Willig+-+Metaphor



1. Slate arch made over two days, fourth attempt Blaenauffestinog Wales, September 1982 By: Andy Goldsworthy I really like this picture, because of the texture of the rock, and just the way that they were shaped. Instead of just having a big pile of rocks, this photographer decided to give these rocks shape, and with that they got a meaning. Also, they are different sizes and shapes which makes the picture even more interesting.

2. Vicissitudes Depth 5m, Grenada, West Indies. By: Jason deCaires Taylor I absolutely love this photograph, because it is different. I really haven’t really seen anything like this, and I’m not sure if I should be scared, or really open to it, because it seems like a large amount of people decided to jump into the ocean, and die together. This photograph is very different, and I absolutely love it!

3. Francesca Woodman Untitled, Providence, Rhode Island, 1976 This photograph captures a whole lot of strength, but at the same time it seems to be very lonely. The single door falling with the little bit of movement in the top right corner of the door is really powerful. This picture is very strong, and has a certain meaning to it that to me is not quite understood.

Amen, by: Eden’s Edge


 * Can I get a thank god, hallelujah?**
 * You finally saw what she was doing to you**
 * Your mama called that she was right**
 * Glad to see you saw the light**
 * Whole town, Yeah we hooped and hollered**
 * She drove away, nobody stopped her**
 * Na na na na na na,I'll say it again**
 * Someone give me an amen.**
 * OR FOR THE SAME METAPHOR THOUGH**


 * I am Rosemary's granddaughter**
 * The spitting image of my father**
 * And when the day is done My momma's still my biggest fan**
 * Sometimes I'm clueless and I'm clumsy**
 * But I've got friends who love me**
 * And they know just where I stand**
 * It's all a part of me And that's who I am**

To me, growing up was difficult because my parents split when i was young, because my dad was apparently abusive to my mother. My dad would always listen to country music because he though that everything else was just a bunch of racket that had no meaning at all. Amen, by Eden’s Edge is a newer song, so it wouldn’t be one that my sister, my dad and I would be listening to in the truck while driving around Iowa; but the lyrics do have meaning to me. My father was in the Army, now retired, and something that will always stand out to me is that he was religious, without having any certain religion to follow. This song talks about a man who left his girlfriend, because of the same reason, she was doing things to him that the song writer didn’t find necessary, kind of reminding me of how my parents split. Also, it is a little bit religious, and it is a country song that brings me back to my childhood in Iowa with my father. I hardly get to see him anymore, because he moves about once every year, so having thing that remind me of what it was like back then really gets to me, and I absolutely just love that.

For somebody else that is listening to this song, I’m pretty sure that it wouldn’t have the same meaning to them, just because of the story behind it for me, but it is a very sweet song that i believe anybody could be able to get a visual from.

This quote speaks to me, and how life use to be when i was younger, and those were my glory days. I absolutely loved my childhood, and anything that reminds me of it, and gives me flashbacks of it is truly amazing in my eyes. I think that this will help my project, because now there is exact meaning, and I really want to be able to portray this for the rest of the class so they to know just how special this song is to me.
