"Young Life" Claims

Question for blog:  Make three claims about this painting, and have one fact to support each.

Answers:
1. Claim: The artist thinks that families who hunt are tough.
Fact: The expressions of the people are hard, and they display a tough personality.

2. Claim: The woman is the man's girlfriend or wife.
Fact: She has her arms wrapped around the man affectionately.

3. Claim: The man killed the deer.
Fact: The man is holding a gun, and the deer is lying dead behind him.

Claim 1 paragraph:
The artist of "Young Life" believes that families who hunt for fun are generally tough.  The viewers of this painting can gather this information from the people's expressions in the picture.  The man has a very serious, firm look on his face, and the boy's expression resembles the man's.  Another way to see the toughness of this hunter family is in the way the males stand.  The older of the two is standing tall, making sure you can see his gun.  The young boy is in a defensive stance, holding the stick up as though it were his own gun to make sure the viewer knows that he can defend himself.  All of these factors depict one word: tough.
