Rabbit Proof Fence

328 Words2 Pages

In their writings, authors Doris Pilkington and Katherine Boo depict stories of families struggling to survive. “Rabbit Proof Fence” depicts Kundilla and his tribe encountering the white raiders again. “Behind the Beautiful Forevers” shows a day in the life of young Abdul Hussain in the impoverished town of Annawadi with his family. Although both excerpts capture and convey the challenges each family faced, I believe that Pilkington is more successful in doing so because of the many strategies and techniques she includes in her writing. Pilkington’s writing is more successful in conveying challenges because of the tone that she uses to convey the feeling in the air. There are many usages of tone throughout “Rabbit Proof Fence”. As the feeling

    The skepticism of Aanakwad led the father to believe that he “saw Aanakwad swing the girl lightly out over the side of the wagon” (Erdrich 393). Louise Erdrich plays with the reader’s assumptions to prove a point; there is more to a story than stated. “The Shawl” portrays traumatic family issues originating from the narrator’s grandparents. Erdrich shows the parting by describing the lasting and detrimental effects on the family each generation.

  • How Does Rabbit Proof Fence Show Racism

    453 Words  | 2 Pages

    I found that Rabbit-Proof Fence showed racism in many ways. Firstly, it is very racist that Neville and other white men call the mixed children “half-castes”. Story-wise, racism is also shown in how the whites strip the children of their parents to educate them to become more like the white society. Neville and his staff belittle the indigenous people as if their culture was barbaric and wrong. At the Moore River school, the girls’ indigenous clothing is removed and they are clothed in white, symbolizing how white society wants to rid them of their culture and teach them how to be white.

One example in which tone is present is: “Her sombre violence constrained him: she seemed the embodied instrument of fate. He pulled the sled out, blinking like a night-bird as he passed from the shade of spruces into the transparent dusk of the open. The slope below them was deserted. All Starkfield was at supper, and not a figure crossed the open space before the church.

  • Rabbit-Proof Fence Relationships

    In the Rabbit Proof Fence, Phillip Noyce wanted us to think about the importance of family and the motivation it can give you to struggle through hardships. This motivation was crucial in getting the girls home which is why the bond between Molly and her mother is so essential. A more negative relationship in the film was between Mr. Neville and the girls. I think Noyce created this relationship to showcase the power of the white men over the indigenous people of Australia. When Mr. Neville says “I’m authorising their [the girls] removal.”
