The red tree by Shaun Tan is all about depression. Shaun Tan wrote this book so the readers and viewers know what it is like with depression. The last picture is the book is when the girl is in her room with the tree uses lots of techniques including body language for an example the smile on the girls face which means she might feel happy agian and her gazing up to the tree. It would make the auidence feel happy as the girl found something to make her happy as some days beign with nothing to look forward to.
The girl in the bottle looks sad and . The salient image is of the girl with the mask on her head represents that she is isolated and lonely. The dark colours shows that as well. The vectors make you look up where there is an illuminated
Wayne, transforms this painting into a three dimensional abstract piece of art. The focal point of the painting are the figures that look like letters and numbers that are in the front of the piece of art. This is where your eyes expend more time, also sometimes forgiving the background. The way the artist is trying to present this piece is showing happiness, excitement, and dreams. Happiness because he transmits with the bright colours. After probably 15 minutes on front of the painting I can feel that the artist tries to show his happiness, but in serene calm. The excitement that he presents with the letters, numbers and figures is a signal that he feels anxious about what the future is going to bring. Also in the way that the colors in the background are present he is showing that no matter how dark our day can be always will be light to
If looked at from a religious perspective light is symbolised as good and darkness as evil. I have incorporated that in my visual rep by the fragmentation of light and dark in the background. The face on the left has her lips painted black and disappearing into the background to convey that it really wasn’t appropriate for women to break out of the repressive and constrictive role of being nurturing mothers and the perfect housewives. If she was to comment on those roles, to admit to the isolation and frustration of being a mother out loud, it was considered wrong and sinful. Hence, why a lot of women took to mediums such as poetry or writing to have their voice be heard. The figures in my VR are bald because during the Holocaust the prisoners’ heads were shaved off to identify them as an inmate. The bald head is to symbolise imprisonment in terms of limited opportunities for women in the 50s and they were basically prisoners in their
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.
Betty Smith’s novel A Tree Grows In Brooklyn is a tale of poignant family relationships and childhood and also of grim privation. The story revolves around the protagonist of the story, young Francie Nolan. She is an imaginative, endearing 11-year-old girl growing up in 1912, in Brooklyn, New York. The entire story revolves around Francie and the Nolan family, including her brother Neelie, her mother Katie and her father Johnny. An ensemble of high relief characters aids and abets them in their journey through this story of sometimes bleak survival and everlasting hope. As we find out, the struggle for survival is primarily focused against the antagonist of this story, the hard-grinding poverty afflicting Francie, the Nolan’s and Brooklyn itself. The hope in the novel is shown symbolically in the “The “Tree of Heaven””. A symbol used throughout the novel to show hope, perseverance and to highlight other key points.
The novel Speak by Laurie Halse Anderson is about the struggles of being sexually assaulted, and the daily tests of being in highschool. The main character, Melinda has a hard time with being alone, and not wanting to tell her story. Coming towards the end of the book Melinda faces her biggest fear and learns to express herself through art, specifically through the form of a tree. Throughout the novel, the tree is used to symbolize emotions, growth, and flaws in relation to how Melinda developes.
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.
This is used to explain how Brigida is beginning to develop into an independent woman like the tree builds away from the soil of the ground and overcomes the stones, Brigida is able to overcome a suppressive marriage and start to think and act for herself as a woman. Throughout page 14, after the tree is cut down, the room that Brigida always admired the tree in is lit up like never before and the world is opened up from the windows point of view. This event in the story brings light into Brigida’s life getting a new opening and pursuing it even under the anti-feministic society that she lives in. “The tree, Luis the tree! They have cut down the rubber tree” (14). As the story begins to end, in an unforgiving manner Brigida tells Luis that it’s time for her to leave after the time that they had spent together was just miserable for her. The tree represents a yearning for a change that Brigida holds as a have to thing after this marriage is over. A new beginning for the street corner can come as a new tree is planted in the spot of the old tree. Just as a new beginning can come for Brigida with a new marriage or a new endeavor on her own. Brigida matures as a person because of how she realizes she doesn’t need someone to hide the world from her when she can be independent and inspire to see it
The third object is a withered rose which would symbolize donnies friendship with his supposed to be friends Bean and Chris. Bean and Chris are already best friends before they met donnie so it's like they let him be apart of it but not fully. As donnie described they are the rejects of school that no one likes. Bean, Chris and Donnie had a somewhat strong friendship but not strong enough they were done only friends and in the beginning they seem all get along fine they would swim together cheer each other on as one dived in the pool. But friendships never last Bean and Chris started to distance themselves from donnie and leaving him out he was no longer included in anything they did until eventually they cut him off all together. Donnie did
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...

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.
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

"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.
