Page - Quote - Technique - How it adds to your understanding of a theme

Additions that I think use language or make links particularly well I have changed the colour of.

__ **Imagery, Descriptive language, Figurative Language etc** __

**__Relationship between the Visual and Spoken/ Written__**

**__What is Visible and what is Invisible__** p.48. "[//with disgust]// Sleeping with a Jap? I'd never have done that- not for anyone. How could you go on living with yourself- or look your family in the eye? //This is a shattering remark for SHIELA, but she does her best to conceal any reaction.// This statement spoken by Bridie, followed by Shielas reaction, tells the reader that a past event has occured that Shiela has kept secret from Bridie. This invisible remark from Shiela, that goes unnoticed from Bridie, assists the reader in discovering that Shiela has done sexual favours for the Japenese soilders and has kept this from Bridie. This is an example of the theme Survival, Friendship and War and Atrocities.

**__Symbolism__**

p.49 scene6- a few spoons of rice. I didn’t miss them. This statement by Sheila showsthere friendship and symbolizes the bond that these two have formed while inthe POW camp. They were always starving and already on small rations of riceand Sheila gave up her food for her sick mate because the Jap’s refused to feedher as she could not work **__﻿__**
