Character Analysis: A Letter Belonging
Assessment Task – Belonging

Dear Mum, Dad and everyone else who have been a part of my life so far,

If you are reading this letter, I’ve probably already left Cobar and started my journey to find somewhere that makes me feel at home, somewhere that I belong. I know that this is most likely going to come as a massive shock to you, but I feel going and discovering new places is something that I really need. I've also written this letter to you because I feel it’s best not to talk over the phone now as this may be a hard pill for you to swallow. I’ve written this letter, to offer you an explanation for my decision. As I said before, I know this is probably going to be hard to take in, but all I’m asking is that you accept my decision and

I’ve always been attracted to the city life, just hearing about it from my friends who have been to places like Sydney, has always fed my dreams of experiencing the city. From all the stories I've heard, city life would be a perfect fit for me. I’ve always been the impatient type, you know that. I've always complained that life in the country was too slow for my liking, and now I’m finally going to experience a more up tempo lifestyle. I’m gonna go to uni and train to become a teacher, hopefully a PE teacher, or if that doesn’t work out for me, something else along the lines of sport of some description. The possibilities on offer in the city are endless, who knows where I’ll end up. I’m going to finally be able to do the things I’ve never been able to do, like go to the beach, watch my favourite sports live, play the sports I love but haven’t been able to do because of how remote Cobar is from

    There is perseverance seen in most of the characters in the novel. First of all, the characters do not have the desire to give up on something, no matter the circumstances. For instance, Liesel writes a letter to her mom and sends it, using Rosa’s laundry money. To demonstrate, Liesel commits to writing the letter and risks using Rosa’s money that Rosa worked hard for the family, to send a letter to her real mother. Secondly, they progress on their skills to prove to someone that they can do it. Particularly, an idea of this is when Liesel learns how to read and write with Hans.

    “Make mistakes, take chances, be silly, be imperfect, trust yourself and follow your heart.” (Mary Lopez) Something Borrowed, a novel by Emily Giffin expresses the themes of friendship, relationships and the unfairness of life.

It’s pretty much now or never. If I were to give advice to any character, it would be Rachel.

    The actions a person makes demonstrates the characteristics that develop and change during their life. A person's characteristics defines a person and it shapes that person. Mariam began her life as a young, hardworking, independent, quiet, thoughtful child from Afghanistan that was brought up in a small shack outside of the city of Herat with her mother Nana. She is also a strong girl that is unable to do bigger things for herself because of the constant reminder of her just being nothing but a harami or a bastard child. She is as well a very inquiring and an ambitious girl, she gets no support from her mother, only her tutor Mullah Faizullah and her father. Mariam was raised to support herself because Nana was often attacked with a jinn (a dark spirit that enters the body of a person) making her unable to complete her household chores having Mariam do instead. Mariam loved her rich father Jalil, not really understanding that he left her and her mother in a small shack because her mother Nana got pregnant with her. Being that Mariam started to be with her father more, her mother Nana decided to take her life thinking that Mariam left her. She struggles with trying to have a normal prosperous life because of this incident. She had always strived for a better life, an education and happiness but it seemed that life would not grant her those luxuries. Moving into a house with her father Jalil and his many…

    It is very true that for an individual to feel they truly belong requires the ability to embrace change. Belonging is a complex process and concept; it is not something that is felt strongly or sustained unless many elements work together. At times, one may need to compromise decisions and embrace change to achieve a sense of belonging. It is also true that these changes may be a result of relationships with those surrounding an individual, and they may have to compromise part of themselves in order to belong within a group. This is very true of the way in which we see Raimond and his father come to feel they belong to each other and to other members of their community in Gaita’s memoir, ‘Romulus, My Father’. It is also true of the way Charlie is made to feel he belongs within his new friendship group at school in Stephen Chbosky’s epistolary novel, ‘The perks of being a wallflower’, and the reason why he had trouble being accepted by his peers earlier in his life.…
