Answer:

Explanation:No Sugar is a postcolonial play written by Indigenous Australian playwright Jack Davis, set during the Great Depression, in Northam, Western Australia, Moore River Native Settlement and Perth. The play focuses on the Millimurras, an Australian Aboriginal family, and their attempts at subsistence.

The play explores the marginalisation of Aboriginal Australians in the 1920s and 1930s in Australia under the jurisdiction of a white government. The pivotal themes in the play include racism, white empowerment and superiority, Aboriginal disempowerment, the materialistic values held by the white Australians, Aboriginal dependency on their colonisers, and the value of family held by Aboriginal people.

The play was first performed by the Playhouse Company in association with the Australian Theatre Trust, for the Festival of Perth on 18 February 1985. It also was chosen as a contribution to Expo 86 in Canada[1][2] No Sugar forms the first part of a trilogy, the First Born Trilogy, which also includes the titles The Dreamers and Barungin (Smell the Wind). The trilogy was first performed by the Melbourne Theatre Company in May 1988 at the Fitzroy Town Hall.[3] The play won the 1987 Western Australian Premiers Award[4] and in 1992 the Kate Challis RAKA Award for Indigenous Playwrights.[5]

The play utilises the perambulant model, which is a technique used in drama to dislocate the audience involving multiple points of focus. Throughout No Sugar it is employed to convey a sense of displacement to the audience, representative of the isolation felt by the Aboriginal people unable and unwilling to assimilate to white culture.

Essential question: what is relationship between power and freedom? What has this speech taught you about power and freedom?
jekas [21]
The relationship between power and freedom is that they are both centered around feeling accomplished and dealing with the privileges of freedom or power and how having one or the other goes to show the socioeconomic status of the person who has it. Freedom and power are interconnected to give one the idea of importance and the effects of believing a cause and how this can result in either power or freedom.

How does this final stanza of ah are you digging on my grave use irony to disappoint the speakers expectation?
Hoochie [10]

Answer:

It uses irony to show that despite her expectation of being missed by someone, no one seemed to have the same sentiment. rather, she found that her dog was the one digging, not because he missed her but to bury his bone. He also added that he had forgotten she was buried there.

Explanation:

The final stanza of the poem <em>"Oh, Are You Digging On My Grave?"</em> by Thomas Hardy shows a dead woman expecting someone would remember her. The lines goes like this-

<u><em>"Mistress, I dug upon your grave </em></u>

<u><em>To bury a bone, in case </em></u>

<u><em>I should be hungry near this spot </em></u>

<u><em>When passing on my daily trot. </em></u>

<u><em>I am sorry, but I quite forgot </em></u>

<u><em>It was your resting-place."</em></u>

She heard someone digging her grave and then she began guessing who that would be, her husband 'who must have missed her' or her family or even her enemy. But it was none of them but rather her dog. Even then, she was happy to know that at least someone remembered her. Ironically, the dog wasn't there for her but rather to hide his bone in case he gets hungry on his walks. This irony in the scene's reality and the narrator's expectations shows how she must have been missed by someone. But it was nobody except her dog who wants to hide his bone not because he felt anything for her. Not only that, he also mentioned that he had quite forgotten that she was buried there.
