Images in "A Painful Glimpse Into My Writing Process"

Knifes Stabbing the Heart- Right off the bat the image of a human heart beating fast is suddenly surrounded by knifes. The knifes are all different colors, shapes, and designs. Each knife comes in separately, but not in any specific order. The knifes come in fast and almost violently to symbolize stabbing the heart.


Cookies- I am not sure if this is what White was intending for the cookies to symbolize but when I first saw the cookies in the video I saw him as eating his feelings. Because the narrator talks about his struggles of trying to figure out what to write, I saw the cookies as another way of comforting him.

Words- After the hands did jumping jacks, random words starting popping up on the page. Sometimes I feel when trying to right I  get the most random assortment of words in my head. Some of the words are written in white with a blue background and some words are written in black with a yellowish background. The words seem somewhat random, but at the same time somewhat planned. The word 'certain' is repeated a couple times and some of the words the stood out to me were 'able', 'chronology', 'allow', and other words that have to do with writing and inspiration words. Then there were random words like 'fish' thrown into the mix.
