Picture Analysis: Missing Place

In addition to this, belonging to a family is a key concept in this novel. The novel opens with an alluring introduction to the family; a blissful atmosphere is created through the picturesque icons of their family life. The composer uses small photograph like icons to allude towards the widely acknowledged contentment that is readily associated with the memories in a picture album. Tan introduces the motif of the paper crane which he carries through the length of his novel as a symbol of affection and belonging between the family members. The next pages signify the break in contentment as the man begins his journey and a salient image of the couple with their hands grasping the other’s parallels the anxiety and despair in their downcast facial expressions. Although the gloomy atmosphere, the light sepia tones in the picture allow an insight into the tender and loving relationship that the family members share. Upon the man’s departure the paper crane motif returns and he hands it to his daughter as a token of his undying love for her. His migratory experience is studded by the comfort and ease that he obtains from a picture of his family. In paralleled scenes on the boat and the new apartment, the

piano and sing. During this time, everyone else analyzes several doleful situations: “’She tried to murder their cook. She thought she was poisoning her food’”, “’Dr. Stone’s boy is in the asylum, you know’”, “’She committed suicide’” (11, 13). The entire time Elizabeth and Laura are inside their home, everyone shares tragic stories of personal breakdown. It is a symbol that home is not the best place because

Though the viewers focus first on the centered figures, it is easier to first analyze the surrounding settings to understand them. The stone wall foreground and the open fields of the background each embodies one of the girl’s thoughts. The back landscape is filled with warm, airy colors of blue and orange, as if it were under a bright sun. On the other hand, the foreground’s stone walls and concrete floor has dark, cold, shadowy, earthy colors that seem to appear as if under a stormy cloud. The sunny land suggests free, pure, spacious land previous to the industrialization. Yet, the darkened foreground due to the overcasting shadows resemble the currently dirty,

CRITICAL ANALYSIS: Explanation, Analysis, Interpretation | Metho DrinkerUnder the death of winter's leaves he lies who cried to Nothing and the terrible night to be his home and bread. "O take from me the weight and waterfall ceaseless Time that batters down my weakness; the knives of light whose thrust I cannot turn; the cruelty of human eyes that dare not touch nor pity." Under the worn leaves of the winter city safe in the house of Nothing now he lies. His white and burning girl, his woman of fire, creeps to his heart and sets a candle there to melt away the flesh that hides from bone, to eat the nerve that tethers him in time. He will lie warm until the bone is bare and on a dead dark moon he wakes alone. It was for Death he took | Interpret (tell me why you think the poet wants to use such images)As such, a sense of gloom permeates the writing.

The strongest images that I’ve encountered is in the feature article of Orphans Give Indian Couple Will To Live; 2004 Tsunami Killed Their Son, 2 Daughters when the author of this feature article, Saikh Azizur Rahman, was describing how on the morning of the day after Christmas, Mr. Paramesvaran was taking his 3 children, all whom which were from ages 5-12, and his wife’s relatives to a stroll in the beach. They were tossing a Frisbee on the beach when the sea turned hostile. When I read that paragraph describing how Mr. Paramesvaran and his family are enjoying themselves, it helps me envision a happy family in such a beautiful scene as the beach and still foreshadowing that something horrible was going to happen to the warm-loving family. This image is important because it teaches us all that we should try our best to enjoy the times we spend together with our family, especially a family like the Paramesvaran. That is what made this image so memorable to me.

2. On page 78, “When I think of this portrait of my grandparents in their last years, I always envision a beginning. To or toward what, I don’t know, but always a beginning.” Why might the young narrator be inclined to view this portrait as a beginning? What significance might the girl have attached to the loss of the portrait by the wrecking ball in relation to her life and her family? How might Ma be inclined to view the portrait? What significance might Ma have attached to the portrait’s loss?

7. The setting is used as a reflection of the woman's inner emotions. The sun shines and birds sing with no sign of gloom because she is not actually mourning as she thinks to herself. The lack of sorrow from the woman cause the setting to seem even more lovely to her as she realizes she is feeling joy. The details used by the writer portray a sense of well being and positivity. The woman reaches out towards the window as if her joy is tangible, this is a vey important

For instance, upon seeing certain cards you could think I have excellent credit or possibly doing the regrettable thing and using the cards to pay off other cards. One could interpret the pictures as a sense of remembrance of a past that at one time was full of happiness and sorrow and the other photo could be taken as a new beginning, a love worth fighting for. One could view all the clothes in the backpack to be a bit excessive but to others, it marks a wise mother who knows that anything could happen when it comes to children. Looking at the tattoos, one could be disgusted and wonder why someone would degrade their body in such a manner while other people would think of the basic symbol of a phoenix;” a beautiful bird that dies in a fire of its own making only to rise again from the ashes.” (New World

The novel uses a lot of this imagery to describe what is happening around the family as the story progresses. In some of the chapters, the reader is shown enough imagery that they understand what some of the characters are going through—whether the mother and the father, the son or the daughter. The problem with this book for many readers is that you don't

It feels like that there is no one around to be with and socialize with, kind of barren like. This photo makes me feel lonely inside and makes me a little depressed. It also makes me feel a little scared and I'm not curious to see what is on the other side of the bridge. Other people’s mind leads them to wonder what is on the other side of the bridge and what is behind or inside the tower in the background. The clouds swirling around the moon and how it is very sharp and pixelated. The house to the side of the background gives off a creepy vibe that is unsettling to me and other people that look at this photo the Clarence John Laughlin took. I imagine that when he was was taking these pictures and thinking about where he would take them he was going through a dark time and he thinks his past and when his father died he portrays that in the photos he takes. This photo gives off mixed emotions for me knowing his history but how this photo is titled “passed to never land” he tried to make this photo less tragic and heavy but more upbeat and light. This picture kinda makes my heart feel a little cold and that no one likes me or understands all the things i'm going through in my life. Im sure that when others would see this picture they would see a man who is lonely and scared and has no one to talk to. Also, they would think that he has been through alot in his life and he does an amazing job with demonstrating this in this

I chose the poem “Facing It” to discuss. The first image I got was in the second line when he says hiding inside the black granite. I think that image is important because it lets you know that the person is not human. you can imagine somebody hiding inside something, somebody that is not alive maybe a ghost. Also when the poet says, “I turn this way the stone lets me go, I turned that way I’m inside the Vietnam Veterans Memorial again…” you can imagine the person as a ghost. without this key image you would not know or understand that it is a veteran who has died and is a ghost looking at his own memorial. “I touch the name and Andrew Johnson, I see the booby traps white Flash…”, this image is very important it let you know that he was a

What I can learn from this photo is that you can learn to use symbolic worlds like head in the Clouds and show that in my photos as new away of human expression can be use that people would not normal think of

Depression: Self-Obsession or Debilitating Illness? Edward Honaker's self-portraits, published in 2015, document his personal experiences of depression and anxiety, as the images exteriorised his torment, and grew to become a way of communicating to the greater society in a way that would help others to understand and gain perspective on depression. Edward

For the older waiter in “A Clean Well-Lighted Place”, the cafe symbolizes home because he feels that is all the he has. He says that he lacks confidence but he does have a job. He doesn't want to leave the cafe and he feels that others can benefit from such a place as having somewhere to go. The narrator in “The House on Mango Street” realizes that she does not feel she has a place called home. The story symbolizes for her a place of wanting better for herself. She has always known promises, but she has never seen them and she vows to herself to have that one day.

While the family is out in the middle of the snowstorm they have many hardships to deal with. The family is all grouped together in the middle of the painting with their jackets wrapped around them and their heads facing down to keep warm with snow in every direction of them as if they don’t want to travel. This shows that the family is cold and, yet they have to face the hardship of the winter. The tree next to the family is severely swayed to the right the branch in front of the family was broken off from the tree and laying on the ground showing how hard it was to face the cold and wind of the storm. A dog is in front of the family at attention on all four feet with the dog’s paw prints trailing the dog showing that the family is moving in the direction away from the prints. There is a dead pig draped across and the back of a mule and tied down to it, along with a man on the left side has a gun in between his arms tucked into his body as if he is the one who hunts the food for the family.
