The RED TREE

About the 'Red Tree' by Shaun Tan:

At the time that, when I first saw this image, I felt loneliness and heartless. That is because, she was always alone, and she always show her face that do not have the mood. Also, all the times she made the hallucination that scare or feel bad to her. Such as, made a big fish that is just shadow the girl, get in to the bottle that is not relate and connect to the other sites. Those of the facts made by her self. However, in the her house, I could see maple tree, that is get the light from the other, also she was smiling to that tree.

About the red tree people:

In the world, we could see those of people, however, when we are not taking care of that people, they will become a criminal or other bad people. Therefore, start now that helping the other person that are in the hard times.

My red tree is, my brother. His seven years older than me, but he is always kind and take care of me. Two years ago, when I was in Seoul, me and my brother was always together, because most activities that are similar to each other, for example, playing soccer, studying together and he helped do my homework. Now he is working in the army, because in South Korea, males most do the service of army. Therefore, I'd like to say 'do your best my brother!'
