Visual metaphors are harder to pick out because you have to interpret their meaning while written metaphors are told straight forward

I think that she would want us to feel fortunate about about what we have compared to all of the kids in Indonesia. We should be grateful.

# data[].attributes.body
The picture shows how their cultural background is. Also the difference how they live compares to how we live in some way.

# data[].attributes.body
The feet look like they have been through a lot and they are dirty. Their lifestyle is shown in their feet

Lange framed the picture of

these children by using the ground

as a background. She also zoomed

in to add more effect.

# data[].attributes.body
The image is a metaphor because it's showing how life in Indonesia is by the showing of the dirty bare feet.

# data[].attributes.body
They are going through hardships or they have different customs.

A metaphor is comparing something without using the words like or as and symbolism is something that represents something else. They are both comparing two or more things.

Se wanted to show the spirit of Indonesia and how we are all similar.

1) Symbolism is the use of symbols to represent ideas or qualities. A metaphor is a figure of speech in which a word or phrase is applied to an object or action to which it is not literally applicable.

# data[].attributes.body
The bare feet resemble the simple life in indonesia

# data[].attributes.body
A Metaphor is a figure of speech, and the visual metphor is a visual element that creates two different ideas

# data[].attributes.body
They can show what kind of conditions they may live in, if they wear shoes or are bare-foot. they can show economic status.

She showed the feat that the children have gone

through during the travels through indonisa

# data[].attributes.body
Lange wanted us to look back to simpler times, and to have us realize their artistic value.

# data[].attributes.body
Lange wanted us to see how the

people in Indonesia live and feel

bad that their living conditions

are so poor.

# data[].attributes.body
It's a metaphor because it relates the dirty and battered feet to Indonesia, which gives the viewer an idea of what it might be like to live their.

# data[].attributes.body
I think Lange included only her subjects feet because many different types of feet fascinated her because it shows life of the people.

# data[].attributes.body
It shows that the text matches perfectly up with the meaning behind the feet, visually

# data[].attributes.body
Where the photo takes place; where
the people in the picture live.

# data[].attributes.body
The feet look bruised, injured, and dirty. So it shows that they may not have the greatest of living conditions. If the feet looked cleaner or even had shoes on it would give a different idea of who they might be.

# data[].attributes.body
Symbolism is having an idea that stands for something while a metaphor is used to describe a certain object. Symbolically, it shows the customs of Indonesia as well as the poverty in some areas. Metaphorically, it describes (similarily) how hard it is in Indonesia.

# data[].attributes.body
they are in poverty.

# data[].attributes.body
It shows that children in indonesia live in poverty and they cant even afford shoes for their feet.

# data[].attributes.body
This image is a metaphor because Lange is using the picture of bare feet to symbolize life in Indonesia.

# data[].attributes.body
It makes it accurate because it show how someone lives their everyday life and that helps shape who they are.

# data[].attributes.body
Lange included only her feet to represent how they live.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that Lange would have wanted us to see that everyone was the same, but they have stories that can be shown throught their feet.

Written metaphors don't always show a feeling towards the subject. It is easier to see an emotion in a visual metaphor.

# data[].attributes.body
The people are from Indonesia and the feet represent the poverty and dirtiness

# data[].attributes.body
Written metaphors compare things

using only words. Words don't always

convey the same amount of feeling as

a photograph can.

# data[].attributes.body
they are both from Indonesia

# data[].attributes.body
She had polio when she was younger and it misshaped her foot, because of this she became aware of others feet and photographed them.

# data[].attributes.body
Considering that the title is Indonesia, and the image showing feet, the image is a metaphor that compares the feet to everyday life in Indonesia. It shows the custom of going barefoot in Indonesia.

# data[].attributes.body
Metaphor is basically it is a comparison to make a point or create an image.

Symbol is something that is itself and also stands for something else. In the literary sense, a symbol combines a literal and sensuous quality with an abstract or suggestive aspect.

# data[].attributes.body
She wanted the people to see the difference

between the types of feet. Showing how people live

according to their feet.

# data[].attributes.body
It had a dark back round with a pleasing pattern by pleasing patterns created by childrens feet and toes, which was also set at different angles by different degrees.

# data[].attributes.body
We think that Lange wanted the viewer to feel sympathy for the subjects

# data[].attributes.body
The childrens dirty bare feet in the dirt

show the hardships of the era

# data[].attributes.body
Inaccurate because if someone was poor they could still have nice feet giving off the impression of having money and vica veresa

# data[].attributes.body
The relationship between those two are that the feet are of people from Indonesia.

# data[].attributes.body
The image of feet is used to represent the life of people in Indonesia

# data[].attributes.body
A metaphor compares different varieties of things while this photo is comparing the strong, simple elements of feet.

# data[].attributes.body
Visual metaphor is when you suggest an analogy between two photos. A written metaphor is when you compare two different things that aren't alike.

# data[].attributes.body
A metaphor compares concrete to another concrete object.

Symbolism is when a concrete object is used to represent something abstract

# data[].attributes.body
Lange took a picture of her feet

# data[].attributes.body
Dirty or poor. -Can't afford shoes-

# data[].attributes.body
So there would be no contrast to their feet.

There would be nothing to take the attention away from their feet

# data[].attributes.body
I metaphor is a direct comparison,<br> while symbolism is abstract and more complex

# data[].attributes.body
Lange took this picture of children's feet during her travels in Indonesia in 1958. She was both documenting an aspect of life in Indonesia—the custom of going barefoot—and creating an abstract and even playful composition that incorporates the strong, simple elements of feet, lines in the ground and on one foot, and a leaf at the bottom of the picture. The feet are shown as viewed from above, set against a dark background. A pleasing pattern is created by the repeated shapes of the feet and toes, set at different angles and extending into the frame of the picture by different degrees.

All varieties of legs and feet had long fascinated Lange. Among her photographs are images of a woman's legs clothed in torn stockings, a businessman's feet stepping off a streetcar, and an Egyptian youth's legs straddling his burro. She photographed her own foot as well, which was misshapen by the polio attack she suffered in her youth. Lange's self-consciousness about her foot may well have given her an especially keen awareness of other people's feet and a desire to photograph them.

Lange seemed to very much enjoy her time in Indonesia, where she visited with royalty, watched performances of classical Javanese dance, swam in the cold mountain water of jungle pools, and collected local crafts. However, she never forgot that she was a privileged American outsider. When Lange traveled to Calcutta, India, she purposely chose not to document the extreme poverty she found there. Perhaps the numerous images of feet that Lange created while in Indonesia reflect a desire to avoid depicting the harsher aspects of Indonesian life.
