The reason that he got S.H is because he had seen nelson get shot and then kill himself on page (57) it put him threw the stress of having a dead friend that is when

    “Racism is man’s gravest threat to man- the maximum of hatred for a minimum of reason.” (Abraham J. Heschel, Jewish philosopher). Richard Beynon’s ‘The Shifting Heart’ was first published in 1960, and insightfully explores the impact of racism. It is based on the lives of the Bianchis, an Italian family living in the suburb of Collingwood, during the post World War II immigration boom. As a literary device, symbolism is the representation of a concept through underlying meanings of objects. Beynon portrays the message, ‘racism is a result of intolerance, not the specific races alone,’ through the use of symbolism as well as the various racial attitudes of characters. The set of the play, harmonica and Christmas Tree are all vital in depicting the play’s theme and message. The use of symbolism in ‘The Shifting Heart” strongly highlights the contrasting racial attitudes towards the cultural differences of characters.…

    I feel that since Charley is so young going into the war he will change. I think Charley will be forced to do some jurassic horrifying thing that the human mind can’t get over. He will be forced to do something really scarring. This memory will replay in his mind over and over again. He will constantly wish he was not in the war. Since in my prediction he does something terrible I think that he will grow up and become a man. A child/teenager would not come out of the war without growing up. As a result in this, I feel that Charley will develop a “Soldier’s Heart”. According to page XV in the book a Soldier’s Heart, “While the same horrors existed as those in modern war being born then, the wholesale killing by men using raw firepower, was very new and so misunderstood.” This is talking about how killing other men…
