Biofuels image analisis






• What do you notice first about this image and why?
In this image what I first noticed is that we must act, the Earth is going to die faster than we expect and this images simbolizes that. I also noticed that the image is from the World Wildlife Foundation (WWF), an this is also important to analize the picture as it gives you a guide on what is the message of the picture and what is it going to be appealed in it.

• What emotions are present?
Maybe desolation, as the Earth is being affected by all humans and nothing is changing, it is getting worse every different day.

• What is the situation? What is happening?
A native forest with the form of two lungs is loosing trees, slowly umans are cutting those trees and when all the trees dissapear the Earth will die along with the humanity.

• What is the setting (place and time)?
A native forest in the Earth, with the form of lungs, the day is cloudy, maybe it can be on winter, and the setting simbolizes perfectly what is being tried to explain.

• Does the picture contain any repetition, framing, or balancing (colours signaling something in particular)?
The setting is a great example, as it is on a cloudy day, and the gray may simbolize death, death for the planet and life.

• What message or theme does the picture seem to convey? What aspects of the picture make you think this? Is it supposed to speak for or against an issue?
In my opinion, this picture is trying to tell the viewers that the Earth is dying and the humans must do something in order to revert this situation. What made me think this is that there is a forest in form of human lungs, and there is a part of the forest that is dry or has no trees, and trees are a key part of human respiratory system. It is supposed to speak for actions in favour of the Earth, in terms of Global Warming issues, there must be something to do to revert the curent situation. But, it also appeals against an issue, and this issue is the actions made by humans that made the Earth suffer this, and it is getting worse every day that goes by.

Nature vs Nurture activity



I’m in favor of any means that allows a woman to have children, and not just for those who are too late to conceive naturally. There are lots of young women who can't have a baby and perhaps for them it's even harder..SOURCE: DEUTSCHE WELLE 2012-11-02 14:45:00

They are in favour of getting babies by any mean apart from the natural way, as the quote says, the photo is trying to show a family that is getting new members and growing up.
