Analysis of  double page spread 4

Representational :

The page spread contains a couple of rabbits pointing all in the same direction creating strong vectors, as they set their eyes upon land that is soon to be in the hands of the rabbits. The rabbits are representations of the white men, i think that they have chosen to represent the white people with rabbits because the actions made by the white men have a lot of similarities to those of Rabbits, for example the way rabbits intrude and destroy land with their burrowing and such is a lot like the way the white men came and invaded the land of the indigenous people. The boats size and shape easily make it the focal point of the image, the detail and the colors of the boat are used to represent how the white colony was much more advanced.
