Claim: The older man and woman are dating. Fact: The woman is hugging the man.
Claim: The painting is trying to show the recklessness of young people. Fact: The man is holding a rifle and the boy is holding the stick in a defensive pose.
Claim: The man wants to show off. Fact: He has the deer displayed on top of the truck instead of in the truck bed.
In the painting, "Young Life," by Bo Bartlett, the older man has a strong sense of pride and wants to flaunt his achievements. He has the deer on display on the top of truck insteads of in the bed of the truck. Most people would have a first instinct to put the deer in the bed of the truck so that the deer would not fall off. Having the deer on the roof of the truck would allow everyone who passes the truck to see and appreciate the hunted deer, thus gaining the man glory.
Nice job making and supporting claims.
