Sacrafice is a virtue

In the image below my first thought was sympathy. I feel very sad when I see this photograph of a women and her baby on the streets asking for help. In the picture the women looks as if she is calling out for help. I also feel a sense of sacrifice. This women looks like she isn’t eating but, with what she has, she can provide the bare minimum food for her baby. This picture also makes me feel angry like, why are they on streets? Why hasn’t someone helped them? The women is wearing a hate with a blanket under it and a scared and helpless emotion on her face. The baby is bundled in layers of clothes with a beanie on and a bottle in his both. The lady is holding the baby like it is the last thing and only thing she has. These are just the physical features that come along with looking at this picture. But, I think so much more is said within in the picture than it could’ve been said in words. I feel like this picture kind of stands up for the homeless community  and brings to reality what is happening everyday around the world.

I think the photographer that captured this photo goes about this in a pathos type of way. He wants you to feel the pain in this photo. When analyzing this photo I think of who this photo was directed towards. I believe that this was taken to place awareness to the world that the homeless community does have some people and families who do really need help. In this situation I can be empathetic because I did have a close family friend who was living on the streets and now I gear my energy towards helping people and family through feeding the homeless the first Saturday of every month. So, this photo defiantly raises awareness for moms and baby’s who are living on the streets and crying for help. Analyzing  this picture, was an eye opener for myself because it shows that homeless people do have kids and that the government should help the helpless and needy. People that have children should not be on the streets and they should be priority over a person  who is alone and does not have to take care of someone else. This picture shows that people live different lives and not everyone has it easy. So sacrifice is a virtue is what the moral of this picture.
