Butcher Boys - test feedback


For my Grade 10s .......


The Butcher Boys by Jane Alexander
Some points to consider from your test.....

1. Do you read ALL the questions first, and then plan what goes where?
2. How is your General Knowledge (about SA history)?
3. What do you understand by 'body language'?
4. What do you understand by 'physical relationship and space'?


By the end of today you're going to need us   
Photo-montage by Jane Alexander

Through her work, Alexander seeks to identify the manner in which violence, aggression, cruelty and suffering are conveyed through and contained by the human figure. 
The alter ego of aggression is vulnerability. 
Those who are secure and unthreatened do not need to bully, but when an entire nation is insecure, all its members become both aggressors and victims.
