I chose to use a picture of a double rainbow to represent the poem, An Admirable Woman by Chrystal Foy.
A theme that I came up for the poem relating to my picture is that, someone who is admirable, has all of the colours in the rainbow and radiates the world through positive actions and beneficial words.
This picture relates to my theme because all of the different colours in the rainbow represent the different characteristics of the admirable woman:
- The colour red symbolises courage, this represents the admirable woman because according to the poem, she has "courage that one would admire" which means that she is someone who is brave like the colour red.
- The colour orange symbolises determination which represents the poem because of the line, "who goes the extra mile to help one in need or broken hearted" which requires determination for her to go an extra mile for a selfless cause which is like the colour orange.
- The colour yellow symbolises joy and happiness like the admirable woman who had, "happiness one would inspire" which means that she was someone who was naturally happy and so she would only the positives in life like the colour yellow.
- The colour green represents health. The admirable woman was a, "genuinely caring woman" which meant that she cared for how others feeling and if they were all right like the colour green.
- The colour blue represents intelligence and Chrystal Foy wrote in the poem that her, "intelligence, wisdom and hard work are not surprising" which means that she is naturally smart like the colour blue.
- Lastly, purple represents dignity just like how the admirable woman, "always keeps her head up high" which means that she is always proud like the colour purple.
I also chose this picture because underneath the bright rainbow, everything glows and is brighter than the world outside of the rainbow. This represents the admirable woman because she helps others and causes others to feel happier which makes the world brighter. There is a faint second rainbow which represents how she is a model to others and how she is setting an example.
Like the double rainbow, she also has double the determination of others to do selfless acts. To do these selfless acts she has "stamina, beauty and courage" which means that she has the determination to work hard so that she has the stamina to keep going. Most people see the negative as well as the positive in every situation, but the admirable women has a mind that is capable of seeing double of what we can. She is able to see the positive in everything but never the negative. As the poem states, "A woman that sees no wrong", meaning that she never sees something as wrong, only as right.
