We had to do an essay on a book called crossing, which has short stories on crossing boundaries(physical,mental etc.)the book is called "crossing" and is by agnes nieuwhenheizen and tessa duder.

The essay statement that I will be discussing in this essay is 'crossing the boundaries is all about freedom.' In this case I definitely agree that this is true as it is portrayed in various short stories in the book "crossing" by Agnes Nieuwenhuizen and Tessa Duder. We also see how freedom plays a main part in the related text 'Mild Swan' in a story about immigration and family life.

The story 'shadow strangers' is about running away to attain what the artificial beings define as freedom or their very own 'paradise.' The story is based on two teenagers who run at the risk of their own lives just for the sake of freedom. Freedom is one of the main concepts in this story. "But I'm so tired of running. I don't care if I live or if I..." You see one of the physical boundaries they cross of just running and running.
