Before we went to the gallery, I image that gallery is a big place with many interest pictures. When we went into the gallery, I was disappointed, because the gallery is small and only like 20 photos. All photos look old and with no special effect. I started feeling boring. However, after explanation, I gradually became interested in those pictures. At first the image is referred to the individual’s identification; identify our identity in our society. Everyone in the society have their own identification, and belongs to a group.
After identification photos, there is something about certain people or events photos. One of the most interesting photo is that a black girl in the picture. The picture is a child soldier in Africa, branded with RUF on her chest. After knowing the background story of this picture, and make me started think about a very familiar movie, bloody diamond. I saw this movie last year in high school, it is about some black criminal leaders arrested or killed some people in villages for them to dig diamonds. Children became their slaves and trained to kill. When I saw this movie, I didn’t really think about it. But while visiting the gallery, it brings back my memory and makes me think about their circumstances. They are misfortune to get into wrong group, but that also encourage me a lot. Because we have opportunity to gain a better life and we have a better group.
