Study the images below. CHOOSE ONE and offer a contextualized close reading, using all your skills including literary criticism (293-299) -AND- the guide on page 97 of your textbook. My suggestion is to keep in mind the date of publication and what might have led the photographer to take a photo like this… (what was happening in the world?).

Your analysis should include a variety of key points and observations that go beyond surface level meaning, and should be no less than 100-150 words.

Each post will be ran through a plagiarism/AI checker–be careful! Choice #1: Annette Kellerman promotes women’s right to wear fitted bathing suits in 1907. She was later arrested for indecency. Choice #2: The 19th century graves of a Catholic woman and her Protestant husband deny this Dutch cemetery the power of separating them.
