Global issue: The role of human connection and community in promoting healing, and survival in
times of crisis and trauma

Texts chosen
Literary work: “The Road” by Cormac McCarthy

Non-literary body of work: "1966 Larry Burrows, Reaching out, Vietnam War images TIME (1966)"

Notes for the oral (maximum of 10 bullet points):

1.Somber and desolate tone -> atmosphere of emptiness emphasizing the importance of
relationship and communication for survival

2.A lot of dialogues through the book -> importance of communication -> support and
understanding, helping them find meaning and hope in a bleak and challenging world.

3.Minimalistic writing style and simplistic dialogue reflect the challenges of communication,
emphasizing the significance of meaningful conversations.

4.Symbolism -> father talks about "carrying the fire," on line 21 -> encourages his son to continue
living by their principles even when his father dies.

5.Repetition of phrases like "You'll be lucky again" and "Keep going" shows the father is trying to
make his son motivated and not to give up.

6. Emotional impact of the photographs depicts soldiers' profound bond and sense of responsibility
towards their wounded comrades.

7.The depiction of soldiers in motion -> harsh reality of the battlefield -> the crucial role of
comrades in saving the lives of soldiers when they need help.

8. Eye-level view & natural colours -> immerses the viewer in the scene, evoking empathy ->
allowing them to experience the challenges faced by the soldiers.

9. The soldiers' gaze -> towards the wounded draws viewers' attention to wounded soldiers &
highlights their awareness and care for their injured comrades.

10. Bandage on the leg -> in contrast to the overall picture -> (symbol) care, help, efforts made by
the soldiers to save their lives
