Understanding Displacement Through "Deadly, Unna?" and "The Red Tree"

This presentation explores the concept of displacement as illustrated in the novels "Deadly, Unna?" by Tom Robinson and "The Red Tree" by Shaun Tan. "Deadly, Unna?" narrates the journey of two boys, Dumby Red and Gary "Blacky" Black, who navigate their interracial friendship amid pervasive racism in a coastal South Australian town. In contrast, "The Red Tree" captures the feelings of loneliness and alienation through imagery. Both texts depict displacement, shedding light on themes of exclusion, identity, and belonging.

Presentation Transcript

  1. Displacement. Part B By tom Robinson

  2. What is displacement • Displacement is the act of moving someone or something from it’s place or position.

  3. Deadly, unna? • “Deadly, unna?” tells the story of the interracial friendship between dumby red and Gary “blacky” black. Set in a small coastal town in South Australia, it is a rights-of-passage story about two boys confronting the depth of racism that exists all around them. The novel is written from Blacky’s point of view and covers the period leading up the football grand final and the summer after

  4. How does this relate to displacement • Deadly Unna relates to displacement because in this story the aborigines are treated different/excluded from doing some things by other people. • Eg: They have to use a different part of the locker room at Afl.

  5. The red tree. By Shaun Tan. • In the red tree the girl is feeling alone/displaced. • I think that the picture in the background relates to displacement because the large size of the glass bottle and its position being close to the viewers eye is contrasted with the fainter, less visible image of the ocean creating an absence of belonging

  6. I hope that my presentation showed what displacement is and how it is relates to both the “red tree” and “Deadly, Unna?”
