Loss of Innocence

Innocence is purity, ignorance and unknowing.

Innocence can be lost. Innocence is ignorance, so when a person experiences and learns they begin to lose that innocence. Their purity becomes tainted and their innocence is lost.

-The woman who is naked symbolizes her innocence. She is innocent and doesn’t know that being unclothed is wrong. The others in the picture are trying to cover up the woman to remove her purity.

-Around the women it is bright, but outside of that it is dark. The darkness in the picture is somewhat creeping into the light. This shows that the darkness is losing innocence trying to steal away the woman’s innocence.

-The man has black wings. Wings are often something thought of as innocent and angelic, but the darkness of the wings show that he no longer has his innocence.

Young Life

1. The little boy doesn’t feel like he belongs in the group. He has a stick because he has nothing else to accompany him, so he has to play with his imagination. He is standing off away from the couple and doesn’t really seem to be part of them.
2. The deer is placed above the family to show that the man is proud that he can provide for his family. He went out and worked hard to get the deer so that he can provide for his family.
3.The painter wants to show that people should rely on themselves by going out and working hard to get what they need. The man went out and got the deer instead of relying on someone else to do it for him.

Don't You Want Me

In the song "Don't You Want Me", there is a conflict between a girl and a guy. The two had dated in the past, but are now broken up. The guy doesn’t think the break up was completely fair to him. He feels as though the girl only used him ( to become famous). He thinks she just broke up with him after learning everything he could teach her. However, the girl completely disagrees. She thinks she made herself who she is and it certainly wasn’t with the help of the guy. She thinks that she made the right choice by moving on. They both want to be right, which is why they are conflicted. The girl feels better about the situation if she believes she is right, and the guy feels the same way.

I have had similar conflicts with my brother about who gets to be on the computer. Once, he thought that he deserved the computer because I had been on it “all” afternoon. I felt that I should have the computer because I had been working on a project on the computer all afternoon, so I just then had time to have free time on the computer. We argued because we both felt that we had rights to the computer.
