4. Interpret the photograph. What is the meaning of this image?

The photo is from the series of terrible events in Japan. They recently suffered through and earthquake, tsunami. aftershocks, and radiation. And the woman sitting on the curb side crying looks like she lost practically everything. She is all alone with no one. That place could have been where her house was and all she could do is look at the destructin left behind and cry.

5. How does this image use the Rules of Composition?

Rule of Thirds: The road at the bottom of the image makes a horizon line. The junk toward the left of the woman is in a money spot.

Simlicity: The junk does not really make the background clear and uncomplicated. And n the image I suppose the woman crying is to be the point od intrest, but she does not stand out. She almost blends in with the rest if the photograph.

Actual and Implied Lines: The road, and the shambled thing in the background make many implied and actual vertical, diagonal, and horizontal lines.
