Analyze an image

POSTED AT 07:03 PM

 Analyzing an Image
When you analyze something you break the subject down into various parts and you explain them. The goal is to come to a deeper understanding of the subject.  Practice your analyzing skills with the image from The New Yorker magazine I have linked below.  Use the cognitive strategies and the responses of your peers to come to try to understand what it means. 
1) Study the image at the following link:http://archives.newyorker.com/?i=2009-09-07
2) Write a response to the image.  You may use the following cognitive strategies to respond:

    The message might be that you will understand more things in life by reading while you're still young.

    I think that the picture in the new yorker magazine means that elderly people are having a hard time adapt to the modern world.For example you see allot of old people having a hard time working with the computers

    I think that the image shown is trying to say that you need to look closer at things to understand them better.

    I think the image represents what people of higher class (rich people)do for recreation (smoking).

    What I found interesting about this image was what lay at each person's feet and what it tells about them. For example, one frazzled looking man is hurredly writing things down and on the ground is a pot of ink. This shows that he is not ready for the modern world. Another man sits near an apple. Maybe he will give it to the teacher. This would mean that the older generation has respect for the younger generation's smarts.

    I can relate to the image because adults are always wondering what the text language stuff means...
