Task description: Above is my image for The Fly
Meaning: The meaning behind this image is from light to dark but well travelling though this you also experience The War, The Fly and The Ink-pot. Its called War
Image Selection:
I choose an image of a soldier, fly and inkwell. The soldier represents The Boss' son who dies in the war. The soldier is facing the fly and inkwell because he is the reason behind the fly's suffering. The fly is in the middle because it is the main event of the text. The reason behind the fly's suffering because of good and bad reasons; the fly would have died as it fell in the ink, but The Boss removed it, tortured it and eventually killed it. This was in response to his sons death. The fly's near death experiences were similar to the son who died in the war.
Colour Choice
The colours represent the darkness of the story, meaning depression and death. The light means happiness and hope, and life. The black colour also represents the ink because it was involved in the fly's suffering and because the boss needs it for his job.
Text Choice
I choose the word war because it is a central theme of the text although it is not discussed much. I put the word up above because it was very important, it is an overall struggle; there was so much struggle above all else in the war. The story is all about this struggle or conflict. The characters struggle with grief, with life, with the war. There is a war inside of The Boss's head. He has internal conflict, which drives the story.
