Analyzing an Image!

I have shown how to analyze texts, but in this entry I'll talk about Images and Pictures. Can we analyze them? Of course! To do so, we must go deep into the image. We can't just analyze what it shows, but the message that the image has hidden; that's what differentiates a Critical Thinker! To show this, I'll be analyzing the following image.



With a simple view, we see a man without his hands, and a child helping him to fasten his T-shirt. Also, both of them have black skin. But, as critical thinkers, we must go deeper. This image makes me imagine the child saying "We can do it". In my opinion, this image was made to motivate black people to solve their problems by themselves, because they can help each other and they can do things independently, without the help of anyone. Also, it deposits hope in the future generations of africans, because the child is helping the adult, not the other way round.
