Comparison of the Story "The Continuity of Parks" And the Picture "Hand Drawing Itself"


In "The Continuity of Parks" and "Hand Drawing Itself", bothe works of art form a circle. 

In the story, the man sprawling in the armchair covered in green velvet immersed himself in the plots of the novel. While in this novel, a woman dated her lover in the mountain cabin, conspiring to murder her husband so that they can be together. As the sun set, they separated at the cabin door. The man ran as the woman told, holding a dagger. Finally, he found the man sprawling in the armchair covered in green velvet, reading a novel.


In the picture, a hand holding a pencil was drawing another hand, which has the same sleeve and hold the same pencil. The hand being drawn was drawing the hand which was drawing itself.


The story and the picture have the same artistic effect. Both of them form a circle. The story connected a role in the plot with the man reading this story. It begins with him and end with him. The picture drawing two hands drawing each other, or exactly itself. This kind of artistic effect produces a work that never ends, leaving the readers with endless imagination. BTW, I really enjoy the writing style of the story, peaceful and embellished account, although there are many new words in this story that I can hardly understand.
