As he takes on the frontier in Alaska, the film takes on the style of an adventure story. Because it follows Chris’s life story, it is biographical. However, it is told through Sean Penn’s lens, which is based on Jon Krakaeur’s interpretation of Chris McCandless’s writings, and interviews with those who knew him. Although the audience of Into the Wild knows Chris dies, the drama is heightened as we see his deterioration and anticipate his death. Chronology pagesThe film does not follow a conventional chronology. It flashes forward to Alaska, to Chris’s death, before taking us back, to show the journey leading up to that moment. The narrative flashes back even further to grainy images of Chris’s early years. By doing this, Penn explores Chris’s psychological rationale for leaving as he did. The sequencing affords greater suspense and drama, because the film takes a long time to reach what ■ Into the Wild (2007) we know will happen. 16 PEARSON english • VCE Comparing Guide Knowing: Into the Wild 17 Comparing texts You can also explore concepts within themes, as shown in the following table.

  • Australia in the Salman Rushdie Archive
    Australia in the Salman Rushdie Archive VIJAY MISHRA Murdoch University The Salman Rushdie archive (print as well as digital) was purchased by Emory University in October 2006 for an undisclosed sum. Rushdie himself is on record as saying, ‘I don’t see why I should give them away . It seemed to me quite reasonable that one should be paid’ (The Sunday Times). When the archive was officially installed on Thursday 25 February 2010, Rushdie reflected briefly on the relationship between an author and his archive. Rushdie declared at the outset that he was never archive-minded; his working papers and peripheral material indiscriminately and as if through force of habit were thrown into boxes without any real desire to return to them. To Rushdie an archive tells a reader what a writer did ‘on the way to other work . a means of getting from here to there.’ In lectures and talks at Emory University (2007– 2011) Rushdie has confessed: ‘To me the book at the end’ is the important thing; ‘the process is not very interesting.’ To scholars entering an archive, the opposite is the case. The archive which was opened for public use on 26 February 2010, that is, a day after installation, is housed on the tenth floor in the Manuscript Archives, and Rare Book Library (MARBL) of the University’s Robert W. Woodruff Library. In MARBL the ‘Salman Rushdie papers 1947–2008’ carry the Arabian Nights (minus one)-inspired millenarian manuscript collection number of 1000. The hardcopies are described as ‘102.25 linear ft. (215 boxes) and 55 oversized papers (OP)’ and the overall archive is divided into 11 with, where required, subseries within each series.

  • 'Tracks' Director John Curran and Photographer Rick Smolan Discuss
    SUBSCRIBE MENU ‘Tracks’ Director John Curran and Photographer Rick Smolan Discuss Bringing Robyn Davidson’s Journey to the Big Screen Emily Manthei good film is a journey: a story that takes the viewer from beginning to end on a movement through space, A time, and emotion. Tracks is also a “journey” film in the literal sense. It’s the true story of an Australian woman’s solitary walk across nearly 1,700 miles of Australian desert from Alice Springs to the Indian Ocean and the photos of an intrepid National Geographic photographer who dropped in on her along the way. But, more importantly, it’s a journey film in the philosophical sense, as it invites viewers to take their own journey: from curiosity to discovery; self-doubt to confidence; adolescence to adulthood. It’s the journey so many of have experienced in the open-handed, non-destination-based travels of youth. John Curran’s new film starring Mia Wasikowska is this mesmerizing, filmic journey, adapted from the real-life traveler Robyn Davidson’s 1980 memoir of the same name. It was written after the overwhelming response to her National Geographic article and the photos by Rick Smolan, which accompanied it in 1977. Adam Driver co-stars as Smolan. The story of the film began in 1984, when director John Curran was 24 years old, a native New Yorker on his way to Australia to escape the hectic, ambitious world he knew. He was handed some reading material for his journey: “A Day in the Life of Australia,” a giant coffee table book filled with lush, gorgeous photos of places he had never been, photographed by a man whose name he did not then know: Rick Smolan.

  • Robyn Davidson on 8Th July 2004
    Interview with Robyn Davidson by Tim Youngs ABSTRACT In an interview with Tim Youngs, conducted on 8 July 2004, Robyn Davidson discusses her relationship to Australia and her peripatetic existence, which she compares with the movement of traditional nomads. Refusing an easy identification with them, she nevertheless admits having a romantic feeling for their lifeways. Modern forms of post- industrial rootlessness, she acknowledges, are not the same as ancient forms of Post-Printnomadism, which are disappearing with globalisation, a process whose effects she plans to represent in a series of films. Reflecting on her travel books, Tracks and Desert Places, Davidson talks of how they are artefacts and their narrators creations. The construction of a persona affords her a welcome anonymity. Writing about a journey is to relive it but also creates a distance between the event and the writing. Davidson likens travel writing to the novel and she considers some of the characteristics of women's writing. Finally, developing some comments made in her introduction to the Picador Book of Journeys, Davidson talks about the future of travel writing. Note on contributor Robyn Davidson is the author of Tracks, which won the 1980 Thomas Cook Travel Book Award, and of Desert Places (1996). She is also the author of the novel Ancestors (1990), which was shortlisted for the Premier's Award, and a collection of essays, Travelling Light (1989). She edited The Picador Book of Journeys in 2001. TY I know you're in the middle of packing for a trip to India and you've talked about how you feel yourself to be nomadic, having a home nowhere and spending your time between three continents.
