In Lecture Exercise B

Description: A verbal account of WHAT is there
This is a picture depicts an African American young boy offering candy, Sweeties to a police officer who has a white bag over his head and pointing gun at him.

Analysis: A discussion of HOW things are presented with an emphasis on relationships
The items that were in the hands of the police officer and the boy is greatly contrasting, and there is an obvious height difference between the police officer and the boy, depicting how the police officer is pointing his gun directly at the boy’s head and taking aim to shoot.

Interpretation: A sense of the meaning, implication, or effect of the piece
This is a piece that was a reference to a real live event that happened, where a white police officer shot an African boy because he felt threatened by him, even though the boy was unarmed.

Judgement: Evaluating the successes and shortcomings of the piece
The piece presents a very strong about the current problem revolving around racially profiling innocent African American children and the resultant effect of racism on law enforcement and the judicial system.
The shortcoming is that due to the red, blue and white backdrop of the picture, the Sweeties candy that the African boy was holding is not as obvious, and hence the disparity between the objects that the police officer and the boy was holding is not as prominent.
