i beleive that this picture is focusing streight on the childs hair especialy due to the size of the hair i beleive that she is looking streight across , looking at something, i am inspired by this because it shows the person in one whole image and does not depict on another image.

On the way to Ballet…
Hello, my name is Penelope . I was on my
way to ballet when I couldn’t find Maw Maw,
my tutu or my dancing shoes. Then I burst into
tears. “I want my Maw Maw!” I hollered and hollered. Right when I was about to start again
I heard the toilet flush and Maw Maw ran out
with the plunger.
Maw Maw called me over and asked what
was wrong .I told her everything. Then Maw Maw
said “Well that takes care of Maw Maw, now we
just have to find tutu and dancing shoes.” ”Ok”
I sobbed.
We walked into the wash room and I looked in the dryer and saw my tutu.Oh no! I was late for ballet
But when we got in the car I found my dancing shoes in the car!!!!!!!!!

This picture is in a dark shadow with a young girl (probably 4 or 5 years of age,). The girl is wearing a white spegetti strap dress with a pink, wrap around bow. Her long, brown hair is in kind of messy twist bun
