This picture was taken in Ireland, when it was rebelling against Britain. The cause of the Destruction of the car was unknown, but I think this car has more meaning then just a fatal accident. I think that the car shows the Irish during the rebellion, showing how they changed and also showing what could come to this country. If you look real closely the car is half on the road and half off. This, I think shows who the Irish were during the time period, they are half on the road of peace, yet half on the road of war. The Irish did protest during the revolution, but along with this they threw molotov cocktails at ships, robbed stores, and disrespected the laws the British had given them. In addition, the road slopes down, and then straight back up to rise to a greater elevation. I think that the picture is trying to show how you have to go down and fight for what you want to be brought back up. There was probably many casualties going down, but the outcome of rising up again is infinite.
I can really feel the connection of these events. How could a burned-down peice of metal represent a whole enitre countries fight? I don't know, but I can still feel the connection. Sometimes you have to go down to be brung up.
I think you did a really great job with being able to relate this picture to a real life situation. I also like how you probably did research to back up your theory. It wasn't something that I would have been able to come up with, even given where it was taken place. I think you did a great job really observing the picture and expanding on it. Great Job!
