Remark
“Reading books has improved my speech and spelling, i am the second smartest girl in my class but im really popular aswell, thanks to reading books. thankyou, books!”

Visualisation
I see Denisha as one of a teenage girl who really want to be the best, the smartest and the most popular among her group. There are many good and bad perceptions about how she can use her intelligence.

Before – she only committed to her best practice on popular trend to show other people that she’s the no 1 and no else can beat her. And I don’t think in her inner heart she really cares about nature.

After – She’s a smart girl, talented and will be able to have her best practice if she lives in a good environment and have someone guiding her.

Remark
“This is one of the most memorable books I have read. The lyrical prose, with a turn of phrase foreign to my Anglo ears was a joy to read. However, the book itself was what has remained with me – it, and its characters, haunted me for months after. I now give this book to as many people as I can. My love of books started with authors such as Ruth Park, Ivan Southall, CJ Dennis, and the Norah of Billabong series.”

Visualisation
From the book she was reading, I perceive Julia Clayton as a woman who comprehends the importance of life and social ecology. Her appreciation of any significant issues leads her to share her experience and teach others about environmentalism and invite them into her circle.

Remark
“I owe my love of books to my mother. Due to my father’s job, we travelled a lot while I was growing up. Everywhere we went, I witnessed my mother devote the most profound love and care for her books, always refusing to leave any behind even when crossing large oceans. As morbid as it sounds, she has promised me her entire collection in her will and it means more to me than any jewellry collection. Anyway, my mother has often told me that when my brother and sister and I were litte, she used to carefully place all of our books under our pillows at night, because she liked the magical idea that the words would whisper through our ears at night. I love to hear my mother tell that story, and her efforts have not been in vain: I love books, and want to be a writer myself.”

Visualisation
I see Clementine as a grown up who pay respect and value against his family, especially to his mother who he portrays as a role model. In addition, educative influences in children’s environment from good family background are really important. Generally it does have a huge impact for young learners to form themselves to be better person. Then hopefully they will expand their knowledge given by their parents and sustain their sense of appreciation towards their surroundings, both for their own good and other people.

Nevertheless, children who live in unhealthy family and environment, most likely they will grow up to be like one as well.

A time for me to search my identity and career is still ticking. The effect of human nature which can be classified as sociology, sociobiology and physiology on what’s around me will keep changing and redeveloping in different kind of ways. But I can always choose the path where I’d like to focus on to shape myself as a person that I’d like to be.

I had found what’s interest me as a junior designer. I like to express my imagination, creativity and send messages to people in a better way. My self interest will keep growing cause by my sense of curiosity and discovery through out time. I’m still seeking for experience and searching what ever I can find to expand my knowledge.

Sunflower can be symbolized as an environmental goal that we can branch it into different kinds of ways. My knowledge about environmental issues were still a blur and as a result of that, it becomes some kind of an ignorant.

Sustainability has become one of the main subjects I’m learning this year at Swinburne and I believe I will gain more knowledge about it which as a result it will take me closer on how to achieve the goal to sustain this Mother Earth and send this message across to people.
