Create a Collage :)

Read the following extract from Games at Twilight:

Extract

They faced the afternoon. It was too hot. Too bright. The white walls of the veranda glared stridently in the sun. The bougainvillea hung about it, purple and magenta, in livid balloons. The garden outside was like a tray made of beaten brass, flattened out on the red gravel and the stony soil in all shades of metal- aluminium, tin, copper and brass. No life stirred at this arid time of day- the birds still drooped, like dead fruit, in the papery tents of the trees; some squirrels lay limp on the wet earth under the garden tap. The outdoor dog lay stretched as if dead on the veranda mat, his paws and ears and tail all reaching out like dying travellers in search of water. He rolled his eyes at the children-two white marbles rolling in the purple sockets, begging for sympathy-and attempted to lift his tail in a wag but could not.

Your Task

Using images from magazines, Newspapers or the internet, create a collage which explains what the extract is about.
