Belonging to people: * Romulus and Raimond – Raimond reinforces his love for his father through the dialogue, “Ich liebe dich mein Vater” (meaning ‘I love you my father’) which conveys the love and respect he has for his father.
Raimond writes that “just as I had been with him during the time of his terrible affliction, so I was now again with him in his mortal agony.” This comparison indicates that Raimond has always supported his father through his troubled times and so demonstrates the strong bond between father and son.
“The funeral was a day before my fiftieth birthday,” juxtaposes the celebration of life and the mourning of the dead, thus accentuating the significance of his father’s death to Raimond. * Hora and Romulus – When Raimond asks Hora to join him in visiting Romulus and Raimond writes that, “of course he did.” The truncated sentence highlights Hora’s loyalty to Romulus thus signify the strength of their

    Led by Porcius, a short, unlikeable legionaire, the Romans ran down the twisting alleys, the Visigoths hot on their tails. Suddenly Porcius jumped through an open door, closing it as he ran in. Romulus, near the back of the group, swore under his breath. Romulus was a tall natural leader with the usual Roman blonde hair and sharp features. While his heart pounded, he saw his long time friend, Marcus’ black hair, unusual in Rome, bobbing in the middle of the group. Romulus had led a dozen legionnaires and veterans in an ambush against a small group of Visigoth troops. However, there was a large group of enemy troops nearby, and it quickly became clear they had to retreat.…

    We both knew that we were both in for a hard days work as we had to plough the land. Romus was a skinny figure. His ears stuck out and he had bulging blue eyes. I knew that he desperately wanted to be a free man and to be living his own life rather than someone elses. However I could not afford to release Romus or Adobis as my family and I needed all the help that we could possibly get. Unlike Romus, Adobis was quite a big figure.

However in Shaun Tan’s picture book ‘The Red Tree’ captures a moment in time, a partial fragment of a girl’s life. In a similar way, Russel Drysdale has captured one significant moment in time, in his painting Boy Running, Cooktown. These texts portray that to gain a full understanding of belonging it is essential to experience significant moments in time. Conveying that belonging isn’t easy and that there are times where you may not be accepted, so attitudes to belonging can change over time depending on these experiences.…
