A picture can tell a story without actually saying anything, and when I look at the picture I chose to write my visual analysis on, so many memories and emotions come to mind.

It is heartbroken to look at a picture of a little boy locked up in a room with brick walls, a hard bed with a thin mattress on top, and a window on top of the wall or at least that’s how it appears the way the light is entering the room.
