Vulture and The Kid

Vulture and The Kid

Terry:

The picture is extremely disturbing to see.
In our daily lives, we are so fortunate to be able to live in modern luxury and comfort. We gradually take this for granted. The thought of us being reduced to the state of that young boy does not cross our minds. The picture screams a clear truth to our arrogant and self-prideful society today. Closer research shows that the photographer, who won an award for this photo, committed suicide a few weeks later due to depression. The dilapidated young boy's death is being waited upon by a vulture, so that it could feed on his carcass. Let us be thankful for what we have, and do all we can to help others who need us but just do not have the ability to seek us. 

Xin Yi:

This picture actually shows the reality that is happening in different parts of the world. Compared to the starving child who is about to meet his death, we are really lucky. We always fail to know how privilege we are in comparison to the young little boy. However, we do not treasure the amount of luxury we have and sometimes, even complain about it. We do not realise how lucky we are, being able to have a roof above our heads and 3 meals everyday. The people who are in similar conditions as this little boy here might not even have a meal to consume. This picture is actually sending a message to everyone, to be grateful of what we have and if possible, share what we have to those who are in need.

Gerald Teo: 

Poverty. I felt that it is the reason why the child is in this predicament. The child does not have financial support to feed himself, hence, he is malnourished and dies. I felt that the message it is trying to get across is that we must try our best to share the financial burden with the underprivileged families in other countries so that they can lead a comfortable life.

Grace: 

The kid is starving and have no food to eat. We can see the bones of the ribcage already and it is really scary. It is very sad to see that the child do not have strength to even stand up. He is so hungry until he could move or anything and the vulture beside it is as if waiting for the child to die, so it can eat it's flesh. How ironic is it for the vulture to have food while the the child, doesn't have. At the same time, the child is already so skinny, will there possibly be flesh in the child? I hope the government could do something to help the child or at least take actions to prevent this from happening to other people in the country.
