What is the message on my page in the Rabbits?

The message on my page of The Rabbits is that the higher class society with more technology will come on top and it is basically saying that technology out runs old fashioned ways.

Analyse Representational Meanings.

Reading Path: On my page on the rabbits the Reading Path goes all around the page as it stands out among the sepia and your eye travels from sentence to sentence and as you look from each sentence your eye floats around each picture.

Vector: The vector in this page shows a white newspaper like tear which grabs your attention to each picture and also the writing near each one gets you to look at each picture and at the same time understand the text.

Symbol: The symbols on this page are 1 the native animals symbolising the Aboriginals and the Rabbits being the British as they spread about and colonise. Also symbolised is a war going on which goes back to when Aboriginals fought back. Also the Rabbits are shown with explosives and guns showing that they are a higher class and are more advanced than the natives.

Motifs: In the page an idea that is repeated a lot is when you see the many pictures which depict war you look at each one you get the same idea because they all share the same concept. An example of this is the Rabbits motto: Might=Right which shows that they are the dominant race

In this page many different techniques are used. These techniques do bring out the message of the book very much. The message that I believe is in The Rabbits is that Might=Right. This also happens to be the Rabbits motto. I say this because the British took the land by force and by what they believe in is right. It also points out that by being mighty that you will reach your objective. Reading path brings out this message as it directs you to the motto of The rabbits which says Might=Right. The vectors in the book show each picture and also the dominance that The Rabbits have in the story how they are the higher class in society. Another technique which reflects the message are the symbols as they symbolise the Rabbits as the British which are shown as large and important. Also they are shown to be like giants and dominant giving them ultimate supremacy. Another symbol is the Rabbits flag, this flag shows arrows going in various directions. From a distance it looks somewhat like the British flag but the meaning of the flag is that they colonise and spread around the land. Another is motifs which in this repeats the pictures of the Rabbits standing up tall so we get the idea that they are rulers etc. Als0 the vectors go around some pictures on the double page spread and lead to a new image and they are separated by the vector. They also show a cause and effect on one page such as the British introducing new animals and new food. Then a vector separates an image which says: “but some of the food made us sick and some of the animals scared us”. This again highlights the message of how the Rabbits way of living is superior and they are mightier.
