- W2255065348 abstract "This thesis takes the form of a written analytical exegesis (30%) followed by anovel (70%), entitled Frank Davies’ Amazing Frog Catapult, to satisfy therequirements of this degree.The contention of the exegesis is that the meat of writing lies in the creativenature of how a text comes to be constructed, the journeys that ideas may takeand the maturation and realisation of characters along the way. In doing so, thisexegesis highlights how classroom English teachers, as a profession, couldbenefit from adopting the methods that writers use as they develop their art. Inan era in which the My School website publishes school achievement in terms ofquantified, NAPLAN style data, educators need to ensure that creativity is beingnurtured, rather than discouraged.Following the exegesis is the novel itself: Frank Davies’ Amazing Frog Catapult.It is aimed at the younger end of an adolescent audience, probably from Grade 5through to Year 9. Frank Davies’ Amazing Frog Catapult is set in a fictionallocation, Laconia Heights. The unfashionable prospect of an ‘urban sprawl’setting appealed to the author because this in fact is where he and his studentslive. Laconia Heights isn’t a real place, yet it is depressingly easy to find. It lookslike lots of places around Melbourne - complete with ridiculous, or at least wildlyinappropriate, names. Initially, the story was intended as a stinging allegory ofthe way that we Australians ostensibly and regularly approved of theimprisonment of asylum seekers - young, old, able-bodied/minded or feeble.Without losing this original intent, Frank’s character, however, began to defineitself in a slightly different direction as the writing progressed. Characters cannotoperate in isolation from their environment. They are influential and haveinfluence on their surroundings, be it ecological, sociological or physiological. Equally, characters are in turn influenced by their environment. It is anawareness of the interaction between characters and environment – bothphysical and social – that informed not only the novel but also the direction of theexegesis." @default.
