I Miss Her

For our English reading I chose to talk about the "A Softer World" pictures. Some of these stories I found very odd and didn't understand. Then I decided that I was trying too hard and just needed to think about what I think it means, and not worry so much about what the author was trying to say. What was I getting out of it?

So I chose to talk about one called "I Miss Her".I found this one to be extremely sad. It seems that the boys sister is dead and he was dreaming that she was still alive. Or it could even be that the sister is far away and the boy doesn't ever get to see her. Either way, its still sad. One option is more devastating than the other, but either scenario is very sad to me.

I totally agree with your opinion about not understanding these photo essays. Like you I tried not thinking into them as hard, and just looking at the overall picture. However, even after that I was not able to understand some of them!

You did a great job analyzing this essay. There is no right or wrong answer but you do have to take cues from the artist to see what is going on. You did a good job of that here.
