2) What are some of the themes that are central to the film? How have they been communicated?

Rabbit Proof Fence has been published both as a book and as a movie. Being a reader or a viewer entirely changes our point of view on the story. As a reader, we get descriptive insight on the situations and emotions of the characters. We are then able to re-create these visually using our imagination and have endless freedom doing so. As a viewer, our creativity is somewhat restricted. We do not imagine the characters’ physical appearance, the locations or the overall situations in the same way as in a book. These elements are already given to us. Throughout this essay I will be exploring how the music and the filming creates a contrast between reading the book with elaborate descriptions.

Stanley is in Camp Green Lake. Stanley was surprised that there wasn’t a lake “There is no lake at Camp Green Lake” Stanley said. So Stanley met new people their names were Armpit, Zigzag, and Zero they showed Stanley around the camp. Everybody at the camp had to dig holes. Stanley didn’t like digging holes because it will hurt his hand, feet, and he starts to get tired easily. The good thing for Stanley was he was big so it will be easier for him.

Hole is a story written about a boy and his friend who dies by falling into a hole when he was ten and the boy was eleven and recalling and reflecting on the events that transpired. In The Catcher in the Rye there is a similar event that occurs in Holden’s life around the time he was thirteen and his youngest brother, Ali, was ten, in which Ali dies from leukemia. Both stories feature boys that are ten and ones that are slightly older.

However, in “Holes”, the setting there is dry, hot, and it’s a punishment for the boys for people troublemakers. They’re supposed to dig holes until they physically can’t dig anymore.

This is a perfectly painted picture of what is the platform for the rest of the movie. The main ideas that Scott establishes are developed very well through cinematography and the soundtrack. His use of textbook techniques from the film noir era bring the movie to a new level which it wouldn’t have otherwise. The soundtrack gives us a bleak and often disconnected feeling that compliments the cinematography, specifically in the interrogation scene at the start of the movie and in the closing scenes when it starts raining as Roy Batty prepares to die. Both these scenes are filled with poignant cinematography and appropriately stark and/or 'biting' sound, and typify the rest of the movie.

In the novel and film ‘Holes’ written by Sachar and directed by Andrew Davis, there is a scene where, after Stanley discoverers Zero is in a flipped over boat the two boys decided to find refuge on god’s thumb by climbing the mountain. This scene in the novel and film have both differences and similarities. The characters involved in this scene are only Zero and Stanley as the scene occurs after the two had run away from Camp Green Lake. The main events that occurs in this scene is that the two boys reach the edge of the dried lake and decide to climb the mountain. Both scenes are relatively similar in length, with the movie version being slightly shorter once the boys reach the top of the mountain.

Whilst reading the novel, I never experienced any passion or emotion. I felt that the novel was descriptive but just not captivating to audiences. When reading "Holes" I definitely found myself losing focus and interest. This may be due to the slow pace and difficulty to picture each scene realistically. Time after time, I found myself unengaged and unwilling to continue the novel due to its lack of emotional description. However, in the movie, actually watching the scenes be bought to life engaged audiences and, during major scenes in the plot, enhanced the audiences experience using drama, realism and passion.

Writing has many tools and devices that can be used to influence the purpose and meaning of the a piece of work. In the two pieces of work, "Private License Plate Scanners Amassing Vast Databases Open to Highest Bidders-which is written in a way that it is anti-license plate tracking- and "Who Has the Right to Track You?'-which is written to be for license plate tracking- many different tools and devices are used by the authors. These pieces of work describe the benefits and drawbacks of collecting data and tracking fellow citizens, but use different forms of pathos, ethos, and logos to portray what they are trying to say. Also, both articles state how many are opposed to this tracking, arguing that it is against the First Amendment,

The key themes according to me are: Australian aboriginals: That is what they are, Race discrimination/racism: Neville wants to breed out the aboriginal race and he treats them very poorly compered to how he treats the white race. He talks about aborigines like they are beneath the white race, Lost generation: Molly, Gracie and Daisy would have been a part of the lost generation if they hadn’t fled, Family: The reason why they fled from the camp is so they could see their family again, Home: The hole purpose of the journey is so they can come home again, Australian history: The movie is a documentary about the lost generation, witch is a big part the Australian history, and Hope: Throughout the hole movie the girls have hope for at better future then the on they can get in the camp.
