The scene which Ms.Cross and Max are talking is significant because it has shows the position Ms.Cross and Max are at in their relationship.The color of the scene is warm.The Yellow, green tree and the blue sky are all giving the audience a comfortable feeling. It is a metaphoric way to show that even though Ms. Cross is much older than Max, however, the relationship between Max and Ms. Cross is not weird but normal, comfortable; at least Max thinks is normal.In addition, there are two trees in the background. The interesting thing is the tree behind Max is stretching it's branches towards the tree at Ms. Cross side.Just the same as the desire Max has towards Ms. Cross. However, we can see in the picture that Ms.Cross put her left arm around her right arm which shows she is trying to keep the distance between she and Max. In the scene, Max wears a dark,formal suit with a tie while Ms. Cross wears a purple casual cloth.Also, he sits on the higher level of the benches and he is looking down at Ms. Cross. It shows that even though they have a huge age difference, however, their relationship is just like the other perfect relationship which the male in the relationship are on the top of the relationship and have more control of the relationship."Rushmore was my life. Now you are!" Max says this to Ms. Cross. However, it is a quote that a boyfriend will say to his girlfriend, but not a quote that a student will say to a teacher. It demonstrates that even though Ms. Cross thinks they should just be friend and that their relationship is inappropriate, however, Max has always considers it as an appropriate relationship just like the love between same age boys and girls. An object that will fits into this scene will be a bottle of alcohol. Just like in Cather in the Rye where Holden is trying to invite Morrow's mother to have a drink, it will shows the maturity of Max in a better way if Max

has a bottle of alcohol on his hand.
