The Problem We All Live With
The picture 'The Problem We All Live With " which was a painting of a very famous painter in the 1960s named Norman Rockwell, shows the major problem very simple but abound meanings at U.S. back then
When you look at the picture, first of all you will see a little black girl (Rudy Bridges) wearing a pure white dress which makes her skin look more darker, holding her school materials on her hand and walking with four mans encompassed around her to protect her from the white people such as K.K.K (if you see the top left corner, you will see a scribble written K.K.K and also written 'NIGGER' on the wall.) because they threw stuffs like tomato which is actually drew on the painting, to give her fervertion. And to add on, her body looks very stiffened but not only her, the guardians too. Norman Rockwell hasn't draw the face of the guardians but I predict that they were sure not smiling at all.
When people move their eyes on the picture, most of the people might think "Oh, it's a painting about racism" and just pass by, but Norman Rockwell didn't draw this painting to make people just think and pass by, I think he wanted every one to remember the day when black people felt a deep pain on their heart and mind. But on the other hand, few people would think how Rudy Bridges have felt and also how they woulf have falt. In my opinion I'm not brave enough to walk through the hates just to go to school.
Even though Norman Rockwell had used few bright color at his drawing, don't know reason but it has a dark feeling maybe because of the mood. And also the proportion, she seems to walk fast to arive at school fast so she won't hear hurtful word from white people. Because, between the guardians at the back and Rudy, there's a gap and Rudy is nearly catching up the two guardians at her front. I hope there will never be a child like Rudy, hurted their innocent heart just because of 'Different skin color' anymore in the future
