What image did I take from "Just Add Water"

The image that I took from the film "Just Add Water" was an image of tumbleweed.  Tumblewood is a living plant, yet it looks dead.  It exemplifies the town and Ray's life.  The town as well as Ray is not dead but it appears to look that way, but yet it isn't really, it is just camoflaged. The tumbleweed rolls through the town nobody really notices it but it is there, you take it for granted.  Ray's life tumbles in the wind, he doesn't truly ever get his chance to take root and have any control until he steps up and make changes in his life.  The townpeople also never got a chance to take control and grab hold, when they come together they make the change and finally able to make a difference.  Tumbleweed itself has an important role in its enviroment, it acts like barrier and shelter for small animals, like tumblewood the town of Trona is the characters shelter, it protects them from the outside world, the town lives within itself, but as the wind grabs the tumbleweed it released and free, as the townspeople freed themselves when the wind(Ray) steps up to bat and changes take place.

  1. I think it's a really good symbol especially when it's compared to Ray's life. I didn't know what a tumbleweed really want, never mind a living plant on the inside of something that looks dead.
