Primary sources-- child abuse pic


In this picture, you can see a young girl sitting on the floor with the shadow of an open hand on the wall above. From the looks of the position she is in, she seems to be in fear and hiding from something (probably the person whose hand is making a shadow. The innocence of the young girl brings up the question, why does she look scared? The ad is about child abuse, but from the picture, it can be tricky to tell. If you already know that an open hand signifies some sort of way to abuse a child, than it is easy to tell. This ad makes you feel for the young girl, even if you don’t know what the situation is.
