They are aware that it has a sharp edge and it could hurt someone. They are careful to make sure it doesn’t get out of hand. But for some they are unable to and others get hurt, they even hurt themselves. Christopher struggles with his ability to keep his anger under control and he hurts those around him. His family, and others. He lashes out and only realizes afterwards what he has done. He is not careful with his anger which in his hands is a weapon. ]]> 2021-12-11 19:37:03 UTC https://padlet.com/steers2/xu3ja8gnbskgsmje/wish/1942024431 steers2 https://padlet.com/steers2/xu3ja8gnbskgsmje/wish/1942029300 Colours- He feels many emotions and is overwhelmed]]> 2021-12-11 19:44:42 UTC https://padlet.com/steers2/xu3ja8gnbskgsmje/wish/1942029300 steers2 https://padlet.com/steers2/xu3ja8gnbskgsmje/wish/1942030779 Christopher, in public, is overwhelmed by his surroundings. Not being able to think clearly, his mind almost freezes. There are too many things going on and he finds concentrtion almost impossible. It makes him feel sick. The many colours portray his mind being in many places at once, not being able to form full concrete thoughts. Too much is happening at once for him to process it all.]]> 2021-12-11 19:46:57 UTC https://padlet.com/steers2/xu3ja8gnbskgsmje/wish/1942030779 steers2 https://padlet.com/steers2/xu3ja8gnbskgsmje/wish/1942035219 Green- Health, life, and growth (lack of)

They are an annoyance, and they must be dealt with. Christopher’s dad, was angry, and Wellington got in the way. Wellington in this case, was the weed, and he was plucked from the garden by Christopher's dad with a garden fork. ]]> 2021-12-11 20:23:06 UTC https://padlet.com/steers2/xu3ja8gnbskgsmje/wish/1942056410 steers2 https://padlet.com/steers2/xu3ja8gnbskgsmje/wish/1942078331 Don't play with fire. Add too much fuel and you’ll get burned. When it is only a small flame you are less likely to be harmed, but when adding more kindling, you better be ready for the consequences. Christopher’s dad learned this the hard way, adding way to much wood. He flew too close the sun and got burned very badly. He almost lost himself in the flames. ]]> 2021-12-11 20:56:47 UTC https://padlet.com/steers2/xu3ja8gnbskgsmje/wish/1942078331 steers2 https://padlet.com/steers2/xu3ja8gnbskgsmje/wish/1943166011 White: peace, purity, equality

They are torn apart. It looks as if there is no hope of them ever recovering. But, Christopher manages to start the healing process by bringing them all to the same place. By brining them together it seems as though it may be possible. He has become the backbone of their family.]]> 2021-12-12 20:28:04 UTC https://padlet.com/steers2/xu3ja8gnbskgsmje/wish/1943173421 steers2 https://padlet.com/steers2/xu3ja8gnbskgsmje/wish/1943187501 Green: chance, hope

He begins as just a little sapling, shielded by the canopy his father created, until he breaks through and he must survive on his own. He must fend for himself, or he will not reach his final destination.]]> 2021-12-12 21:05:46 UTC https://padlet.com/steers2/xu3ja8gnbskgsmje/wish/1943209955 steers2 https://padlet.com/steers2/xu3ja8gnbskgsmje/wish/1943615964 Red: love and passion

This not the case sometimes, especially for Christopher's family. At times it can be really uncomfortable and seemingly hard to keep on a positive note. But to make it more comfortable, Christopher's family had to reposition to feel comfortable with love because it got uncomfortable quick, and when he wanted it to least.]]> 2021-12-13 03:36:01 UTC https://padlet.com/steers2/xu3ja8gnbskgsmje/wish/1943618082
