Book assignment #1
The picture symbolizes Rose looking into her only safe place, the only place where she is stronger than her abusive husband she left behind who is now hunting her down.
The plot of the story is a woman who got married to her "love" when she was young after she lost a;l her family. Her husband became abusive and didn't ever let her leave the house unless she was getting groceries and she had a very limited amount of money he would give her whenever she left the house. One day when he was at work she left and she ran away to a women's shelter and had to do it fast because her husband tracked his account and thats where she was getting the go away money. She got away and he spends the whole time looking for her and she finds one place where she becomes completely safe, at least for a while.
After reading the book i understand that the colors on the cover represent the veil she is faced with. Her husband is bad so he is red and thats why there is a red look. Red is also the color of blood and that is what came out of her every time he hit her. She had been near death many times which is black. The black represents the death. But black and red together represent her strength to overcome both those obstacles. The picture she is looking at represents her safe place which also has the colors of her past because it is where she overcomes everything that she has been through.
I think the name that it has suits it perfectly; i couldn't name it better myself.
