The pictures we encounter can have a huge impact upon our view of life and how it should be lived. Most often they are used to entertain us and remind of us of good times. Images can also make what seems unbelievable and incomprehensible all too real.

What are some images that provoke your thinking on the context?

Have you encountered any images that make you think of the set texts?

Explain how any of the images you view in relation to the context inspire ideas for writing that resonate with the set text.

You can use flickr, etc, to post images to this page. If you are not sure about the copyright of an image you want to present use a hyperlink to direct others to it. Some of you might like to add pictures/paintings that you have created. You might also like to present a photo of your own.

In the Secret River, many of the new settlers hated the aboriginals just purely because they were not like them at all. Their skin colour was different and the way of style was far different from them and because of this, they massacred and drove away the aboriginals from their homes. In the real world, similar cases occur, with powerful organisations killing each other due to difference in beliefs and races. I think this is pure childish acts and people should start thinking not only for themselves but for other people as well.
This picture shows us four friends from different cultural backgrounds. Their faces show no hatred towards each other – just happiness and joy. Yes, people have differences, with physical attributes being one of the most obvious of all, but like these kids, I’m sure there is a way for all of us to understand each other and not worry about the differences we have with another person.

    When you type the title for our text the has a capital letter - 'The Secret River'. When typing a title put it in italics to show that you are referring to a title.

    Spell Aboriginal with a capital A.
