Inequality (Samantha H.)

I am Samantha and I am in 7th grade. I like to hang out outside and play tennis. I took a photo of two people one who has two phones and the other is holding rocks in her hand. This is focussing on inequality and who some people don’t have access and can’t afford materials like phones, well others can. Also, the sun is shining on the girl with rocks symbolizing that even if u can’t afford phones or other materials u don’t lose your dignity.I have known people who have felt when couldn’t afford something it is embarrassed shameful. I am trying to communicate that if you can’t afford something it doesn't define who you are. Also, you shouldn’t be embarrassed. I wanted to make sure you could see everything without having a description, but also you could interrupt the picture to mean different things. I focussed on making the two people similar and not have a big difference. I did that because sometimes the smallest thing can make a big difference. I like that the photo is not to obvious when looking at it about what it has to do with, but you can still guess what it is about. Away to help people from feeling small and embarrassed is to help donate. Many people can’t affords essentials like coats. My family and I started a charity for foster kids in need. It is called Comfort Kids. We work on it whenever we can and hold events, so others can help too. It gives to foster kids in need when they are moving from house to house so they all the essential items. So far we have helped many kids in need and made their lives a little easier.
