The film, Rabbit-Proof Fence, is directed by Phillip Noyce, and it is a film about three young Aboriginal 'half-caste' girls (Molly, Daisy, and Gracie) who were forcibly taken away from their families and taken to the camp at Moore River Native Settlement to be taught to become servants. A couple of days after arriving at Moore River Settlement, the girls run away from the camp and go through a terrible journey of one thousand five hundred miles trying to find their way back to their family. An Aboriginal tracker, Moodoo is called to find them. The girls cover their tracks and avoid Moodoo, getting help from village people. “She pretty clever girl. She wants to go home.” They experienced fears and doubts along the way to Australia to make it back to their family. Throughout the film, Noyce uses many effective film techniques to analyze the emotions and characteristics of important individuals to show specific scenes such as camera angles, lighting, filters, and dialogue.

There are many charactics for leaders of change. There are bold, determined, confident, brave, and so much more characteristics of leaders.

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.

Discuss the symbolism and motifs in the ‘Rabbit Proof Fence’. What do they represent and how do they contribute to the story?

The film Rabbit-Proof Fence by Philip Noyce takes place in 1931 in a small town named Jigalong in Western Australia. Along the town is a rabbit-proof fence that runs for miles through the Australian Outback. The film focuses on three aboriginal girls, 14-year-old Molly, her younger 8-year-old sister Daisy, and their 10-year-old cousin Gracie. The officers removed the girls from their family and forced them to assimilate into white society. The chief A. O. Neville legally removed the aboriginal girls from their family because they were half-castes which means they are half one white parent and one Aboriginal parent. In this case, the girls had an aboriginal mother and a white father who was a worker near their area, but the father in not take part in the girl’s life. The Chief wanted to take away all the half-castes from the Aboriginal homes so they could eventually breed the aboriginals out of existence as well as give the half-caste a better life in their modern society. These camps held lots of indigenous children and trained the children to become laborers and servants for the white families. Soon after arriving at the Moore River camp, the three girls escaped after the first night and made a 1,500-mile journey home. Molly, Gracie, and Daisy left as soon as it began to rain so their tracks could be covered. Although at the camp, the workers soon noticed the girls had escaped and sent the Aboriginal tracker to go find them and return them back to Moore River camp. The girls later found the rabbit-proof fence and followed it north to find Jigalong. On their way back to home, they met an aboriginal man who told the girls that Gracie’s mother was in Wiluna and she could take a train to meet her. Soon after Gracie parted ways, the tracker captured Gracie and they returned back to Moore River. Daisy and Molly continued to follow the fence and finally arrived home to meet their mother. Although, the family had to leave to go hide in the desert in order for the family to stay together. After the movie ends, there is a short clip of the real Molly and Daisy in 2002. The captions said that Gracie did not survive her way back to Moore River Camp and she was never seen again. Molly also stated that the government took

Leaders change systems, structures and policies that have not yet been confronted. They hire, promote and develop employees who can implement the vision for change. In addition, they revitalise the process with a new round of projects or change agents.(Cengage Learning AUS, 2015)

The play Fences by August Wilson centers around the character of Troy, a middle-aged African-American man. Troy struggles to keep his family together, mostly as the result of mistakes he has made as a husband and parent. These mistakes reflect certain personality traits that make up Troy’s complex character, including his obsession with providing financially, his inability to love his family, and his stubborn insistence on others following the paths he decides for them. These character traits can be explained by the social, racial, and economic climate of the time. Fences takes place in late 1950’s Pennsylvania during the beginning of the Civil Rights Era, and Troy’s character is shaped by the disappointments that have come along with racism and economic difficulty, along with not being up to date on the changes happening in the Civil Rights movement. Although Troy and his character traits are responsible for the tragic decisions he has made, it is possible that the social context of the time has shaped him into the person he is.

“I had a very difficult childhood I was surrounded by people who had both parents, which made me feel different because I had to do all the work myself in order to succeed.” In the stories, Behind the Beautiful Forevers and Rabbit- Proof Fence the authors used different techniques and good strategies.Katherine Boo did a better job at explaining the challenges faced by the characters by using good dialogue, descriptions and details

The film Rabbit Proof Fence written by Phillip Noyce, how the theme identity relates towards the racism between the aboriginal girls who survived this crucial policy, the Australian government brought upon their nation.

When talking about leadership, I would think of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and his influences on the American civil rights movement. His famous speech – “I have a dream” is one of the most compelling in all times. The speech was powerful because it was simple and brought out a clear and focused theme. The audiences’ emotion was agitated instantly by his speech. And the reaction and impact were enormous. Of course, leadership is not only about powerful speeches, but involves the leaders’ characteristics and their abilities to influence others.

Symbolism in “The Rabbit-proof Fence” The movie “The Rabbit-proof Fence”, directed by Phillip Noyce, tells a story of family values through Molly Craig’s journey of 1500 miles on foot, travelling from Moore River back home, Jigalong, with the rabbit-proof fence as her only guidance. Throughout the movie, the rabbit-proof fence becomes the iconic symbol of the connection between Aboriginees and their home. “The Rabbit-proof Fence” sets in Perth, Australia in the 1930s, when the Australian government was still heavily under the influence of racial discrimination. One of the prejudiced policies was allowing half-caste children to be taken away from their families and to be installed in a special ecclesiastical school.

In this paper I will identify and explain the leadership concepts that I learned in this class using characters from the film Finding Nemo. To do so I will provide examples of transformative leadership and describe the impact it had on others. I will also explain how the characters acquired their leadership effectiveness by identifying experiences that were instrumental in their leadership development.
