Changing Perspective Speech Yr 11
CHANGING PERSPECTIVE SPEECH- BY ETHAN GRANT CHANGING PERSPECTIVE SPEECH- BY ETHAN GRANT
Good morning Yr. 11
Change is an ongoing process that involves the alternation of one state to another. However, the way individuals respond to that change is largely determined by their perspective, of how they see and understand things as well as their underlining psychological, social and moral constructions. The process of change may be natural and it involves pre-change, and outcomes which can be good, bad positive or negative.
I have been studying two texts that’s symbolise change ‘’ the door’’ by Miroslav Holub’s, and ‘’The Truman Show’’. These I will be talking to you about today and presenting to you an artefact that symbolises change and how meaning is made in each of them.
In Miroslav Holub’s poetry “The Door” portrays the change as a process. The poem begins with the command “Go and open the door” which actively encourages the responders to explore change. “The door” symbolises the barriers which enclose and restrict people’s perspective to those of present. It also symbolises an entry into a new world of possibilities to gain a new perspective. The use of “Maybe” in italics and its repetition conveys that change has no certainties, but its results are dependent on the person’s perspective and interpretations “Maybe outside there’s a tree, a wood”. However, the use of an optimistic tone persuades the reader that “If there’s a fog, it will clear.” The use of figurative language describes the worst possibilities of change “even if there’s only the darkness tickling, even there is only the howling wind” then builds to a climax with a reductive sentence structure “even if Nothing Is there”
This technique effectively forces the responder to read slower, until the last stanza, the conclusion which contains the theme of the poem “at least there’ll be a draught”. It shows that whatever the possibilities, whether good or bad, people will
