Kennison-Metaphor

These images inspired me because the exposed black and white ones incorporate nature taking over which always interests me, the middle photo is interesting because the identities of these people remain a mystery - there is something eerie about it that I like looking at. The two images on the outside are by Jerry Uelsmann and the middle image is by Rene Magritte.

The book quote I will be using as my metaphor is "Papa's lungs filled with sky" (Zusak, 437). This quote is from my favorite book, The Book Thief by Markus Zusak. The context behind it is that Hans Hubermann is tasked with cleaning up after raid in WWII, and after seeing so much trauma and death he lays back on the ground and breathes in the ash and death that surrounds him; so it fills him completely. This metaphor could bring feelings of something that the person is breathing in the situation, that they are consumed by something and can't escape; or it could evoke the promise of something better later on.
