For Monday: Stanton, Humans of New York



Answer TWO of the following questions by reading through the book and finding the pictures that help you answer them! 

Q1: Find one picture that you feel represents who you are right now. It doesn't have to look like you or even be the same sex/age as you, but how do they somehow embody your own identity at this moment in time? It could be their style, clothing, attitude, or what they're communicating in the caption.

Q2: Find one picture that you feel represents who you most hope to be 10-15 years from now. Again, it can be a different age/sex than you, but what about them seems to represent an identity you hope to attain or realize in the future. Why is this? How might this person underline the connotation of "success" or "happiness" or even "being an adult" for you? 

Q3: A lot of these photos are about people's personal struggles, even if they don't explicitly say what these are. What struggles seem to be the biggest ones for the poeple in the book? Do you feel that most people can relate to this, or is it unique to a certain age or group? 

Q4: Discuss a photo where you think, "that could only happen in New York"! What makes this photo so unique to that city/environment? Why wouldn't we see this here or in our hometown? Why might New York City create the kindn of environment that would showcase the people or situations in this photo? 

BONUS: Who can find the one person who appears in two different photos in this book? As far as I can tell, there's only one. :)
