In the title “Blue Skies, Brown Seas”, “Blue Skies” represent authority figures, and “Brown Seas” represent citizens, especially youth and adolescents. The “skies” are literally above the “seas”, analogous to how authorities are above citizens in social hierarchy, yet authorities have “blue dictums and rules” which can cause disarray and melancholy. Citizens have changed the color of the seas from the standard blue-green to brown in rebellion, which is much more than the authorites have ever done. The color change occurred by symbolic tea parties, representing the citizens struggle for their voices to be heard and their revolting cries to be answered, similar to the Boston Tea Party in 1773 when colonists fought for less taxes among other rights.
Also, the skies and the sea are constituents of the water cycle, in which water evaporates from the seas and is condensed into rain in the skies. This cycle is self-regulating, and is analogous to how citizens should respectfully question and regulate the rules of authorities, to ensure a progressive, dynamic society.
