Six word memoir #6

I love this picture I took it in Italy this year (2012), the colosseum has been around for centuries and still stands tall and beautiful. I was in awh when I saw it. It's been around forever, yet it can be so new to so many people. That's a truly beautiful thing.

In high school all we do is talk. Talk about our feelings, other peoples problems, other peoples flaws, we talk about love as if we know it. We talk so much that when it's silent we feel obligated to talk some more. This to me seems like a falss way of life. Sometimes we all need to learn to be quiet.

This picture represents temptation, and for me I beleive a kiss can make or break you, so to speak. It holds the power to fulfill a need of belonging or crush a persons heart. A kiss can set you free or keep you in a steal cage. Aside from our words, a kiss is the strongest action we can make.

The true story of this photo is in the words. My whole life growing up I was concerned about portraying a look of perfection. I won't even fully admit it to myself let alone others but, it truly is one of my biggest fears.

Six word memoir. #2

This one is personal. I speak about it because it was a struggle I went through as a younger girl. I truly feel society has a way of breaking down even the strongest person, and being skinny is obviously one of the biggest struggles for a girl. The words in this picture represent the lies I told myself and the feelings I couldn't keep in.

This one is probably my favorite. I love this picture because its my biggest fear, going nowhere in life and not willing to admit it. I edited this picture so that the words were blurred, and the photo, as a whole was faded. This is symbolic for my feelings and I think it adds true depth to the photo.

The House of The Scorpion

 

Continuing on, we meet and learn about so many new characters, but one scene make me curious and want to make a comment, people seem to turn on each other so fast around the “big white house”, which is what we've found out is where a powerful man named El Patron lives and runs the opium fields. id also like to answer this comment. I beleive from what iv read that everyone is scared of this old man. He's in charge and no one would ever diobay him. This would cause people to be intimidated and throw fellow servents, workers, and family members under the bus when trouble comes around.

As I early predicted Matt has gotten into a world of trouble, on his adventure into the new and unfamiliar he manages to get injured and kidnapped. A few pages after this all happens he learn an important piece of information, Matt has been locked up for six months. When he is finally released (I won’t get into details) he is taken to see an old man called El Patron. The depth on which Matt describes him and talks about a weird familiarity he feels around this man leads me to a prediction, El Patron is  somehow related to Matt. The old man and little boy are going to have a deep meaningful relationship in the book.
Continuing on I find an answer to my earlier prediction, Matt does have a strong purpose. He is El Patrons clone! The little boy Matt is also put in charge of El Patrons estate, even though most servents and family around the house ignore him, some are even openly disgused by the little boy (AKA clone). This makes me curious to why everyone has a problem with clones?

The story continues.
