EDU 330- Book 7 Picture


This book was interesting because there is a multitude of emotional issues going on and this photo I have found, illustrates just that problem. This photo, illustrates my belief that not only do we all have skeletons in our closet but Sam and her family are keeping those skeleton's (his alcoholism) in the closet by not acknowledging her father's problems. Her father at some level must feel shame for what he is doing and Sam feels embarrassment and shame for how her family really lives, so she hides her own skeleton. This picture illustrates the emotional toll that problems like these take on not only an individual who may have a problem, such as alcoholism, but the family as well.

This picture is actually a painting by Chris Peters and his work illustrates many hard yet beautiful issues and concepts in our world today. Check out his website where I found the photo.... Website
