Claims:
The child isn't loved enough.
The man and woman are either married or in a relationship.
The boy wants to be like the man in the picture.
Paragrah:
The painting "Young Life" depicts a scene in which a young couple, passionate though they are for each other, neglect their young child. Through the position of the two adults in the portrait, it can be inferred that they are in love. However, the boy is seperated from the lovers by an enormous gap of space, suggesting a distance in the boy's relationship with those people. Whether or not the two adults are the boy's actual parents, it doesn't particularly matter because the boy is mirroring the man's gun with his stick. Proving that although the boy aspires to be like his father, there is a significant detatchment from him and the adults in this scenario.
