Recommended: Hunger malnutrition and famine

Exemplification The picture of Bud Fields and his family is depressing for example his family looks deprived of food, bad shelter and overall they look impoverished. The family looks like they only have one bed. Everyone seems to be dirty up and tired. The distraught look on their face tells you that they're not satisfied with their life or disappointed. Sad faces show many things, one of the kids are sad and the second youngest child doesn’t seem to know what’s going on probably because he’s so young. Not a lot of space in the house looks gloomy. Dusty, the wall only has three picture frames. The grand mom is the only one wearing shoes I’d say because she either has tarnished back or her feet might be swollen from many years of walking miles

  • Grapes Of Wrath Chapter 1-11 Analysis

    810 Words  | 2 Pages

    The opening scene’s setting gives a premise to the overall gloomy and dusty lifestyles of the Okies. The whole time period is already gloomy from the Great Depression and Dust Bowl, but the description of the bland Oklahoma landscape is sad. Steinbeck even wrote about dust like it was an ominous homewrecker. Dust and the wind and the elements in general are given all of the power in this chapter and in future chapters. Such dominant influence of nature suggests the family structure of the Joads and other Okies to be unstable. The environment governs the family, making them move, causing them to seek jobs due to poor land and subsequent lack of work.

  • My Papa's Waltz And The Ballad Of Birmingham Family Bonds

    While reading the poem the reader can imply that the father provides for his wife and son, but deals with the stress of having to work hard in a bad way. He may do what it takes to make sure his family is stable, but while doing so he is getting drunk and beating his son. For example, in lines 1 and 2, “The whisky on your breath Could make a small boy dizzy” symbolizes how much the father was drinking. He was drinking so much, the scent was too much to take. Lines 7 and 8, “My mother’s countenance, Could not unfrown itself.” This helps the reader understand the mother’s perspective on things. She is unhappy seeing what is going on which is why she is frowning. Although she never says anything it can be implied that because of the fact that the mother never speaks up just shows how scared she could be of her drunk husband. Lines 9 and 10, “The hand that held my wrist Was battered on one knuckle”, with this line the reader is able to see using imagery that the father is a hard worker because as said above his knuckle was battered. The reader can also take this in a different direction by saying that his hand was battered from beating his child as well. Lastly, lines 13 and 14, “You beat time on my head With a palm caked hard by dirt” As well as the quote above this quote shows that the father was beating his child with his dirty hand from all the work the father has

The scene has two planes: one focuses on the table and couple and the other focuses on the girl and the background. The heads of the family create a perfect triangle and another triangle is the girl in the middle with the two candles on each side. It creates a triangle within a triangle. The scene is a combination of high key and low key lighting.The high key lighting is primarily focused on surface of the cloth and the candles; it's very bright and the candles bring some light to all three of the character's faces. The characters are then washed with some light shadows on their clothing and the rest of the shadows stick to the background. The colors are generally made up of blue and neutral colors. The walls are blue and the windows are neutral; the man is wearing a blue shirt while the girl is wearing a gray one. The woman is wearing pink and the table is white; it contrasts against them.

    This is where the “leftover bond money” from her daddy’s jail bond gets delivered to her. Granik portrays a resolution and a sense of happiness that would never be attained in real life. A technique which is used to highlight the epitome of this happiness is the lighting. In this particular scene, you’ll notice it is significantly brighter than the rest of the film. This is because it’s the only scene which the sun is shining. This allows the audience to undergo a change of heart. It’s an offered resolution, which allows us (the audience) to distract away from all the misery and heartbreak. To reconsider the harshness of society. And makes us entitled to feel happy for the character. However, like earlier in the film where the dialogue was distracting away from the almost too perfect house, fit for the societal circumstances of the Ozarks. It outlines again that this film is a Hollywood representation of the unprivileged society. A resolution that is offered after the character having to go through traumatic events would be an unforeseen occurrence in real life. The particular resolution distracts away from the real life circumstances of poverty and welfare in America. This allows again for the viewers to reconsider the film and relate to real life thinking that people do get resolutions. Furthermore that people are “free to” but not understanding that they’re not “free
