human experience of john and Billy such as struggle for adversity, pursuit for dream and the

PEEL model
Point: The main idea of the topic is the way individuals and collective human experience such as
struggle with adversity, the pursuit of dreams and the search for identity are represented in the
text. It has explained the way individuals struggle in adversity, manner in which they pursuit or
follow their dream to achieve the end goals and search for identity or type of person that
individuals want to become in future circumstances. Therefore, the topics are related to human
experience that helps you in getting knowledge the way dream can be pursue, identity can be
search and struggle is face and manage in adverse situation. For example: John is boy that has
been stuck in adverse situation as it does not have good financial condition and always force to
follow the standard lead by its elder people in the family (Marchment, 2018). Therefore, it was
not happy mood even on the festival days as not having sufficient amount of money and freedom
to enjoy the same.
The search for identity can be explained through example of another human experience in
which the john after completing its higher education has make efforts to identify its identity or
want it want to become in future circumstances. All the family member has started pressuring
John to be independent and successful person rather than just enjoying the life with having fun

and entertainment. Therefore, this incident has motivated john to lay emphasis on finding its new
identity to be differentiated from others.
John was forced to follow the footstep of its father to become a common man having a
secured job in reputable organization. But it dreams was to become a singer so despite of all
them such as its father, family and professional are against it he pursues singing or it dream.
Thus, it was struggling for its identity, dream and adversity.
Evidence: The John case can be evidence with the book of Billy Elliot, in which it has explored
about the three human experience such as pursing the dream, search of identity and struggling
with adversity. Likewise, the Jackie has been struck in poverty mining community that explore
“struggle with adversity”. Secondly, a portray having theme of “search for identity” that is Jackie
has shown that Jackie has been striding back and forth to mining bus so it was turning point for
Jackie and its identity (English-studies-stage-6-2017-sample-work-year-12-billy-elliot-extende,
2020). Thirdly, The Billy wants to become a dancer but its father has enforced him to pursue
boxing and being a normal boy but it pursues its dream.
Explain: The above points such as struggle for adversity, the pursuit of dream and search for
identity can be evidence that John does have good financial condition as well as person to
support him that lead in struggling from adverse. Secondly, it was lazy so more pressure from its
family has enforced it to devote efforts to identify its identity that acts as evidence for identity
(Peachman, 2020). Thirdly, despite of all the challenges, John has follow its passion or dream.
Link: From the above story or case of both John and Billy, it can be stated that human
experience various things in their personal life that contribute in their overall growth and
development. Likewise, there are various adverse situation that are not bear by individuals or
cause them harm thus they are not happy and satisfied. Furthermore, the individuals need to
devote time and efforts to recognized their identity or what that they can achieve better through
making best use of their existing skills and capabilities (Peachman, 2020). At last it can be said
that pursing the dream throughout the life contribute in motivating a person to live its life happily
and peacefully.
