Scene's Possible Impact on Identity
1. Describe the Scene -
In the story ( Beyond the Lines) Students are learning about about World War ll, ( am guessing the boy is day dreaming ) because there are two young boys in battle around paper soldiers, every time a solider is shot letters fall out of him, the boy woke up and realized he was in the attic with his grandfather while he was reading letters.

How does this impact someones identity ?
- This could impact someones identity by the symbol of what they have, in the story the letters from the war were a symbol about the grandfather in the war.

Theme Analysis " Beyond the Lines "  in the story it talks about War, this boy in the story is learning about war in school  and his grandfather was in the War. The main idea in the story is how the solders are made out of letters, letters were very popular in the war because soldiers would send them out to their family.
The story ends with the boy in the attic with his grandfather reading old letters from the War.

The opening sequence of this film swoops across an old am and students studying World War II may recognise the names of the Normandy landing beaches.

It is to here that we are taken, first we see the eye of a scared soldier and then a group of soldiers huddled together on transport vessels ready for battle. Once discharged they race up the beach - it is at this point that we realise that something isn't quite right.

Two young boys are caught up in the battle surrounded by pale, paper-faced soldiers.

There are clues for the viewer to hint that the war is not actually being played out for real as there are artefacts which jar with the setting.

The paper soldiers,

Grammarphone,

Child's trike,

Toy truck,

Television

Playing cards,

Garden furniture

Suitcase.

However, the battle does seem very real to our two characters. They look around in desperation and one face stands out in the crowd of faceless soldiers and it seems that the boys know who this is.
They race towards him and take cover before witnessing the horrors of war at close hand.

Papers flutter to the ground around the fallen men, are these the letters to their loved ones? More death and destruction is witnessed before a figure swoops across the boys and the scene fades to black.

We soon realise that the boys are safe and in the attic with their grandfather. They had been alone reading letters.

There are some possibilities here about the significance of the letters:

They are the grandfather's letters showing what he witnessed during the war;

His chest says that he was the quartermaster. Perhaps these letters were left with him whilst their owners went off and were killed. All that is left of them is the letters. Is this why they are portrayed as paper men in the animation?

Teaching Ideas

Discuss how the men on the boat would have been feeling as they huddled on the boat on their way to their impending doom.

Think about how to develop a piece of writing that reveals that all is not what it seems; introducing the boys and giving clues about the soldiers.

Create setting descriptions of the battleground and also of a contrasting place and compare the use of specific vocabulary such as colour and mood.

Write a first person narrative through the eyes of one of the children, one of the unknown soldiers or 'young' Grandad.

Create a third person narrative retelling the story as we see it on the film.

Discuss the meaning of the paper men.

Write letters home from the front to their loved ones. (Doesn't need to be a sweetheart)

The film allows for discussion about the impact of war over time.

Write down your answer to this question - Does place impact identity?
Yes and No it depends on how you are raised, living in a rundown town could still have benefiting people but it could also show how much people dont care about their environment to keep it clean.
Share your response with a partner.
Rewrite your initial response making it better.

My Character - Cinderella

An idol to me you where
In my head
You weren't a drawing or a made up character
Being you  would be a dream come true
Growing up i forgot about you
Instead of playing with barbies i  became one
Looking for a happy ever after i  was hoping i was on my way to one
am 17 now and my love for you grew back
I realized life smack and cracked you just like me
i wanted your happy ending not the beginning

Mood/Tone
War Hurts Everyone  Protesters were very active during this time, american people felt unfairly treated, forced and sorrow for others, men were the target and some of them fought back.
In this picture is a group of people saying "End the War in Vietnam" this was only a small part of the outraged people, Men were very blunt about going into war they burned there draft cards so they couldn't go in.
In the beginning it seemed like "yes i am an American and i should fight for my Country" but as it went on they realized their there friends and brothers were getting killed everyday and the army needed more boys, for young boys they had no choice but for adult men they seemed to be the most scared.
Hearing about the children and innocent people dieing because of the war scared everyone in America.
