hey everyone
i have a psycho english teacher this year, and we have just done text 2 out of the stim book, but i don't understand it at all, it's the book cover "The ivory trail" by whats his name.... Victor Kelleher... if anyone could help me undertand it a bit, that'd be tops!

man that cover is awesome
i developed my own theory on it, i don;t have much time but here is a brief outline:


you have sand in the fore, mid and background, symbolising the sands of time blending the three phases. The character in the foreground is gazing into the dark in the upper right symbolising the unkown of the journey of life. THen you have the pyramid, the steps, climbing through lifem the sphinx symbolising knowledge, and the islam faith representing enlightenment.

the journey through life

and the tip ascends into darkness, either death or an element of unknown.
I would love to writeheapz more but i gotta go now

hope this helps.

you can email me if you need more in depth ideas...i GOT EM ALL!!!
