Character Analysis: Rainbows End
We belong when we feel connected to others and the world. This notion is clearly portrayed through my texts Rainbows End by Jane Harrison, The Rabbits by John Marsden and The Ugly Ducking Illustrated by United Artists. Belonging is a mind set, which is at times affected by factors such as social status, individual circumstances and culture. Problems can often arise due to these factors and through my representations of belonging I will reveal and evaluate these significant issues.
My first text Rainbows End supports and reveals, to belong is to feel connected to others and the world. This will become evident through the use of symbols, slang language, formal language and tone found in this text. Rainbows End is a play set in the 1950s based …show more content…
This line reveals they do not share a relationship with the rabbits as they do not understand how they talk. The two-page illustration also depicts the numbats looking on as the rabbits work. In the image the building that is being erected in the background is illustrated as a puzzle. The numbats don’t see the buildings for what they are, but as a puzzle, a particularly baffling problem.

This raises the issue of conformity, if everyone conformed there would be no individualism and everything and everyone would look exactly the same, nothing would be unique and people would lose their identity.
When comparing my three texts together we see that belonging is frequently subject to people’s social status, individual circumstances and culture, although this is very bias and discriminating it’s the harsh reality. All three texts demonstrate that materialistic and shallow necessities aren’t necessarily a life essential but are often the key to belonging.
Through representation, interpretation and evaluation of my texts I have discovered significant issues caused by belonging and not belonging. I have also discovered and proved through a vast array of representations of belonging that we do belong when we feel connected to others and the world; I have shown this through my use of symbols, slang language, formal language, tone, repetition, hyperbole colour and
