before I listened to other peoples thoughts I was thinking of things like: Africa, Third-world-country, poverty, and maybe sadness(my sadness for them)
ReplyDeletewhen i look at this picture, i see a place in africa. she could be at the market. she could be trading to get food. the clothes tell me she is from a different culture.
ReplyDeletein the beginning it seems like their from africa and selling food.
ReplyDeleteThe people all look poor, and it’s depressing. They have like all their food on the ground… gross! People are just like chilling out on the ground… Looks uncomfortable, but I guess that’s how it has to be because you can definitely tell something happened and now all these people have nothing, or it’s a nation in poverty.
ReplyDeleteWhen I look at this picture I see and African woman at the market wearing a head dress made of cloth and people living in poverty.
ReplyDeleteI see an African lady with a van and other people around with no shoes on and she looks poor and the people around her look poor also and it looks hot outside and sweaty.
ReplyDeleteBofore listening to other peoples thoughts i thought of this third world country and all the stuggles that the people go through. i felt bad for this woman because she looked like she had no where to call home. Also, she looked very poor.
ReplyDeleteWhen I saw this photo it just made me think of people in Africa having a picnic with lots of fruit in the heat. Then, i also thought that it might be like what we'd call a farmer's market, where they are trading goods and food.
ReplyDeletePeople in Africa buying bananas with a van. Colorful clothes and no shoes.
ReplyDeleteA woman in Africa, Poor, Van is old and is a 3rd world country.
ReplyDeleteWhat comes to my mind when I look at this picture is the people in it and how they are dress let me know that they are from a different culture. And in it the women is at a market either getting food or selling it.
ReplyDeleteI see an African woman walking across the ground to some African children. And she is wearing some clothing that I don’t normally see.
ReplyDeleteI think it is a lady waiting to buy food from a market. I think that the city she is in is dirty and they don't have a lot of money, because the woman does not have shoes on, but they have colorful clothes. It looks like they brought all of the food from a big truck and people are having like a mini food market, to make a profit.
ReplyDeletebefore i listened i thought it was in africa and it was about how the people made through with their lives.
ReplyDeleteI think that this is a lady in a poor and dirty city and she is ready to buy food from someone. It looks like she is about to buy some bananas.
ReplyDeletebefore: the image says to me this is a women in a very culturaly poverty stricken country, and she is out trying to by food.
ReplyDeleteafter: i think some people made some very ridicules comments, i dont like voicethread because it allows people to do stupid things like commenting about killing an orange, the comments are very entertainign but for learning purposes you shouldnt look at the comments
I think that this is a woman in Africa or in a third world country. She seems like she lives in poverty. Maybe she couldn’t even afford to buy shoes because she isn’t wearing any. It appears that she is about to buy some food, like bananas or other fruit. I feel bad for the people in these countries because it is a struggle for them to even get food, clothes, or shelter to provide to their familes.
ReplyDeleteWhen you look at a picture, especially with images like this,you immediately jump to conclusions and make predictions but there may be more to it then meets the eye. Looking at this, you think about what you see, which is a women at Africa at a fruit marker. But after using voicethread, I was able to see what other people saw and open to their interpretation.
ReplyDeletewhen i look at this picture i see a African lady at the market wearing some weird hat thingy and a African dress, and they look like they dont have alot of money.
ReplyDeleteInteresting so many of you mentioned you thought it was a sad picture and you saw poverty. My church has a “sister” church in Tanzania, Africa. When we get visitors from Tanzania they are amazed at the modern conveniences such as nice cars, running water, a washing machine, supermarket, etc. But feel sorry for us because we seem “stressed out”. In Africa, Sunday services people will bring things to auction off for the offering. After church they hold an auction of things they have such as chickens, grain, and/or things they have made. The money collected goes to the church. Last year they felt sorry for a congregation in downtown Toledo and raised $400.00 from their meager offerings.
