A new leather jacket for Chris
The scene takes place in Brooklyn in NYC in 1983.
The main character is Chris: a teenager who looks like a child but he wants to look strong and tall.
He imagines with a leather jacket he can be cool and popular.
In 1983, a leather jacket was the most fashionable and elegant outfit.
Chris doesn’t have money, it is expensive but there is a good discount today.

Analysis of the painting
In the center, there is Ruby. She was the 1st black child to go to a white school.
She is wearing a white outfit in contrast with her dark skin.
The contrast gets our attention. The background is grayish whereas her dress is flashy white.

Analysis of the painting
Ruby is wearing a white outfit. She looks pure and peaceful.
There is a contrast between her clothes and her skin. She is very flashy and she gets our attention.
She looks like a soldier with a mission: she is walking to fight segregation; she is determined and she doesn’t care.

The painting by Norman Rockwell
In the center, there is Ruby with school things in her hand.
She was escorted by 4 US marshals: 2, in front of her and 2 in her back.
The police had a badge, a yellow band and the passport for Ruby.
On the left, there is the graffiti KKK (a racist organization) and in the background, the insult: « nigger ».
Someone threw* a tomato at Ruby.
