{QUES} Pictures to Represent A Novel?

[asian-fanatic]

I couldn't really think of a title that fitted exactly.. (been so busy lately, going to roam around here later! u_u)
I hope this goes here.



For a class project, I have to find a picture (or make one, but I'm not digitally artistic and I don't have time to sit down to draw), with enough material in it (i.e. objects, colors) to represent my novel - Jane Eyre (C. Bronte). Has anyone read it? I absolutely love it. Anyway, we have to talk about the elements of the book in comparison to the picture.

For example, for anyone who's read The Mayor Of Casterbridge (T. Hardy)...
Let's say I have a picture of mainly yellow and green of color, and trees with an open space in the middle where two women are standing, I could say "The yellow represents the wheat [as wheat plays a huge symbolic meaning in this novel] and so on.

I think this sounds easy, but if you think about it, although I do tend to over think, it's really complex, and this will show how much in depth you understand the novel. It also shows how you can make creative connections, etc.



I was wondering if anyone's done this or has some suggestions for a specific way to do this or a really good paintings website? Or just something in the novel (if you read it) that I probably didn't notice, which would give me a better idea of what pictures to look for. (I'm not greatest English student, or even close to a good English student, and the book isn't quite an easy read to me - vocab - sentence structure - ...still beats the language in Turn of the Screw by H. James...haha.)

This sounds like an incredibly pointless project. Why are they making you do this? It's really not teaching you literary analysis at all.
