Jonah Takalua is a year 8 student at Summer Heights High. He is celebrating his culture by participating in 'Poly Day'. Fiske's discussion about "subcultural reading of a television program", reminded me of Jonah. He discusses how sometimes an underrepresented group identifies with a character that is most similar to them (p. 70). Maybe someone from Tonga, living in Australia, identifies with Jonah. Or maybe, even someone whose not Tongan and not living in Australia, identifies with Jonah Takalua.
