Belonging is a complex and multi-faceted concept that highlights how we see ourselves and interact with things around us. It is an inherent and fundamental human need to feel connections with peers where having connection with people and places is an essential process of finding a sense of belonging and results in having the feelings of joy and security. No connection leads to despair and estrangement where individuals experience the absence of belonging. It can be ambiguous and transitory where individuals either change their attitude to belonging or have a dilemma between belonging and not belonging. Peter Skrzynecki's poems Immigrant Chronicle, Phillip Noyce's film Rabbit-Proof Fence and one related text Only ten which is written by Allan Baillie all convey those ideas of belonging and not belonging powerfully throughout various poetic, film and novel techniques.
