Very interesting & quite plausible.

Now look at it this way - for the pattern-generating mind, every image is information dense. Estimating the correct level of granularity with which to interpret them is critical, but difficult. I intended the beach image to suggest 'summer' (as in summer vacation), but just take a look at it: beach, sand, sea, ocean, palm, sun, sunset, sunrise, vacation, cocktails, deck-chair, solitary, empty, unpopulated ... -and this is just the visual content. The metaphorical content is equally vast - tranquil, peaceful .... one could go on and on. Now if I had chosen an image with people in it, umbrellas, beach balls and all that, just imagine how complex it gets.

I was trying to stay more or less concrete with the hints, you leaned toward metaphor. It is not necessarily 'deviant', not in a pejorative sense anyway. There are whole schools of criticism devoted to reader response. I could carry on with this theme, it is interesting, but then that will involve homework & term-papers for you, so I will stop here :rotfl!

 

To recall, I always used to do my homework in bumpy ride in bus. Pardon my squiggly splotches here and there on assignments. (But even that squiggle is trying to unfurl with myriad clues on my personality - how, why, what)


I'd love to belabour on this topic but am afraid I am close to being chucked out by Gauri if I lurk in this penumrabatic spot, love to discuss but can't discuss.

 

I made a typo in my answer in the post above - drat! Correction below.

You , you , you !

I saw that , but then I was like ,may be I'm wrong again, so did not dare to correct.

 

The usage of penumbra is two-fold

1) Doubtful , to venture or not to venture
2) I am sure you caught the pun, sand, beach, shade, parasol, and ..., ergo ....


Not to sound highfalutin, out-of-context, tangential , , ,

 

Yeah, that whole reverse-text thing threw me off my usual obsessive editing!

 

The personality portrayed in work, anthem, doctrine - Winston Churchill


Picture#1


Original: Tammany Ring by Thomas Nast; "Who stole the people's money?" Simple and short summary of Tammany scandal if you are interested - here


Captioned: Everyone is speaking English and can only comprehend English, hinting the book - "A History of English Speaking Peoples" authored by Winston Churchill. A History of the English-Speaking Peoples is a four-volume history of Britain and its former colonies and possessions throughout the world, written by Winston Churchill, covering the period from Caesar's invasions of Britain (55 BC) to the beginning of the First World War (1914). Also suggesting that we are talking of an Englishman.


Trivia : Easter egg in the picture, not necessarily a clue. "ekshtc" as in Ecstasy signifies Churchill's grandson's involvement in multi billion dollar ecstasy racket.



Picture#2


Original: Beach master mauling trespassing elephant seal to defend his harem of female consorts against encroachment.

Captioned: What can I give ? (I thought verbatim "offer" will be dead giveaway) ; blood and sweat, referencing famous "Blood, Toil, Tears & Sweat" speech during investiture in cabinet.

Trivia: Why seal? Not raccoon, reindeer. Again, not a clue but entertaining trivia concealed in the picture


During World War II, Winston Churchill was on the toilet when someone told him (presumably by shouting through the door) that the Lord Privy Seal wished to seem him. Churchill's response: "Tell the Lord Privy Seal that I am sealed to my privy, and can only deal with one tihs (reversed to cheat IL profanity sentinel) at a time."


Picture #3


Original : Uneventful, John Lewis advert of curtains (with a rod)

Captioned : Alluding to Churchill's policy of "Iron Curtain" during Soviet estrangement post World War II, verse borrowed from Helen Spalding's poem titled "Curtain". Bulleye if you were unable to decrpyt the pictorial clues.


Collating - "A History of English Speaking Peoples" , "Blood, Toil, Tears & Sweat" , "Iron Curtain" ==> Sir Winston Leonard Spencer-Churchil


Why did I chose him?

Want to add more details but I have no clue what I already typed with drowsy eyes ...(yawn!, skipping)
