The concept of belonging and how it is conveyed is through connections with people, places, groups, communities and the world at large. For someone to feel like they belong, they need to feel the support of friends and family. There are also barriers that prevent people from belonging to a group or society and can lead to negative repercussions. This is explored in both Jane Harrison's play “Rainbows End” and Anh Do and Suzanne Do's “The Little Refugee.” Both texts explore the phases of a physical connection with a place, while being alienated, by the desire not to be accepted because they are different or dissimilar. Jane Harrison uses relationships between characters to create a sense of belonging to each other. The dear family is the heart of Rainbow's End, and their sense of belonging and struggling together is what provides the narrative momentum of the work. Nan Dear is the matriarch and elder, who creates the home where the other two women find their sense of belonging. Dolly has a strong sense of belonging to her grandmother, this shows how Aboriginal people are very close to each other and all belong to one community. As we delve deeper into the story we develop a connection with Nan Dear, her Aboriginal heritage and the wider Aboriginal community. We see that Dolly has just gone to get the roll of linoleum, while dear Nan was walking in the opposite direction and noticed Dolly. Nan Dear then discusses whether Dolly went past the cork trees, which Dolly admitted. As Nan Dear tells Dolly to never pass the Cork Tress again, she says "Mark my work, I'll hit you." We use direct language to get straight to the point. As Nan Dear hears Dolly talking to herself, we see Nan Dear have connections to the Aboriginal community.

When Anh started school his English wasn't very good and he was different from everyone else. “I had different food from the other children and some of them laughed at me” Anh was new at school and didn't know English very well. He ate different food from everyone else and this made Anh feel alone as they teased and laughed at him. Connection to people, family and places is conveyed through the representation of belonging. Harrison's "Rainbows End" gives us the connection between Nan Dear and the Aboriginal community and a bond through family. “The Little Refugee” illustrates how Anh had a barrier that prevented him from belonging and how he adapted at school, resulting in Anh making friends as well as being accepted..
