The document discusses costume ideas for an old man and a boy prisoner of war. For the old man, a shirt will symbolize what he gained after the war and the trousers will show how he went from having nothing as a prisoner to having more later in life. For the boy prisoner of war, a plain white t-shirt and joggers are suggested to symbolize that as a captured soldier he has nothing identifying and everyone is equal, as the plain clothes would be from any country. The costumes for the old man and boy prisoner of war are intended to serve as opposites to show the changes between the two time periods.

1. Costume – Final Ideas

2. Old Man
 Shirt – The old man will wear a shirt to make him look smarter. It will help to
show how people have rebuilt their lives after the war. The shirt will
symbolise what he has gained after the war and show that he did escape.
 Trousers – These will be plain and simple but smart. This will show how he
went from having nothing when he was a prisoner of war to having a lot more
when he is older.

3. Boy – Prisoner of War
 White t-shirt – This is plain and simple and helps to symbolise that because he
was captured he doesn't have anything. This top will be an easy top to
replicate so will act as part of the uniform for the prisoner of war. The white
top makes them unrecognisable from the country they came from as they are
not wearing uniform. It means that everyone is an equal to each other.
 Joggers – These are easy to wear and are not to smart. They are often worn
when relaxing or when doing sports, as they are common everyday items of
clothing. The joggers will e plain so that there is no indication of what
country the boy has come from as his is a prisoner of war. The joggers show
that everyone is equal to each other.
 These clothes are a direct opposite to those worn by the old man.
