Welcome from the Editor

A NOTE FROM THE EDITOR

Welcome back to Scribble!

Thank you for picking up this ‘zeitgeist’ special of the magazine, which we are very pleased to now be sharing. On behalf of Lily, Grace and myself we hope you enjoy reading through the variety of articles that have been contributed. The theme of ‘zeitgeist’ is an emotion that is evoked from a particular event or period of time; I hope that this edition is one that can be viewed as an exploration of ideas. This edition is unique and something that I hope all readers find interesting; an array of exciting articles await you.

There has been a number of people who have put in lots of effort to make this next step in Scribble’s journey a reality. I would like to invite you to read Mrs Gutman’s interview as she explains her opinions on many different zeitgeist topics as well as information on why people should attend her weekly discussions. Also, there is a fascinating article written by Aaina Jassel on survivor stories, a riveting piece written by Willow Dowd on Jekyll and Hyde, an engrossing feature created by Libby Driscoll on feminism, and much more. I would like to thank Mrs Pardoe for her hard work in bringing this magazine to life. Being involved in the mechanics of Scribble has been an insightful experience. After being included in previous editions, taking up the challenge of becoming an editor at the beginning of Year Thirteen was something that I believed would empower me to be expressive and creative. Scribble has lived up to my expectations and more. For me, Scribble has been a chance to talk about the literature I love and to discover the thought-provoking opinions and ideas of others. It has given me a pathway to explore texts away from the curriculum and it has allowed me to compose articles presenting my interpretations. Being a part in creating such an enthralling collection of pieces is something that I will always be proud of. Every edition I have been a contributor of has been unique and that is the real beauty of Scribble. I have loved every aspect of it, and I hope that enjoyment is found when reading this edition. As my time as editor draws closer to an end, I know that this experience of seeing my work printed in such a wonderful magazine is something that I will always remember as being one of the most liberating opportunities.

Thank you for taking the time to read through this edition of Scribble.
