Evaluative phase

Context: we have studying domestic violence we hade three different stimulus a story called Silent Suffering Anna’s story, a song called behind the wall by Tracy Chapman and the song Luka by Suzanna Vega both Anna’s story and Luka are from the person who is being abused where as in Behind the Wall it is a neighbour who can hear all the violence and does not no what to do I think these stimulus where all very emotional but all in different ways.

These texts all make me feel sympathetic and sad as they are all emotional texts but they all do this in different ways such as in Silent Suffering  the text makes you as a reader feel sorry for Anna but you feel sorry for the children as well when there dad leaves because they don’t understand why he is leavening. I don’t just feel sorry for Anna because she is being hit I also feel sorry for this person because she is blamed for everything she is blamed for him leavening she is blamed for the beating she gets and I think she must also feel really old as well and worn down because she is being left for a younger women. Behind the Wall is different as it is not from the point of view from someone who is being abused it is from the point of someone who can hear the violence and this makes you feel for the characters because you can kind of feel their disperse of not knowing what to do Weather she calls the police or not because if she not is not being abused and she calls the police she will get it trouble and she does not want that so you can tell she just does not know what to do. Finally there is the texts about Luka I personally feel that for me this is the saddest one because he is only a child because its his parents abusing him and you can she there is no care for him and I think that’s upsetting because he is a young child and he should be able to rely on his mum and dad but I can see here that luka can not do this.

What I have learnt from activity in lessons how to are look at the views of different people in the texts such as we looked at Louise John’s girlfriend in the story and see how she felt about the whole situation by hot seating and what she thinks about Anna and John. In Behind the Wall we looked at the actual abuser in a whole group role play when he killed his wife. With Luka we looked at the parents and how it may be the dad forcing the mum to hit him and how the parents treated Luka ...
