Images

In class we discussed the one media-generated image that comes to your mind when you think of the "one" that made an impact. For this post, you have to find the picture online and put it on your blog. With the picture, you must explain why it had such an impact on your lives. Please, again, remember this is an English class. Write a paragraph to explain the importance of the picture to you. This is due before school starts tomorrow.
