1. In Kevin Carter's photo of the starving child it portrays the effects of starvation have of a young child. My initial reaction to this picture was how bad the starvation is, this kid is lying face down in the dirt, why hasn't he been helped and why is he just taking a picture of this poor child instead of feeding him. Another would be about the vulture that is staring down the child, like he knows that the child is dying and itself (the vulture) is starving too. Some words that come to my mind right away are things like; sad, strange, anger, and so on and so forth.
2. This image portrays a young African child lying face down in dead, dry grass, and dirt. It seems like the child may be consuming the dirt because of the fact that he is so hungry. Meanwhile staring down (and also maybe starving) the kid is a vulture. It's a dying hungry little boy face down eating dead grass being sized up by a vulture.
3. There is a definite message in the photo. The message is look what is going on in third world countries that we aren't doing anything about. There is a child dying, and there is a vulture waiting for this child to die so that it can get it's own meal, and what are we doing about it? We apparently aren't doing enough with these send 15 cents to a child in need. I think that it needs to be a little more than that.
4. My view has changed but only a little, how does nobody know what happened to the boy? The child was 1 kilometer away and the photographer didn't do anything to help him, he just left. It shows that he only cared about himself. I hope that the child did receive medical attention, and I can only hope that he survived.
