in the African jungle. You are standing near the fire. Your family's at night. There is a chill in the air. Strange go. You cannot feel the warmth from the leaping flames of the fire. Your wife and three Children act as though you aren't even there. But you hear the African scops owl as it makes ready to seek its prey. You hear the crackle of the fire? Yeah, not the voices of wife and Children. The chill in the air turns to a violent fear. Panic overwhelms you. You've been told of a new creditor in the jungle, Possibly headed your way. You call to your wife and Children to get in the house. They cannot hear or see you there. Your get feeling is confirmed from the dark shadows of the night. Come flying through the air heavy and fish nets trapping you and your family, and you are forced to watch as your wife and Children are into submission. You you're helpless a shame that you cannot protect your own family. You know, it's only a nightmare. Trying desperately to wake out, you instead find yourself in the hold of a ship with very little life you towards stir. People change together, lying side by side. From row to stern, you become dizzy and then you pass way. Joseph Mallard William Turner painted the slave ship in 18 40. The painting is three feet high and four feet long. At first glance, it appears to be the portrayal of a very powerful oceanic storm at left Centre of Turner's painting. Off in the distance is a ship at the mercy of huge ways. It is surrounded by the dark blue portion of the storm and seems tiny and helpless compared to the power of the ocean. Turning uses heavy, almost violent brushstrokes. His choice of colors are to the extreme contrast of light and dark in the midst of the storm.

At the bottom center of the painting, this small section of light from the heavens becomes gold ish yellow ground, surrounded by the torment of the huge dark ocean way. Turner speaks with tremendous contrast of color. He catches the onlookers I with bright white in the sky at picture center to the left of this bright white that is used for the heaven, the slave ship sails into a very frightening dark blue section of the store. The eye follows the light from the heavens through the fiery red orange clouds as it creates a huge beam of light from the sky to the ocean. In this light on the ocean, Turner does the unthinkable, but he doesn't use his powerful, violent brushstrokes. Instead, he uses small, dainty strokes, and with these data strokes, he reveals several hands sticking out of the water, all chained together. You and your family and friends and many others from your village have been thrown overboard from the slave ship and all shackled and chained to each other. Really, with set you are now conscious on have realized this is no dream. You're very you know that you are dying. You're seeing your brother is still quite going on the surface. But he succumbs to the ocean fish as they buy chunks of meat and flesh from his body. All of you have taken your last breath, the weight of the chains on the weight of each other, whole cemetery bottom
