The tree “swings through another year of sun and leaping winds, of leaves and bounding fruit.” This sentence evokes images of happiness and serenity; however, it is in stark contrast with “month after month, the whip-crack of the mortgage.” The tone of this phrase is harsh and the onomatopoeia of a “whip crack” stirs up images of oppression. The final lines of the poem show the consequences that the family accepts by preserving the tree—their family heritage. When the speaker judges the tree by its cover she sees monetary value, but when she looks at the content in the book she find that it represents family. Even though times may be tough for the family, they are united by memories of their ancestors.
The painting is organized simply. The background of the painting is painted in an Impressionist style. The blurring of edges, however, starkly contrasts with the sharp and hard contours of the figure in the foreground. The female figure is very sharp and clear compared to the background. The background paint is thick compared to the thin lines used to paint the figures in the foreground. The thick paint adds to the reduction of detail for the background. The colors used to paint the foreground figures are vibrant, as opposed to the whitened colors of the Impressionist background. The painting is mostly comprised of cool colors but there is a range of dark and light colors. The light colors are predominantly in the background and the darker colors are in the foreground. The vivid color of the robe contrasts with the muted colors of the background, resulting in an emphasis of the robe color. This emphasis leads the viewer's gaze to the focal part of the painting: the figures in the foreground. The female and baby in the foreground take up most of the canvas. The background was not painted as the artist saw it, but rather the impression t...
Moving out of your home can sometimes be a tough determination to make whether it is for a better living or finding jobs; most of the time, I find it brave to do so.
Color is used to draw attention to important characters and objects in the painting. The red of Mary’s shirt emphasizes her place as the main figure. A bright, yellow cloud floating above the room symbolizes the joy of the angelic figures. De Zurbaran uses warm colors in the foreground.

There was a time many years ago when the passing of a relative always seemed to be the eldest member of the family such as the grandmother, grandfather, great-grandmother or great-grandfather. Not too many times would one see a young person die or being killed very often. In the song “The Leaning Tree”, gospel artist Win Thompkins addresses this as no longer being true because young people are dying just about everyday. Throughout the song , he states that “the leaning tree” ,symbolizing an older person, is not always the first to fall or in other words die. Thompkins also states throughout the song that anyone’s time could be soon no matter the age or condition. He then shares a brief story about a righteous old man who saw his children pass
The composition of this painting forces the eye to the woman, and specifically to her face. Although the white wedding dress is large and takes up most of the woman’s figure, the white contrasts with her face and dark hair, forcing the viewer to look more closely into the woman’s face. She smokes a cigarette and rests her chin on her hands. She does not appear to be a very young woman and her eyes are cast down and seem sad. In general, her face appears to show a sense of disillusionment with life and specifically with her own life. Although this is apparently her wedding day, she does not seem to be happy.

The main piece of symbolism that carried itself through the music video was a teddy bear that was once only a little girl’s stuffed animal, but later turns into a meaningful and sentimental piece of hope and a sort of light at the end of the tunnel. The teddy bear was first stolen, taunted, and teased with, in the beginning of the video. Fighting back, the little girl was punished and restrained by the teacher. Building up to the second time the teddy bear is shown in the music video, the girl goes through many traumatic situations. When she is looking outside a window to the neighbors house where there are kids playing inside a castle, she immediately ducks down as she is spotted. She doesn’t know she is being alienated and isolated from the kids next door. All she feels is that she is on her own. So as she grows up, she decides to become “herself”, dressed in dark, grim and Goth looking clothes, but is stopped immediately by her mother. She is being influenced that she can’t be her self without the world not accepting her as she is. The excuse for parents when they see their kids going through sudden changes that are actually a sign of depression is that they are kids or teens acting like regular “their age”. Yet, there are many ways depression and other social problems could be treated but there is no one there to notice the problems itself, “Many parents don 't recognize when adolescents are depressed…” (Hosansky para.

There are several elements in this painting which may be difficult to interpret but may have meaning, such as; the headdress on the ground, the horse on the flag, the two men in different style and colored clothing, the smoke that appears much darker, and the two men pointing away from the scene, the wind direction being portrayed differently.
"A Poison Tree" suggests to me a prisoner's confession without actually naming or describing the crime itself. The speaker takes the time to brag about how he implemented his plan, without admitting his crime. Thus this poem's impact lies in the dangers that can arise from allowing one's anger to grow unchecked and take over our minds, hearts, and souls, like a wild plant in the garden of our experience.
In the beginning, Shel Silverstein develops the plot of the story through a tree, a well-known source of strength and protection (Cousin 2). Silverstein uses personification to give the tree
