cartoon


What is the event or issue that inspired the picture?
               I picked this picture because my auntie and uncle have this picture hanging in there house and when we go over there I always see it.


Who is the targeted audience?
                The targeted audience is anyone who is interested in older pictures and pictures of people.

What is the message?
                The message of this picture is showing the men taking a break way up high over the city, and showing how brave they were to be up that high. None of them look scared, they look pretty comfortable.
What do you think the photographer’s opinion is about the topic?
                My opinion about this picture is showing how brave these men were. They new that their job could be risky, but they dont show any sign of being scared in the picture at all, i think thats what the photographer was trying to show, that they just acted like they were working on the ground.  

Are any real-life personalities depicted?
                All the personalities in this picture are real-life. All the men are sitting looking at the city underneath them, talking, eating and one guy even has a flask in his hand.

What characteristics of society are reflected?
                The characteristics of society in this picture is that it is actually something that happened, and was all captured in a single picture.

What other techniques have been used?
                Techniques used in this picture is so many people have seen it and its not in color, or anything written on it, but so many people have it or can talk about it. Lots of people know of this picture, if asked about it people would know what you were talking about. Its a fmouse building and anyone who has been to New York, has probably either been passed it or walked in it.

Does this picture make you laugh, smile, groan, or think?
                This picture makes me think, I think about how high up they were. What they were thinking. If anyone was scared to be building a building that high from the ground. And mostly I think about how they look like they are happy and enjoying their life.

To find true love or for the fame?

Emily Maynard is she doing The Bachelorette to find true love or for the fame? She was the winner of Season 15 with Brad Womack. Since then they have both broken up and now she will be on season 8  of The Bacelorette. Even though her season has already started filming, there is a lot of talk about if it is whats good for her and her daughter Ricki (6years old), or for the money. Seeing as how she has already cashed in her $250,000 paycheck.                 

               
                                              

                                                                     Brad and Emily after winning the Bachelor the first time  
                                                                     she was on.


On the first season she was on, the whole world found out that her boyfriend Ricky Hendrick was a NASCAR driver and was killed in an unexpected plane crash, five days later Emily found out she was pregnant with Ricki at the age of 19. At that time that's when Emily won every ones hearts. So it wouldn't be no surprise that when Ricky's parents found out that their son's girlfriend, mother of their grandchild signed up the first time they were mortified, let alone when she decided that she was going to do her own season. Lots of Emily's friends and family feel as though this is not the best choice to raise a daughter, just throe little Ricki out in the spotlight. But it doesn't seem to click in Emily's head about their feelings and her daughters, all she can see is the fat paychecks, a massive ring, and to live like a princess for several weeks, she is willing to disappointed the ones that care about her.

 Before she had even met her potential Bachelors, she had already walked into the Neil Lane store and asked to see "the high-priced engagement rings." This event to look at rings happened before she even started filming for the show. It is to be said that no Bachelorette has ever done gone to pick out her own ring before. 
  It is just one of the many things that Emily has done, and shows how it seems like she is only doing the show for all the selfish reasons.
