KELSEY DUNCAN


For some reason Kelsey Duncan has been removed from the group - she will sort it out with the lecture on Thursday. But for now, she is thinking of doing her Re-Write on Rabbit Proof Fence or The Help. She will also update as she goes, and once she can view this. The video below is the trailer of the film.

My Re-Write


I have decided to do my Re-Write on the film/Novel 'The Help' i thought it was an amazing film and has a lot of potential for a Re-Write. I will update pieces of it to this group once i get started. I have a few ideas now, just going to focus on writing.

The First Australians


Hi all I encourage you to watch "The First Australians" every Tuesday 8.30pm Maori TV. Following that is "Blackstone" & then Indigenous Insight at 10.30pm. Super awesome to be informed about other populations and its helpful for our studies too :).

Aspects of Confirmed angle for Re-Write 

Theme: Marginilised

- Low occupations, low pay, long hours, living in the projects. Two worlds colliding between the parents = Mother holding fast to the ways of her Island & the purpose of their migration. Father comfortable, celebrating the freedom they & their daughter have in the USA.

My Rewrite Ideas continued

How She Move Trailer 


How She Move Summary 

My idea is to rewrite some scenes from this movie (see link, trailer & movie summary). Ray the main character, her parents are Jamaican immigrants, she is second generations Jamaican, born and bred in New York. I think I will take on the parents perspective, or a male character or her dead sisters' P.O.V.
