Belong: Charlie Day and Jasper Jones

Hello all, I am here to drop forth my ideas ab show up my perception of drop deading via reading Jasper Jones by Craig Silvey, and The Happiest Refugee by Anh Do. simply first get through, what is Belonging? Belonging I regain, is when you have your pair around you, and youre having a good time, k straightawaying who everyone is, fitting in basically. exclusively there can be other parts of belonging when you dont rattling know people. For example, belonging to a school, unless whilst belonging to it, you could still be bullied or harassed.Whilst I was reading Jasper Jones, I came to notice that Carlie, the main denotation and narrator of this story, belonged to his own world inside his head, where he stores words, as if its a prize, however he cannot flaunt them, for the town is a mining town, and it would look that he is trying to be better than them, on the button because he seeks education. only when back to Charlie, he loves to read, and express his feelings on pap er, where he can just dive into his own pool of creative ideas, and thats where he truly feels he belongs.Then I go over to The Happiest Refugee and delve into its bindings, and try to find out if Anh belonged in the Australian culture, and whilst there was was some ups and downs for him, he finally came to. He met a girl, they shared intimacy and he had his local sports footy club, where he belonged to both. provided did Charlie feel as if he belonged to his family? I didnt study so. His mother acted as if she she just had to put up with them, because of her secret love life from afar with another man.She didnt imagine they were worthy of her presence, and if you read the book, you could see the dialogue in which the mother and father had intensive arguments about not talking to severally other, the father drifting away and just locking himself in his room. there is also a video which I think is interestign to watch, it was called Who do you think you are? And this episode was for Christine Anus family, and her search for her family heritage.After she was famous and now considerably old, she is now just beginning to wonder who her other family members are, thinking she does not feel as if she belongs to anything, as she has no idea what her family was like. So they go off an an adventure, and discover the family members, and Christine gets emotional for each member found, and it is a fascinating watch. But to her, as I said, to belong was for knowing who her family members were, what they did, what they acted like.Now back to Anh, and his belonging to his foot formal game club, at first in school, some people tried to friendless him, launch him feel bad, and that was one of the teachers for Anhs classes, where they were supposed to make posters about how they scorned the asian race, despite Anh being there. But I dont think it phased him as much as the teacher wanted it to, in fact, he strived to make himself belong further, to make the teacher accept him, and he eventually did, but Anh didnt feel right about it.And there was one bit in the book, when a member from the other football side they were playing called him a gook, and Anhs team mates heard him say that and went on to thump that participant as much as they could every time he got the ball in his possession. So that showed his belonging to the team, whilst when they finish the match, they go off on their different ways a bit like Jasper Jones.Now I dont think Jasper Jones ever truly belonged to everyone, I dont believe he had any friends, the totally town hated him, perhaps for his race, or the fact that he steals, and they then push all blame onto him. Then when Jasper found the horrifying mount in the glades, and came to Charlie for help, I think that is when he genuinely had someone to belong to, to confide in, to tell him things, to let it all out.I mean, all the boys grudgingly look up to his footy skills, and the girls were all wild about him in secret, but s till null approached him, just as no one approached Charlie, and that is probably what compelled Jasper to knock on his window that night, to share with him all those things, to take the adventure together. This is my perception of belonging, and I will most likely never understand the concept of it completely, but I have typed out what I think of it, throughout the tierce texts that I have had to talk about.
