My first magic board was a gift from my parents on my eighth birthday. I was beyond excited when I unwrapped the brightly colored package to find a sleek and shiny board with an array of vibrant markers. The board itself was a clean white surface that appeared to be glowing with possibility. I couldn't wait to try out my new magic board, so I quickly grabbed one of the markers and began drawing. To my amazement, the marker glided effortlessly across the surface, leaving a trail of colorful ink in its wake. It felt like magic! One of the things I loved most about my magic board was its versatility.
In a rather dignified party, mostly men, and a few women, chat with each other in an opulent room, with frescoed, pink colored walls and an elaborate crystal chandelier. On the table to the right, one finds fine glass wear and a silver platter filled with a bright red lobster. On closer inspection, one begins to notice various species of birds perched in the chandelier and on the guests' heads and hands, thus subverting the apparent decorum of the scene. Perhaps Sharrer wants to link the powerbrokers' chatter to that of birds, but as art historian Robert Cozzlinio points out, the birds will surely befoul the party soon enough.
