Reflection 

During the course and the semestre we read and watch a lot of stories, that had different themes, messages, symbols , figurative languages etc. we discover new vocabulary and added it to our own, we learned to examine and analyze the stories from different point of views that the author was trying to explain and tell the reader with it different types of writing and literature from different times in history.  in my opinion the class was very helpful toward my reading comprehension because i learned to see different perspectives to a plot or climax in a story learned to find the different symbols, and figurative languages to distinguished the real purpose of the stories and their message.

WOMAN IN GOLD

Woman in Gold.

Woman in gold is a the story of Maria Altaman, who takes on the Austrian government to recover her families heirlooms, specially a famous painting by the name woman in gold that was painted for her aunt Adele and was taken by the Nazis who eradicated her family. During the story we see a lot of different figures of speech like symbols, foreshadows, and flashbacks like the symbol of family that  is known as a symbol of unity and support, during the movie the mention this symbol a lot, Maria always reminds Randy that he is family, he reminds him about his heritage and this becomes a great factor for which Randy becomes attached and prioritized by the case. We see the unity and support randy and Maria have during the movie. On the other hand we foresee future action with scenes like At the begging of the movie When Maria tells Randy’s mom she needs a layer she can trust, and at the beginning of the movie we see that randy starts to help Maria with the case because of the price tag on the painting, however this scene foreshadows how randy becomes connected with the case and leaves his job, and makes this his number one priority, Being the right person Maria could trust that was foreshadowed in the first scene. Most important figure of speech in the movie are the flashback that g0 through out the whole story We see a flashback of the Nazis in Marias house, doing inventory over her family’s stuff, and how the paintings and jewelry was giving to Nazis generals and their families, and how their families name or last name was eradicated form the paintings and this is how the Adele’s portrait became the woman in gold. This is important in the movie because it gives important information to the spectator and to randy to understand the importance that is to Maria o get the painting back. Thanks to the use of figurative language, we understand why Maria Altman pursued to reclaim her aunts world famous painting that was stolen by the Nazis during World War II. that She did it  not just to recover what was rightfully hers, but also to obtain justice for the the Nazis actions.
