ReplyDeletePicture 18
I see this as a mother and a daugther talking to each other about 'the missing father'.
The daugther has now come to that stage in life where she asks a lot of questions because she's curious and she wants to know everything. She has just started school and everyone in her class has been asking her about her father and when she didn't have anything to say, they would tell her about their fathers. The daugther had never questioned or wondered why she didn't have a father before until now.
The mother took it as a shock that the daugther even started asking and she wasnt sure about what to say.
The daugther had to repeat the questions again and again before the mother would answer.
At last, the mother sat down in the grass with the daugther and told her the true reason of why her father wasn't there.
Picture 89
Here I see it as two sisters looking out the window because something interesting is going on. They are looking at the men they like, eho are in town today.
They both start talking about 'him', and ask each other questions like why him? And what do you like about him? Where did you meet?
When the talk to each other the word love is repeated again and again and again. They both just want to fall in love.
Picture 10
Here I see it as a younger girl (not that young but still) dancing with and older man who would like to marry her in the very near future. The younger girl's dad likes this very much because the older man is from a very rich family. But the beautiful young girl doesn't. Because she is already in love. With another man. But the beautiful younger girl has tried speaking to her dad about her feelings for this other man. But her father doesn't approve of this man (young boy his daugther is in love with). Because he is from a very low and poor family. The daugther is very upset about this (that she can't marry the man she wants to marry). The daugther now makes a plan of how to get rid of the older man so she can marry the man she loves. But the plan back fires.

ReplyDeletePicture 66 is of a little girl sitting in a doctors office with a black eye. She is badly bullied in school but doesnt mind and doesnt cry because she's strong and believes that one day she'll be on top of the world. She is sitting there talking to nobody (the audience, pretending that its someone, like in the beginning she introduces herself) about what happened and what she was doing which was nothing, she was just sitting eating her lunch. She's very confident and happy but she comes from a bad background which is what has made her so strong. Her mother died when she was 18 months and her father left her with her aunt who didnt care much for her either. She has one friend who takes care of her, a neighbour who she talks to. She's bullied because she doesn't have parents and doesn't have friends and is always happy and kind. There's no reason for it and she knows it and thats why she just ignores it. In the back of the picture there are two men. One is a doctor and the other is her friend, who is worried about her. In the monologue the girl is not trying to gain the audience's sympathy but she still gets it. She's just trying to make another friend. I'm not sure how to end it yet, probably the doctor will call for her and she stands up and goes.
Picture 90 is of two women who are sisters. The one sitting down is the youngest. She is staring at a man who she loves out of the window and her sister is laughing at him because he's clumsy. The conversation starts with the older one saying that he's a joke. The other woman says no and that she likes him which shocks her sister and makes her laugh more. The younger one tells her that she's serious and that he loves her too. The big sister tries to convince her that their father will never allow it but then she just says that she doesn't care. If he won't let her marry him she'll run away with him. It ends with a hug where the older girl is being supportive and it shows how close they are.
Picture 18 is about a young girl and her young aunt who is about 19 who lives with her and her family. They are like best friends but the father of the young girl is very strict and doesnt like the aunt nor his child for that matter but they dont care. In this scene they are hanging up the washing and talking about what they're going to do today. It's a very plain and simple scene which shows friendship and love. The aunt says that she has too much work to do but the young girl convinces her to come anyway and says that she'll help her do her work afterwards. They finish the washing and then leave to go for a swim or something.

ReplyDeleteThe first picture that i am going to choose is picutre #17. I was thinking that since the picture was in black and white that maybe we could base it in nazi camp. The nazi's were known as being very into expermenting on twins and i was thinking they could be jewish victims in a camp. Many things could happen in this picture, but i was thinking more of them trying to escape from the camp and getting free in the end. well, something along those lines.
The second picture that im going to choose is picture number #52, i think it should be like two sisters fleeing from there country becuase there is a war, and they are like in the middle of the sahara dessert or soemthing and they have been walking for miles and it could show how they flee from the danger and they could have some obstacles in the way of them getting to safety.
And the 3rd and last picture im going to choose is picture number #10 i think it should be about a girl who is very confused. She has just got married to this guy the guy she is danicng with in the picture, but she is secretly having an affair with her gardener, and there face in the picture is like regret that she has done that, and she is going to confess to her husband
seeee you all tomorrow ;)
Picture 48 Is about a young man who is going through the trauma of being out of control , as he clutches on to a body that represents his fears, he explores the boom his life would be, His life has never been about having a plan, or relying on anyone, but through the craziness of the world around him,he starts to realise how important the idea of having someone is. Through the realisation that life is like a war. he begins to question his existence and his worth, and starts to recall situation were he could have made a worthwhile choice. He evaluates the meaning of his life, and by doing so creates an image like picture 48.
ReplyDeletePicture 68 A picture of a new young couple going to prom. And the introduction of the girl to the boys father. As they go through the different stages of acquired conversation and gestures.With a very playful mockery of the formality of such youngsters all dressed up and acting like grown ups. Sitting up straight and holding her things as she talks to his father about the beautiful corsage, that the father has probably already seen because undoubtably he gave his son the money to buy it. Even a customer joins into the light hearted fun.
Picture 28 is about a love and the restraint, These two are a modern couple that are defining the ridiculous edict established towards love. A story about a test of what is accepted as love, how old idea still play apart in who we chose to love, by removing the ability to distinguish who, is love still possible. If we cannot visually see each other, can we see ourselves together in the future? Are appearances that important? The man in the story is facially deformed due to an ascendent, and the lady is much younger then him. Although blinded by love they can see clearly what their love stands for. So they show the world that decency of love, cannot be measured by anyone, and nor should it be influenced by hallmark ideas.

ReplyDeletePicture 90 is of two girls who are sisters. They are both looking out the window at this man. The two sisters are actually slaves of the house of these rich people. The one standing up is the older sister and the one sitting is younger. The younger fancies this boy very much and is talking about how much she likes him and saying how she thinks that he likes her back but she doesn't know because they dont really talk that often. The older sister is just listening to this and looking at the man and laughing because she thinks its silly. Then as he is working outside he does something that makes her laugh even more. She has to use the cloth of her headpiece to cover her mouth so they dont get caught. the older sister finds it so funny because, as much as she wants her sister to be happy she knows that a girl like her sister, who is a slave, will never get a chance to be with a rich boy like this one. In the end the younger sister finally realizes what her older sister was saying is true.
ReplyDeletePicture 31 is of a father and a son and they are spending a day, or part of day together until the father is called back to go on duty at the police station. The setting takes place at the restaurant where they are eating lunch and the son is all excited and planning out the day they are going to have. He brought his stick and blanket with them incase they go on a hike or a walk and he filled it with goodies for them to eat along the way. This is just about the naiveness that a child can have and how they dont understand the job of adults. Towards the end of lunch the father gets the call in where he has to go back to work and the son gets all sad and upset because he was really looking forward to time with his dad.
Picture 24 is about a couple that dated for 3 years, but they got into this really huge fight and never wanted to see each other again.

So, their friends get together and make 'blind date ' for the two of them.... literally. they cover their heads with pillow cases and tell them to get to know each other. So they are talking for ours and laughing and sharing things they never even knew about each other. After hours of talking, they realize that it was their ex, and how stupid they were for breaking up. they openly admit their love for each other and kiss through the pillow cases.

The mother had packed bags and grabbed her daughter to get her away since she realized it is not a good place for her daughter to grow up in.
