What is the question? LOL:) OK, In one sentence, write your idea of why all of your stories contained the same themes and ideas that Tennyson's poem expressed through Waterhouse's painting. What does that mean?

It means that we all interprected it the same way but we expressed it differently. -Bryan M. Chiffon

I think our stories combined because of our interpretation of what the picture resembled we saw the same things, we just expressed them in a different manner. - Ryan Bardwell

I think all our stories were so close becuase the common use of each one of the themes in many differrent books,painting, and music,and we each just interpreted them in a different way.- Sara Foessett

Our stories and themes were similar because as children we are exposed to cartoons, stories and tales, for example the many princess movies that disney has made and we've all seen. When we see a lonely women who seems upset what triggers our brains is one of the princess movies where the princess always has a prince charming that sweeps her off her feet and it seems like the princess is empty or missing something until she finds some man to rescue her. That is why we all had the same theme that the painting had something to do with love- Corey Anderson

As part of a society, we all have similar archetypes, creating a universal idea that can be represented with certain items such as the color white or a lonely depressed girl. - Jacob Lichtinger

Each group had stories that were so close together because with each of those base elements that were clearly evident from the painting (the sad look on her face, the boat, the quilt, etc.), the first reasonable conclusion was there had been a tragedy. -Jake Sturm

The fact that each group shared the same themes and ideas regarding the painting, reveals that every concept always goes back to a set of main ideas. - Ryan Kenskisowellthatheshouldbeintheolympics

I feel that we (humans) have more in common than we realize, and that even though different people add different ideas from their "suitcases", general interpretation is universal. -Tim Lasher

I think all of our stories contained the same themes and ideas because we took what we learned in the past and realized it was a depressing painting, connecting our stories together. - RJ Fucci

Every person has there own perception about things and this is was proved today by showing the class one painting where each group came up with a similar but different story for the painting. - Sean Christie

I think all of our stories contained the same themes and ideas because we took what we learned from the painting and realized what it symbolised and put it in own perception. - Sam Muffie

Every story can have a similar theme due to the socailly acceptable styles; no matter what the year or era some story lines can be the same for generations. - Nick Szobody

All of our ideas and stories were similar because we all think alike and yet present it in totally different ways even based on one image. - Jessica Sitter

I think our stories were similer because even though the painting doesnt completely tell a story, it still has structure that points you in a particular direction. - Logan Weichler

We've all learned the same childhood stories and been taught similar morals and ideals that we used and overplayed in our stories therefore creating similar themes. -Marisa Fryer

We all had similar stories because we could draw conclusions from the details of the painting, but we all had our own special interpretations. -the Millman delivers! (again)

I think that our stories are similar because the painter wanted us to get a same general idea of what's happening in the painting. We each analyzed the painting, and from what we've observed from years past, we all created stories with similar details. - Danielle Russell
