====Daughters of Revolution: In this satirical painting, these three snooty looking women are definitely not easy on the eyes, but when you look closer you see the famous painting of George Washington crossing the icy Delaware River. It took me a second to realize the satirical point of it until then; these "daughter of revolution" look aristocratic because of their looks, clothes, and the dainty tea. This is ironic though because they obliviously are supporting democracy.====

Patriotism can also be used because these Daughters of Revolution are in support of America.
====This piece is a polychromed wax figure, //England Expects Every Man to do his Duty,// of four men being merry, laughing and dancing. These four men do happen to be drunk, which only adds to the jolly good time they are having. This piece relates to my narrative because, even though I may not have been having a good time, "I of course [was] left standing in a corner drinking my punch" but Doreen's family sure was (if you get what I mean), especially Aunt Colleen.====

====The oil on canvas by Pieter Claesz depicts a half eaten meal of mincemeat pie and other goodies, a modest breakfast. Although my Thanksgiving meal in my narrative didn't consist of mincemeat pie, I still chose it because of the idea of food. Even though====

==== This piece is a Toy Kitchen. Primarily a toy, the kitchen also served to instruct the young owner to become familiar in things domestic. But the reason a toy kitchen is in the art museum is that it serves as a record of architecture, social history, metalwork, furniture, ceramics and glass. This piece fits with my narrative because it's a kitchen, the domain of all things good: food.====
