Extra Credit Assignment
I really cannot describe how bad I felt after I saw this image. I can't imagine that animals may cry for losing a member of a family just the same as we do. Millions of people cried after seeing this photo in America, Europe, Australia, and India. The photographer sold these pictures for a nominal fee to a newspaper in France. All copies of that edition were sold out on the day this picture was published. Many people think animals don't have brains or feelings? You have just witnessed Love and Sorrow felt by God's creatures. God knows when a sparrow falls and how much the Creator loves us. Do not worry, the Creator knows what you need. Seek first balance and peace and all these things will be given to you as well. Do not worry about tomorrow.

Writing Assignment #1
This picture is amazing! I like how accurately the
drawn part of the image was fit with the photo and how precisely was the photo
shot with taking care of fitting the drawing correctly with the photo. This
fantastic picture, if well said, drew my attention from the first glimpse. Maybe doing so is popular and
usual and not a new thing to do, but with this picture I feel that it’s
completely new to me. It gave me the feel that it was photoshoped, but after
staring in it for a while, I think it’s not. This image speaks directly to me
because I’m in love with Drawing and Photography at the same time. I love to
take photos, and then draw what I shot. It gives a great combination between
Photography and Drawing, which makes it an incredible piece of art. The funny
part is that I haven’t tried this before, so I think this photo gave me enough
motivation to do so.
