The picture titled “Bloodz n Cripz, it’s on,” has a lot of meaning to it. The Bloods wearing red and the Crips wearing blue divides them apart, having there own colors as to symbolize which gang they are in. Also in this drawing it shows the two members from the different gangs giving each other a very vicious look. This shows that something that is immense will happen between them like a life taken away. The thematic connection between the picture and the story is that when someone joins a riot, the war, a street gang, etc. that person is bound to loose something that is very special to them, which will lead them to more hatred. In the picture looking at the way the two guys are staring at each other they look like they will jump one another for a very strong reason. Usually gangs meet up at a place and have gang fights, but most of the members aren’t fighting for a reason, they just fight because they have to, due to that they are in a gang and are supposed to fight when the gang needs its people. But in this picture it looks like one of the members killed the other member’s “brother” and now they are ready to take each other down as to revenge. For example in the picture, the artist decided to make the characters hold guns. This shows that they are ready to kill each other any time and you can see hatred blazing in their eyes like fire. In the story it says “Then the sniper turned over the dead body and looked into his brother’s face.” At this part faith turns the plate around on him. When the sniper was aiming at his enemy to shoot him down before, even though he had pity for the enemy he still shot him down, but if he knew it was his brother he would have not shoot him down. But since he didn’t he had lost something valuable to him because he was in the war, and sometimes the sniper may be angrier at what had happened and probably started to hate on everything even more than 
before.
