Change

            
             Through the study of change and in particular the study of changing self, we have been able to extract many ideas on the concept thus developing our understanding of change and its effects. Such ideas that help to convey to us the nature of change are shown through Gwen Harwood's poems, In the Park' and The Glass Jar', through the stimulus piece The Door' and through additional material such as the visual Thelma and Louise' and Shrek'. All these pieces have a common thread and that is that change is inevitable. They also present other ideas to us such as change of self not always being for the best like most people expect, change also involves taking chances and showing us that change of ourselves can lead to us being more accepting of others and that change can be a journey that we do not want to experience but we are forced too.
             The Door' demonstrates to us that change in self involves taking chances. Our understanding of changing self is further developed through the way that the poet uses the authority of the voice to instigate the idea that sometimes we need to be coxed into taking a chance. "Go and open the door- by opening this door you are opening yourself up to new possibilities in your life. It also develops our understanding of change because we realise that we should take all the opportunities that are given to us. The Door' also indicates that while the effects of change may not always be for the best there is always an up side to a negative thing "Go and open the door. If there's a fog it will clear."" .
             The poem also represents that idea that change is inevitable because this voice that we constantly hear through the poem indicates that doors are constantly opening and closing in your life and if you don't take chances yourself eventually you will be forced to. The Door' also shows to us that even if you do open the door and you find that there is nothing there something will eventually come up "At least there'll be a draught.
