In this image, there are random people sleeping in sleeping bags outdoors somewhere. This image makes me feel different. It's like i feel bad for them, but then again they mught be having a good ol' time? This image either represents poverty, or it could represent family and friendship.

In this image, there are people laying around in an insignificant order near what seems to be a campside on a cliff of a mountain. There looks like there's civilization beyond where the people are sleeping. Maybe they're dead? Actually now that I look at it, it seems as if those people weren't even really there. It seeems as if they were painted or cropped in. There's a child at the far end of the cliff and so that may represent that these people are a part of some sort of group like native americans.

The image makes me feel restless and afraid. I'm afraid that the kid is going to fall of the cliff and that he's on his own because he seems to be the only one 'awake'. Being alone is never fun or easy. Restless because what's the kid going to do? Those people look really uncomfortable.

I think this image represents individuality.

I just see random people scattered and sprawled out in sleeping bags in the middle of nowhere. it would be kind of cool to do something like that. but they're probably not intending to do that. they probably are homeless, lost they're shelter, food, possessions, so they sleep out in the middle of nowhere. sounds fun. i think this represents family, friendship, partying, and most likely camping.

The image intrigues me. It makes me wonder why they're lying on the ground, why they'd want to lie on the ground.
