The message of the books The Rabbits is tring to tell us that the aboriginals were kicked off their land and taken over and their children were stolen from them.

REPRESENTATIONAL:  The big golden ship symbolises the power and dominance of the rabbits. The participants are the white rabbits, the aboriginals who are watching and the big ship. The ship also represents aggression and power because of the size of the ship, straight lines and jagged points and edges are also used on the ship. There is also one of the rabbits planting their flag into the groud and also the big clouds surrounding them symbolises that something bad is going to happen. The reading path of this d.p.s. starts on the ship because it is the main attraction, it goes up the big front and drops down onto the white rabbits who are walking in onto their land, it then goes up the back of the ship to the flags that they have represented.

INTERACTIVE: Our attention is mainly attracted to ship as it almost covers the whole page and it just pops to your head when you look at the page. The rabbits coming out of the ship are standing up tall and are looking to achieve something so you know that something is going to happen. The gaze of the double page spread 4 is an offer because the participants are not looking directly at us and demanding us to look back at them. the angle of the rabbits is around an eye level. The ship is a low angle as the readers are looking up at the ship which also gives it power and strength over everything else. The social distance to the rabbits is close and the distance to the ship is far. The colour scales are very real and representitive.

COMPOSITIONAL: The most salient feature is the ship as it stands out in the picture and is the largest object; they want us to recognize the significance of the ship. The ship in the picture also uses golden colours to express wealth and power. The informational value is located at the bottom left corner. the frame of the text is bordered by the black sea around it.

The Stolen Generation

Someone
Turns out the last light
A Blackout
And
A dormitory full of black kids sigh

Unknowing

Waiting for parents to return
A shallow promise from government guardians
If you sleep

A white education waits
If you wake
And
Forgive

The theft of your black soul
And
The destruction of your family
