1. The salience of the male figure juxtaposes with the marginalisation of
the buildings in the background emphasising the selfish nature embedded
in the human condition,. Moreover the side on camera angle projected
upon the man again explores this concept by suggesting that we only care
about ourselves rather than those around us.

2. What factors does Richard Glover feel are important in shaping
our interactions with others? (2 marks)
2. As Glover alludes to the Garden of Eden with the intertextual reference
underscoring our internal curiosity as a driving force behind the nature of
our conversations. Moreover the repetition in position, position, position
again serves to portray the countless times we are forced into interactions
by an urge to find out more

4. How are ideas about alienation and isolation explored in the
extract? (3 marks)
4. Malouf examines the human attribute of alienation and isolation in order
to critique the lack of compromise that results in such an outcome. As the
persona describes his village when They feed me. They provide a corner
where I can sleep. They are not uncivil with anaphora he offers the
audience a greater understanding of the connectedness that results in
individuals willing to reach a compromise when establishing relationships.
Yet If anything, I am ignored, left to my own devices, to wander about the
village, with the tricolon presenting the more negative retributions in
isolation , a key factor in the Human Condition, when compromise is not
offered in relationships. Moreover the synecdoche in the whole village is
an armed camp again reinforces the impacts of absences of commitment
in social relationships which leads to the marginalisation present in human
nature. Therefore it can be seen that Malouf examines the role of
compromises as a key feature that affects the human feature of isolation

5. In examining the Human Condition in light of its multi-faceted nature,
we come to understand the underlying human desire for social interaction.
However it is the factors which drive our need for connection that creates
our diversity. Both Text 2 (Opinion Article) and Text 3 (Extract) successfully
showcase this concept through the portrayal of the issues of curiosity and
fear of isolation as driving factors towards our interconnectedness.
Text 2 accentuates upon our curious nature by which we are lured towards
establishing social connections as a source of human diversity. The
recurring motif of pots in our life can be hard or easy depending upon
where the pot in placed presents audiences with visions of our uniqueness
in the symbol of the pot as an object containing the unknown. However
our diversity is revealed to be dependent upon the ever-present nature of
our curiosity in the use of the motif. Furthermore as Glover idolises the
Garden of Eden with the intertextual reference we are further officered
curiosity as a key factor behind our socialisation which makes us unique.
Whilst the garden imagery in splash of watershaft of sunlight again
strengthens the parallels between our curiosity and uniqueness in the
symbol of a garden a place of exploration.
Similarly to how Text 2 focuses upon curiosity as a factor behind our need
for connection, Text 3 demonstrates our fear of isolation that drives our
interactions and fosters our multiplicity. As the persona [wanders] all day
in a dream, the hyperbole creates an atmosphere of apprehension that
creates our communication. Yet the grassy imagery in the stubbed fields
into the desolate plains suggests that as a result of our forced
communication we are a unique species much like grass in to our forms of
foliage. The anaphora in They feed me. They provide me with a corner
where I sleep. They are not uncivil reflects our repeated interactions
formed due to our feats that allows presides over our diversity. Moreover
the synecdoche in The whole village is an army camp fosters images of
the distinct multiplicity of the human condition as a result of our driven
communication.
Therefore by examining curiosity and fear as key factors that drive our
interaction we can observe that the Human condition is shown as a
diverse and unparalleled notion
