In Africa a lot of children are manipulated into joining gangs killing innocent people because they are taught it is the right thing to do to protect themselves against people that have any sort of power against them, however they don't know that it is corrupting their childhoods.]]> 2018-09-28 10:18:56 UTC https://padlet.com/SarahLangford/RapeOfAfrica/wish/286874221 SarahLangford https://padlet.com/SarahLangford/RapeOfAfrica/wish/286874487 Gold communicates the wealth and power that he has got. The gold objects that he has got within the pile of gold is a gun which represents that he is a killer, a hand grenade which shows that war and destruction is occurring which may link to the bone that his single finger is touching that represents death of the innocent people  that are suffering and dying finding him gold.]]> 2018-09-28 10:19:46 UTC https://padlet.com/SarahLangford/RapeOfAfrica/wish/286874487 SarahLangford https://padlet.com/SarahLangford/RapeOfAfrica/wish/286874566 2018-09-28 10:19:59 UTC https://padlet.com/SarahLangford/RapeOfAfrica/wish/286874566 SarahLangford https://padlet.com/SarahLangford/RapeOfAfrica/wish/286874903 The dress that the woman is wearing looks really fancy however it shows that she does not have any real wealth and that the man buys her the fancy things she owns. The dress is also torn which may suggest that the woman has been raped by the white man which makes the whole of Africa feel like they have been raped as the white man has privilege and power over the woman and Africa]]> 2018-09-28 10:20:59 UTC https://padlet.com/SarahLangford/RapeOfAfrica/wish/286874903 SarahLangford https://padlet.com/SarahLangford/RapeOfAfrica/wish/286876009 The woman's facial expression shows that she isn't bothered that she has been raped by the man however if we look in more depth it shows that she cannot express range/anger due to the fear she feels inside. The woman could have also been raped multiple times by this man which makes her feel dead inside as she does not know what to do as she has to live with it to embrace some of the power that he has got especially when he treats her with the clothes and the gold jewelry she wears.]]> 2018-09-28 10:25:10 UTC https://padlet.com/SarahLangford/RapeOfAfrica/wish/286876009 SarahLangford https://padlet.com/SarahLangford/RapeOfAfrica/wish/286876884 The red blanket with flies represents a corpse as flies are attracted to dead bodies. By the woman sitting on the red blanket it shows that she is sitting on a dead corpse which shows that she has maybe betrayed her people and many of her people have died due to the gold mining that is happening in Africa. Or it could be the old her that has been corrupted due to the white man being overpowering and using her to get gold and using her as a sexual object.]]> 2018-09-28 10:28:58 UTC https://padlet.com/SarahLangford/RapeOfAfrica/wish/286876884 SarahLangford https://padlet.com/SarahLangford/RapeOfAfrica/wish/286877192 The man is represented as a Greek God as he has the physique of a Greek God also by wearing a silk piece of cloth to cover his manhood which could have been after he raped the woman. However the silk represents wealth and power above all royalty as only the wealthy people will have silk items of clothing and silk cloths. ]]> 2018-09-28 10:30:16 UTC https://padlet.com/SarahLangford/RapeOfAfrica/wish/286877192 SarahLangford https://padlet.com/SarahLangford/RapeOfAfrica/wish/286878687 The man has a relaxed facial expression which shows that he does not care about anything that is happening around him he only cares about himself as he has no threats towards him, meaning that he is at no harm at all.]]> 2018-09-28 10:35:54 UTC https://padlet.com/SarahLangford/RapeOfAfrica/wish/286878687 SarahLangford https://padlet.com/SarahLangford/RapeOfAfrica/wish/286880010 The white male represent European colonialism where the white people have more power than the black people.
