Collage “The wine of astonishment”
The theme “Heroes & Idols”
The theme about heroes and idols plays a big role in the book “The wine of astonishment”. The
question is: Who is a hero, who is an idol?
My collage is divided in two sides, the top of the poster board represents idols, the bottom stands
for heroes. In the middle I drew a lot of question marks and arrows, because in my opinion the line
between heroes and idols is very thin and UNTERBROCHEN. Heroes can be idols at the same
time, and idols can be heroes.
But there are big differences between heroes and idols, which I
tried to point out. For example the side of the idols is a lot more colorful, because idols are
always famous and popular, most of the time they have a lot of money and live a glamourous life.
So the GLITTER, colors and some pictures represent the lifestyle that idols live. Some heroes are
popular, but little persons who nobody knows can be heroes, too, so that side is a little bit lighter.
Everybody wants to be pretty, rich, talented, success- and powerfull. I put a lot of pictures
of movie stars, singers, athlets and politicians on the collage, because they ERFДњLLEN all these
adjectives. Celebrities that are in the TV, newspapers and radio every day are idols for many
people, because they are special and everybody wants to be like them.
Bolo was a very good stickfighter, a handsome man and every villager knew and liked him a lot.
He was like an idol for the people in Bonasse, because he was a better athlet than everybody
else. The soccer and tennis player on my collage represent him, because they fight for their
success, and they really succeed, as the man with the POKAL shows.
Another idol in the novel, at least at the beginning, is Ivan Morton. You can see that when Joyce
gets really excited just seeing him driving by. I glued Angela Merkel on the
collage, the german chancellor. She has a lot in common with Ivan Morton, because she was very
important to many people, because she was the first female chancellor in Germany. Ivan Morton was
the first african-american politician, but he disappointed his people. Angela Merkel didnt disappoint
the inhabitants as much as Ivan Morton did, but she didnt really change things either.
Heroes have stronger personalities than idols. They dont do what everbody else likes, they stand up
for their believes to make the world better. The woman
who bites on a neckless with the words “speak” represents this strongness. The words “speak” and
also the picture with the demonstration on it tell us that everybody should say what he or she thinks,
but not be violent.
