- I chose this photo because it's really sad how this happened to innocent lives.
- My reactions will have to be sad and kind of mad how people just kind of gave up on helping them .
- Maybe this means a kid who is remembering the old times before the earthquake happened. Or his parents died in the spot and he is remembering them.
- The photographer might have wanted us to feel sad & none happiness , Because a lot of kids lost their houses & education because of mother nature !!
