In the painting a man is leaning against the vietnam war memorial wall. The man in the suit is feeling really upset because he was in the Vietnam War and he survived. If i was in the Vietnam war and i survived it, it would be hard for me to deal with the pictures in my mind of the war. The man and the accident are related because maybe he was in the accident and was trhe only one to survive.

I was in a similar circumstance when I was in college. My best friend and I were in a car accident--he was killed but I survived without any injury. For a long time a lived with a lot of guilt. Why did he die while I lived? It didn't seem fair to me. I felt like I should have been with him. However, in the days and weeks that followed, I began to realize that I was left unhurt for a reason. It became my mission to live my life in a way that would make my friend proud--it's one of the reasons I am a teacher. While I miss my friend every day, I think that I have become a better person because of what happened to him.
