Hi Isabella,
Lucky you – you’re my first peer review!
Firstly, love the fact that you chose a creative blog post to indulge in, art most definitely has a soft spot in my heart. Your depiction of Ned Kelly and the paradox of hero vs criminal is exceptional, it’s evident that you’ve put a lot of thought into it’s historical context. I admire the fact that you’ve acknowledged Nolan’s contribution to Australian Literature/ Art, as his paintings – specifically this one – left the impression of Kelly being Australia’s ‘Legend’. To my surprise, I actually learnt a lot more about ned kelly in your blog post than I ever did in primary school E.g. never fully grasping the concept that he is one of the first most imperative figures to break away from British constructs, and emphasise ‘what it means to be Australian’ on an individualistic level.
In addition, your sentence structure is configured beautifully. Great effort.
