The story begins by the narrator describing a festival as he walks through the crowds of a small town. My mind immediately thought of bright, vibrant colors - purples, reds, yellows, greens. While reading I thought of happy thoughts and positive vibes. This is why all the paper balls inside the square are bright colors. The story then took a quick turn and became very dark and depressing. When the boy was locked in the cellar and described the darness and being scared of the mop, I thought of the once happy boy trapped in a box of darkness - grays and blacks. The bright colored paper balls represent the littly boy and the dark box represents the boy being trapped in the cellar, with the mop strings being used in order to hang the piece.
