this picture kind of seems like it would be off of the movie little brother bear.I think it looks like the symblos the old lady makes with her powders in the smoke. during the symbol giving time. Ever peson in the tribe gets one when they turn a certain age, they do this little dancing and fire thing, to hear from the spirts what their symbol with be. I feel this also could be related to the Navajo story that i have read in my english calss, and the one my group will be talking about to the rest of the class. I just feel it looks like something Native Americans would make.

This picture makes me think of the comparisons we are doing in class. Three symbols, all the same, but in different places, are coming together and entertwining to form one image. It also makes me think of trees, which reminds me of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, from the Christian creation story. The outside symbols remind me of life. This whole picture reminds me of life, and creation. I think that it goes well with what we've been learning about, although at first glance it seems like it is unrelated. -Melanie
I agree with what Lizz said about this looking like something off of Brother Bear. That story also goes well with what we are learning about, because it is about finding who you are. All the creation myths we have been reading are just ways to display who we, as humans, really are. It goes well with everything we've been learning. -Melanie
When i first look at this it reminds me of the tree in the Christain story, the one with the forbiden fruit. Also alittle on Iceland myths on how people were created from trees.So this picture could represent the beging of life for many of our myths.One thing that i found that was inturesting that could just be me but it kinda looks like on one half of the picture is a dark blue and the other is a yellowish orange, which could represent night and day.
Even though i havent seen Brother Bear in years i do agree with liz that it looks like a symbol that the native americans would desine. I also agree with melanie the way the three trees enter twine in the middle to make a design of its own is inturesting, it could resemble three diffrent forms of life from diffrent parts of the world comeing together to form one specific shape.Also it just looks really cool.
This picture reminds me of nature because of the trees in it, and it looks like it would resemble something like peace cause it kinda looks like a peace sign. So i think that it would be world peace or something about mother nature.
I agree with what Ashley said about the tree in the christain story,the one with the fruit that cant be eaten from. I also agree with what Ashley said about it being from the Iceland story, how peple were created from trees. the trees look like they have hands and can grap things and hurt you. It could also be like how God could come grap us from danger or things like that.
this picture remids me of creation. the trees growing from middle of pictures is like the spark of life. the swarlys kinda simplises the greek story about caos its all wild and caos like. the greek story creation starts with caos and the center of the picture has kinda a caos spot in the middle.
I think that this picture goes very weill with the Ganda Story my group is reading. The man Kintu is from Uganda, land that is blank, nothing anywhere, like the center of the Picture. A person could see how this reflects how everyone, and everything is related, and how our lives join together is someway, explainations of creation, death, and human emotions, such as desire, love, temptation, and every day is meant to be blended into the next to make the future.
I like what John talked about this Picture symbolizing creation, and how the trees are symblizing life. But i also think that the trees also show how death and birth are related, and are so very close to eachother. Everyting has a birth and a death, but no beginning and no end , like how the tree braches grow into eachother, and the tree grows out of the trunk.
When I look at this picture I can see how everything is related. I think that the trees symbolize life and the center symbolizes creation. This shows how everything related to life is woven together and goes in a circle. Each tree in this picture is connected to the other trees through its roots and beginning. The center shows where life began and how it branched out into different parts, or trees. The beginning symbolizes creation and the roots show the end of life. Every time the tree reaches the roots, it moves over to the next tree and goes up from the roots to the top of the tree. This shows the circle of life and how when one life ends, another begins from the first’s end.
I agree with Ettje when she said that everything has a birth and a death, but no beginning or end. This picture really demonstrates this because all of the lines and tree branches are interconnected. The roots form a woven circle around the picture to symbolize the circle of life. Even though people can die, they never totally end. Stories and myths follow the customs of people who died long ago to ensure that they will never “end.”
This picture appears to be of Celtic origin from the continuous and intertwined knots seen throughout the picture. The trees and the colors seem to be symbolizing nature by using blues and various shades of green. Personally I think that the trees themselves look like they represent life in the sense that all things begin, grow, and eventually end, but life in general never truely ends, just like the knots in the picture.
I would have to agree with Katie on her views of the trees symbolizing life. I also thought that the trees portrayed life very affectively and showed that one life is always connected to another life like the way the trees are each connected to one another by their roots, and roots are like the branches of our own family trees. When Katie said that people never truely end and they continue to live in the stories that are told about them years later it made me think of all of the great heros in all of the myths that we've read and how we still remember them after all these years.
I see trees, a peace sign, and harmony. I see that the circle is connected thuroughly, all the sections meet and are mixed. There is a bonding sense in it. It seems as if it is a symbol for a people, a symbol whose meaning i do not fully understand. Its connecting limbs and roots ensare and hold on to its prey, or joining of a people or peoples. If it can be undone or the knots unwound then it is just a jumble of limbs and roots, not symbols with meanings. That life is mixed and matched, we are all intertwined and our fates are mixed, bonded.
I agree with Katie on the aspect that the tree symbolizes life. But sorry liz i dissagree that it is something from Brother Bear, it seems too complex and too intricate for that movie, which had a inner meaning yet seeminglly shallow and without real life aspects. But I do agree what katie and Brandon said about life, it is intertwined and mixed.
Wow... this is a pretty cool picture. Uh I belive that this might represent all the different things that connect life together and how they all tie into one another. I think that this is true and it has to be represented by something. It could be a picture, a tree, or a cloud, it doesn't matter. What matters is what you believe in.
i see this more as a tree of life and that everything is interconnected and tangled together and crashes together at some point it makes me think of the movie crash where the characters all of them are interconnected at some point and in weird ways
i kind of agree with lizz that it's native american and that it could be from brother bear but i would say it reminds me more of the sioux medicine wheel it seems more like that sort of thing but i don't know
This picture reminds me of worlds connected together. Like in class how we are talking about the campairisons of the stories we read. All the stories are connected in some way, just like how the trees in the picture are connected.
A response to Mel... i like how she says that this is symbolic. this picture also reminds me, after reading mel's comment, of the tree of knowledge and the fish that God made in the cration story.
This is a really cool picture. I like how it is all vined together and is all connected into one. It reminds me of the world on how it was started and stayed all together. with this picture you could probably continue drawing it and make it look the same and never stoping just life goes.
i feel like this picture is more of a Native drawing than something to do with Gods in the myths we read. but at the same time i think that it could be for both. it reminds me of some symbol you are given when you reach a certain stage in your life or you have done something special for your tribe such as bravery. when i think about the myths and how this pictire relates to that i think about how every part of life is all linked and how "LIFE" started and began all has its own story depending on what you believe.
i like how Brandon talked about how the colors could mean life and nature and how life all starts with growing and developing into something amazing. and how teh drawing had to start with something small and growing from that
The tree's in this picture represents life to me. In my eyes, everything in life has to do with something else in life like it is all linked together some how. Everyone came from the same tree of life..Adam and Eve.
this picture kind of seems like it would be off of the movie little brother bear.I think it looks like the symblos the old lady makes with her powders in the smoke. during the symbol giving time.
