Week 9 Make Up Work

First photo.

1. What do you notice first in this photograph? The people on the train tracks.

2. Are there people in this photograph, and, if so, what are they doing, and where are they located? Yes there are. They seem to be looking at the fire, and walking. They are on the train tracks.

3. How would you describe the train tracks in this photograph? When do you think the train tracks were last used? It looks as if the train tracks are inactive. They look pretty desolate so they probably haven't been used in a long time. They're rusted over also, showing their age.

4. The burning house is made of what material? Looks like wood to me.

5. What are the objects in the yard in front of the burning house? I can't really tell what they exactly are, they're boxes, or storage of some sort. There's also cinderblocks, pipes, and gravel.

6. At what time of day do you think this photograph was taken? It looks like sunset.

Write a short story (a paragraph or two) based on this photograph.

All was calm in the town until the sun went down. When the sun started going down, the air turned to fog, people all around gathered to the bleak area of an abandoned house near a set of abandoned train tracks. No one really went over there, only the kids that were up to no good. But that day was different then any other day, a lonely kid was in the house all alone. No one knew, no one cared, until the air began to fog. The firemen were called, the boy had fled, the towns people had flocked to the scene. The house was left, burning, abandoned, and more damaged then ever.
