Picture This by Allie Neff

Well, here goes. I gave it my best shot!

Picture This

This picture shows a woman, a black woman at that. Her face is screaming with fear, yet depression is leaking out. Times are hard for women, both black and white. People, especially men, don’t understand a woman’s feelings. Women are physically and emotionally strong, perhaps more than men. This woman doesn’t only represent the feelings of all the women around the world, but also the world itself. She is an inspiration to all mankind.

The viewers can see this woman’s appearance, but what could she possibly be thinking? You can never guess by looking at her appearance; you just need to ponder on what her thoughts are. Maybe her face is actually filled with courage or determination. This picture is drawn ‘black and white’, but what does that represent? Is it the representation of the black and white people of the world, or fear itself? Yes, personal opinions are great, but be aware of how you use them. Without deep thought and depth, you are doing nothing but judging a book by its cover.
