Analyzing an image


I. Observation
What do you see?
A hand with all its muscles contracted, pointing to the top of a fence filled with spikes. at the other side, there are trees and a house.

II. Inferences
Based on the observations make three inferences.
The genre of the person is uknown intentionally. Maybe the photographer wanted to express that all the people in between those fences were trapped, and they were children, women and men, so this hand represents them all.
At the other side of the fence there's freedom, represented by the trees.
The owner of the hand is desesperated for going out, shown on the contraction of its muscles.

III. Questions
1.- What questions does the image rise in your mind?
2.- Describe the mood.
3.- What information do you already know about the Holocaust?

1. Why cant he/she get out? Why does he/she want to get out? How many more people are trapped with him/her?
2. Sadness and desesperation, desesperation for going out of whenever he/she is in.
3. Poor, but I could say that that hand is owned by a jew trapped in a concentration camp.
