Both Sides

In the poem Both Sides Now by Joni Mitchell conveys the ups and downs in life. The most important part of the song is the second stanza. The second stanza amplify's the things Mitchell needs to accomplish in life and how parts of your life can go up and down. Looking up to the clouds shows that there is a higher life that Mitchell does not know above. He has gone through struggles in life "from up and down and still some how" represents the clouds. On our poster, we drew clouds above and below a man. This represents that you can look around and see what is going on around you. Also, the man might be feeling sadness all around him. Even if he cannot escape them. The clouds raining and snowing could symbolize love also. Love may be effecting his life. It may feel as if he is being rained out because he is sad from a relationship or love. Mitchell conveys the highest and lowest points in life by using clouds and how they affect his daily life.
