I chose a painting called "our lady of the angels". This painting evokes a mood of lightness and brightness. They use alot of light colors, creams, pinks, and yellows that make up the clowds. Then there's the halo around the Madonna and child the gold pigment that makes up the gold seems to radiate around the heads of the two. They are both surrounded by angels. This painting invokes a mood of happiness for me. Baby Jesus in the paing has his arms outstretched as if to embrace the people who are viewing the painting.

Journaling for 20/11

I don't really see ow the two poems, "White Mans Burden"(wmb) and "Black Mans Burden"(bmb) are related other than the fact that they have similar names. They end compleatly differently, womb seems to end on a more dramatic note and bmb ends with something that sounds like it would be at the end of a funeral speach the two are "with honors holy breath" - bmb, and the other is  "the judgment of your peers!"
The bmb says "pile on the black mans burden" and the wmb says "take up the white mans burden" I think that this shows how back when these poems were written that the white man was more in charge and the lack man took the lower position. It seems to me like the poems are saying the white man just puts his burdens on the black man for him to carry as his own.
