Amir and Sohrab bond over feeling dirty for their past sins and wanting to be cleansed and be good again. The trash cans represent the two characters and the garbage inside is the sins they feel they've committed. The common dirt beneath the trash cans represents how Amir and Sohrab are bound by a shared feeling of having committed sins and being dirty. The tree and majestic sky represent what Amir and Sohrab both hope to become--cleansed, good again, and heroically honorable and proud.
I like the metaphor and how you connect Amir and Sohrab, saying they're both reaching for the sky.
ReplyDeleteI like how you compared Amir and Sohrab because they both felt "dirty" and wanted to be pure again, and redeem themselves.
ReplyDeleteI like how the trash cans are right next to each other showing Amir and Hassan and how you included the sky in the metaphor.
ReplyDeleteI like how you included everything that was in the picture rather than focusing on one subject in it.
ReplyDeleteI like how your metaphor stretched beyond the trashcans, and also included things like the background, it added more depth to the metaphor.
ReplyDeleteThe trash cans are a really good metaphor for their sins, I really like how you used the sky to show how they both want to be good again!
ReplyDeleteI like how you used the trash cans and the garbage inside them to show the sins they had committed.
ReplyDeleteI like how you extended the metaphor and included meaning of the dirt under the trashcans as well as the tree and sky. I think this picture could also be used to show Baba and Amir's relationship in America, because they are both growing close together, exemplified by the closeness of the trashcans, yet they are both full of dirty secrets.
