The video along with the pictures is very sad and emotional . The way the song and pictures were was terrifying . The one of Martin Luther King is a picture worth a thousand words also the nine eleven one is very sad and rememberable. Seeing the one with people on the street being dead was scary . The boat in the ocean,river or whatvever it reminded me of the titanic and when it had sank . The movie and hearing about it was like that could happen any time or any place.

I think that it is true because when people look at a pictuers they think differnt things. Every one else thinks something else. So with all those people thinking of different words to describe the picture there are alot of words.

Some other things i think that the phrase is true is because pictures can explain differnt stuff. So other people can see it another way. So that is way the phrase is true in two ways.

I do believe that a picture is worth a thousand words, because every time you look at a picture thousands of word are floating around in your mind.

Every picture has a story behind it, so every person can make it there own. So to others pictures can be an adventure or a very emotional journey.

I think that a picture is worth a thousand words. one way is that there could have been a thousand words to say after looking at it. for example, a picture of a couple of kids playing in the snow could have people saying words lke fun or enjoyable just by looking at it.

Another way a picture is worth a thousand words is that there could have been words spoken to make whatever is in that picture happen. for example, a picture of two people huging. they could have been huging because one said they had a bad day, or maybe one person said something that made the other thank them by huging them.

either way, i do think that a picture is worth a thousand words.

The reason that you can say a picture is worth a thounsand words is because if you look a picture of Mc Cain the way that he was looking in that picture at Obama you don't need him to say anything because his facial expressions said it all.

Alexis E. 4th hour I think that a "picture means more than words" I think this means that you can tell more from a picture. If you see a picture you will have more thoughts on the subject by actually being able to see it. You cant just hear something and think you know alot about it you have to see it. When you see something its like you can actually imagine being in the position that these people are in. Seing people dead on the ground and hurt makes you think more about the subject thats because you can see it with your own eyes.

I think the phrase, " A Picture is worth a thousand words" means that there is more to the picture than meets the eye. Instead of looking at the obvious picture, you can comprehened more of its feeling, personality, and the theme behind it.

If you were looking at a picture of a person of an animal, you can see the feeling in thier face. The expression of someones face can tell if they are nice, tired, or mean. You can even tell what kind of family thier from or if they are wealthy or poor. So i think the saying is true, beacuse you can learn more about a picture if you look closer and comprehend it and really understand it.

I think a picture can be worth a thousand words. Any picture that either has a history, emotion or even both speaks for itself.

For example, you can tell you friends how you met your favorite actor or singer a million times but that doesn't mean they will believe you. If you had a picture with that person with you in the picture you can tell it really happend.

Also, if you see a sad picture of war or someone in pain, what do you think? You think sad thoughts, you wish the best for that person.

Lastly, say you looking through a box topped with pictures and out of all of those you see a picture with your best friend. Soon you remember just how that day went or how much fun you had then.

the pictures could have a thousend words because people might have differnt thoughts of it.and it also means that people might cry and get all soft a bout it.it is also makes me very proud of what we did an glad that we did it.

When it say a picture have a thousand words is that when you look at picture they are explaning it self. The picture dont need words if you understand with the picture is talking about. Just one picture can mean a lot to people and they dont need words to explain the picture.

Like if a picture that playing in the NBA or NFL you can tell by the reaction ofthe person face in the picture that they won or lost. If a picture show a person crying or happy you can tell if something happen without words being said.

I think that the phrase, "A picture is worth a thousand words" means that just by looking at a picture you would know it. It would be like reading a story or a centence. Because you can see everything that happened and means on it.

I think it's true. Because by looking at one simple picture you know already what its about. That little picture can teach you something you have never known or show you something very important. Just by looking at it. A picture is also memories. Memories that cant be eraised... Only if you burn them. But by looking at that picture it tells you your memorie you had. Meaby it was that one day. But it's like reading alot. But insted you are looking at something that shows you more than a thousand words.

I think that "A Picture is Worth a thousand Words" mean that a picture can tell stories about things in the past and present.

I do think it is true because a picture is not only colorful things that show faces, but it also shows how you can change things and tell you how things can change from the past.

What I think about the frase 'A PICTURE IS WORTH A THOUSAND WORDS'.Is that it is true what It says.One reason that I think that It Is true Is If the picture reminded you about someone or something you cared about.Another reason Is worth a thousand words Is If you describe a picture that you have about someone that is no longer with you and you cared about them and you want to describe him or she with a thousand words. I could describe someone that Is no longer with me with a thousand words that person was very important to me.

The vido and picturas are all worth a thousand words .But you whant to know what it means to me.
I think it meas that every pictura
makes people make and feel thier own way for exsimple if you thought that droping bomes is bad than you do not like the pictur.It also means that you can say enything about the pictuur.And it can mean that a thousand wrods can not describe what it is. Thats what I think a pictur has a thousand words means.

Brennen M. 7th Hour I think the phrase a picture is worth a thousand words means just that, because you can't only use one word to decribe all we've been through and all that has happened, and whoever made this saying up had a lot in mind because not many other things tell a story as well as a picture. I do think this saying is true, because there's no ONE word to describe pictures...

i think that a picture is worth a thousand words is a truthful statement. In the video there were many pictures that made me think about what they went through. How they helped and what they accomplished.

How we know about something are from pictures. If you see a picture and you see some one thats sad and depressed. What i would think is why is she sad. there are eny examples to show how pictures are worth a thousand words.

The statement of "A picture is worth a thousand words" means that you can learn a lot about pictures and you can feel thier thoughts and what happened. You can say a thousand things about a picture and you can hear and see and feel what they felt.

I do think this statement is true because Everytime I look at a picture I don't just see one thing i see everything I see over the picture and I see the minor details and all the theme and stuff there is. I also think that statement is true because everything that happenes in pictures can make you feel different about yourself. It can put different thoughts in your head and it can make you become a different person just by seeing a picture and knowing what's really happening in that picture.

I believe that the saying "a picture is worth a thousand words." means that you can tell what the picture means by just looking at it.

Its better to look at the picture then to ask somebody what it means because there interpretation may be different from yours.

my idea on why pictures mean more than 100 words is because that sometimes a picture may not mean alot but it means more in words because you can describe a picture in a better way by using words

also another reason it is important is because you cant just sit there and show people a picture without them knowing what it is and then that means you have to use your words and explain it to them

The statement that mean a picture is a thousand words means a picture can tell a lot of things that happened. For example a picture like the soldiers putting the american flag down on the land that resembles that they had conqued the land and they worked hard to take the land back.\

another reason they say a picture is worth a thousand words because,the way the pictures look and how they fell to us and tell us what is happenning in the pictures.

To me, "A Picture is Worth a Thousand Words", means that when you look at a picture, you can instantly think of so many ways to describe it. You can think about it one way, or multiple ways. Everyone thinks differently, so every person can describe a picture with different words, views, thoughts, and feelings. A picture could present itself in a certain way to one person, and then present itself completely differently to another.

I definitely think this phrase is true, because I could just look at those pictures for a long time, and keep coming up with new ways to describe them, to say how I feel about them. Especially the pictures in the movie, those were sad, heartbreaking, terrifying, scary, interesting, and I feel like they're telling me something. And those are only a few words from myself. Think about what people could come up with all together. Of course, a picture is worth a thousand words.

I think the phrase A pictures worth a thousand words means that a thousand people look at one picture just about every one will have a diferent opinion about that picture. Like the picture of Obama and John McCain i think that McCain was trying to make fun of Obama behind his back but another person could think he was trying to make himself the center of attention by makin funny faces.

Yes I do think that a picture is worth a thousand words. I think this because emotions and feelings were deffinitely caught in those pictures. The picture with the soldiers holding up the American Flag really caught the patriotic emotion in a strong way. The close up picture on the woman's face was sort of sad for me because you could see sadness in the picture. The picture of the bomb exploding didn't really capture an emotion, it more or less just intrigued me, making me think what kind of people make a bomb that can make such destruction.

Yes, I do think that a picture is worth a thousand words. Sometimes when i hear that phrase i wonder, How can a picture be worth a thousand words? but that is exactly how I feel.

Instead of explaining something you see in a thousand words, you take a picture. Because using a picture to explain an emotion, is easier than using words. And it gets the message across in an effortless way.

I think pictures really do mean a thousand word. Like pictures that were taken at special events or sad one make your think of all the words that may fit into the picture your looking at.

If you really think about a picture there is enough words out there that could be used to discribe it.

I think the phrase a picture is worth a thousand words means that every picture can say something good about you or something bad.I think the phrase can tell storys about a perosn in just one picture.So for me I say the phrase is a true statement.

For other people that say the phrase is true sometimes want the thousand words to be good ones.In a picture the way you dress and the expression on your face when you take the picture can say alot about you and who you areand your personality.

Chris H. 4th hour. Yes, I think it is true that a picture is worth a thousand words. I think this because when I see a picture I look at how it looks. Then I see who is in the picture. Seeing people in te middle of the street laying there dead was very sad. When I also seen the movie and listening to it all the way made me think that that could be happening right now. The video that was with the photographs I think is very emotional. In the photo of the Holocaust it made see it as how it was then to what it is like now. When the Hidenberg occured people probably had so many emotions in their minds.

Wat i think a picture is worth a thousand words means that what you do in a picture will reflect your personallity and how you act around people if its a goofy picture like the obama and mccain picture then that means you can be goofy and or silly at times but you can also be serios some pictures show tragity and death like a atomic bomb picture that shows us how horrible it was to bomb japan. That shows we where a jerk back then. A picture can also show how some one feels it gives emotion when you take a good one, and even bad ones show emotion too. Still on the subject a picture is a thousand words is that also as mrs. Denton had said people can also interprete diffrent things out of the picture that was taken going back on the obama picture some people can interprete that as McCain being a perverted old giezer or interprete it as him just being silly like a parent could interprete it as inappropriate, but a kid could interprete it as being silly too.
