Thursday: today’s lesson was on the 1994 Pulitzers Prize by Kevin Carter. But before that , we got a lecture by Mr. Chua on how stupid we were to wonder out of class without a teacher in class. So , after that 15 minutes of lecturing, we began our lesson. Mr. Chua had given us each a worksheet with the picture at the back and question at the front regarding on the picture.
That picture really touched me so much and it was sad to see that Kevin didn’t do anything about it. The picture shows a little boy crawling towards a food shelter while a vulture is standing right behind it waiting for the little boy to die so it can it him. Kevin just happened to walk past and was it and so he took a snap shot. After that he walked away without even helping the poor little boy. I feel really sad as to who would do such a thing by walking away but sadly it was Kevin Carter. There is so much to say about this picture. As the saying goes, a picture speaks a thousand words. I feel sad for the both the boy and Kevin Carter. After taking this picture and going back to New York, people ask Kevin weather did he do anything to help the boy. He told the media that he walked away. For then on, people kept asking questions and how he could change the life of that boy if he were to help him. As a result, Kevin Carter committed suicide due to depression.
