Good morning/afternoon teachers and students. For my presentation I have chosen to display and explain how distinctive visual texts affect how we see the world and our relationships with others. The following slides consist of images and quotes from our prescribed text Maestro and the well-known Australian poem ‘The Man From Snowy River’ written by Banjo Patterson.

For my second picture a have chosen three hairless kittens. This image is describing Keller’s pale hairless skin. Similar to the cats Keller has no hair and is pale very close to a newborn babies appearance or young child.

The third image I have chosen is Keller’s watch. This picture represents past, present and future in Keller’s life. The positioning of Keller’s watch how it is just below his tattoo shows that every time Keller looks at a watch he is...
