Panic envelopes the reader in this illustration. Rather than light being a comfort, in this illustration, the headlights¹ from the imposing figures signal imminent danger. The large figures are dressed in uniforms and are carrying equipment. The flames² emitted by the equipment on their backs indicate the destruction of those who are caught.

Moving from the centre to the left,³ light is used also to suggest fire. The city is burning, and they are no longer safe in their homes. The people must flee.

Unlike other illustrations, there is no soothing horizontal skyline of skyscrapers. Notice how the street appears at an angle, compared to the frame. This canted angle⁴ heightens the anxiety of the reader.

The reader is confronted by the reality that drives many from their home countries to seek safe, new beginnings elsewhere.
