I think that your visuals of the red dual represented the death of the lover and their love for one another extremely well. The idea with the grey in the background symbolizing their memory of the person and how it would fade eventually over time was very clever, I probably wouldn't have thought of that. I think the visual of the dove from the poem was well done also. Well thought out symbolism!
Your tags were thorough, and your choice of textual evidence complemented what you were trying to get across very well. Aesthetically, your butterfly was one of the most appealing. The contrast between the usual connotation of cotton balls and your deeper insight was very cool, and I could tell that you put a lot of thought into it. It would be easy to go on a darker, more brooding route with your poem, but it's nice to see you took the poem as a whole and really did it justice.
Jenna, In truth I'm not sure how I can properly word my feelings on your butterfly. (In a positive manner!) I feel, just as Isabelle stated, you were able to thoroughly combine your point of view with evidence. Along with this, it seems to me that your interpretation of the poem itself was very interesting. I enjoyed the manner in which you turned something usually descrived as depressing and gloomy into a finall goodbye type thing. WIth this being said, I feel that at the time, it was important to keep faith and look on the bright side of things, something I feel you focused on with your butterfly. -Maria P.S. Though at first glance the red dots may seem a bit odd to others, I truly understood you idea behind them. In truth, I feel that they were a great element that helped tie the butterfly all together nicely.
I really liked your butterfly. I liked the tag for the cotton balls, especially the part about how people can seem soft on the outside but be cruel on the inside. To me, it seems like that could even be a representation of Terezin itself. You did a great job explaining the different parts of your poem; mood, tone, etc. Fabulous Job! :D
