The same park visit is presented through four voices: two adults and two children, each with different circumstances, feelings and impressions.
One adult sees danger in contact between a pedigreed dog and a mongrel, and between her son and a poorly dressed child.
Objects and shadows may appear to take separate paths, while kaleidoscopic artwork and surreal details add another layer to the four accounts.
Some social attitudes may merit attention: one adult views others as inferior and expects danger around them, while another is burdened by unemployment. The treatment of these viewpoints should be discussed rather than assumed.
This is a grounded book brief while Suitabook strengthens the analysis: some draft conclusions still depend on unresolved evidence.
