, all Australians, regardless of their ethnic backgrounds, share the same values, principles and national identity.
express ones ideas or opinions (Golding 12). However, Ralph is not the only boy on the island who is looking to lead the boys, and he finds that out when Jack marches his band members in a militant style to the platform where Ralph is deciding what needs to be done for their survival (Golding 15-16). Jack quickly became a cruel and dominating person who tries to impose fear onto the boys in order to gain his own control. This is evident when he begins opposing Ralph’s ideas about building a fire and picking fruit, to make himself look bigger and somewhat tough (Golding 22). However, a vote is thought up by one of the boys and Ralph’s democratic and orderly style of leadership is elected and he becomes the leader of the group (Golding 19). Ralph begins by organizing the boys to branch off in-groups and work for their benefit, such as keeping the fire going, building huts and scanning the island for anything worthwhile (Golding 38). He believes that if everyone contributes by taking on one of the roles for survival, the entire group will benefit and hopefully be saved. Again, Jack opposes to the ideas of Ralph. He h...
Shakespeare's Henry V shows this character as a true hero, perhaps one of his most true heroic figures in all his plays. Hal's success in life depended on two events, two realizations. First, inwardly, he needed to realize who his father really was; and, secondly, his father had to realize Hal as his son, not just a prince.
He confirms his reasons for disrupting the established order when he claims… This implies that he is complying with the rules of nature rather than the rules that most of the society chooses to follow. Edmund believes that an illegitimate being cannot survive under the man-made laws of society, therefore he must infringe them for all bastards to achieve justice. Edmund decides to ascend the chain by means of deception and betrayal in response to the lack of recognition he receives from society and his father. Considering Edmund was conceived outside of what would be “human society’s harmonious order”, he is not required to uphold the social order within the country, since he was never apart of it. Edmund is aggravated that although his “mind [is] as generous” as everyone else’s, he does not have any connection with society, which initiates his continuous plan to disrupt any stable relationships; in response to being an outsider. When Edmund achieves power, he becomes consumed by the benefits that come with being recognized. After Goneril and Regan threaten their relationship with jealousy over Edmund, he responds with, “To both these sisters have I sworn my love…Which of them shall I take? Both? One? Neither?” This shows that Edmund is inconsiderate of the various relationships he is disrupting due to being newly recognized by society. Even after Edmund is acknowledged by his father through his words, “I'll work the means to make thee capable” he is still unsatisfied. Although recognition from his father was partly what Edmund was striving for, the new influence he has over society has made him protective of his title within society. He must eliminate his father from the social order and repel his brother away from receiving Gloucester’s throne in order for him to be ensured the position on the wheel of fortune, permanently. Edmund’s pinnacle of power causes him to utter, This
One particular line that Richard expressed well is “To sleep — perchance to dream: ay, there's the rub! When we have shuffled off this mortal coil, Must give us pause. There’s the respect that makes calamity of so long life”. He pauses at all the right times, raises his voice up and down, and slows and speeds up his tempo when appropriate. By never appearing dull or heavy his portrayal captures the audience’s attention by moving through the different emotional mindsets with ease, never losing the audience in all the ups and downs. Therefore this creates a spontaneous atmosphere rather than a rehearsed one. Through all of this, the inner turmoil that Richard expresses, allows the audience to empathize with Hamlet because he is relatable. To conclude, Richards Hamlet is believable because he is relatable which makes his Hamlet portrayal the best out of the three Hamlet
The youngest Pevensie brother, Edmund, is the mischievous child among his siblings in The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe. He is a representation of the possibility of what can go wrong when a child is not properly taught and does not follow set boundaries. Edmund’s subversion of set standards is the cause of a great deal of the troubles the Pevensies face in Narnia. For example, when he goes to the White Witch’s castle instead of listening to the others when they say Aslan is the true leader. In order to redeem himself, he must first be renewed and return to an earlier state. He is not allowed to stay indignant, but is reformed when he learns that Aslan is really the true ruler, and Jadis is not. He is allowed to do so because of his status as a child who is still developing. Edmund’s corruption and later redemption show that he is not really wicked, but has an innate goodness.
