The Rabbits
BriefCase 21
Vectors/Reading Paths
The double page spread that struck me the most was an image with rabbits pointing at the land they were soon to invade and take away from the wombats.
Symbols/Motifs
One of the DPS’s shows a giant statue of a rabbit which tells us that the rabbits (brittish settlers) have now taken over the land. On that same DPS it shows a large ammount of rabbits standing in the background which lets us know that they are now in control of the land. The colours are very dull which expresses the pain and sorrow that the wobats (Aboriginals) had to go through.
BriefCase 23
Informational value
The informational value that I gained from reading the rabbits is how poorly the aboriginals were treated just because of their colour, and how the brittish invaded the land and unfairly took the land away from the aboriginals.
Scalience/Framing
A frame on the bottom left side of the DPS is used to seperate an image from the rest of the page, it is very noticable as it has been majourly seperated from the rest of the page.
