Thinking about how 'Maestro' represents 'Growing Up'

Here are the notes that we took today about the various ways in which Peter Goldsworthy represents the concept of 'growing up' in his novel, Maestro. 

What is the book saying?	How are we positioned to see this?
- Experiences - New experiences – learning/discovery - Finding one’s identity - Journey - Alterations in perspective/attitude/etc. - Growing up is not the same for everyone. - Growing up can be influenced by various factors, including other people - Growing up can be difficult + may not lead to expected/desired outcomes.	- Plot development – what happens in the story - Imagery à setting becomes important in mirroring/explaining the ‘new’ aspect - First person voice à point of view of character - Characterisation - Motif - Embedded/underpinning values, etc. - Language choice

Thank you to Mathilde for sending through her notes :)
