Seminar paper from the year 2004 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies - Literature, grade: 2,1 (B), Technical University of Braunschweig (English Seminar), course: Proseminar, language: English, abstract: In this paper I want to write about the education Jill Ker Conway got according to her autobiographical novel "The Road from Coorain". I want to show the influences of the different kinds on her development and the conflicts that appeared. I will start with the education she received at Coorain and later go on with the different schools she visited in Sydney. I will only write about the education Conway got from her parents or at school. Her experiences at university do not appear in my paper since I wanted to concentrate on the years which are the most formative influences in a person's development and also the conflicts that appeared in Conway's educational life.
