This rose jar represents my trauma because it represents how Last year, I became a different person and lost a lot of people I never thought I would lose in a million years. I stopped being friends with one of my closest friends at the time and I also lost my great grandma forever, my great grandma was the key to my dad's family and after her passing my dad's family fell apart. This was really sad because it broke my dad's heart and I saw a version of him, I had never seen before, this issue had a negative effect on me because of the way he began to act towards me and my family. losing one of my closest friends also had a negative impact on me because it sad to know I was the cause for it. The fallen rose petals represent all of the people that left my life. The jar represents me and the flower inside represents me on the inside and how a little part of me died. I can also compare this jar with the great depression a severe global economic downturn it represents the time period when people were broken and poor and barely any people were happy, people in the United States were struggling. I can relate this to Hitler and how he was a dictator that initiated World War 2 and the holocaust, the holocaust killing over six million jews leaving so many people broken which also takes us back to the single standing flower and how it represents the people that lost their family members, memories and gained trauma. One way I learned to heal from my trauma was to look back to that time when I had those people in my life and know that one time we had love for each other and when someone you love becomes a memory, the memory becomes a treasure.
