The Empty Jar

One of the elements of studying literature is to try and understand the author's intention by interpreting her metaphors, imagery, analogy in her works. Come, let's try mine.

	Jason April 25, 2009   12:13 AM PDT   I missed one -- they both appear to have marks that they're trying to hide from us, but show to each other.

	Jason April 25, 2009   12:10 AM PDT   Two jars, both alike in dignity, in Fair blank white space where we lay our scene... They're both strong to the elements, yet fragile to a hard fall. Both are forged in Fire and strengthened due to it. Each keeps its own contents safe in its own way, though if one is willing to look closely, one can see everything it holds. Open, they'll hold whatever they're required to the best of their ability, but will crack and break under too much pressure, internal or external. They are able to hold, accept and protect a great many things, depending on how they're needed. They're closed until someone will open them up, when they will accept and embrace the precious content they receive and protect it as well and fully as they can. For now, they're empty inside. But, at least they have each other.

(sorry, very lond winded =P )

	melimeli February 21, 2009   08:20 PM PST   hehe huh? haha. Literature. I'll leave it to you guys.

	alie February 17, 2009   11:02 PM PST   hahha..one jar can open easier coz there is that thingy there so no need use so much force into it. the other one..on the left need to turn and turn and wastes lots of energy.btw,you need to put the lid down and it will get abit dirty lo.hmm...looks very nice jars.so clean.

	Jess February 9, 2009   09:26 AM PST   wonderful.

	tyfur February 7, 2009   10:01 PM PST   Two empty jars against a whiter-than-snow background, both are made of clear glass, meant for contents which succumb to decay and oxidation. One has a rather malformed screw top, the other has an air tight lid. Two empty jars of about the same size. Contents intended to fill both jars are, for this moment, not to be mixed, each holds itself as there are no mixer bowls or blenders in sight. Individuals for the moment. No indication of anything. No clues. Just two clear transparent empty jars.
