Compare and Contrast

After reading both quick writes, I've come up with some interesting similarities and differences. Many of the similarities were about subject matter inside the photo. for example, they both talk about the emotions that are displayed in the photo by the women. One of the emotions displayed, showed that the subject had a strong heart and that what ever took happened was unable to break her spirit. It was clear in the writing that the women spirits were not easily broken even through the devastaion they had gone through. Also, hope existed somewhere even though it was barely visible for them to see after the devastation that had occurred. Another similarity talked about was of photos being and black and white. The writing gave a description as if it might be some type of old photo. The two women could possibly be family or friends who share a strong bond between each other.

There were also a couple difference between the two quick write. The other quick write went into more detail with the women feelings and emotions, such as how depressed the women were. How sad one of the women looked. The saddness in their eyes. The quick write also stated how much more depression the women could with stand. Though I have been brief and quickly moved to the next subject, the details within the photographs caught my attention. Another difference that we spoke about was the women's right hand placed on her chest. The other quick write talked about how Photos showed character by not giving up and continuing to fight the struggle of whatever she going through. It was my belief that she was either posing for the camera or distraught because he took the photo of her.

I now see how people can walk away from a photo with a different opinion. Each eye that views a photgraph see things differently thus drawing a different conclusion from the next person that views the photograph. In the end, there are many similarities and differences people can have after looking at a photo.
