Some people need to take a step back, realize not everything in
about looks. This is real life, people struggle every day to find water. While some
people are literally living on the streets others are spending $500 on a pair
of shoes. I get so disgusted because much like the people in this picture they don’t
realize the struggle other people have, that the world doesn’t revolve around
them. The three girls in this picture describe America’s society perfectly,
people only care about money. You can do anything you want if you have the
money, but the people that don’t have money or “connections” are treated like
animals. All I’m trying to get across is people need to learn that there are real
life problems going on, like war, starvation, homelessness. Not just problems
like if your purse matched your jacket. No one realizes that these people need
help and the people who are struggling to support themselves help support other
that need it more than wealthy people do. I guess what I’m trying to get across
is that no poem, or piece of writing can explain what this picture says about America.
You are right--we are a country of excess and this photo clearly illuminates the disparity to be found among our people.
