Interpretation (2)

The tomato:

The tomato may represent an eagle, the symbol of the United States. It hit the wall and made a splash of blood.

It can represent the blood of black people during slavery and the end of a racist world.

The hands of Ruby:

They are in the same position as the policemen’s. They are closed. She looks like she is going to a fight.

The attitude of Ruby:

She is determined. She is looking in front of her. She looks like she is going to war. But maybe she doesn’t understand the demonstration because she is a little girl.

The white colour:

White may represent peace, hope and purity. There is a contrast between the colour of her clothes against her black skin. She can be a symbol for the opposition between black and white laws.
