Dear
Fellow Rappers,
Our memento
for the book “Refugees,” is a key, to symbolise when they were released
from the cage into a new swamp. It represents freedom because they were
imprisoned in the cage and also metaphorically the key was used to unlock them
from their un-welcoming journey. Since this story is a metaphor about how human
refugees find new homes, we think that if anybody was in a detention centre they
would want the key to get out, and while the
ducks were in the cage it was like they were in a detention centre,supposedly
for the best. Almost free...
The
memento we chose for our book (“Belonging” by Jeanie Baker) is a teddy bear. The
teddy bear represents the time, life and change of a girl named Tracey’s
experiences. Tracey’s life is observed and embodied by the bear throughout her
life. This is visually shown as the bear is put into different clothes and
costumes as Tracey grows up.
Dear fellow rappers,
We read the
book called “At the beach” by Roland Harvey. We chose a
black and sooty piece of charcoal as our memento because it represents their
favourite night at CrabbySpit Caravan
Park when they were dancing around a bonfire and having fun.
