I think the colour palette used in the film to symbolize the enlightenment of the characters is the most interesting. The characters oppressed by the society who follow their duty are shown in black and white, while characters that discovers their identity and finds desires are shown with colour. This is seen through the whole show, where everyone is in black and white and in a perfectly organized world to a place where each character posses colour, becoming full as a living being. This is interesting because it shows the development in the characters as they interact and realize their true selves, what they really are, not ideas influenced by what others believe.

Poems Of The Heart
Response to Barbie Doll by Marge Piercy,
Presented with two dolls,
one slim with perfect curves;
The other stout, with rolls that formed when she sat.
I reach for the one that looked just like me,
but they swat my hand and say
No one wants something so ugly, fat, and chubby.
But I thought that the tubby short doll was cute.
I thought I was enough.
Naive young girl, who dreamed with little knowledge of the beauty standard society had placed.
Now I’ve grown. Let the lesson be known.
I know not to eat so that I can look like the perfect doll.
I know to fill my body with plastic, Face and all.
Anything to look like that small barbie doll.
They would reward me for it, looks and awes.
if I could just look like that pretty doll.
I asked am I finally enough to adore
now that I am made from plastic
manufactured to be more.
I pleaded I begged for someone to notice
I had finally become what they all had wanted.
What I couldn’t see was I had destroyed myself, created a waste.
Where was the little girl who loved her face?
Response to We Shoot Children Too, Don’t We?
No peace until ave side is wiped,
taught in school Palestine is wrong.
How could we have peace when one side full heartedly believes the other is wrong?
A hatred so potent it drips off the tongue. Spreading lies, spreading Fear. Fear, Fear, Fear.
No one should rest their head at night feeling
Fear.
Fear of being bombed overnight.
No peace, No home, No weapons.
but stones.
And still others support what they
Know is wrong.
Over there, yes there,
Palestinians home, now filled
with bones, and others
to take what they
own.
