"Young Life" by Bo Bartlett

• The man in the picture is a hunter as evidenced by the dead deer atop the car and the gun in the man's hand.
• The artist, Bo Bartlett implies that men are meant to be strong and protective while women are meant to be weak and afraid. The woman is cowering next to her husband and son who both stand firm and tall each with weapons in hand ready to protect the woman.
• The little boy in the painting plans on living a different life from that of his parents. This is true because the little boy is not only physically distanced from his parents, but also his dress is unique because it's contrast to his parent's rural fashion.

Th young child in the painting "Young Life" ,by Bo Bartlett, will live a different life from that of his parents as evidenced by clothing and position. His parents, dressed in typical rural clothing with hunting gear, contrast the boy's starkly urban attire with a sweater and dress shirt, odd choices for a hunting trip. This difference in clothing style symbolizes the child's obvious difference from the other individuals in the piece. Considering the child's position in relation to the others as an important factor, Bartlett reflects the divide between the child and his parents with the long distance, moreover the child's back is turned away from them showing a new beginning and eventually life.
