		The Response Phase Fatal Shore The play of 'The Fatal Shore' was introduced to us with just the word put up onto an overhead projector.
		The class brainstormed their ideas of what they thought this meant, people came up with words such as death, sea, and sand, this was effective as it brought our imaginations into the work and everybody got a chance to listen to other people and adapt on their own ideas.
		When we had all thought up our ideas we were told what 'Fatal Shore' was actually all about, that it was brought about in Georgian England and that criminals were transported to spend the duration of their punishment away from England.

		The Fatal Shore: History of the Transportation of Convicts to Australia, 1787-1868 (Harvill Panther S.) by: Robert Hughes
		The Fatal Shore is a thorough investigation into the convict system between Great Britain and Australia with a strong slant from the perspective of the convicts themselves through letters written home as well as the use of documentary evidence.
		Robert Hughes has clearly researched the subject matter in intricate detail and the end product is a fascinating insight into the few positives of the convict system and the many negatives (made up primarily of the story of Van Diemans land and Norfolk Island's arbitary punishment system, ie.

		In the opinion of this reviewer, a work based on The Fatal Shore would be of enormous interest—it reveals a chapter in world history that is not widely known, or that is usually presented largely in clichéd form.
		The Fatal Shore does not aspire to be a comprehensive study.

		In an interview with Corriere della Sera on Monday, Bossi, who has frequently threatened to pull out of the government coalition if his "reforms" are not applied, suggested Italian marine patrols ought to fire on oncoming vessels full of illegal immigrants to deter them from ever reaching the country's shores.
		While the bodies keep washing up on Italian southern shores, the Italian government attempted this week to play down the problem, releasing figures that show the numbers of illegal immigrants arriving in Italy had almost halved this year compared to last.

		It was, as this brilliantly written account of the convict transportation system argues, the sketch for the twentieth-century Gulag.
		"The Fatal Shore follows convict transportation from the squalor of Georgian Britain and its obsessive fear of mob violence to the grim prison hulks - Noah's Arks of small-time criminality - that disgorged their human cargoes into the most elaborate penal system the world had ever seen.
		Many of those who survived the first fleets were condemned to starvation, disease and horrifying brutality, and yet within eighty years Australia became a promised land to which people have flocked ever since.

		The official search is long over, but Paul's family and friends still grimly scour this fatal shore.
		CHARLES WOOLEY: In retrospect it's probably too easy to say that there were fatal mistakes made on that fl day here at Black Point, that once one person was in the water in those kind of conditions, no-one else should have gone in, but that was human nature, human nobility, probably.
		If there's anything that we've got to learn from what happened here, perhaps it's this piece of advice to all of those thousands of Australians who will continue to go rock fishing no matter what the danger, and that is - if you have to do it, at least wear a life jacket.

		The Fatal Shore is quite a human interest story.
		Overall, The Fatal Shore is like Solzhenitsyn's work in featuring inspiring stories of human persistence against totalitarian systems.
		My only gripe with The Fatal Shore is that it ends a bit prematurely with the of termination of prisoner "transportation." It's left to the reader's imagination to guess how the "convict stain" was wiped out of the Australian imagination and how Australia became a modern nation.
