What do you know about the person pictured on the left?
What do you know about the person pictured on the right?

Surely you don't really know too much about them considering you've probably never met or communicated with either of them. But what does the moment caught in each photograph tell you about these individuals?

The person on the left is wearing a mask. The person on the right is wearing heavy makeup and appears to have a colored liquid smudged on parts of her skin. Why have they "dressed up" this way?

What is each person doing?

How are they different from each other?
How are they similar?

the picture of the right is of a women with dark make up in and looks like she has blood and something red on her. she looks upset and it seems that something is going on around her because there are other people surrounding her and all looking towards her. the picture of the left is of mickey mouse and he looks like he is dressed up in something chinese like and by the background it seems he is at some kind of event. and he always seems happy

Mickey Mouse is dressed up. He seems happy and he's entertaining. He is also dressed up in chinese clothing. The women on the left seems to be hurt. She looks like she's in despair and in the midst of a riot.

The things that i know about the picture on the right is that the picture displays nothing but joy and youth. this picture also make you think of your past child hood at least to me it did. the reason being is the smile, his smile makes you think about when you didnt have anything to worry about.
the picture on the right on the other hand symbolizes the idea of growing up. dealing with the many complications of the world. and although he is wearing a mask his mask still represents something.

Mickey represent's happiness. He also represent's being young again.

The woman in the pictue represents hard-ship. He seems shes trying so hard to achieve a goal but keeps getting brung down. She also seems hurt. Almost like an struggle.

From the left, I can tell that Mickey Mouse is not in normal attire, as though he is supposed to be portrayed in a different light. On the right, the lady does not appear to be in a normal state of mind, so they are the same in that something is amiss, out of the norm. Although they seem like very different from each other they are more similiar than it seems as they can both be related, even if they are related on opposite ends of the spectrum. For example, they appear to represent different emotions, Mickey representing happiness and the woman representing sadness or seriousness. These emotions are on opposite sides of the spectrum, but are still emotions nonetheless and therefore can be related.

Mickey Mouse is in a more festive area. Based on the image, it was probably during a traditional occasion. The woman seems to be surrounded by an area that was just terrorized. The woman could also be in an area of remembrance/mourning, which could also be at a festive time. Both pictures seem to have something culturally related.

The two are similar in a way because they both seem to be about to participate in a cultural event. They are different because one mood seems to be happy and the other seems like a quiet ceremony.

i thought its Mickey Mouse, he is very funny character everyone loves him. he is cute happy, has on red, talkin or standing in front an audicne.
She looks sad, looks like she has paint or something on her, looks like people are rushing her off.

one is happy, famous and rich
and the other is sad, confused, and tryin to say how she feels.

they are hiding their ideniteds
-hiding who they really are
-prendting to be someone else

looking at something, standing for something... trying to speak on something.

one looks happier, the other looks sad and rushed away!

the both got red on, they are in front of people.

The person on the left looks like there happy. The mouse posture is good and his hand movements seem to me like its happy. The person on the right looks like hell. She obviously is going through something difficult because her posture and her facial expressions.
The person on the right is "dressed up" in the way to create an illusion of a happy thought and maybe royalty. The person on the left is probably dressed that way to show some type of struggle that her people have suffered.
They are different from each other because they both portray different themes or attitudes. On the right its all about being happy and cheerful and making wishes come true. On the left its seems to be all about sadness.
When I use my five sense I see an ear that is old and has a tiny hole. When i feel it I imagine that it will be soft and sticky. I would not hear anything because the ear would be deaf. I think it would smell like an old lady or man. It would probably taste like cauliflower. I would hear the breaking of cauliflower. Crunch Crunch Crunch.
