For Monday: Stanton, Humans of New York (last questions!)



Remember, Paper #1 is due next Friday! Our next two classes will give you some last-minute tips to write that paper. The questions below are designed to help you get 'inside' the paper, so you might use some of it in your final paper. 

Choose ONE image from the book, preferably one you haven't written about yet. Then answer Q1 and ONE other question beneath it: 

Q1: Describe the picture is enough detail that we could reasonably imagine what t looks like. Try to go beyond, "It's a picture of a guy wearing a suit." Tell us what he looks like, what kind of suit, the background, the colors, the time of day, etc. Imagine that your really needed to help someone find this picture in the book.

CHOOSE ONE OF THE FOLLOWING: 

Q2: If the picture has a caption, explain how the caption changes how we see the image, or what we see in the image. Make sure we understand the significance of the caption, especially if it's not immediately apparent. 

Q3: If your picture doesn't have a caption, or only has a very short one, add your own to the image. What do you think this picture should say about itself? How would you want other people to view this picture, and what words could you add to make sure we see that?

Q4: Discuss one small detail in the picture that most people probably won't notice, but that you think is actually important to the image. What does this add to the picture? Why should people notice it?
