"Young Life" by Bo Bartlett

Give 3 claims with a supporting fact for each.

1. The artist is trying to show that he feels that the younger generation is too violent.
-The painting, titled "Young Life" shows a picture of a teenager holding a gun, and nobody in the picture appears bothered by that.

2. The little boy is holding a stick and standing to the side to show that he wished to grow up to be like the older teen in the picture.
-The little boy is standing to the side, holding a stick a manner that could be similar to the teen's, showing that he wants to be like him.

3. The truck and kids are situated in the middle of no where to show that the artist feel like violence gets you no where.
-The surroundings appear to be empty and the kids are not moving or trying to go anywhere.

Write a paragraph based on one of those claims.
The setting of the picture is in the middle of no where to show that the artist believes that violence gets you no where in life. This is shown by the fact that they are all situated in one place, and nobody is in a moving position. The truck behind them is also situated in one place and is not going anywhere. They are also surrounded by dead tree stumps, which shows that there isn't anywhere to go from here, just like the trees stumps that were once something good, that could have made something.
