This is a picture of a 14 year old, pregnant, girl who lives and sleeps in the house that’s pictured. Until her later stages of pregnancy, she slept on the ground. The room has the basic necessity needed, but it is definitely not the quality that most Americans are used to. Since the caption didn’t describe much about her situation, we are inferring that she may have been raped. This picture speaks to us greatly because it’s about a girl as young as us that has a life so different. If other people were to see this picture, they may not take so many things for granted and hopefully change their perspective on life.

When I first saw the picture I figured that maybe she was just part of a culture where children her age having children is considered acceptable.
ReplyDeleteBut now that I've read your theory I think you could most definitely be correct, good job.
I really like the way you describe her in the beginning of your paragraph, that makes me get a feel that you really know what your talking about. I also like the way you put a lot of thought into your writing. Yayy good job (:
ReplyDeletewhen i first saw this photo i also thought she could of been raped. another theory could be that in her culture having kids at a young age would be acceptable.
