    In the SHS, the composer creates a distinctively visual image of the suffering of the POW’S. Through the projection of photographic slides, images of extremely starved and emaciated women are depicted. In conjunction, the slides of the children who are shown to be, “stick thin, obviously starving, dressed in rags, filthy,” reveal the extreme suffering of the POW’S. Additionally, an image of the suffering of the POW’S is created through the use of soundtrack. The soundtrack of the machine gun fire, and the cries of women are heard and this creates the image of the insignificance and vulnerability of the women compared to the Japanese Army, this forces the audience to visualise the atrocities of war provides the audience with a haunting impression.

    Distinctively Visual can form meaning when the composers are either sending messages or emphasising certain aspects of a character, an event through the use of particular images. In act two, scene thirteen of ‘the Shoe-Horn Sonata, Misto uses photographic background images to covey the idea of what is truly happens in the war field. ‘On the screen we see a photograph of the atomic bomb that destroyed Hiroshima – the infamous mushroom cloud. This is followed by a photograph of the devastated city.’ Also when Bridie stated ‘they wasted no records of what they’d been doing’ P.80. These examples reinforce the responders to understand how the war is structured and how the government covers up past event or experience over time. The images give a devastating shock to the responders and help compare the truth of war within current reality. Thus the audience are able to linking the different images to the events in this case when the war was occurring and after the war had occurred images emphasising the truth of war.…

    This is because the children with their sad weeps are pulling the viewer into the moment in time. For example, the little girl who is not wearing clothes and has her hands spread apart is sending a message to the viewers of the image that the village just got bombed and that the effect was striking enough to strip her of her clothes. The use of emotion on each of the children’s faces show fear which draws the viewers into the image. Even though viewers were more than likely not physically present when the image took place, they can still feel attached to the image and feel sympathy for the children, especially because of the sad looks on their faces.…

    The image on page twenty-one depicts the scene of the boys’ father and friends driving when an Aboriginal boy jumps put at them in hopes to scare them. The use of dull colours makes the reader focus on the Aboriginal boy who has a spotlight on him from the headlights. The photo of the blurry Aboriginal child at the bottom of the page could symbolise that the Aboriginal child was slowly being forgotten or that he was in the back of the boys mind and was a constant memory. It could also tie to the theme of the Stolen Generation as children went missing and became nothing but a blurry memory for their families to remember. Next to the boy is an empty packet of tablets and this could be the illustrator’s way of telling the reader that the boy was depressed and since the background is black that could symbolise nothingness or darkness that the boy feels is engulfing him. The series of images at the top of the page could portray scattered memories that the boy is using the tablets to escape from. An excerpt from page sixty-five “them finding me on my bed, almost gone” gives evidence of the boy wanting an ‘escape’ from the grief he feels and possibly making a suicide attempt to permanently escape the dark places in the depths of his mind.…
