Letter to Joe from Cissie

For my creative piece I’ve chosen to create a letter from Cissie to Joe that occurs in Act 4 as I feel that a letter from Cisse can reveal the way Aboriginals got treated under the white authorities. The scene is set out when Gran and Cissie work on getting Joe out of jail so he can attend Jimmy’s funeral but the sergeant disapproves. I have chosen this scene because it demonstrates the way Aboriginals got treated and how the white authorities don’t really care about them an there family traditions. I felt that the letter being written by Cissie would be best suited due to Joe being Cissies older brother she is more connected with his life and knows how Joe will react and can use the right language to send him the message of what has happened. Family is shown in this piece because there has been a death in the family and they want anyone who is close
