Content / CD / Summary (Say? Plot? Setting / Situation? Key lines / Phrases, Scenes, etc? )

This photo shows how the earth looks from a the perspective of someone on the moon. As the earth was
rising, Anders took the picture to capture the natural beauty of earth from a different angle. The picture
shows the small earth rising up over the moon.

Content / CM / Meaning? / Theme(s)?

The theme of this picture is perspective. From this specific perspective, the earth seems so small. When we
think of our earth we imagine a giant place filled with life. However, we fail to realize that from a different
perspective earth is seen as a small star in the Milky Way galaxy. The picture reminds us that there is always
a different perspective people can see through.

Form (Diction? Construction Terms? Symbolism?) This section MUST be filled out for poems taken from the AP Poetry

The photo was taken by astronaut William Anders in 1968 during the Apollo 8 mission. The picture shows
some aspects of the moon, and how much bigger the moon seems in comparison to the earth.

Commentary: Why like? Poetic Traits? Relevance / Connections / Allusions (Lit, Bib, Myth, Histor, Other) / Relevance
to personal experience, 20Qs? etc.)?

I think this photo is poetic because it captures the natural beauty of our earth. However, this photo also
reminds us how small we are compared to the rest of the universe. Therefore, we should cherish the time we
have and spread positivity. We should realize we are simply a spec in our universe and we have make use of
every minute we have.
