Thinking, exploring, questioning and responding
This
afternoon we viewed and made sense of the sophisticated picture book ‘The
Arrival’ By Shaun Tan.
The Arrival is a migrant
story told as a series of wordless images that might seem to come from a long
forgotten time. A man leaves his wife and child in an impoverished town,
seeking better prospects in an unknown country on the other side of a vast
ocean. He eventually finds himself in a bewildering city of foreign customs,
peculiar animals, curious floating objects and indecipherable languages.
