Task 1. Article 20 (1) Everyone has the right to freedom of peaceful assembly and association. (2) No one may be compelled to belong to an association.

In Article 20 of the Declaration of Rights it clearly states, ‘everyone has the right to freedom of peaceful assembly and association.’ To me it is a core principle and should be a prerequisite for teaching human rights. In addition no one can take rights away from people, as it is clearly defined in the Declaration of Human Rights.

Task 3.

a) Identify the rhyming pattern of this poem and provide an example. The rhyming pattern in the poem is AABB.

b) Explain what a 'charter' is and how this title links to the content of the poem. The term ‘charter’ is an agreement by a country’s legislative or independent power where a company, city, and/or college is created and it’s rights and privileges are clearly defined. The title links to the content of the poem, because a charter occurred for the aboriginal community, yet rights within the community have not all been met.

c) "Opportunity that places White and black on equal basis" How do these two lines link the poem to the concept of social justice?  These two lines describe that opportunities make black and white equal, such as job opportunities. The lines of poetry describe that these opportunities are what make black and white equal. Also people who are wealthy make them equal on basis.

d) In **paragraph** form select **TWO** techniques used in this poem and write about them using the four step process: 1. Identify technique  2. Provide example  3. Explain the effect  4. Link back to Social Justice  NOTE: You must use complex/sophisticated techniques not basic 'repetition'  In the poem ‘Aboriginal Charter of Rights’ by Oodgeroo Noonucal, uses the technique Wit that is used in the line, ‘Make us proud, not colour-conscious’ this is a brilliant and sharp use of language, which expresses the idea in an interesting manner. This gives us an idea of how aboriginal people feel towards the way they about this topic.  The poem also uses constant contrast throughout the whole poem, such as, ‘Give us Christ, not crucifixion’ this makes us think of the things that the aboriginal community wish, and instead they propose the other things that they deal with. This makes people who are and can willingly do something, help. It also gives us the knowledge on what we can fix in their community and want we can do in contrast to the situation present.

e) What is the purpose of the poem? and How do you know this? The purpose of the poem is to inform other white Australian’s and society of what the aboriginal community faced. She states the situations that they were facing and contrasting to the alternative option that they wanted. We know this through the use of rhetoric question throughout the poem.
