A picture is worth a thousands words - easily!
After words find two other students to have a conversation about there conclusions! Perhaps you see another perspective and derive an opposing moral! Let the chatter begin
These three photographs all prove that we are all so lucky to live in such a developed nation where we have access to things we need such as food or water. Or that we have a proper job. Or even have things like our devices for our own amusement, but in other countries, many people don't even have one of these things. Some of us have reached the skies and have gone so up, that we have forgotten our own stature. We don't care about those who don't have these things. It's because we have them.
ReplyDeleteI think that the picture with the people making clothes or shoes was the most powerful to me because I know that working in a factory, making clothes and shoes is not one of best jobs in the world. For example, in Bangladesh, people who can't get a job, work in places like these because they have no other choice but to work in a factory. They work for long hours with little pay and with horrible working conditions. You're working as a labour! This is not called living, it's called surviving. In Canada, you may even be paid more for working at a part time job on the weekends.
In this photo, there are hundreds, maybe even thousands of people working for this one factory who aren't even paid properly. In my opinion I think that these people deserve to live the way we do, with a proper job, food, water, clothes, shelter, and education. Those people working like this must also feel like this. They don't have much to afford which is why they work in factories, for the happiness of their families, friends, and themselves. We need to learn to appreciate the little things in life like a pencil and a paper which is what we learn from. These photos definitely say more than a thousand.
Morals:
Factory-
everybody deserves to live the way we do and not have to work as labours.
Man feeding tiger-
We should be able to give to others and think about others because we are all equal. We all have an equal spot on this planet.
Two boys playing-
Our happiness doesn't come from everything we have, it comes from the people we touch around us. Because not everybody has everything you do.
I like what you did in your blogging, but you could have added more information on the morals and could have expanded a little to it.
Deletei think you should have just added the morals to the paragraphs in a more creative way rather than have a subheading for it
DeleteNo because the morals were just an extra part added in so I didn't want to put it into my writing. But thanks anyways. Make sure to check out my new and improved version.
DeleteOverall all of the photos that I saw were amazing they all have have they sharpened end of a pencil, they all have the story and understand end that people need to recognize. We have many examples in life for thing we live for and thing that we need to think for our future thanks to the internet and technology I can deliver this message without these thing in our life we would still be sending a message with pen and paper and take a week just to say hi to your friend but that's what we need to think,we should think and say wow look at how thing have changed in the past to future.
ReplyDeleteOur life is weird from how it use to be now it's all about the first person that bought the new Jordan's and how pretty you look or what you were but let's be serious there's people out there that can even get dollar store clothes and we still complain about what we need and what we want. In my opinion we should change the way us as human are like for example you want a flatscreen that will last you over a year but those giant Tv's we all call Dino's lasted more then what any other flatscreen would ever survive.
Let's change the routine and see that happiness does not come off of what you buy it's about how we are all together sharing caring for each other and thinking of ways we can change the worlds, the people's opinion and still manage to keep the world in one piece all together as a whole family.
In conclusion I am not against how others live their life but what I am against is thinking the same way as someone else I want to think off different ways to make an idea even better and change what you thought was okay. I'm against how people need to think it's alright to judge how someone else lives their life, if you rich or you poor thing will alway get judged so why don't we change that.lets change the way we are using technology and make that one big idea to help people and make things easier in life.
Third picture: what I see is happiness in two kids, showing us that we don't need the cleanest bag to hop in it's about being together.see technology is great and of course I can't live with out it but we need to understand that many people don't need the most fancy things in life just to be happy. It's a beautiful photo that tells a great story and that shows us what many think is impossible but it's actually life. In my opinion is that lets help each other and think more about how we can unite and come together and not become selfish and greedy. What kind of life are we living,we can't even pass the ball to the wrong person without fighting.
ReplyDeleteSecond photo: man and tiger. In the time we live in we can't see another person without judging them, but just because that person or thing did something wrong fix the situation and think that everything can be better if your together . If you see a monster with the sharpest teeth biggest claws and horns, you automatically thing it's evil or with try to kill you, what about if you thought you can give it a chance, now obviously most people would get scared and truly what I'm talking about if just fantasy but we need to think about how that thing or person would feel if you close the opportunity of a friend by your side right in their face. Lets be together and share , be together and make sure that the next person you thought would be a man eating monster give it a chance and think what you can do for it.
First photo: technology. See technology Is magnificent it helps all of us but most people take power and energy that we can use to create something else that can help the world and just waste it on things you thought you needed but see if we can take advantage of what technology can give us we can also create a plot or idea and combine it with other people that are ready for the future, ready for what will come and what we can use it for. This photo is amazing I love this photo because it shows the people that are using technology and prossesing the idea and ways that they are helping us and themselves. We are the future ,we are the next step ,lets think and use technology for ways that can help the world.
Good responses , I like how you use our opinions of tigers and make people see differently about them

ReplyDeleteMorals:
ReplyDeleteThe two boys: if they can live free and have fun their why why don't we try liveing their way and stop thinking we need so much thinks in life to live happy.
The man and the Tiger:
We all need to charge just because one person of someone look different it does not matter, we need to be together.
Technology:
Let's change way we use technology and chase our ideas to make life much more easier.
Sorry I could not fit everything into one comment
ReplyDeletegreat responses
DeleteI think the photo of all the people on computers using technology is what us "free" people are doing today. The photo with the 2 boys shows me how the use their mind to create FUN !!!! I think the one with the man and the lion shows a connection with the animals and nature.
ReplyDeleteI think you need to add more detail.
DeleteI agree to Shaili, you could have expanded your thoughts and added your opinion, also you could have predicted what is happening in the picture, lastly you could added a moral
DeleteWay too general maybe thoughts about the picture in a specific way such as how the tiger and man connected with nature and is it a positive or a negitiv and the why
DeleteSorry Mr. Cheney I was gonna post it at 7:00 but I thought we aren't to do it or to do it in class but this is mine
ReplyDeleteLooking at the 3 pictures, I choose the first one because it show that to make a branded shoe it takes so many people to succeed the work. I see that there are so many different jobs from small to big, just to make a branded shoe. Having to make a expensive shoe it takes a lot of effort. There are so many stations and so many people working on many different tasks. Some of them could be, deciding on the type of shoe they want to make, drawing the design for the blue prints, materials that is needed, tools that are needed, what part should go where on the shoe and more.
ReplyDeleteThe story behind this picture is that when we buy a branded pair of shoes it had taken a lot of process and effort just to make it so we could wear something new and show it off to others. We should be respecting the people who worked hard on this because the amount it time that has put on to it is a lot so they can make new designs for new shoes each time. The cost would be a lot because they used a lot of different ideas, they collaborated with others to design different parts of the shoe and the gave a lot of effort into the making of the shoe.
Some of the morals or life lessons we can learn from this picture is that we should not just judge by how the shoe looks or how cheap it is because either way the people who worked to make the shoe come to the stores is because of all their hard work and time it took. Also, having a cheap shoe doesn't mean it didn't take much time or effort, it does! It is just that maybe less people might work on it rather that the amount that worked for a branded pair of shoes.
I predict that the picture is telling that to make a shoe it takes a lot of the amount to work on something from branded to not so branded. I think that it is also trying to tell that there are many little work that takes a lot of time to do. In my opinion, I think that having a branded pair of shoes is good but at the same we need to relies the amount of attempts it took to make it. They might have tried over 100 times to make it work the way they want to, so it is comfortable for us to wear and at the same time they try to produce a better and fashionable product for all to wear.
I really appreciate the hard work and efforts that were used to make shoes. I can make a web on how much work is used to make the shoe. In conclusion, effort and time time is what makes the branded shoe look and be great.
The second picture shows that a person is sharing his meal with a tiger. But we usually either kill the animals or we would just trap them. This man is respecting the animal- tiger, he is treating him/her right the way we are treated. In my opinion I think he is doing the right thing because he is being kind to the tiger. If I was to compare him to us it would be nothing alike. We would just kill him with a gun or trap the tiger that would make it get hurt any way. I predict that the picture is showing how the man is communicating with the tiger and not being wild so he doesn't get hurt.
The third picture shows how the two kids are enjoying for what they have.
Even thought they are poor they are just enjoying the way we would when when have a lot to thing. In my opinion, they are very strong because even though they get little to eat, drink, rarely any clothes, games like we do and more.if I compare them to us they win that is because if we were them right now we wouldn't survived, we would need all our toys, games, food and all the other things. In conclusion, this picture is very touch full. We have the advantage for the newer technology and the new thing but they have to use what is worn out.I do appreciate that these kids are very strong.
This is a very detailed response and very well written. You might want to check the last paragraph about the two boys because some of it is hard to understand.
DeleteThank you i will fix it

Deletewhen i was on twitter i got the same picture so ya
Deletethey are not making shoes there making clothes
Deleteit could be shoes or clothes but either way it takes a lot of time t make it and many different process
Deletethe third photo is a very powerful picture. it shows two boys playing with sacks. they don't look very wealthy. i think this is fantastic. kids from the first-world, always want the newest technology, the newest clothes and the latest styles. that is what makes these kids happy. but these kids probably have next to nothing, but they are still happy with a sack they found rolling around.
ReplyDeletethis goes to show that happiness does not come from the latest technology or fashions, it comes from good people. kids from the western world get mad at what color their iphone is. i've seen kids get mad over a black iphone, when they wanted a white one.
the moral of this picture is that happiness can come from anywhere at anytime. it does not nessacarily have to be from your device. real happiness comes from good people not good accessories.
these kids found happiness in a paper sack. American children cannot find happiness in an old iphone. in my opinion american children should learn from this photo and take a moment to reflect on how fortunate they are, to even have food on the table three times a day.
I like your respond but you could expanded your thoughts and added your opinion
Deletei did... i added that children should be more patient and thankful and learn from this picture
Deleteok
DeleteWhat do you think we can do about this?
Deletetry to enlarge your sentences and stop using so many periods. Good response.
Deletejust make your paragraphs more longer and expand your thoughts
DeleteNice use of connection to the actual world.

If I was to compare them to with us they would have won. If we were in their position right now we wouldn't have survived because of all the advance products and items we have. Being in that position we would need all our toys, games, food, device most of all the wifi to play games, and all the other things. In conclusion, this picture is touching. We have the advantage for the new technology and the new things but they have to use what is worn out.I do appreciate that these kids are very strong .

DeleteAlso looking at the first picture, they only gender working there is females.
DeleteThis is what i have fixed
ReplyDeleteAll these photos look amazing and blow my mind. They all make you think about it and what they mean. All three of them tell three different powerful stories, but In my opinion the first one shocks me the most. The photo tells me that everything you buy someone worked hard and spent hours making it, and we don't realize. Someone put hard work into that item and don't even get paid what they deserve to get. We are always selfish and want the most expensive, or nice item and we don't even realize what that person had to go through to make that idem that we think is garbage. As you can see not everything just randomly appears there are hundreds of people in that photo just to make those shoes, or clothes that we may not like. Not everyone is rich and have the newest technology item, some people even struggle to find fresh water and our minds just ignore that, to care about we don't have this and we don't have that. I think that people who go through this should get paid as much as us because they work just as hard or even harder than most people nowadays. Overall I think we shouldn't judge something right a way because nobody's what people had to go through to make that item.
ReplyDeletei think you should have divided your response into 2 or 3 paragraphs instead of writing one superparagraph. and this response is kind of all over the place and is not solely focusing on the picture
DeleteYou could have compared It with the other her photos and gave your thoughts on it
Deletei chose the second photo because it was a man sharing his food with a tiger that shows me we are all a global village and we should be treated equally just like the man and the tiger. this is definitely a life lesson for me because it shows me how blessed and fortunate i am to be in canada when all these people are in foreign countries with barely any food and so kind enough to share with a tiger when no canadian or american would never go close to one even if they had a life supply of food to give away in fact they would probably trap it or kill it and skin it and make it a rug right beside their bed.
ReplyDeleteI like your respond but you could have add your opinion and expand your thoughts
Deletei like what you think of the photo but maybe add a example
Deletei think you should add more detail to your response.
DeleteYou have a good response but try to think outside the box and make it longer.
DeleteI agree.
DeleteAdd what you thinks well.
*think
DeleteThe one where the people working in the factory is the one that catches my eye. From the picture i can see a story. I see many people struggling because they do not have a proper job. There are about thousands of people working in this. They don't get paid right. Many people are greedy for money they don't like to give money to others so they keep it and only give some to their workers. From the picture i can tell this is a country that is not a developed country.
ReplyDeleteThe place they work in can injure they health. Their life is at risk. Their might chemicals that might injue the health of others because it is not clean. They place is not even safe Also they are not even using proper machines.
I believe that no one is taking a stand to for their rights. All human beings have the same right so why are they being treated like the way they are. In my opinion they live in a cruel place . For example many people work their and why don't they have a proper job. What if the government did not accept them or something. They probably don't even have enough to buy their family something.
I have many family in Sri lanka. Thier average monthly pay rate is 30,000 rupees. That is about $300 of Canadian money. My parents make that in 16 hours of work. My uncle needs to go to work everyday. He wakes up 4am and leaves at 6am and comes back home at 10pm. He works around 16 hours a day. My parents only work 8 hr a day and they don't work on Saturday and Sunday.
The moral of this story is to treat others the way you wanted to be treated even though that does not happen. The lesson i have learned is that no one is doing any thing.WHY?
i like your self connection, your response is very meaningful
Deletei think you ended your response on a very open ended note. you should end it on your final statement, to make it better.
DeleteBut I think that the WHY? makes the ending more effective. It gets people thinking about why it happens. If it was just a normal statement, I'm pretty sure I would forget what the message is.
DeleteThis is a amazing response, I like how you added your opinion and connected the picture to yourself.
DeleteI liked your response, the ending really stood out to me as it was very effective. the self connection was the other thing that really got my attention. Great work! :)
Deletei think that the third photo is a very powerful one because it shows how we as kids have new technology and we dont really have to look for things to do since its right in our hand. what there playing with is a bag and the kids look very poor, but there still having fun. i think that this shows that no matter what your doing you can always have fun or it also says that we under appreciate the things we have. i see that the kids in this photo are having the time of there life and there just jumping is sacks. this can also show that the kids are having fun and no fighting whatsoever, nowadays people arent that happy just playing, people always want more but sometimes i think that just a little is just enough.
ReplyDeletea life lesson that i could learn from this is that to appreciate the things we have.eg. if my mom bought me some new clothes but i dident like it i woud still take it becuse it could have a use later on.one day i had no clean clothes to wear so i decided to wear the clothes that my mom got me. this says that i appreciated the clothes that my mom bought and i found a use for them in the end.i think that the kids in the photo are very lucky to at least have something to play with because other poor kids may not have food, shelter, or clean water to drink. kids today have many of these things but they dont care if they waste it because they know that theyll get more. but the dont know that there are kids all around the world begging for food because they cant afford thier own.so i think that kids today are spoiled because when they throw away things that are perfectly good other children would die for it.
overall i think that this picture is a very valuable photo.just remember to appreciate others who dont have anything of thier own.
This is my new and improved response
ReplyDeleteThese three photographs all prove that we are all so lucky to live in such a developed nation where we have access to things we need such as food or water. Or that we have a proper job. Or even have things like our devices for our own amusement, but in other countries, many people don't even have one of these things.

We need to learn to appreciate the little things in life like a pencil and a paper which is what we learn from. These photos definitely say more than a thousand.
Morals:
Factory-
Everybody deserves to live the way we do and not have to work as labours. They deserve the same treatment as we do. They deserve better working conditions, better payment, and access to their needs. These people shouldn't be treated differently just because they are not as fortunate as we are or they don't have a proper home. These people are working so hard for, so that we can have something to wear on our feet so we don't get cold in the winter. And what do we give them? Barely anything. We are basically treating them like slaves and we need to stop.
Man feeding tiger-
We should be able to give to others and think about others because we are all equal. We all have an equal spot on this planet. The man isn't treating the tiger differently because it is different. He thinks that this tiger deserves to have the right to stay alive. I know that tigers are endangered and we aren't doing much to save them. Tigers, like all animals, play an essential role in our ecosystem. If they become extinct the ecosystem could start to fall apart. So, this man thinks that everyone and everything deserves the chance to live. We shouldn't treat others differently because they are different. We should treat others with admiration because they are different.
Two boys playing-
Our happiness doesn't come from everything we have, it comes from the people we touch around us. Because not everybody has everything you do. Many people on this planet can't afford to buy the things we have such as our iPods or iPads. You could even leave that, they can't afford to buy enough food to feed their families. We shouldn't look for our amusement in what we have. Because we won't always have all of these things.
nice work on improving the response
DeleteI really like how you expanded your thinking about comparing ourselves to others.
DeleteYour new response is amazing! I liked your opinion more than others and great work on the morals! :)
DeleteChoosing one of the three photographs depends on perspective. What you think the photo means, and how does it captivate you. In my opinion, I think that the third photo has the most groundbreaking and enthralling message is the third one. The one with the kids playing happily.
ReplyDeleteI chose this picture because it has a very direct message that came across to me when I’d seen it. To me, the kids seem to be poverty-stricken (Note the location in the background as well) but still, they are still able to have fun and enjoy life, no matter how unfortunate they are. In today’s world, we often take our life for granted and are not happy with a lot of things, no matter how fortunate they are. We all have iPads and iPods and TV but we still often take them for granted. And now compare yourself to these kids. Look at how they’re laughing. These kids are using what they have to have fun; by using some dirty cloth bags, and they probably aren’t as fortunate enough to own all our things that we have today, yet they still seem to be enjoying life, without the electronics or money or things we have today. This just proves to show you that money isn’t always necessary to enjoy life, no matter if you’re poor, rich, old, or young. It just doesn’t matter. As the old saying goes “Money can’t buy happiness.” And I think I associate this picture with the quote. To me, it’s self-explanatory. The kids aren’t as fortunate but still have fun. And that’s what really matters- enjoying life and to make the best out of it. We don’t always need fancy things in life to enjoy it. We are much more fortunate than them, so we also have to learn and appreciate life just like them and not take it for granted. What really matters is to take it easy and just enjoy life!
i tink you should have divided your response into 4-5 sentence paragraphs to make it better structured and organized.
DeleteThanks for the feedback!
DeleteI think that there are a lot of meaning to the pictures and I think that the most detailed and the most quality picture is the 3rd one which shows the 2kids playing with each other. The second most detailed and the most quality picture is the one with the lion eating with the human. The final one I don't quite understand I only understand a bit and I'm not even sure if that is what it is saying.
ReplyDeleteI can fully understand what the picture with the two kids playing meant because it was that effective in my opinion. This photo meant that it doesn't matter about what problems they are facing, their happy that the could be friends. It also doesn't matter abound how dirty the bag is or how poor they are, they just want to be with each other and that is enough for them.When I looked at this photo I immediately understood what it meant, when I compared this photo to the other photos this one had the most value and quality to me. This photo might also mean that true friendship lasts forever and also this picture shows those to alone and no one around so I think that they were alone before so this makes me think that the were orphans and the only people they know is each other and they are still happy and still surviving so this picture means that the power of friendship can cause a lot of happiness.
The second most detailed and most quality photo is the one with the lion because this is very clear to me. This photo is showing how humans and animals can live together in harmony. This also shows the piece that can be shown by mankind and if we think about the things that's been happening around such as the way building are created and the death of animals created by us humans. When I compared both of those pictures they both were opposite, this makes me think of animals and not killers but people that are trying to defend their habitats if we were animals and the animal were human and if they were doing the same thing to us we would try to defend ourself and protect our habitats so we can survive conditions that are not suitable for us.
The photo with the people working and making clothes and such didn't really quite makes the most senseless the to me. To me the only thing I can understand that they are working so hard so there children could live on happily, I noticed they are all women, this makes me think of the mothers bond with there kid and the amount they care for there kids and the obstacle they would over come. It was either that or it represented something totally different, maybe the amount of people there and the fact that the place is divided into little spaces for them to work separately means something as well. I think that this photo means not the hardships of the people but maybe the fact that mankind doesn't like to cooperate so maybe they want to work on purpose so they don't get disturbed, but the fact that there is so much people makes me doubt that assumption.
All of these photos are good but the one that it think is the most effective to me is the first one.
nice use of using yourself as how you understood. Great support for friendship.
Deletegreat response but you should have added paragraphs to make it more organized
DeleteI did on noted but it didn't show up
DeleteGreat response, I liked the part where you talked about friendship the most. By the way I think you mean note not noted.
DeleteI think all of these pictures are powerful pictures . All of these pictures show equality. In the first picture it looks like people working very hard. Good for them you think, but look closely. All of these people look like women to me. Why do people do this? We were all brought in this world equally and people have rights . Women have rights and they are capable of doing things that men cannot do. We should treat each other equally , we are human and all have strengths and weaknesses so just because you're a woman , don't think that you're weak. Remember when you were taught to treat others the way you want to be treated so just because you are mature and grown up now, doesn't mean you should forget what you were taught. You only have one life so make it be worth living and don't make other's lives miserable.
ReplyDeleteIn this photo you're probably thinking what is this man doing? Does he want to be devoured by this tiger ? Look closely. The tiger looks harmless eating what the man is giving him and the man doesn't look frightened. They look calm together. What's the first thing that pops in your mind about tigers? They are deadly. Dangerous. Vicious. But that isn't true. If you leave it alone, it would stay away from you. You think that tigers are vicious because they always hunt the cute and cuddly animals but that's not fair to them, they just do it for survival. Let's compare ourselves to tigers. What do we have? Shelter, unlimited food and water, clothing. And tigers don't have anything. We just walk in a grocery store and get whatever we want. Tigers have to run and chase after their prey. We would be exhausted if that's how we got food. This man sees tigers differently, he cares about their lifestyles and we all have sensitivity. Animals have feelings too! So remember not to treat animals with disrespect. They have rights too.
In this photo it shows that two kids are happy and playing with each other. From their physical appearance it doesn't look like they have much, they aren't wearing shirts and they have dirt on their bodies. If you didn't have much and were in their place would you be as happy as they are? Probably not. These boys don't have much but they're happy with their life, it looks like they found sac bags and they are racing each other . I think that this is the most powerful picture because of happiness. As long as you are happy you can do anything and anything is possible. People are struggling with starvation so you shouldn't be complaining about not having enough shoes. Be happy and live your life, it's your life and make it special, be happy because you are worth it,
Morals: people working: Treat others without sexism and treat others the way they want to be treated.
The man and the tiger: don't judge someone or something but their physical appearances. Like don't judge a book by its cover!
Two kids: be happy anything is possible as long as you're happy.
you could have added more information in the morals
Deletebut your respond is good
DeleteI enjoyed reading your response, it reading your response, it was really great on how you decided to question people for the tiger one since it makes people think twice. The only thing I would recommend is as Tanvir said, your morals need a bit more detail.
DeleteThanks for the feedback! I wish there was a edit button for my response...
DeleteI love the way you put your perspective in place and really focused on what the picture meant, to you, and how you incorporated what you observed into the response. Great job!
Deletei think that these pictures all have different meanings. the first one could be a picture of a sweatshop with kids working to save money for their family's. or it could be a picture with normal people working in a normal factory. it could also be a picture of slaves with their keepers. there are a lot of ways to describe this picture. if you look really close you can see that there are only women working and some men are standing up making sure everything goes perfect. i think that picture is showing us that life's not fair for everyone. some people don't even have freedom in their life at all. i think that everyone can learn something from this: you should be happy for you freedom and enjoy your life because some people don't have the freedom that you have.
ReplyDeletei dont think it is kids working. its women

ReplyDeletegreat example by talking about our technology and they don't have technology.
DeleteThese 3 pictures show a lot about our world. It shows how lucky we are to live here. In the old times there were barely any technology in the world. But in this advanced nation, it proves in which we are lucky to have these things. We have advanced a lot during the past years but we all want more. We should be thankful for the fact that we are living in this society. It is amazing on how far we progressed. Just think about it, from letter writing to electronic mails. And not just that, all the pieces of electronics are improving right at this moment. Everywhere in this world there are many who do not have any devices. So we should be thankful that we have many things.
ReplyDeleteIn the old days, everyone used to like everything for what we have. But now in the modern times, it's all about the clothing and fashion trends. People don't appreciate what clothes they wear. They just follow some weird fashion trends that everyone is into. People want 100$ shoes or clothes just because it looks nice or they see people wearing it. But let's be honest, if you go downtown right now I bet you there will be those poor people who can't afford anything. So we should all stop complaining and be thankful for what we have at the moment.
These days, people are happy because they get to play some video games on their play station or xbox or their Nintendo consoles. In the past, people don't have video games. They used to run around for enjoyment or they cook or do chores. That's what makes people happy, but now everything is messed up. We go to school and when people get home, they start heir homework and be couch potatoes playing games all day. That is the only thing people do nowadays. That's what people get happy about, just playing games all day. This is what all the pictures together represent. Our world and us. Now onto the pictures.
First picture : What I see in this picture is workers and technology. I bet you, the hundreds of people working here don't want to be in that place. They work all day which barely any breaks. They make clothes all day and get paid for so little compared to the price they sell the clothes for at Nike or Adidas. It takes so much effort and work to make those shoes or clothes. People don't even imagine what it's like from their perspective. Just think about this workers forced to make clothes and they only get paid minimum wage. Think about it.
Second picture : This picture stands out to me the most. It's just a man feeding a wild animal. What it means is not everything is different. If you see a tiger or a bear running at you, what you think is you are going to die. What if it was just trying to get some food near you? What if it was just trying to be a friend? The reaction people will get when they see one of these animals is "KILL IT!" But as shown in this picture, it is showing a man getting along with another animal. There is no problem with that, but people imagine it as a huge problem. You need to respect all living things on this planet. Treat everything nicely instead of calling someone or killing animals.
Third picture : In this picture it represents 2 kids having a good time. You don't need electronics to have fun. You can go to your friends house and play with them. As shown in this photo the kids are playing together, enjoying it, probably more than you would as you are playing games. You need to enjoy your life instead of playing by yourself. Happiness doesn't come from money. It comes from friends, from family, from those who you love. Not just some silly online xbox games or ps4.
Morals
Clothes Factory
1: Everyone is supposed to do what they want with their lives, not to just be forced to be a labourer.
Man With The Tiger
2: Respect everyone and everything on this planet. We are all equal in every way and none of us are different from each other.
Two Boys Playing
3: Happiness doesn't come from our money or what we own. It comes from others that we truly like or love.
you could have expanded more thoughts on the morals but other wise it is good
DeleteI know, I was thinking about it but I thought it would be too long. Next time I will try to improve. Thanks for the advice though! :)
DeleteI think the 3 photo is very powerful because the 2 little boys in the photo looks very happy together . They look like people who doesn't think too much who doesn't stress on stuff . Even though they don't have all the good stuff other kids have around the world they still put a big smile on there face and still appreciate what they have
ReplyDeleteThis was super hard

ReplyDeleteIn all these photos it represents on 2 different ways people live. For example there's people like us where we have a good family, were not in need of help and we have great gadgets to play and socialize with! We have enough money to buy food and all our needs. But in other places of the world there are families that don't even ave enough but they make the best out of it. You should be happy for what you have and don't waste it all. Sometimes we are all so blinded we don't even pay attention to those in need, sometimes.... we only think about ourselves! But we have donations and fundraisers across the world to help those in need. These pictures are worth caring about, it gives you a massive message to think over things, when I look at these photos it seems like some families are in poverty but they still smile and make good efforts to make the best out of it!
ReplyDeleteIn the first photo it shows people making clothing in a factory. Their working for money and I can see a usage of technology there. That actually sends a big message, the use of technology help out alot! It's more easier for people to make and create things. This shows how lucky and how thankful we all should be comparing to the rest of the world. It's a really good thing we have technology to help because back in the days..... it was REALLY tough, there was no technology even created and people had to learn how to survive in the wild and do things with there hands well EVERYTHING by hand. So that's what this pucture is telling us.
The second photo shows a man eating and sharing it with a lion. This photo reveals the caring of a man's love for an animal. They deal with what they have. They really don't mind, this man is showing love towards this animal, he's not only thinking for him self, that tiger is really close to him as you can tell, I can connect this to a movie called "Life of Pie" this kid was in a shipwreck and he escaped on a boat alone, but he wasn't the only one on the boat, there was a monkey and a Zebra but what he didn't know that there was a TIGER and he was really scared but then after the days of him living on a boat with a tiger for I don't know how many days, he started to become really good friends with the tiger and when they reached on an island, one day the tiger went into the jungle and never returned while the man was crying and people came for rescue and in the future of the movie he is now married and has family and tells his story world wide about his journey as a younger boy.
It doesn't matter how the person is.... STOP judging! It doesn't matter. This man shows love and support and doesn't care, this tiger loves the mans company too
In this last photo it shows 2 little boys playing and laughing in sack bags racing. It shows excitement and happyness with the connection these boys have with each other. Even though some people really don't have enough, as I said before they make an effort and try to do their best and help out. But with these kids, they don't care, they make use of what they have and wouldn't want to waste it but other people who do have enough to reach the levels of their needs, do waste and some don't even really care but others who do choose to care would try and help out the rest. I thought these boys would be playing with a football and doing something other than sack racing, but afterall that's what some people have but they make the best out of it.
Over all these photos sends big messages, and which can change the world with the message others receive
I liked how you expressed your feelings. It was a very detailed response!
DeleteYour response was great! I liked how you put some examples and how you tried to make it as detailed as possible. Keep up the great work! :)

ReplyDeleteAll three photos are really touching and shocking, the first one is really shocking because it looks like over hundreds of people are making shoes and it looks like they are forced to do it. The second one is touching because the man is feeding his own food to an lion and that's very kind of the man but most people wouldn't feed animals cause they don't care about them but this man is caring to an lion. The last photo is speechless, two boys having fun with just two bags, they don't need technology to have fun, they're just having fun like normal kids but just with no technology.
ReplyDeleteFrom all three photos the third one is the most touching, shocking, and speechless one because two boys having fun with two bags, they're smiling, laughing, enjoying their self and all they need to do that is with two old bags. The third picture show a lot of meaning that you can have fun without technology and they're proving it by the toe boys in the old bags playing a game. If they had electronics they both would have been stuck in a room or their houses playing everyday instead having fun outside where the sun shines everyday and where their friends and people play too. All this photo is showing is that you don't need electronic to have fun, you can go outside and enjoy yourself by many things, riding you bikes, going over to friends houses and playing with them outside in the park or anywhere else, maybe help your parents in some cleaning or anything else, and many other things. This is why I liked the third photo the most.
ReplyDeleteBoth these photos had a great meaning to them and I can see a story. Both have actually made me think differently. And both are beautiful . Even though some people would not agree with me. We all have different opinions.
My favourite is with the 2 boys They seem like poor children enjoying what they have. Even though some of us take for granted what we have. I can't say there poor children without anything because am not sure. They might not be as poor as most of us would think. But maybe they are. But I do feel that most of us have more then they do. They look like there having so much fun and that warms my heart to see this photo just the joy of there smile makes me feel amazing for some reason. Thats why this photo is my favourite.
I like the second one as well it Is very impacting. Tigers are very dangerous animals. The man seems so calm. Like they have these deep bond with each other that doesn't make each other scared. Also if you look closely at the tiger he/she is not wearing a chain. So at any second this very strong and powerful animal could of hurt or even killed these man. But the giant beast looks as calm as could be. They look so peaceful. And it's mind blowing to think the man is having a meal with a tiger.
You forgot the morals
DeleteIn the picture where there are thousands of people working it shows that we should not hate on what other people create and that we should care about how long it must of took them to create this item and what type of condition where they in when they created this item.
ReplyDeleteThe man feeding the tiger-
I chose this picture as my one picture because I think that it’s the most powerful one from all three because it tells that we should treat others the way we would want to be treated, and that we should care and respect every living thing or person on Earth no matter if it’s a Plant, Animal or a human being.
In the picture where the two boys are playing it shows that you don’t have to be alone to have fun or you don’t have to have toys to have fun all you really need is a friend no matter how poor you are or how rich you are.
i think that the second picture the tiger has a powerful meaning. it seems like the man is not very rich but he shares the small amount of food that he has with an animal that most people would be afraid of and run away. even though some would think that, he shared what he had with another creature that had nothing. another way to describe this is that we have to share with others even though they might be different. people who don't share can cause bad things to happen in the world. it could be the cause of war. it can cause the death of many people too. i think that one of the worst problem on earth is that people are too selfish. this picture can show us how we can change and become better people. we need to start giving to others who have nothing even though we might not have a lot. something i learned from this picture is that i am way to selfish all the time. i think that everyone can change because of this picture.
ReplyDeleteI like how you connected the response to the movie life if p
ReplyDelete1st Photo
ReplyDeleteIn this picture you can see a bunch of people making some sort of clothing. This picture is powerful because it shows how hard some people work to put some food for their children on the table. They might be working for 10 hours a day and they don't get paid as much.Looking at this picture we should appreciate the things we have in life and not complain about the small things in life.
2nd Photo
In this photo you can see a man giving a tiger some food to eat. This shows that People that don't have much in life give the most. This man probably doesn't have much and he's giving all of his food to a tiger instead of eating it for himself.this photo is very powerful. These tigers are very unfortunate,mother get trapped and killed by poachers and hunters and we have to realize that they have a life too and you can't just end it for the money.
3rd Photo
In this picture you can see 2 poor little boys playing together. In my opinion this is the most powerful picture out of the 3, it shows how much we take things for granted in life, the small things we complain about, like for example the food your parents prepare for dinner and you say that you don't want it, there are kids all over the world that don't have food to eat at night m and you should be appreciative for what you got.
Morals
1) There are people work hard and don't get paid much.
2) You'll never become poor by giving what you have.
3) don't take the things in life for granted.
The first photo is showing that it takes time and team work to be able to be successful together " A successful team is a group of many hands and one mind"-Bill Bethel.By when you work together you have contributed and helped others but when you work alone its not the same.
ReplyDeleteThe second photo is showing how helping someone by sharing you are able to have saved someone's life and the photo is also showing how humans and animals can have connections in life too .We should think about how the people in other countries don't have the same job opportunities as we do so we should thank the country we live in.This picture shows how sharing is caring by feeding the animal he has had helped the animal from less hunger.
The third photo shows how the 2 boys have fun by just creating their own games trying them out ,they don't really need technology to have fun also this photo is showing us that having fun can be in many different ways and have different types of creativity .
Morals: We don't really need technology to have fun
We should be happy with the country we live in
we have many different job opportunities than other countries have .
the first photo is showing that not everyone gets what they want handed to them in a silver platter. people from third world countries actually have to work for everything they get. those people might not have any other job opportunities, or are not qualified for a better-paying jobs.
ReplyDeleteThis picture really reminds me of a story i heard a few years ago. it was about a boy named Iqbal. Iqbal's parents were very poor and were forced to take a loan from an owner of a factory. in order to pay back the loan Iqbal was forced to work in a factory for a few cents an hour. Iqbal eventually escaped the factory and fought for his right to be free.
these people might be making those expensive Jordan shoes or true religion jeans, which we buy for over $200. while those people get payed the bare minimum. in my opinion we should be stopping this and be trying to help factory workers earn what they are entitled to and what they deserve as citizens of this world.
the second photo is showing a man sharing food with a tiger. out of all three photos i think that this one is the oddest. people sometimes share food with their pets but a tiger isn't usually classified as a pet.
ReplyDeletethis goes to show that people who have nothing are the kindest. people who have a lot usually aren't very generous. they don't know the pain of having nothing to eat...literally. people who starve or endure any other form of pain, know how it feels like to struggle. they are willing to share their food with an animal even though they themselves may be starving.
the moral of this photo is to not worry about only your self but everyone around you. if all you have is one apple and you and your dad are hungry, you don't hide the apple from him...you divide it in two equivalent pieces and SHARE.
Looking at these 3 pictures, you can derive that we should be greatful for the way we live. All of these people seem to be poor but they pay no attention to it.
ReplyDeleteIn the first pictute, I see of what seems like a thousand people all working in a factory. All of them look like children from a certain age. I mostly see people around the age of twelve or thirteen. These children seemed to be supervised by adults in about the second row of the picture. If you can infer their facial expression, they seem serious and not very happy to be there. I can see that when they exit their working area or look out the window I can tell that they would be thinking:"Why me? Why am I here and why do they get to be out there. I want to be like them too! =(". Of course they are reffering to the children outside, who are acually in school. They will mostly live their childhood lives in pain and agony. They will struggle in life if they do not get what we are reciveing right now.
The second picture is with the man and a tiger sharing food with one another. As we all may already know, tigers and humans, we don't really get along. However this picture it really shows the bond between human and animal. Also, it also shows that this person isn't really geting much to eat, and niether is the tiger. They look like they are sharing a bowl of noodles that the person bought. It shows that.we should all be greatfull that we have much to eat and a variety of things to eat. That man and the tiger may only have that very bowl of rice or noodles to eat. Other than eating everything that they need. They both respect eachother and look after one another.
The last picture focuses on two innocent little kids. By the looks of these kids, they look like they come from a very poor village or family. But, look at the smiles on their faces. These kids are having a potato sack race. They seem so happy doing that. Then look at us! We have a huge house, go to school, have many friends, eat well and have the money to buys the cloths on our very backs. These kids in the photos have barly got a place to live, not much to eat, have friends, and they are barly able to afford the cloths on their backs. Yet, we grive for more, and they are so happy for the little things they have.
Morals:-
Clothing factory:- We should all be able to get the education that we recive. On this planet we are all equal and we don't deserve to live like that.
The Man and The Tiger:- The moral here is to always respect others around you. Treat others the way you want to be treated and always be kind to each other.
The two boys:- Always appreciate what you have. Keep in mind that there are people that don't have as much as we do. Enjoy what you have, and don't sulk ablout what you don't have.
