i thank this man works in the zoo and is just in this cage to be funny or to watch the animal on the other side.
Ashton Dodge (CCHS)
Here we have a rare sight of some homeless man who might be on drugs (Meth probably) chilling in his tiny glass box. Obviously he likes the attention he gets from sitting in there so he stripped for the kiddies who are taking in the sights for some reason. I don't know why he chose the box he did but I guess it's to attract attention. The kids look to be on a field trip because some of them have lunch bags but I have no idea why they would come to stare at him. As you can see, he enjoys reading about bugs hence the reason why he has the magazine with a red and black bug on it.

@Ashton Dodge this is The best thing i ever heard XD

I think that this photo portrays a man in a box that has cut himself from society. Maybe for a exhibit in a zoo. If this is in a zoo it may trying to show the human in the box how exposed the animals feel when they are at a zoo. The children in the zoo look to be on a field trip to look at maybe one of many exhibits in this zoo of humans. I believe they are on a field trip because on the chaperones and the lunchboxes the kids are holding. In conclusion, my opinion is that this person is trying to illustrate how it feels to be a zoo animal.
Erica C (camden country )
I think It is really weird because the kids are just stareing through the window. They might be standing by the window because maybe that guy is famous for something. They are proably wonderng why is that couch so small and why is that room so small.
Kendell H (Camden County GA)
This man looks like he as isolated himself from society, I mean I dont blame him. The students/children look like they are doing a study about whether the man could live there for a certain amount of years. The man looks extremely happy to be living in this box, but I dont know if anybody knows exactly why he would isolate himself, in a box in the middle of what looks like his yard. I cant determine whats on the other side of the camera, but its unhumane to live in a box with no bathroom or any personal hygiene products. This in my opinion is gross.
shelby fulkerson (place)
My thoughts, well um there is a man in a box, around the box is little kids.The man inside the box is smiling and enjoying himself in his own tiny home in the middle of a park.This man might of had a dream in life about this.The man was dignosed with a servure kideny cancer and it was to late he had 2 weeks to live. he decided to live up to his life long goal. So he got this custom little house an lived his end of his like in a quiblcle
Rene (GA)
What I believe is happening in this photo is clear just a man enoying attention from all the children and lady. Telling by the loctaion I can assume that the children where either taking a field trp or just trying to get somewhere and spots this probably glass house. The man that was inside was just being friendly, and smiled at the kids. I beleive this was meant to cause no harm or offend anybody. The kids just walked upon him at the wrong time. And that, is what I believe is what happening in the photo. :3
Dylan christy (georgia)
Children are viewing a man or celebrity behind glass windows. I believe this is supposed to represent how an animal feels in a zoo. The person might believe he is an animal. The person may think that he belongs at the zoo. He is happy to see people who want to observe him. He may need mental help.
Nieves (London)
During our VTS session, Luisa said that she thought the man might be a celebrity and that is why everyone has come to look at him.
Kate Y (Saiki, Japan)
I think the children are elementary school students on a field trip learning about observation and also how animals feel.
Samantha M (Galena Park)
in the picture i see a teacher that took a field trip to see a man that lives in a box.
Pablo Almada (mexico)
in the picture i can see a man sitin ina sofa, with a lot o childrens in the window in his right, the man has no shoes, and no shirt, in the room is a table with flowers over and a magazin
MLPxTrolls (NY)
Awkward
R.R (Galena park)
The teacher is most likely trying to prove a point towards animal life in zoos. The man chooses to be an example to help the students understand whats going on. To prove how the animal/person lives in there environment.
karas (usa)
I see man in room.I see kids look at the man. I see the teacher. Where? It is the zoo. evidence: they are signs, tree, it is funny.people are laughing.
Jackie Russo's Class 4th ESL (Albuquerque, NM)
I observe a man on a couch with a blanket. I observe kids on the glass. I infer that there's a map because there's a lot of colors on the wall. I see a tree that hangs coats. I think that that guy is famous because a lot of kids are staring at him.
IR (WGSD)
This seemed kind of weird to me because there is a ton of kids starring at him. So I think he is famous because the kids looking at him are so young.
Cade Schreier (East High School, SLC)
In the picture I saw that there was a human in the window instead of an animal, this was kind of weird to me so I looked harder, it turns out that there were many kids looking I so it must be a prank. I say this because the person is about the right age to pull a prank, and they have their shirt off. I can also find that they have like a living room set up in the window, this makes me believe it is a contemporary art piece.
Ryley (ehs, slc)
the first thing i noticed about this picture was how the man was starring at the children in the window. He looks like he's used to people staring at him. he lives in an exhibit where people can come look at him and see the way he lives. You can tell its and exhibit/habitat because there are signs in the windows telling about the things behind them.
DePaulo's World Class (Santa Maria, CA)
how does this show the effect of humans in the environment?
Sau Tafisi (East High School)
He's given little space to live and it's a invasion to his privacy.
Sam (SLC)
In this picture I see a field trip to an exhibit, the reason is because I see sings in the background and I see a group of kids about the same age, and what looks like a teacher.
Jullianna (SLC, Utah)
At first I thought that the box had a one way mirror on the outside so the kids couldn't see what was going on inside. I thought it was kind of creepy seeing the thomas the train reflection in the mirror haha. After reading what it actually was I don't think that I was that far off.
brenden (SLC)
Its bizarre but eye opening
brenden (SLC)
the photo is bizarre but eye opening because its like hes a zoo animal
Brenda (Salt Lake City, Utah)
I think that the caption for this photo is going to be something like “21st century caveman”
brenden (SLC)
I agree
brenden (SLC)
i agree
anna (slc)
I think this is represnting a zoo but also social medias. When you put your life online, anyone can look into you, as if you were in a zoo.
isaac (utah)
I think this is a zoo and he is in an enclosure. they are looking at a different lifestyle or it is a publicity thing to show something about society.
Ashleigh (Utah)
I think the picture is taken at a zoo and the kids were taken there on a feild trip to see the animals, but the zoo and the teachers were running an experiment to see how’ve the kids reacted to what’s thier life could look like one day.
Hannah Nordhoff (SLC)
In this picture, a human is being used as an exhibit in a zoo instead of an animal. The exhibits in the background and the young children that are most likely on a field trip (you can see their lunchboxes and their chaperones) that are crowding around the caged man make it apparent that this man is in a zoo. Beyond this, you can also see the pictures on the walls inside the man's cage represent other exhibits of animals. I think this picture is supposed to represent the unnatural and overly exploited lives of animals that abide in zoos.
unknown (salt lake city )
this is obviously a zoo, you can infer from the other exhibits you see in the background. I think this is more of a symbolism how we treat people. Maybe because they are different, or not like us, we treat them like an exhibit or a novelty for us to look at.
Charles Richard Gray (Salt Lake City, Utah)
There are many things that are occurring in this very interesting photograph. The very first thing that i notice is a man sitting on a small couch with a green blanket and pillow, the man also has his shirt off which is also very interesting. This brings me to believe that he just woke up from nap. The second thing I notice is that the man is in a box. You would think that he wouldnt enjoy the box, but the smile on his face clearly states that the man is enjoying the box. The third, and possibly the most fascinating part of the picture is the fact that there are children gazing at him, like he is some animal in an exibit. With all of these observations, I believe that the man is pretending like he is a zoo animal for the enjoyment of the children. The children are enjoying it because they have never seen a man in a cage before. This most likely means that the man is in a zoo. I can tell that he is in a zoo because of the railing in the distance. I may be incorrect, it could be a park or something, but the most likely and probable answer is a zoo. The reason that all the children are together is most likely because they may be on a school fieldtrip. This also proves my zoo theory correct because why would the children go on a field trip to just a regular old park? I also find it odd that most of the children are wearing winter coats when it looks like it is very warm outside. Overall this photo is very strange, I would like to figure out the true story of this strange photo.
Leo (SLC)
To me this looks like a regular zoo but in one exhibit there is person likely from a different culture or different country displaying life in that country and just average things they do. These kids are interested because it is much different than what they have ever seen.
Abby (salt lake city, utah)
I think that this is likely a zoo. They appear to be outside with enclosures on the outer parts of the picture and kids appear to be studying the surroundings. There seems to be one odd exhibit however which is the exhibit being focused on however, which might be an evolution exhibit or making people think about the conditions of a zoo to promote kindness to the animals.
lainey (salt lake city, utah)
I think that this is likely a zoo, there are exhibits in the background and they all seem like likely normal exhibits that you would find at a zoo, except this one. it looks like we as people, or this person in the exhibit are being put on display because we too should probably be looked at and examined. We should rather than being analyzed, like in this picture, analyze ourselves and from this perfect, change and alter ourselves for the better. how would we change if we were in a zoo, on constant watch?
unknown (salt lake city)
I see a young man in his "natural habitat". The children are looking at him like they would an animal at the zoo. This is probably to show what it would be like if humans were put in zoos like animals.
Elian (Cd Obregon)
I see something like a museum dedicated to freedom, which does not happen if people look at you, because there are no different social classes since we are all equal, we all have the same rights as people.
Owen Cooper (Salt Lake City, Utah)
I think this is a picture of a man in a zoo habitat because the surrounding area looks like a zoo and the women with the children looks like a zoo keeper.
Frankie Dolce (Salt Lake City UT)
What I see is an exhibit in a zoo. I think it is a zoo because you can see a monkey exhibit in the background. I believe that the Thomas the Train is a costume along with the vampire costume in the front. This must be on halloween and a school field trip or something. This man may be a part of an experiment to see what living like an animal is in a tiny exhibit although there is so much room around the cage.
camille jensen (utah)
In this picture I see a school class on a field trip with their teacher. They are at a zoo and a human is in one of the exhibits. I see that there are some people at another exhibit which is blocked off with a railing and it has signs most likely telling what the exhibit holds and about what it holds. The room that the human is in has glass windows so that people can see into the exhibit and it holds some of the things you may find in a human habitat like a chair and a blanket. The reason I think that it is a school class because there are a lot of kids with on adult, and one of the kids is holding what seems to be a lunch bag. I thought it was a zoo because there were clear windows to look into a cage, and there are other exhibits.
Ben (Utah)
It is man on exhibit in a zoo
John (Champaign, Illinois)
I seen something like this at the Museum of Science and Industry where there was a public exhibit of a woman in a glass box living inside for a month or so.
hayden (washington vancouver)
i think i see theres a gut siting on a couch and he is smileing and theres kids surounding the glass box and i think its a wax museum and i probaly am wrong because it looks like there out side because theres grass every and yeah .
Renee Weinstein (Buffalo Grove, Illinios)
LA3 Mods 22-24 We see a man behind glass. Kids and a tour guide are looking at the man through a two-way mirror as if he was a animal. This could possibly be a Wax Museum, too. The kids look very young and we know this because there is a Thomas the Train lunchbox showing and the kids are in costume. It may be Halloween because a girl in front is wearing a vampire costume. We are not sure why the man has his shirt off, but he is smiling and happy. Could he be the zookeeper?
Renee Weinstein (Buffalo Grove, Illinios)
LA3 Mods 19-21: I see a man in the picture shirtless with kids watching him through a glass window. He is drinking coffee, so I am assuming that it is morning. Although he is behind the glass, he is still outside because we can see the grass underneath him. The kids seem to be happy by the expressions on their faces. The kids are with an adult, maybe a mom, who seems happy, too. I think it might be cold because the kids are wearing coats. Some of the kids might like "Thomas the Train" or "The Simpsons" because of their lunchboxes. This might be an exhibit, and the guy might be doing this because he is broke and he needs money.
Albert Gutierrez (Houston)
The kids are looking at a guy that is in the zoo , they are being educated on hot to be a grown up .
alexia (providence, RI)
I see a man who is sitting on a piece of furniture, seeing how he was observed.
Krystal (Providence, Rhode Island)
I see some children watching a man in a small room. I also see a room with photographs.
Henlis Peralta (Providence, RI)
In the picture you can see some people surprised and laugh, because the man is shirtless, with only pants, the man is sitting like a piece of furniture, there are four behind him, there is a large one, a medium one, and two small ones, there is also white roses on a table and also a cup, there are also clothes on the floor.
anonymous kmss (Airdrie Alberta canada)
he is showing kids a life of an adult
Samantha Anderson (salt lake city)
I think that we are trying to portray how animal-like humans are metaphorically. Think about it, most people just want clothes, money, fame, etc.. We will do anything to grab at what we want, and just like animals, they will do anything to get their food. We are portraying how crazy humans have gotten by putting one in a human zoo, and having children look at what they will soon become as they grow up. The teacher is there because they are being educated about it. The man also has his shirt off, which represents that he is an animal. On the other side of the glass, there is open grass, which represents the world. The world is his play space of fame, money, and fortune.
Alex (Texas)
the man is free loading and kids are judging
Kirill (Russia)
Children came to the London Zoo and watch the room with human. A man inside tries to impress the children. As far as I understand, he lives just like he would live in his usual life trying to show as much as he really is. For example, scattered things created a cosiness with the help of hanging pictures of magazines flowers mug with tea and much more. Why did I do not understand. How much to pay for such a job? Why the children goes on such an excursion?
Chenchira (Dayton, Ohio)
The group of student are tacking a few trip at a zoo. They are seeing the room that make them recognize their own live. In side the room, young mam is sitting on the couch in his living room. This room might indicate how human's life is?, similar like author animal in the zoo. Because human is also one of the specie of animal.
Ade (Dayton, Ohio)
I think: The man in the glass box is working for a television show, to see the reaction of the people, who see it. Realmente creo que hoy en dia podemos ver cosas que no imaginabamos antes. Solo por saber y sentir sentimientos encontrados.
john appleseed (earth)
The person is a zoo employee and the kids are on a field trip looking at the live human zoo exhibit in London.
Rocky Varma (n.korea)
I think they are on a field trip and there is an exhibit for humans and the employee is the animal, because their were railing,grass, and that their is a teacher with them.Really sunny.He is posing for the students.
Demi Johnson (Canada)
Students went on a field trip to see a human exhibit. In the exhibit the person is very sick with a disease and can't be removed from the exhibit, but now he used as someone who people come to visit and learn about the disease.
Bob Grewal (canada)
We believe that these kids are on a field trip at the zoo. One of the exhibits included a man in a human habitat.Which was probably the main attraction at the zoo. We think think this because of the plaques in the background.
lavar ball (canada)
we think he is a zoo employee which is part of a human exhibit showing how humans live on a day to day basis.We think that because he is in a box which have included objects that a human uses on a daily.He is with children which seem very interested in what he is doing.
Nazanin (Canada)
As we can see there is a man trying to make people happy by his look while lying on a couch in a glass box.He is trying to impress people. Probably it is a field trip to zoo in summer time because there is a woman behind the kids . Kids are watching him behind the glass and they look interested. Or he might be in the glass becuase he wants to feel what animals are going through this being in a glass or cage
Lambert Nereus (CANADA)
We think that the POTW is that a bunch of kids that are on field trip with the adult being their instructor. They are looking at an exhibit that was made by a random guy who doesn't even work at the zoo, he just came in and set up their own exhibit. His exhibit represents how far man kind has came and how far humans have evolved. It show cases a very tiny house that has art inside and it shows what the future can be.
Navdeep Singh Bains (Mumbai, India)
I think that the children are on a field trip with their teacher and they were going to eat lunch since they are carrying their lunch bags with them and while they were going to sit down somewhere in the zoo they saw a man living in the green house, I think that room is a greenhouse because it is surrounded in glass to trap the heat, and there is grass on the floor.
Buck (Alabama )
We think that this is a zoo where a man has set up his house and there are children on a field trip there who are admiring him. We think it is a zoo because of the plaques in the background and the woman who is holding the child up to see the exhibit. It is a field trip because of the teacher looking person and the lunch bags in the kids hands. It also might be a showhome for the kids and the teacher looking person is the real estate agent.
Simon Heleentje (Canada)
We think it's a zoo because of the fences and info boards on them in background, which is mostly in zoo or at antique fords/palaces. There is a guy (it's not a model or wax figure, because if it does so then it should have melted because of sunlight coming through the glass walls) who is in an exhibit, and there are kids on a field trip (because a lot of kids with an adult) who is looking at him surprisingly.
fortnitebo$$ (Canada )
We think that this picture shows a human wax figure in an outdoor museum during summer. This is because there is a glass box around the figure to protect the scene from damage. There are a group of young kids leaded by their teacher behind them. We think that the kids are on a field trip because if you look closer some of the young students are carrying either a back pack or a lunch box with them. We think that it is an outdoor museums because the back ground is filled with Signs that may have information about the exhibit, as well vegetation around the scene.
Raven (Canada)
I believe that students and there teacher have gone on a field trip to the zoo because of the railing and plagues in the background. It is cold out because the students are wearing jackets but not too cold meaning its either spring or autumn. A woman is in the background with a child and its a human exhibit because the man is obviously expecting the students.
MacKenna (New Jersey)
We think that the children in the photo are on a field trip to the zoo. In the photo, they're looking at an exhibit of a man inside a glass room. The glass room appears to be some sort of living space. We came to this conclusion based on the following facts. The room is furnished as though it might belong in an actual house, there are habitats in the background that are accompanied by information plaques, the children appear to be school aged and are accompanied by a single adult.
Lara (Russia, Omsk)
I guess, it's a kind of installation in a Zoo. In the background I see some enclosures and notices on them. Probably it's a part of the Zoo where one can observe monkeys. A man in a glass "container" might represent evolution from an anthropoid ape to a human being and probably shows how our needs are different from animals' ones and what a human being can achieve in his life developing his skills. Probably the teacher's role is to show the kids and explain them that people might achieve success in life thanks to hard work.
Kaya😘😍pratt😘😍 (11125 Northlake Landing DR)
wow, uuuuhhh, this is super weird. ummm....it is either a wax museum or a human zoo. not sure
Long (Iowa)
We think this is a wax man in a zoo. This is an exhibit about modern people and what they do.
Allana (California )
I think that this man is in a zoo. This class and teacher are trying to study how humans live, or they might be studying how humans adapt to a lifestyle. I think this because I see that there is a setting of a living room and all the comforts of living a regular life, except that he's in a zoo or some kind of museum in some kind of small glass box and there are kids observing him. I wonder what it's like being observed by others if we were inside a glass box.
Joel Söderholm (Sweden)
1. In the picture, there are a group of children whom I believe to be on a field trip with their teacher. The children are grouped up around the glass windows of this exhibit and are watching the man in the box with amused faces. I believe the children to be visiting a zoo. I believe this because you can see other exhibits in the background. The man in the box is sitting shirtless in a relaxed posture on the couch and is looking towards the children with a pleasant smile on his face. I think the organisers deliberately choose to remove the man’s shirt. This illustrates the comfort the man feels in his box very well. The thought of the exhibit is probably to show a human in their true habitat, at home on the couch that is. The box itself could be used as a metaphor for home.
Tyler Blyers (Ottawa)
I see a teaches and her kids look at the male who has his shirt off, why? Well what I think is this is come sort of field trip and I see pictures, a rack, a table with flowers, a cup of coffee, and a couch on the inside. Why would the kids and the teacher look at this male? I don't know why. In the background, I see a sign and fences also some trees. They must be in some kind of park or zoo or even a place that has facts about it. I have nothing more to say other then the kids look not weird that they are looking at a male person without their shirt on.
Hector Navarro (Mexico )
Well in this picture I see that there are many students with a teacher like in a zoo seeing a men in like a room sitting on a couch, the kids seem to be having fun looking by the window with the men in the room or box, the men inside the box looks happy having fun with the kids also he looks relaxing because he has a coffee or tea and isn’t wearing a shirt. The room looks untidy because there is many clothe on the floor next to him.
Alberto Rivas (Mexico )
The man in the box has his shirt off and is sitting in relaxed position inside and the inside of the box looks like he is made to look like a small living room. The background of the location looks like a park because of the rail and in the back right, you can see a fence or a cage. The big group of kids that are watching him looks like there is a lady behind them, maybe this is a field trip to this park. Plus there are people in the back pointing and walking on the path so, that proves also that this is a park.
andrea lendo (obregon,sonora)
i can see that students are looking a man that is living in a zoo but in a small place that is made of windows. The man are happy to see the group of students, he live comfortable there because have a sofa,coffe, some magazines. In the picture appear with shirtless but he have some sweaters in the corner.
Luis Gustavo Soto (Sonora)
The picture is about a guy without T-shirt inside a glass room, there are some paintings on the wall and a table in the middle of the room. I can see that there are kids that are seeing him, the guy seems very happy with a smile in the face. It looks that it is a zoo and the kids are the spectators and the room is messy with clothes on the floor.
Eduardo Estrada (Mexico)
Looking at the picture there is a person without his shirt and many kids that are seeing him above a huge crystal wall, i think this is because this man it is doing a social experiment of how people react seeing him like he is and in this little room he is without shirt and all the persons and the kids are amazed about that, i think so
Karinna Güicho (Sonora)
what i think about this picture is that this guy he probably has this disease or some sickness that he have to live there and that is where he live at so the kids and teacher like had a field trip to see why or what wrong with him.
Sofia Martinez (Mexico)
A man is behind a glass, he is lying on a sofa with a table in front, and a coat rack right away, which has two shirts. The man is without a shirt and a lot of clothes lying on the floor. On the other side of the glass there is a crowded children watching the man. Just to look at the picuture make me think about that. He is in the middle of a garden.
FatimaL (🇲🇽 México )
I can say that it is a group of students that went to the zoo with their teacher, and there is a guy shirtless inside of a small house of windows, the kids are looking at him and they are laughing I think it is just a guy that went to the zoo and only for a dare or something he got to that place and he wanted to make them laugh.
Christian Félix (Sonora Mx)
Looking at he picture i can see that there is a half naked man, siting on a chair that is inside of a glass room, the room hast no floor, there is a table with flowers, a cup, a cellphone and some magazines on it, there are a few frsmes on the wall, theres a coat rack in the corner, and some clothes lay on the floor. The man has a happy expression on his face and he looks very relaxed. One glass wall side is surrounded of kids looking inside, theres is a older woman that looks like she is taking care of them. The scene is surrounded by grass and some tres. I see some caracteristics that define some feelings like the man´s happiness or the fact that the woman is the kids´s teacher. I can fine a Little enviroment of divition in this picture, i don´t know why, but it makes me feel it.
Marianne (Sonora, Mx)
Looking at the background of the picture I could realized that this place is like a Zoo, and all the kids outside the glass are a kindergarden class with her teacher, they are watching at this man shirtless that is laughing, maybe the man is kind of crazy and that’s why he is in there.
Paula Sofia (Sonora, Mx)
On the picture I can see a man with no T-shirt or shoes that's probably famous and that's why they're watching him, maybe he's crazy because of his face and also it's why he's locked up in a room, or another theory is that they're doing experiments with him like a human zoo and that's why the room has glass walls.
Kevin A. (Sonora, MX)
In the picture i can see a half naked man sitting vey conmfortable in a sofa and it appears to be like in a living room but this one is different, this room had no concrete walls it had glass wall, were we can all see that men, a lot of kids are whatching that man like if it´s a zoo and they are very entusiasmated with that it seems to be like a human zoo.
Audrey M (putney vt)
this man is in a zoo. the people on the outside are the visitors, looking in at the animal in it's natural habitat. the man inside seems to be having a good laugh at the people outside.
laicha Rodriguez (providences )
see a man sitting like in a room but outside are students and their teacher look at the person inside the transparent house.
melany reinoso (providence ri)
I see a shirtless man in a room in the size of a small office, in the back you see a person holding up a little kid, it also looks like the setting they are in is the zoo, also it looks like is in America and the evidence that supports it is if you look closer the kids have some lunchboxes that have Thomas, and Bart baker from the Simpsons, and you can also see that the grass is fake, and it kinda looks like a basketball ball under the couch in the color of re, black.
alex (providence r.i )
There are at like at a park He's acting like a he is frozen and smiling at the kids and There taking a tour he is sitting on a couch There nice background to and no socks he has no shirt there are A lot of kids watching him fake grass pictures in the background.
gregory fermin (providence )
i see a guy with no shirt and no sock and i see a lot of kid looking at him and i see he is in a little office and i see something under his couch and isee the kid with a thomas tshirt and i see they in a zoo and u see other people looking at the animal in the back.
Pamela Cruz (Providence R.I)
This guy don't have shirt on or socks i see it looks like a small living room the grass looks fake there are pic in the wall about animals there is a coat hanger small kids looking at him the living room looks like he is in the zoo or in the museum.
Patrick Weah (Providence R.I)
I think the person in the box is doing a challenge or a dare probably someone told him "I dare you to stay in a clear box all day in a park while people walk by and you have to interact with them.
Miguel Scott (Providence Rhode Island)
Whats going on in my opinion of the picture is, a famous man is being watched by some of his fans. I think this because he seems to be happy while the people on the outside of the glass seems surprised, happy, and amazed in a type of way. I personally think he is an artist of some sort, and expressing the life of the average human on the weekend or in summer, showing relaxation, comfort, and contentedness. The scene all together gives the tone of a mid-summer day, the sun hotter than a pepper, the beams of the sun shining through the open curtain window, and nice taste of a cool drink to top it off.Meanwhile, the children who are located on the right of the picture behind the glass seems to be a small class of children who seem to be observing his movements as they look into the transparent room of some sort. I see what could be an educationist/Teacher, so this could be an early summer day when school is still on or a late spring day. I believe this could be in a museum or educational facility because I see a placard of public display, something you would see in a museum.This could be somewhere in the U.S.A because, I see Thomas the tank engine and Bart Simpson, which are both cartoon characters who were created in the United States.I also think this could be in the United States because Each child could be a different race and religion, there isn't the same race all behind the glass at once, and more of a mix of many races.And the inside of the case looks like a home.

in this picture the guy is in inside 2 glass window and it looks like that he likes being in nature and that's his house . the teacher and kids are looking at him and like they are in the zoo.
Kevin G. (Houston Tx)
In this picture is giving an example of how it looks when an adult leaves the house and most of the young people do not take care of anything and train their home a disaster is a demonstration that we have to be clean and organized so as not to have problems of disaster.
ivan quinones (galena park)
a human zoo
Michell Garza (Galena Park)
In this picture I see a type of zoo, may be with a different perspective like the human life, this guy is in a small room and he has a disorder in his small house, also the floor looks like a grass, the teacher and the students looking in, and the guy looks like don cares anything.
Jordan salas (Texas)
since i see kids watching the man through the glass ,i this could be a human zoo.
Nathan Estrada (Providence, RI)
In this picture I see a shirtless man in a glass case. Around him are kids that look like they are in elementary school and on a field trip since there is so many kids. inside the glass case, there is a short wood table with an open magazine, a coffee on a coaster and a slim green flower pot with white flowers inside. there is framed pictures on the back of the wall and a coat rack on the right, appearing if it is a small house. The ground in the glass case has grass and leaves scattered all over and there are also clothes on the ground. To the far bottom left there is a small picket fence and trees in the back. The man has shaved hair and is smiling at the kids. He is wearing blue pants and a belt and he is laying sideways on the couch as if he was relaxed. There is an older adult with the kids which also gives away that there on a field trip. On the right of the kids, there is railing appearing as if they were at some kind of amusement park or zoo.
Jazzmin Abdul-Rashid (Providence, RI)
I see a human man in one grass covered room and i see a bunch of kids in the outside of the room, looking at the man through the big window. I would say that it's like a human zoo. In the man's room, there's a vase full of white roses, a mug, the man's phone, a couple of magazine, a couch, a grass covered floor and on top of the grass is the man's top clothes. There are two windows, the man has two window to look outside and to look at the children. Behind the children, there is another animal living area. There are also some photos on the wall. And there's a hangrack with a couple of clothes hanging from it.
Victoria C. (galena park )
since i see kids watching the man through glass, a living room habitat i think this could be a human zoo
Blake C. (Providence RI)
I think this is a zoo due to the fact that all the way to the right of the picture there are trees and little portraits of writings probably describing animals and their features. In this picture, there are about 17 children to the right of the picture all peering through the glass and a women behind them most likely the teacher. In this picture, there is a man in the center of the photo who seems to be encased in a glass structure and sitting on a yellowish coach leaning on a green pillow and the scenery of the glass he is encased in is like a little house with see through walls with three little portraits hanging behind him on a tan wall with a coat rack to the right of him with two jackets hung on the coat rack with a table in front of him that has a magazine mug and vase with flowers on it and the floor is grass with leaves in it. In this picture, the man seems to be examined as an animal or humans natural habitat by the children.
Junior Pichardo (Providence, Rhode Island.)
This person is inside a room with walls of glass probably because he has a disease or sickness and he wouldn't want anyone else to have them.
Emiliano Maldonado (Providence,RI)
I see a man in a Room sitting a chair.The man seems to be in a glassed room and people a watching him from behind the glass.The room has a table, flowers, and a mug while the floor seems to be made of grass.He has clothes on the floor and other clothes hand from a hanger and he also has a few pictures in the room he also seems to notices that the kids are looks at him and the man sits there smiling at theme and it also looks they're in the United States cause of the toys the kids are holding and the background.
issak (77020)
they got a new white tiger
Melvin Herrera (Chiraq)
I think this an experiment where the zoo owners decided to put a human being in a compact space to see if it would bring attention, the kids might have been part of a school field trip. the guy inside looks likes he's been there or will be in there for a while because it looks like he is trying to get comfortable, the floor looks like fake grass. The blue sheet on the floor could probably be the exit/entrance.
eulalio solis (gphs)
the boy is chilling in the house without t-shirt, and hes giving a bad impression on the kids that are looking in the window showing that the guy is having fun having a lot of mess.
Quentin Fullen (02908)
I think this Is a zoo and the guy in the back Is like laying down In like his own mini house that he made and he's staring at all the kids In the back smiling our laughing because I guess the kids are staring at the guy like he Is some kind of animal or something but it is a sunny day and I think it is a local zoo some were In europe. The guy has some flowers and like a little magazine on the table while he is staring at the kids. I can kinda tell it is a zoo in the back because there Is like a fence where all the animals stay and live at and there Is a teacher In the back watching the kids because the kids wouldn't be walking around by there selves with out and adult.
Francisco F (Galena Park)
since i see kids watching the man through the glass, i think this could be a human zoo. i think the guy is a example of a type of insect or a type of animal and the kids are looking at the guy. it looks like the kids are in a field trip to the zoo and the teacher are taking care of them.
Anthony J. Martinez (Providence, RI)
In this picture in the background I can see a type of zoo look so this could mean that the viewer is looking at something happening at this specific zoo that looks to be in america because the little kid on the outside of the confined area with an American tv show called “The Simpsons” and a bookbag from the show “Thomas and Friends”. In the habitat where the human seems to be a human in its natural habitat and the kids on the outside of the small confined area could be on a field trip and this was one of many exhibits they’ve seen. This man has a couple things that could be in your home like a coat hanger, coffee, a phone, some magazines, a vase of flowers, etc. On the right, you can see kids as a teacher looking the person and that might mean that these 17-20 children could be on a field trip with this middle-aged woman that could be a teacher. In the background of the picture, you can see 3 signs that could be a map to help you get around the zoo or could be a sign giving a description of the animal in its habitat. In the habitat of the human are a couple pictures on the wall and a couple other things like a coat hanger and other things previously listed. Next to the coathanger is what appears to be a pile of dirty clothes and shoes. That was all I could write with the time I had left in class.
Taylor (St. Paul, MN)
I think this is a zoo, and just as a lion is enclosed in a enclosure, they decided to feature a human there. I see all the kids peering in and a enclosure like environment. I think it is happening in a local zoo some were in Europe. I can find he is reading some kind of comic book, as shown on the table.
johndoe (providence,RI)
its a man in a zoo on display in what looks like an exhibit on people maybe we are in another country because i don't really know any zoos in america that have a people exhibit
Nakiya Yvonne Atkins (providence,RI)
I see a white male lounging on a little couch with children on the other side of a glass wall that are looking at him as if he's on display.In the background past the children it look's like it could be a zoo because I see other peope looking at stuff and I see a net like thier might be bird's or monkeys behind the net.It look's like it might be in the USA because I see children of all diffrent colors.the gut on display look's like he's living in a normal house or maybe it might be a livingroom with frames on the wall and a coat rack.It look's like it's summer. And the children look like they are on a field trip with there teacher.Children are wearing backpacks and carrying lunch boxes.
Devon bliss (Providence, Rhode island)
I see a white homeless man standing in a glass house. It is proudly a museum because there is information tyles next to the forest. He proudly broke in and people are surrounding him because he is not allowed to be in there. He is next to a rainforest. There are rails in front of the forest.The kids around the glass house are carrying lunch bags and there in jackets.It is bright and sunny and he is sitting in a chair with his shirt off.His pants are on but he doesn't have any socks on.The kids are not disturbed because they might think its a joke because he is smiling and they are too.There is probably something in there with him because the kids are looking away at the other side of the glass.
Kirito (Providence, RI)
What I think is going on in the picture is that a man is staying inside a box while something sort of dangerous inside with him like some sort of magic trick. It looks like it is taking place inside of a zoo because in the background you can see a net that you see to keep the birds in. Also there are some info tiles that tells you information about the animal. There are a group of kids standing in front of the glass. There is a older women standing with the kids and the kids seem to have lunch boxes makes it seem that the kids are on a field trip.
YaBoiNev (Providence)
There is a man and the facial expression on his face looks surprised or happy as there are a group of kids looking at him through a box with windows on all sides. The man in the box has his shirt off for an unknown reason and is sitting in relaxed position inside and the inside of the box looks like he is made to look like a small living room. The background of the location looks like a zoo or a park because of the rail and in the back right, you can see a fence or a cage. The big group of kids that are watching him looks like there is a lady behind them, maybe this is a field trip to this park or zoo. Plus there are people in the back pointing and walking on the path so, that proves also that this is a zoo or park.
wally (providence)
In the picture, I see a man in a little building and a teacher with her students are looking at the man in the building. Or the picture could be an art exhibit and a teacher has taken her students to see it. I think it is an art exhibit because if it wasn't then the kids would have a different reaction.
Elijah M. Rodriguez (Providence, RI)
I believe that the man on the couch is showing the children something that is not visible to the camera. It appears to be something fascinating, as everyone in the picture has a smile on their face. The man might not have a shirt or shoes because it might be very warm, considering that it is quite sunny out, and there might not be any air conditioning in the building that he is in. In the background, there is a large fence surrounding a cage, leading me to think that this is a zoo. The children seem to be supervised by a woman, some backpacks are visible, suggesting that these might be schoolchildren on a field trip and that the woman is the teacher, which would also explain why the man would be showing the children something. Perhaps it's some exotic animal that they've never seen before. The building that the man is in seems to be some sort of place to just relax, like a waiting room, but more personalized. Perhaps the man is an employee at the zoo on break, and he is just hanging out. There is no actual floor of the building, but instead, it is the grass from outside. Perhaps this is a pathway to the outside, which would explain the sliding doors.
Mario Orellana (Providence, Rhode Island)
In the background there is a fence, a walk way, and signs that make it appear to be a zoo. The floor of this enclosed area that this person is in is a patch of fake grass; This makes him appear to be in his own exhibit as an animal. The group of kids behind the glass seem to be a part of a field trip.
June Fillipe (Providence, RI)
I think those kids on the right are on a field trip somewhere where there is a man laying on a couch with no socks, no shirt and a blue black and white belt with a distinctive belt. The kids are for some reason amused by this as there smiling. WGOITP is this man is in a a small enclosure that seems to have everything the man needs to be ok like an animal exhibit. The kids are on a field trip to a zoo and stumbled across this surprised and its incredibly random so its funny especially to the kids
David Guzman (Providence, Rhode Island)
There is a room that has large glass windows on both sides. In the middle of the room, there is a coffee table. Few pictures on the wall, and a standing coat hanger in the corner. Although, there are no floors, just grass. There is also a guy laying on a white couch over a green blanket. His feet are on the armrest, and his head is on the opposite side. The background seems like they are in a Zoo. A bright and sunny day, On the other side of the glass, you have children looking at the man laying on the couch. The kids look like they are on a field trip. They are also holding lunch boxes. Now reviewing this picture again, this is probably a joke the Zoo set up because of the room that the man is in, looks like it was temporarily built for something.
alvania sanchez (providence , RI)
I think there are kids that are at the zoo with a lady as their guide and there's a man that looks like he is living in a glass box as his home. i say this becuase in the back ground there is a lady holding her baby up to see something over it and theres a lable on it. the childeren are looking at him with smiles on their faces and on his face and it looks like in the box he has a small couch and a small table with a coffee cup and flowers in a vase. Also it looks like in the background he has a lot of space and it looks like its summer in the box but from the look of the childeren it is cold outside. it looks like the kids have lunch boxes in their hands.
Cindy (Lira-Lozano )
What i believe is going on the picture is that kids are watching and laughing at the man in the ¨display¨ and I believe itś a form of art. The man can be seen shirtless with grey jeans lounging on a couch with what it seems to be an olive green blanket in some light material and a same colored pillow. The room itself gives off an aesthetic feeling. Behind him is a wall with 4 pictures hanging off of it. 1 large one and 3 smaller ones. In front of the man is a wood-like coffee table with whites roses in a thin green turquoise vase, a white mug on a coaster and an open magazine. To the left of the Man is a coat rack with a grey and green hoodie hanging off of it. There also seems to be some clothing on the ground below it.
Joseph (Rhode island)
Kids gather a the giant window of a small room with what seems like a teacher with them. They stare into the room, consisting of what seems to be a high school. A white teen with blue jeans and has no shoes or shirt on, smiling to the kids (goofy like). He lays on a small beige couch, with a coat rack holding what seems to be a grey zip up and green zip up hoodie. Below that on the floor seems to be black socks and a thin dark grey shirt, with something white, maybe being another shirt. In front of him lays a table with white flowers in a vase on it, a cup of some drink and a book with what looks to be pictures. Pictures hang above him, and it’s a little hard to make them out. The biggest on holds what seems to be (birds?) on a yellow, most likely dandelion, flower. This man might be in some type of human zoo, as it looks like there are animal descriptions behind the kids. The kids also seem to be on some sort of field trip, as they hold lunch boxes with them.
Carlos Quinones (Houston)
A group of little kids is excited for a famous person who is inside of a small room, the room doesn't have a normal floor, it has grass, and he is very happy about it. He is excited too to see the kids who are outside of the room, watching him.
Paula Quinones (Galena Park)
I think a teacher is taking care of these kids and she took them to a trip to see a famous guy.
Giselle V. (Houston)
i think maybe this guy is famous or has some type of disease that nobody can be around and thats why they put him in that room with mostly see through walls so he can still see the outside world and the people that make him happy.
jadevion taylor (gpisd)
i think they looking at him because hes in some type of jail and the little kinds are just standing around him
Ivan p. (Houston)
what i think about this picture is that this guy he probably has this disease or some sickness that he have to live there and that is where he live at so the kids and teacher like had a field trip to see why or what wrong with him.
julissa muro (galena park )
the guy in the clear box might be because he may have some diseases and he wouldnt want anyone else have them. maybe the guy is smiling because he thinks he can be the only one who has the sickness or whatever is going on in that state or country. the kids think that its something good but ones they realize that the sickness he may have is contagious they probably wont laugh till they finally realize it can catch on to others.
i8ju (ku8ju)
In this picture it has a men that looks like a person but is not a real person also in the picture it looks like he is a little room that has a little table with a cup of coffee and some other things like a picture and flowers. Also behind the window is people that is looks its taken a picture of him.It seems that he attract to people.
ana (houston)
the guy is probably sick but hes also trying to make the little kids laugh or entertaining them
Jovahana Juarez (Galena Park)
In this image I see a man inside the small room with two large windows and the man looks surprised from the other side of the window. It is a group of children with their teacher looking at the man.
Fabian M. (Houston, TX)
there is like a teacher with the student , a person in a room, a room with walls of glass, clothes every where of the room, the dude don't have a shirt. I think they are seeing this person because maybe he likes to have the attention from every body and his like a person that don't cares anything
Jorge Acosta (Ciudad Obregon)
what i think going in the picture is that : the men is inside that room of windows because he was some desease or sickness and they put him there, and the kids go to make him a little happy and don't fell alone always. What makes me feel that is that why is he without shirt inside a little room of windows is wear. i can see that they are like in a garden of a house or something like that because if you see through the windows there is like more grass and a wall
Maria Luisa (México)
I saw in the picture kids that are excited of watching the exposition that is art. I see that is a man in a small room and is like a piece of art and I think that the kids are admire and laughing because is strange to see a man like that. I can see that is another part of the garden, and that is expressing like if he is relaxing and having fun.
Robyn (New york)
hes propbaly fliming a music video or something? and all the rest is papirazzi
black unicorn (Pennsylvania)
this is a man pretending to be in a zoo exhibit. the house has glass on at least two of the walls. this connects with the zoo because it allows people to look inside to see how he lives, like animals. there are kids looking inside his house. the kids looking in resemble a school field trip to a zoo. there are railings and podium in the background. this connects because its a real zoo and it appears that he is trying to be apart of it.
Dania (New Jersey)
This is a human exhibit, because for one the children and teachers are watching the person the exhibit in awe. Two, the person is posing for the people so he can entertain them. And three, the room looks aesthetic like an exhibit would usually look like.
Yeoni (Powerpuffgirls)
I could not post this since the internet was not working. This is a piece of art. This is aesthetic based of color scheme. Which is a common trait in art. People are also admiring the man in the box as if it was something to look at. Lastly, the background has plagues which normally show information about things happening.
Nicole Smith (New York)
Google was not working on Tuesday this is my post. I think it is an outside exhibit. Well because, trees and grass are the carpet, and those are alive living things. It is an art exhibit because , in the back right there is a sign with information on it about another exhibit. Finally the man being stared at by kids is what you do at an art exhibit because you observe the gallery.
Nallely Garcia (houston)
A group of children are staring at a guy without a shirt who is inside of a box. The children look surprised and he looks relaxed. I think he's trying to show something or trying to give a message. He's in his natural habitat just like the animals are displayed in the zoo.
juan (hp)
I is person
Sebastian (Hp)
I think that the kids are on a field trip and they're at the zoo the backround the trees
Delilah (HP)
I think that the guy is at the zoo. And the guy volentured to feel how it is as a animal. I say that because he is in a glass of display were most animals are . And the guy is one of the kids parents. The kids might be laughing ,because the guy has no shirt on.
Kassandra (hp)
In this picture i saw a guy in the zoo. I say this because you see sins in the back. Also there is a school or a class waching him.
Ashley (hp)
. i think that there is a guy in a zoo in a glass cube. . the kid that there in a fireldtrip at a zoo because it zoo like. .i think that it is like he house and there asking a question about the guy is doing
Cesar (LA)
The kids are in zoo, they are looking at a person inside a box with windows, the zoo made it look like it's part of the zoo.
Nathan (LA)
In the photo their is a man in a display glass and he is taking his break in their while a class is watching. A bunch of kid looking in a glass room were a man is. A place with plants and sings.
Analize L (Huntington Park)
I see a guy that gets paid to be displayed in a museum or a Zoo of some sort. I can see that because the kids seem to be on a field trip with their lunches and stuff with an adult.
Deanna (HP)
- This man is on a display as an animal at a zoo - He is inside a glass and he is in a zoo - I can also see some children and a teacher possibly on a field trip
ENRIQUE (HP)
I think that this man is on a box of full of butterfly's because there's butterfly's on the ground and he is on a Zoo
Gaby (HP)
I Think that the man is displaying on the glass for kids can see him.
Joshua (HP)
I see that kids are looking at a igsibit
Osiris (HP)
What I think is going is that kids are at a field trip. I also think he is living the wild life and the asked him to live in a small house. I also think the are observing how he lives
Robert (LA)
It looks to be a kind of a museum or zoo that the kids are visiting. in the back round there is a zoo kinda back round. i can also see that a lady is showing her child the exibit.
Ethen (HP)
I see a man in a glass box in a zoo. I see that because the background shows the zoo places. I can see kids that are watching him.
David (HP)
.I see a man in a zoo in display for children. .the man is in a box and children are watching him. .i found out that he's in a cube simalar to a home.
Jamie (HP)
. I see a man lying in a sofa. . the man is in a sofa also in a zoo . I also see kids in a zoo field trip
Amy (H.P.)
what i see in this picture is a guy inside a tinny room. What i also see is students looking inside the room.What i also see is that they are in a zoo because i see all the trees and the fence coverd up to not trespass.What makes me say that because i see with my visulasation.
johnathan (HP)
what I thing is going is he is in zoo Because you could see a bars
Isabella (HP)
I think that they are at a wax museum. I also see that kids are at a field trip and are staring at a guy
Angel (h.p.)
all the kids have eye contact with the men and it looks like the guy is in a small room. i say that because there is grass in the back and there is mountains in the back. it seems like the guy is in the middle of the zoo.
Alexander (HP)
what I think what is happening in this picture is that he is in a zoo. What make me said this is that background. I also can see that the person is famous because all the student are watching him.
Tadeo (hp)
There is a man in a glasshouse in the zoo. I think he is display as a animal. It looks like there is kids so I think it is a field trip.
Marky (HP)
What i see is a man being shown as a exibit. I also see that they are at a zoo. The reason I think that because I see a net and a barrier so that could be a zoo.
Miss Neuman's Social Studies Class (Muncie, Indiana)
This place must be a zoo. The exhibit is of a zoo keeper on break, or a person with a contagious disease, or it exemplifies the cramped space of the animals.
jessica hernandez (houston)
I think that he's the male being displayed in his natural habitat, as if he's being displayed in a zoo.
guillermo (houston)
i think that he is in the zoo inside the glass box so children can see him
Alejandra Hernandez (Galena Park High School)
The students are on a field trip and i believe they are treating the human as if he was an animal. Like at a zoo and how we observe animals. So they are treating the man as if he's an animal. The kids are reacting so fascinated by him. They are observing his lifestyle.
Jesse p (houston)
they are OBSERVING his behavior while he is in a glass box that he can not get out of
Adriana Pina (Houston, Texas)
They are showing what it's like to be an adult, also they can be making a joke about zoo animals. The man can even be proving a point, or just wanted to see how it is. It looks like an apartment and everything.
Benjamin Mendoza (galena park texas)
The kids are observing the man in the glass box at the zoo, maybe to see his behavior. You can tell because the kids are all looking at the human.
Mia Ak (Juneau)
I believe what is going on in this picture is that a man is in a isolated room with widows where groups of people can look at him and see how he is living in the room. I also believe that this is part of a science experiment to see how an animal see us when we look at them though glass windows.
Leonardo Jimenez (Houston)
I think that the kids took a trip to the zoo and there are showing the kids a man in its habitat so the kids wont feel bad that the animals are in cages.
Alejandra Hernandez (Galena Park High School)
I believe that the kids are observing the man as if he were an animal. Like at a zoo , and how we observe animals. They are observing the man and his lifestyle. The people are fascinated by his way of life.
Kylah Evans (Houston, Texas)
In the picture, i can see that the children are looking at the man inside the glass cage. It also seems that they are at the zoo. When you go to the zoo, you go to look at the animals in their natural habitat. When you see the man in the glass cage, you see things that might be in his living room. I put the 2 together and realized that, its basically like the animal in its "natural habitat". So maybe they were trying to make others see how an the animals feel when we go around looking at them in their homes/ natural habitats.
Sarai Alvarez (Galena park)
it is an attraction at a zoo and the kids are looking at this man in a zoo cage very curious on why he is in there because typically an animal is in a cage.
Jesus G (Houston)
it seems like they doing an experiment with him because in the back you can see that looks like a zoo and those little kid may be from a school trip
jessica moreno (houston)
i think the man is displaying how his living life style is different from other just like in the zoo but with humans.
guillermo (houston)
i think that the guy is on the zoo on a glass box
Jorge Calzada (Houston)
By the backgrounds i can tell that they are in a Zoo, and they are impressed because they didn't know about a person who is a attraction for the zoo.
Alejandro Juarez Castillo ( Houston ,Texas)
I see a group of childrens looking a male homo sapiens in an zoo,his natural habitat. I see animal pictures on the walls and nature magazine on the table and floowers. He have a coffee cup. The childrens looking happy,because they watched the male homo sapiens' life and the teacher explained how can life and how need life he.
Miles (GP)
i think hes being put on display like animals at a zoo
Jose Leza (Houston)
I think that they are studying the human as a animal. THey have the man inside the glass like if he is a animal and kids are just stopping by to look at him. I can also see that hes going to be there for a good amount of time because its like a little house in the glass cage. Or maybe the man wants to see what it feels like to be a animal and be in a cage that you cant escape from.
Erin W (AOSE)
Whats going on in this picture? It seems as though these people are looking at this man in a glass house, however it seems like it is just one room. What Do I see That makes me say that? The people are looking in through the glass and the man is looking back at them and he seems like he is joking around with them What else do I see- The man is looking out at the people are laughing. His clothes are also everywhere. Maybe he lives there?
Brandon Ceniceros (Houston Tx)
I see a bunch of little kids which I think there are in school trip to a zoo and there is an adult supervising them. They are seeing a guy in a a small room which is probably a exhibit showing how do animals feel in a cage.
Aracely Delgado (GPHS)
School children looking through the glass and it looks like they are at a zoo exhibit and maybe the man is there because he acts like a animal.
Jorge C (Houston)
The kids are in a field trip and their looking at the man that is in the cage in my perspective i think the man is from another state and there trying to see how those people live
Gisel Marroquin (Galena Park Highschool)
because it looks like a school went to go look at a man on display at the zoo for a trip it seems to me that they are trying to show us what its is to be an animal at the zoo.
jorge medellin (Houston)
it seems to me that the kids were at the zoo and guy was one of the animals in his own habitat.
Sergio Rodriguez (GPHS)
I think it is an exhibit at a zoo and there is a man (weird or something special). This class came on a trip to the zoo and saw a man instead of an animal and they are really curious why he's in there why isn't there an animal. I infer this because the way the kids are looking and he's in a enclosure like the animals
Leslie Garcia (Houston Tx)
It looks like a man on display at a zoo because it is outdoors. There is also pictures of animals on the wall indicating that has to deal about animals. The kids look so interested in this.
Angel Ramon (Houston Tx)
The school children are looking through a glass, at a man on display like he's in a zoo. There seems to be paintings and pictures on the wall but it may nothing to do with anything. The kids look amazed for some reason.
Wuendoly Salgado (Texas)
In this picture you are able to see a man (shirtless) hanging around in a sort of display box, with young kids watching him. It seems that the children are in a field trip to a zoo, and the man is one of the displays. The man in the transparent box may signify the lives of animals in zoos, not being able to escape, and be were they are supposed to be.

A bunch of students are looking at a man in a "zoo exhibit" Well, I think that because it does look like a zoo cage/exhibit and there are a bunch of little kids with one elderly person in the back. Well it looks like an average white man just sitting in his living room but it is like frozen
Miss Tew's Study Skills Class (Colchester, Essex, UK)
We think that it is an exhibit at a zoo (there are information boards behind, with a man and a child looking over the fence). The experiment is to provoke thought about what it is like to be a zoo animal. Here, we see the man, relaxed in a naturalistic habitat (tea, plant, pictures, rug, chair etc). The children are with their teacher looking at the animals and they come across this exhibit. Maybe they can now imagine themselves in a zoo. Would they like it? Are all of his needs catered for?
P (New York)
In a comment on zoos (maybe even at an actual zoo) a male homo sapiens is being displayed in an approximation of his natural habitat. I see animal pictures on the walls and a nature magazine on the table, which I see as clues that zoo/museum personnel decorated the room. Several questions could be raised about the choice of a subject who is young, fit, and handsome. Not that I am complaining.
Daniel D. (GTA, Ontario, Canada)
I'm going to look at it from a different perspective' (though I know this is wrong since it is only 2018 right now). These kids and presumeably their teacher (because there is no way a mother has 30 kids of the same age, though that would be rather impressive) are visiting an outdoor museum exhibit showcasing their ancestor, the homo sapien; the human being of our current time. Therefore, I can conclude this takes place in the distant future (maybe 3018, provided we survive as a species until then). Since the man is not minding the children looking in on him, I can conclude that this was inteded, as though this was an exhibit. The interior looks similar to a house with the décor, and the not-perfectly-organizedness of it. Maybe the purpose is to study what life was like back in 2018. Another theory I had is that this is a metaphor for how public our lives really are. With all that social media displays of us these days, it can be as though people are living our lives with us, since they are so (sometimes overly so) updated on our every action. Since the man, in his shirtless, lounging state, seems to be relaxing while everyone is watching, this seems to convey that, with all we post every day, we might as well have all our followers (who can sometimes amount to be complete strangers if our privacy level settings are set to "public," as I presume the people outside are to the man inside the enclosure are) watching our every action.
Blake (SMS)
It appears to be a man who set up a "living room" outside somewhere. These children are curious about what he is doing. To me I think this is very creepy. The reason why I think this is he did this for entertainment.
Savannah H. (SMS)
The kids came across a glass house and went up to it. Looking through the glass they saw this guy living there. All of these people who is at glass is on a field trip. This guy in the house, when he saw the kids, he was very surprised to see them. There is a woman in the background taking pictures. I think the lady is taking pictures of the animals who is in the woods.
HAB (St. Louis)
In this photo what everyone obviously sees is a man in what looks like the living room of a house, except for the windows surrounding the "house" and the turf that is used as flooring. Behind the kids it looks like there are railings in which zoo animals would be behind. Is it possible that the man is a statue or a robot used to show the kids that something about humans or something like that? The kids do seem to on a field trip and very interested in the man. On the opposite side of the "house" there looks like actual actual grass and a part of a tiny fence.
MariaP (WGSD)
I noticed that there is a shirtless man laying on a couch looking at the children on the other side of the glass. I also see that the children are laughing at the man, I think the children are on a field trip because there is a lady behind the them and I think she might be the teacher. but I have no idea what the guy is doing there and why the children are so interested in him, maybe he is a celebrity.
Kaden Loving KJL (Saint.Louis)
Kids are looking at exhibit with a man in there. The kids are on a field trip and they look amazed and confused.
Erin W (AOSE)
How did you know that it is an exhibit ? What in this picture makes you say that?
MalenaH (WGSD)
I think that there are children on a field trip to the zoo. I think this because behind them there is what looks like a caged in area for animals. I think that maybe the man is trying to live in there for a long time because there is clothes everywhere. It is strange though because the ground is grass.
Enza B (WG)
I think this man is in a zoo. I see a monkey exhibit in the background. The man seems to be in a cage or exhibit. It looks like he has been there for a while because I see clothes laying around. The kids looking at him seem to be on a field trip because I see a teacher behind them.
LT (WGSD)
I think this is a very strange picture. I know I say it every time, but this one is REALLY strange! It looks like the shirtless man is living in a glass tiny house with grass as flooring. All the kids are staring, a bit creepily, at the man. I assume that the kids are on a field trip. it seems that the shirtless man is comfortable being seen with his shirt off, almost like this happened daily. I am pretty puzzled with this picture and I cannot wait to find out what it really is!
JH (WGSD)
I think the kids are on a field trip and I think the man volunteered at the zoo to be behind glass for a special exhibit. The reason why I think he is at a zoo is because behind the kids there is a net and a more forest like area, also the habitat behind the man is grassy and different than the forest like area. Another idea I have is that he might be famous in that area and might be pranking the students and the teachers willingly cooperated.
JAH (WG)
I think that this man is a statue and the rest of the room is normal things and he is made of clay. I think the kids are on a field trip to a special art museum and by the look on their faces I think that they know they he is a statue (If he is) and they are just speechless.
Mrs. Entwistle's Class (Florida)
We think it is a human zoo. The teacher and children are looking at the man in a glass exhibit.
Teddy w (WG)
I think that kids are on a feild trip because I see some of the kids with lunch boxes.I think the guy is in there because it is holtel or something like that. I think it is a holtel because it looks like he slept there.
Charlie (WG)
The place looks like a zoo or something. Mabye there is an animal in the room with the guy on the couch, and the in front of that place there is a habitat with more animals. There may be birds there, judging on the photos on the wall. and the kids there seem pretty interested in what is behind the two windows.
RD (St.Louis)
This man might be famous because lots of kids are staring through the window. This kids might be on a field trip to the zoo, because behind them I can see an animal exhibit. It looks like the guy might live there, because that looks like a living room in a house. It looks like this person was dared to do this.
Ct-7567 (Woodside)
I believe that the children are on a field trip. Also that they are in a field trip at the zoo because of the background. I believe that the reason the man is inside the box it's because he is maybe showing the children how a normal person lives their everyday life.
ANA (woodside)
I think that this guy is in a park and i think that the kids are laughing because it's kind of like he is in the zoo. There are also clothes and blankets so he has probably been there for a couple of days.
gingy_27 (Woodside CA)
I notice a shirtless man, he is staring at the kids. I also notice that the kids are more interested in a shirtless man than whatever is going on behind them. Possibly they could be on a field trip. I honestly don't know what's going, I'm really speechless.
Quavo (Whs)
I think the kids are on a field trip because there is a teacher behind them.There is also a man behind glass.The children are leaning on the glass,as if they know the man.I think this place takes setting in a zoo.
xXBryangaribay77Xx (Woodside CA)
I think that in this picture the man must be in some type of house like if hes an animal exhibit. There's could be another animal right next to him in the other cage and hes just guarding and taking care of the animal next to him. There are also many pictures of birds that might be hinting to that they may be birds in the cage next to him.
Willy (Wanka)
In this photo, it looks like it might be a field trip. Normally, when it's a field trip they go somewhere fun, so this might be a museum of some type. In the photo, the side you can't see might have how people used to live. On this though, you have what people do now.
RCW$ (Woodside)
I think the the kids are on a filed trip. I believe that the little house is part of the filed trip. I also believe that the man lives there because he has almost all the we use.
LV03 (Woodside CA)
I believe the children are on a field trip, they are at the zoo. I believe this because their is a shirtless man in a glass box. You can also see in the background a parent caring their child so they can see the other animal behind the fence.
monse (woodsidse high school)
i thing that they are at the zoo and they think he is like an animal, because he looks like a monkey. i also think they might be on a field trip because it looks like there is an adult with them and they have lunch bags, and backpacks.
notorious smalls (woodside CA)
In this picture it looks like the kids are on a field trip to see a guy. I don't know but to me it looks like the man is in captivity. I think this is all an experiment and the kids are learning about this experiment.
Buster (woodside)
in this picture I think that kids are on there way on a field trip and they found a man in a boxed house. But the teacher did not know what to do so they just ended up looking at the boxed man. I think this because on the opposite side of the kids there is just an open patch of grass so it looks like they were on there way to there field trip.
theo (Woodside CA)
There's a shirtless man on a couch inside a cage. He is being watched by children that are outside a cage. It looks like he's in a zoo and I think he is the animal because he's in a cage and being watched.
Wilbur Wildcat the Supreme (Woodside, CA)
This picture to me is quite bizarre because why would a bunch of children want to watch a shirtless man. What I think this might be is a social experiment for the man. I can tell this because it looks like that he cant get out of that room and is maybe at a park judging by the background. I think the children were on a walking field trip and came upon that man.
Jaketheripper (woodside CA)
In this picture there is a guy in a glass box and there are kids looking at him. Also, the kids are at the zoo just by looking at the background. Maybe, he's famous and he's there to make kids happy.
Aaron (Boston)
I think it is a outdoor museum tour. The children are on a field trip and are visiting a box — someone living in a minimalist style.
Zoe (Massachusetts )
The man is a wax figure. He represents a scientist/historical figure who studied nature. The children are learning of this scientist/historical figure. He is at a museum.
Brendan (Massachusetts)
I think that this is a man in some kind of human exhibit at a museum, and that the children are looking at him through the glass.
Alysha (Auburn)
I think that they are in an exhibit where the children are viewing the different species of the world. I think that what they are looking at is the exhibit about the human species in modern day.
C. Hal (South Pole, Antarctica )
I believe that is man is trying to break the world record for the longest time spent in a glass box and these children are on a field trip to see him trying to break the record.
Lol (It’s me)
Honeslt, I think those is basically som sort of representative of our culture in our society someht8ng opus don’t On my way! I I feel stupid lol
Lydia Oliver (Auburn)
I think that this might be is a wax figure. In an exhibition modeling what would happen if you don’t do your home work- you would have to model in a box in the green for everybody to come look at you for a living.
Maeve (Boston )
I think this could be an exhibit showing a wax figure in a zoo showing all animals, including humans.
Sam (Massachusetts )
I think it is a normal field trip with a zoo but this part of the museum or exhibition is showing something significant about the man.
Eric Paine (AUBURN)
It is definitely a wax sculpture of “white men”.
garfieldcholo (Woodside CA)
I think this is a zoo for humans because the kids are on a field trip. The kids are maybe looking at a famous person. Maybe the person arranged it as a surprise for the kids.
Debrah Debbie (Woodside CA)
This looks like some sort of field trip. This could be a wax museum. The image makes me believe that there is a field trip to a wax museum, because I would hope the children in this photo are not just looking at a random guy with no shirt on. Also the children have book bags and lunch boxes which makes me believe they are on a school field trip with their teachers.
Ouch (Earth)
I believe this is an exhibit in some sort of zoo, showing how the human habitat, an everyday house, are completely different than any other species.
Maria (no)
It seems like a school field trip. Maybe this is some kind of social project, meant to represent a real world situation. The man in the box doesn’t look unhappy to be there, so he must be in on it.
Aubrey Donkey (Woodside CA)
In my opinion I think this is in a public park because you can see people walking around. I can see kids staring at him naked like if he was outta of his mind. Another thing he can be displaying how he lives in his own home. We never know if he an wild animal living in the park too.
Brooklyn (San Francisco, California )
This looks like a museum that a group of children are visiting. You can tell it is a museum because there is a guard railing and plaque in the background along with an adult with the group. This could be a wax figure as an exhibit having some sort of significance. It’s a little odd.
IUseJellyNotJam (Woodside CA)
I think these children are on a field trip somewhere and they are walking by a place and see this man in a glass box. The glass box contains the man, grass floor and a table. The man is not wearing a shirt, shoes and only pants. By the way the photo looks the man might be living inside the box. Overall I think it is a little weird for a man to be inside the box but at least it is entertaining the kids.
Shorty02 (woodside)
In this picture it looks like a field trip. It looks like the man lives in the box he has clothes, pillows, and blankets. He has hung pictures up on the wall behind him. the kids look happy to see the man. Behind all of the kids it looks like a zoo.
BlackHammer02 (Woodside CA)
I believe that this is a field trip maybe at a zoo. I think this is a zoo due to the background. I also noticed the kids seem very interested in the guy and it looks like he has been living there for sometime.
Nicole (sms)
This man might be living in a glass house and kids are on a field trip and then a kid notices a man in glass house so now all of them want to go inside too.
monse (woodsidse high school)
i agree because i think the kids are in a field trip. But, I'm not sure if he lives in the glass house.
Quavo (Whs)
I agree with you response because, in the background you can see a mom carrying her child to look over the rail.
Austin (SMS)
I think the kids are on their field-trip because some of them have lunch boxes. The little girl with the glasses is looking at the other side of the room than the man so I think there is an animal with the man.
Rylee (sms)
I see kids and a teacher watching a shirtless man in a small room with no flooring. Is he supposed to be in there or did he choose to be in there? I wonder why he is really in there. I think he likes to be in there. I also think he is in a zoo.
theo (Woodside CA)
I see the same thing as you and his flooring is grass. It looks like he wants to be there because he looks very happy. I also think that he is in a zoo.
IUseJellyNotJam (Woodside CA)
I agree with Rylee because the kids and the teacher are watching the shirtless man in the room with no flooring but glass. I agree that he could be in the zoo because they would not put grass as the floor for humans but maybe animals. Overall I think that the photo is not normal and that it is something someone would not see any day.
Abby (sms)
In this image I see some kids and one adult standing outside what seems like box house. I think this is in a zoo because of the background. I think these kids are on a field trip. The guy on the mini sofa is living in the box because he has clothes, blankets, and pillows.
BlackHammer02 (Woodside CA)
I agree with Abby because I also thought that this is a zoo because of the background. I also believe that these kids are on a field trip because they all have backpacks and a adult watching them. The guy looks to be living there because he has clothes, and he has sleeping materials.
RCW$ (Woodside)
I agree with your comment because in the picture it seems like he does lives there.
ANA (woodside)
i agree i think he has been living there and has been there for a while
Cason (SMS)
I think it is a field trip because there is an adult behind the children. There is a lot of kids looking at him so he might be famous. They also have lunch boxes and book bags.
IUseJellyNotJam (Woodside CA)
I agree with Cason because the children are supervised by an adult and have backpacks on so it seems like they are on a field trip. I think they could be on a field trip to the park or zoo and saw the man so they went to go and check it out. The children seem to be happy by laughing at the man in the glass box.
xXBryangaribay77Xx (Woodside CA)
I agree with this person because there are kids line up at the window looking and you can see an adult that could be a teacher or a padron.
monse (woodsidse high school)
i think thats why the kids are looking at him because he might be famous.
Andrea Roundfield (PAVE Academy Red Hook 6B)
Judah stated, "I feel the young man is being observed like an animal in a zoo; since humans are animals." Valeria stated, " Students, identified the background as a zoo, maybe in California. California or Florida tends to be sunny. "Actually, maybe NYC in the summer because it is not always frigid and cold," stated Maria. More students began to agree with Maria's assessments as they noticed the children had on long sleeves. Serene stated: Just because it is sunny, doesn't mean it isn't cold.
Wilbur Wildcat the Supreme (Woodside, CA)
I agree with your statement because of the fact of "I feel the young man is being observed like an animal in a zoo; since humans are animals." This may be a social experiment judging by him in what maybe is a zoo. What I also think is that the children came upon him.
Andrea Roundfield (PAVE Academy Red Hook 6B)
"Thank you for your response, Wilbur Wildcat the Supreme. I also believe it is a social experiement," Judah.
Gustavo (SMS)
I think what is going in this picture is that maybe the guy is taking a break. You can see at the back is like a zoo; I see a lot of kids around and there is a teacher in the middle of the kids.
xXBryangaribay77Xx (Woodside CA)
I agree with this person because he might be taking a break and that place does look like a zoo because in the far back you can see a woman trying to show her son something.
EML (SMS)
The kindergarteners went on a field trip to see a famous guy, they talk about in history class. Everyday the guy is on his couch and shirtless with a smile on his face. So today the kindergarteners went to see the famous guy in person!
Aubrey Donkey (Woodside CA)
I disagree with you because they do not teach you history in kindergarten. I can agree with you that he can be some famous guy naked. That naked guy most have something important to be famous.
Kailee (sms)
The man in this picture is a worker and he is resting for a moment.The kids are on a field trip and visiting a landscaping job or outside job, like working with wildlife because of the pictures behind him. The person behind the group is lifting up a kid and showing the kid an animal.
garfieldcholo (Woodside CA)
I like the creativity in your comment and how he might be resting. I also didn't notice the lady in the back.
Ct-7567 (Woodside)
I disagree with you because I said that the worker in the box is showing the children how a normal person lives everyday. I also believe that the adult might be their teacher.
noah (sms)
In this photo, it looks like it might be a field trip. Normally, when it's a field trip they go somewhere fun, so this might be a museum of some type. In the photo, the side you can't see might have how people used to live. On this though, you have what people do now.
Shorty02 (woodside)
I disagree with this comment because I believe that the man is in a zoo not a museum. I believe this because if you look behind the children it looks like a zoo exhibit. I also believe that on the side you can't see has an animal of some type.
Ms. Schmidt's class (1) (Aurora, IL)
We believe that this is a zoo of some kind because there are guard railings in the background and plaques that tell information about the animals. There is a group of students on a field trip and we believe this because of the adult in the background. We think that this man is part of a human exhibit. This could be an example of modern man vs. cave man. There are pictures on the wall that show that this is some kind of living quarters. This also could be a one way looking glass that the man can see the kids but the kids can't see the man. Or this is completely photo shopped!
BlackHammer02 (Woodside CA)
I agree with Ms. Schmidt's class that this is a zoo of some kind due to the background. I agree that these kids are on a field trip because the kids have backpacks on and what looks to be like a teacher in the back. I also noticed the pictures on the wall and that the man is looking at the kids.
Sierra (SMS)
I see there is a guy sitting on the chair and his floor is the grass it makes me wonder that he moves to different places. There is a lot of kids outside of his small house he looks confurbull just looking out the window. There is four pictures on the wall and he just has his clothes laying on the grass. I wonder how he washes his clothes.
Incontinental (Earth)
This is a Tom Brady diorama at the National Football League Hall of Fame, portraying Mr. Brady in his dorm room as a senior at Michigan State.
Aubrey Donkey (Woodside CA)
I disagree with you because why would they show it off in the zoo or park wouldn't it have to be in a famous museum since Tom Brady is famous.
Shorty02 (woodside)
I disagree with this comment because there is no evidence to support this claim. I believe that the children are on a field trip at a zoo. I also believe that on the other side of the room that you can't see is an animal of some sort.
Jaketheripper (woodside CA)
I disagree with you because the kids are at the zoo. Also, add detail why you think that is Tom Brady in a glass room. Also, where in the world did you came up with the idea that the man in the glass room is Tom Brady?
Toren Joshua Goering (telford, PA)
I believe these kids are on some odd field trip,my reasoning for this is 1. They have their bags with them and there seems to be a teacher with them 2. you can see plaques in the background possibly signifying landmarks and or types of wildlife. then there is the other half of the photo that males no sense for example, shirtless dude in a glass house with a grass floor. I thought for a second it might be a wax figure on display but with the glass letting sun through it would've melted. I found that this man seems interested in wildlife which can be told from the magazine on his table and the pictures of animals in frames behind him. I look forward to finding out what this picture is because i am truly intrigued
jessica a (soudy)
i would think this is a outside room where a man is sitting down, and kids thought it was interesting to they went to see what was going on. The facial expression that man is making looks like he was laughing maybe this was also a field trip because the kids have bags and their jackets.
Caleb Frustino (Souderton)
I think this picture is of a field trip. There are a bunch of little kids and an adult staring through a glass window at a guy modeling to be someone relaxing in his living room but with outdoor scenery all around. It is probably some kind of trip where kids get out of school and have a fun experience seeing new things.
Zach (Straub )
I think this is a daycare. I see kids with there jawns that they pack their lunches in. The man seems to be in a waiting room and is possibly there to pick up his kid. It seems like a daycare because there only 1 adult on the outside of the box
garfieldcholo (Woodside CA)
I never thought of it as being a daycare and could possibly be true. I liked that fact that you prove your point of it being a daycare with some sort of evidence.
Annika (New York)
I think it's a field trip because there is an adult in the group and one of the kids has a Bart Simpson lunch box. Maybe the place is a park with a lake or pool, so that's why the dude isn't wearing a shirt.
Ct-7567 (Woodside)
I agree with you because I also said that the children are on a field trip. However I said that the children are at the zoo because of the background.
Festus (Juneau AK)
I think this might be a art exhibit some were in Europe, these things are kinda common in Europe.
C. Hal (South Pole, Antarctica )
Exactly.
Jaketheripper (woodside CA)
I disagree with you because you can clearly tell that there at the zoo. Also, art exhibits are not always outside since the can get dirty really fast. Also, add detail why you think this is from Europe.
cassiousak (juneau)
In this picture they are in a zoo, probably on a field trip because all the children have lunch boxes and a teacher with them, I also see a magazine with a bug and pictures on the wall with animals which persuades me to believe that this is a zoo even more.
Tristan Bryant (Juneau Alaska)
he's properly showing how it feel to be stuck in a change all the time.
Tayler (Juneau-Douglas High School)
I think that the kids are looking at some kind of art display and the guy inside the glass box is just chilling and happy to see how the kids are enjoying the animals and what he is in.
Adam (JDHS)
This is the most bizarre photo I have ever seen but I think what is going on in this photo is that this man is possibly apart of either a social experiment or a fun zoo display. You can tell this because of the wildlife signs and possible nets in the background which are usually apart of zoo displays. You can also sort of tell because everything in the display the man is in has animal-related things, like the butterfly portrait or the beetle in the magazine.
Debrah Debbie (Woodside CA)
I agree with what you have stated because i notice in the background that it looks like a zoo. Also the animal pictures might be a part of the zoo and a weird zoo display. It also might be a social experiment too.
Tianna Ak (juenau)
I think the the kid are on a field trip and they are looking at his project at the zoo. I think this because there is a lot of kids with a teacher. I think its in a zoo because in the background you can see places with animal sighs and everything in the box is kinda about animals.
LV03 (Woodside CA)
I agree with you that they are on a field trip at a zoo because there is animal signs. Also, I wanted to add that there is a parent holding their child up so their son could see the other living creature behind the fence. I also believe that it might be a cage model to use later on but instead of a person an actual animal can live in it.
Alexis AK,JDHS (AK)
So what is going on my assumption is that they are saying humans are the most dangers creatures as the destruction we can cause a fun and quick example, knowing this by zooming into the background it appears to be some school tour at the zoo or some part, with the labels and stuff in the background. this could be recent too as if you look on the table a small rectangular reflective item is down there so it could be recent as that seems very similar to a phone. a brief and easy way to say my assumption, a class is taking a tour at the zoo demonstrating animals the question may have been asked what maybe the most dangers and this is a simple and fun way to show it with not just the school but the community as well.
Daniel JD (AK)
the prson was famois from doing some thing so they want and see the prson and stuff and he was just in a exibit and he was famoms about some thing and stuff.
Reilly Sutak (JDHS)
I imagine this is like a zoo and a teacher is taking her class there and they saw a guy just chilling. That is the only logical thing I can think of because of the pathway is similar to zoo pathways. He looks fairly happy though.
Debrah Debbie (Woodside CA)
This could possibly be in a zoo because of the background. Also that is a usual field trip for kids now-a-days. But that would be weird if a man was presented at a zoo.
joseph jd (juneau)
i think it is a brake room so when the workers get tired they can take a brake in a glass house. so there boss can take there time off there working time. why i say this is he look happy and he look hot so he took shirt to cool off.
Annika (41 Shaw ave ,Babylon NY)
I think it's a field trip because there an adult in the group and one of the kids has a bart simson lunch box. Maybe the place is a park with a lake or pool so that's why the dude isn't wearing a shirt.
Lilian (SMS)
I guess this guy is in a zoo, trying to be funny and I also believe that he set up the whole thing. I also think that this guy did ask permission, because he would have been kicked out already.
megan (sms)
In this picture there is a guy that is living in a house that is clear. I think the guy lives in a zoo or a park because behind the kids and the teacher there is trees and an animal house. The kids might be on a field trip because the kids have lunch boxes and coats.
Brianna C. (Stewart Middle School)
This picture is mostly about a guy that lives in an all glass house that is all one room. Most of the people in the photograph probably think it is weird because nobody is understanding why he is living in a glass "container." This is really weird to me because it looks like he lives at the zoo and he is just like an animal you would look at in the zoo. He might act different than normal people and that might be why they have him closed up or in a are to where he can't mess with people. This is actually pretty cool because it's like he is always camping but he's in his house.
Ashten (SMS)
I think that the man is crazy and they put him behind a glass like an animal or he just lives their and did't have enufe walls to put all the way around him of he is just doing this just to be fuuny but you can see in the back round that there are branches and vines so he might be at the zoo and the kides are on a viled trip to see him
shyann (sms)
I think what is going on in this picture is the kids could be on a field trip and when they were walking through the woods because he could be in a class box to show the kids things and talk to them about things and ask them questions.
Don (sms)
So what I think is going on is the guy is locked up in a cage/glass container and they make him look like an animal to teach kids that we are an animal. But, the kids looking at him are surprised to see someone in the glass container and they think it is funny that he is trapped.
Margo (SMS)
In this picture there are a group of kids outside of what looks like a man's house, but the house is weird. The man lives in a rectangular shape house but with glass walls. I think that he is working at an exotic place where people can come visit him and ask questions, it looks like that might be his real home because from what I can see he has all the stuff to live.
Jesse (Sms)
I think there is a wild person and its at a zoo and they children are looking at him and smiling and yeah that's what i think.

this man wanted to live in a zoo so he could feel what is would be like to be an animal or he just went there for fun and wanted to be in there alone with his shirt off dont know why but its his life now was this dude friendly or not
Meghan (SMS)
In this picture a man that looks in his 20's is sitting on a couch, smiling to children at a class window. He looks like he lives there because of the clothes and pictures. In the back you can see a tour guide or teacher behind the children so, it might be a field trip. In the background it looks like trees and vines behind the children. I think the kids are blind and they are visiting him as a animal, because of the caging and box he lives in.
Arianna Valenti (Watchung Hills)
In this picture a group of kids, likely on a school field trip, are looking at a man in a room with glass on two sides. I’m not exactly sure what the man is doing in there, maybe he is famous.
Brennan (SMS)
I think that the man in the cage is crazy and they locked him up like an animal so people come and visit him so he won't be lonely.
Jace (SMS)
They must think the guy is an animal because of his acts and he is in a glass container. If you look in the background there is vines and branches and it looks like a zoo.
Hailey c (Whrhs)
In this picture it looks as though these children are looking at this man as though he is in a zoo and maybe to make sure that people understand what it would be like to be a caged animal. It looks as if these children are on a class trip. In the back there is a railway with information placks. The man seems amused and comfortable where he is.
Ryan W (WHRHS)
This picture might be like an example of what a human zoo exhibit would be like if we had human zoos
Oscar Sucre (Watchung Hills Regional High School)
It looks like there is a class of kids observing a man who is acting insane or is just a crazy man in a box. I can tell it's a class by all the kids and a teacher
Sedef R (WHRHS)
This seems to be a human exhibit at a zoo and the kids are amused. It is a way to show human life
Chloe B (WHRHS)
Its a human exhibit at a zoo or something.
Aaliyah B. (Warren, NJ)
A man is in a human exhibit and students are there on a trip
Sean A. (whrhs)
A man seems to be sitting in a room while children and a teacher watch him. Might be a zoo exhibit for humans.
Aditya Loganathan - WHRHS (WHRHS)
In this picture I see a group of kids looking through a window at a man on a couch. Im not really sure what is going on in this picture. I also see that the man is in a small room, and there isn't any flooring on the ground.
Annabel (WHRHS)
This photo depicts several enthusiastic children looking through a clear glass window towards a man, lying on a couch, smiling back at the children. Given the lack of context, I can only somewhat predict that this is some sort of display or form of art with a deeper message.
Brendan (Whrhs)
It is like a bunch of kids on a field trip to c this man in a box without a shirt as if it is a heated little home or something.
Senior Class (Waterloo, Ontario)
We see a shirtless man at what looks like a zoo (his shirt is on the ground). Perhaps the man is not meant to be there. However, he may be part of an art exhibit at the zoo as the human subject. We noticed the floor in the room is the same as the grass outside and there is a "white picket fence" outside of the window. Isaac said he may be advertising a "small house".
Patrick C. (WHRHS)
I think that this man is a rehabilitation center for criminals or something else, and the children are there on a field trip to witness what it’s like. I think it’s most likely in Europe somewhere because it just doesn’t seem like something to take place in America.
John S (Warren)
Looks like some dude is chillin in a glass box while a bunch of kids probably on a field trip check out what he’s doing.
Maia B (Warren, NJ)
In this photo there is a shirtless man inside a glass room outdoors. Children and a teacher are observing him. The “crazy” expression on his face hints that he might be put in there for the safety of the children. This could be an experiment to see the effects of isolation on a person for a long duration of time. This could be a learning experience for the children to observe a man who has been trapped from the outside world and to see its effects on his behavior.
Juhee (nj WH)
I think this is an experiment where humans bring are being treated like animals. The man looks like he is going crazy. There are kids looking into the glass. It looks like the kids are on a field trip since an adult is also there.
Festus (Juneau AK)
I agree legitness
Juliana whrhs (New Jersey)
It’s a human exhibit In a zoo where the kids on w scholl trio get to watch a person living in an enclosures and how they act
ANASTASIA BENC (WHRHS)
this looks like a human zoo and showing little kids how people live when theyre older
Gabriela S. (WHRHS)
It looks like an outdoor museum. The people watching look like they are on a field trip to look at this crazy museum. The guy is probably trying to represent our generation of having the reputation of being lazy and not being able to get a job.
Junior Class (Waterloo)
We see a "crazy" man shirtless and smiling. We think it is someone's sunroom that is beside a national park and some kids on a class trip (there's a teacher or principal in the group) and they happened to see him so they went to see what he was doing. It could also be a realistic mannequin inside a room.
David (Auburn)
I think that London Zoo employee Paul Hutton is watched by school children at his human exhibit enclosure at the zoo yesterday. "Room with a Zoo" is a custom built enclosure, designed to resemble a human's natural habitat. It is to give visitors the opportunity to learn more about the effect humans have on the world around them. (Photo Source: Shanghai Daily/By Matt Dunham)
Danny Pritchard (Souderton)
I believe this picture is showing a social experiment or art project of humans being in a zoo like animals. I believe this because behind the kids looking in the glass you can see bars with bored, probably depicting animals that are in the cages around them. I also believe this because in the back you may see a mother lifting up her child to see the animals down below. Another pointer is that the little kids looking in the glass have an adult or "tour guide" with them, which is what usually happens when little kids go to large social settings as a school. You notice that the place the man is "living in" is very small and doesn't have many supplies to live or be happy, so its probably with an organization like PETA to put in perspective how we treat zoo animals.
Boisterous Bards (Duluth MN)
We think this is an art installment at a zoo. It looks like there's a group of first graders staring in at a person like he's an animal. The art might be making us think about the treatment of animals in a new way.
keegan and cheris (washiton)
We think that the zoo is doing something with a famos guy because we see gates like at the zoo
Lucy and Kimberlyn (washington)
We infer that there is a class taking a field trip to a zoo because be hind the crowd or class there are bars to a cage, that looks like it holds some sort of animal. We have no idea what the crazy man sitting in the human habitat is doing. But we infer he did a crime or is being put there against his will .
makenna boyne (SMS)
i see a guy on a couch and i see a table and some pictures on the wall. there is a elementary school out side the glass box. I think that it is a famous person and kids are on a field trip and they don't want them to get in so that is why he is in a glass box.
Harlyn (usa)
I think that he is populer becaus there are tons of pepole.
Venny and Matthew (WA)
We infer that the kids are trying to get inside for something from the man. We think this because the kids are banging on the window.
kaprece (whasgton)
i think the kids are wormier why this gay is in there
kaylina and tony (WA)
We think that he lives near the zoo because hes inside a tiny house or there's kids looking at him taking a brake from the zoo because why would they stoke him.
Braelyn, olivia, And Lindsey (Vancouver Washington )
We all think that a man is at the zoo and there are kid and parents there too. But as you can see he is in a couch, table, some beautiful flowers, and a coat rack. He looks like he is in heaven. As you can see the people are watching him corious. I infer he has cancer or is sick and is spending his last days in the sun... or in the shade. And he is seing his favorite animal for the last time before e passes. And he is looking at the people with a smile on his face because if they are happy he is happy too.
jenny and seriah (washingtion)
We think that the children are at a field trip to the zoo and they saw a mysterious guy at the zoo and were exited and curious because in the picture there are kids faces squished against the glass window.
Lenneah and hailey (washington)
We think he is a exsibit at the zoo because there is metal bars in the back with zoo manuals on them
Natalie and Julissa (washinton)
We think that he's in the glass cage because he's showing an example of an animal to the kids.
Savanna (wms)
Another day, all I do is sit in my exhibit and have other people look at me. I volunteer to do this but it’s getting really boring. Now I know how the animals feel. If you haven’t got it by now, I’m a guy in a zoo. Yes it sounds crazy but it’s true. I’m a living experiment on how and animal would feel, even though I, myself, am not one. People think all animals should be released due to boredom. Other people think that animals should stay in captivity so they don’t go instinct. I think animals should be released if they are safe and stay if they are endangered. In the picture I’m just chilling but very bored. You can tell because i’m just sitting there. You can tell this is a zoo because on the right side there are names of the animals. Also in the left there is a little fenced in area where I could walk around. This is in Iowa if you ever want to go visit it.
TUB (st.louis)
I think the children are planning a surprise on the man, or the children were going on a field trip. Its hard to tell.
Elijah McCollum (missouri)
what I think is a man in a window because its hot and the kids or on a field trip.
ashton (sms)
i guess that they are at a historical place and he has snuck into one of the settings or he works there and they caught him on his break or something?
Alphonzo (sms)
What I think is going on is that a bunch of kids took a field trip to an art class or something. People are going around and drawing the stuff around them. I see people around giong to different places and it looks like this guy is in a freezing position so people can look and draw.
charlotte (sms)
In this picture it looks like there is an older man inside of the glass house and children outside. Where they are it is cold because the little kids are wearing heavy jackets, although the man inside the house has his shirt off and his jacket is on the floor. I'd imagine they can take turns going in the house to get warm. The face the man is making indicates that he is happy because of his big smile.
Brayden (SMS)
This man is living in a glass home and it looks like there is a class visiting this man. The kids look happy and it looks like a zoo. He could work there as well as live there. Could it make it closer and he could possibly have no home.
cadence (sms)
It seems like the children are on a field trip to the zoo because if you look in the back there is an exhibit for animals. They have a human in a glass home being seen by students. Are they having people on display too?
Mr. Morgan's Class (Ohio)
Is this at a zoo? We see a railing in the background , netting, signs that look like they have information on them, an unusual tree in the background, a mother lifting up her child to see what could be animals? Is the man on display? He seems to be an enclosed place with glass so people can see him.
jacob (sms)
I think the man is a very famous person and everyone wants to see him and get his autograph. They want him to kiss their baby's head and he is very nervous about this. You can tell because his face is really really red and he just looks nevous and embarrassed.
Georgia (SMS)
The adult locked the little kids out of their small playroom so he can torturing the little kids. Why I think this is the way he's looking at the little kids. Look at how they are lined up. I think it is on the other side of the world in an adoption agency type city.
Camden Leslie (webster groves MO)
It's really hot out and the guy with no shirt is teasing the kids that they can't go in the shade with him. The kid are their because they are on a class field trip to the park.
Tatianna (sms)
In this picture there are little kids on a field trip to a glass house. There is a man in the glass house looking at the kids smiling. In the glass house there is some pictures and also a little table with flowers and a coffee mug with some magazines. Also, there is a rack for coats, hats and other items. One thing that I am worrying about is, there is no window so he can breath, because it looks like it is summer time. The sun is out and the man is wearing no shirt.
Gianna (Pennsylvania )
It seems as though the children are visiting what looks to be some sort of outdoor sculpture garden. I can infer this from what looks to be trails and signs in the background. I think the guy could be the artist or sculptor posing within his exhibit.
Beni Class (Glendale Heights IL)
-Looks like the children are outside. There's a man in an outdoor patio and the kids are trying to learn what their teacher is saying, but the kids are distracted because of the man's appearance. It's not helping them because he doesn't have a shirt on.
SP (WGSD)
I think that the man is super happy for some reason. I think that he is a famous man and someone saw him in his house and brought a lot of people to the man's window. I think the man looks happy because he is getting a lot of attention from the people. I think the man likes to be the center of attention. I also think he likes showing off.
MC (WGSD)
Did a class go on a field trip and see this? Is that where he lives? Did he grow up living there? Did he build that structure by himself?If he used natural materials how did he make the paintings,flower pot and couch? It looks like they went to the Zoo. It looks like the man is happy. I also think that he was maybe homeless and does not have a lot of money and kids watching him are maybe donating money.
tv (sms)
i think the kids are on a field trip and the man siting in the chair is doing a challenge. The challenge is living in a glass house,
Natalia Vega (Indiana )
I think that the man is very happy. I aslso thinknhe was a homeless man who was made a home. I predict the children and teachers raise money for him to get a home. I also think that they are trying to show how animals feel captured in a home thats very little.
Maria Paredes (Souderton HS)
It looks like he built this to show people the exposure animals go through. Since it looks like there is a zoo, and he is in that little house thing representing his normal style of life. Like the animals who are in exposure every day of their regular lives. How they have no personal coverage because people will always be looking at them like these little kids watching him showing his regular daily life. This is some sort of experiment for people as kids look at him excitedly as they would watch an animal in the zoo.
zach campbell (souderton high school)
I think the man is showing what is like for animals that are forced to live in small environments when they are put into the zoo. All the kids are watching the man but I don't think they understand what he is trying to demonstrate.
Gaby (Chicago )
The plague has taken so many. The world frozen never to move again. This exhibit at the nature center shows us how quickly it can get us. One moment were perfectly fine reading a magazine, the next you are frozen in time. Of course this isn't a real victim, we all knew that. Yet still we watched in amazement. We were very happy to know that the illness hasn't taken us. Some weren't as lucky as me though. Others couldn't watch, it was just to painful. Reminders of their family and friends layed all around. Even though we were the last survivors were we lucky? Even with all our losses.
Casey Rech (Souderton Area High School)
I think that this man is performing an experiment, that he is doing in public. There is a large group of children with an adult watching the man. I believe he is conducting an experiment using only the necessities that he needs.
Amber Catagnus (Philadelphia, Pennsylvania)
I think that this is an experiment to show kids what it would be like to be a animal in the zoo. Since animals live in small spaces most of the time, kids should see what it is like for them living in small spaces. The man in the picture is doing his own thing while people watch him, which is like people watching animals in a zoo.
Min Ponnya (Gainesville high school)
I think that the students are looking are on a field trip to a zoo and they are looking at what seems to be a snake from the refelection from the bottom right students.
Ashley Jordan (Fresno)
He must be a zookeeper in the break room. This is because in the background there are trees and the pictures on the wall make the room look like a nice break room as well as the coffee mug.
Nicki Ruthaivilavan (Bangkok, Thailand)
We think this is at a zoo, because in the background there are signs that tell what species the animals are. Also, there are trees in the background, and the man is in a "cage" and kids are looking at him, just like they do to animals in a zoo. We wonder if this is his forever home - will he stay there forever? Where does he sleep? Does he have a toilet? Can he take a bath?
the11yroldauthor (St.Mary,Wilmington,NC)
To me it looks like a class is visiting this guy kind of like an animal in the zoo, with glass walls to look through, seperating them from him. Maybe this guy beat a world record and they're observing how he lives, or maybe it's some type of protest...
Elise R (Pennsylvania)
In the picture, I think that it is an experiment with a man being treated like a zoo animal. At the zoo, the animals are pent up and don't have a say in them being there. In the picture, I think that the man is showing what it is like to be looked at all day while he is doing his own business.
Ana Paula (Guadalajara, Mexico)
I believe this is a human exhibition in a zoo or a contemporary museum, and the kids are happily observing the man. I'm pretty sure this might be a zoo since in the background you can observe a mother lifting up her kid to look at the possible animal that is behind the bars.
Mr.Harris ENGLISH 1 (Union City, CA)
Marc - He is a zookeeper on a break. He is half dressed. Ralf/Larry - American. (We see Thomas the tank engine and Bart lunch box) Ralf - its a kind of museum, the man an exhibit of some kind Marc - its a human zoo! Larry - its some kind of field trip. could be a performance. (I see a group and kids with an adult who might be the teacher)
maggie (Wilmington N.C)
The children in the background look like they are on a feild trip at some sort of zoo. The children are observing the man in the room
Kaitlyn Gray (PA)
This picture looks like some type of science experiment to see how a human would act if it was treated like an animal in a zoo. I think this because the person is in a small enclosure being watched by a ton of children and adults.
Nicki Ruthaivilavan (Bangkok, Thailand)
This is a good idea. Some of us think this would be a better experiment if they did it with a younger person to see how they grow up in an enclosure. If this is an experiment, we wonder if anyone is collecting data and observations. Also, in science experiments you collect data multiple times. I wonder what they are doing over and over to this man? Also, when we did experiments with crayfish, we let them go back to their natural habitat. Do you think they will they let this man go?
Katelyn AOSE (New Jersey)
I never thought about it that way! Interesting observation...
bob (cbkhcsocdkj)
a man is half dressed and is homeless and a group of school kids are looking at him. I think he is homeless because he is ls on the grass school kids because there is a older person that seems to be the teacher. Other details I notice in the photo include hoodies on a hang rack, clothes on the grass, flowers on the table, pictures of out door things.
Riley's Rabble Rousers (Duluth, MN)
We think that the kids are viewing an exhibit about a celebrity. We think this is an exhibit because there are a group of kids and an adult looking in on a glass enclosure. They look like students on a field trip. There are also railings with information posted in the background. It looks like there is something funny going on outside of the frame. One student thought this could be a human zoo!
Grove (Minnesota)
This image depicts a young, healthy white male in his mid-20s relaxing on his couch in his portable house while young school children and their chaperone look in through the side glass window. The setting seems to be in a zoo because of the many plants, exhibit information boards, and netting which could house animals such as monkeys and chimpanzees. The children seem joyous as evidenced by their smiles on their faces and curiosity in their eyes. The young man who is an extrovert seems pleased that he has an audience. Juxtaposed in the back is an image of a parent holding a child looking at the animals just as these school children are looking at the male seated comfortably on his coach. Perhaps this picture is showing a new type of housing for people who cannot afford larger living quarters.
harper (N.C Wilmington)
I think that the kids are learning what people do on there day off of work.
Israel Caro (Aurora, CO)
This is definitely in the zoo because of the signs in the back, anyone can recognize the zoo signs. I believe this is a public experiment, they are showing would it would be like if humans were in enclosed spaces like the animals in the zoos and the kids seem to be making the kids confused and makes them laugh
Diego R (Guadalajara)
This is the photo of a man in a fake zoo exhibit, who is being visited by a group of schoolchildren. The location of this picture can be deduced from the background, where a woman is showing her child an exhibit that looks like a habitat. In that habitat is also a square information display that commonly teaches information about animals at the zoo. Since a "human" exhibit is not something common in zoos, we can tell that this display is meant to be taken as a joke. Finally, you can deduce these are schoolchildren led by their teacher because they are carrying backpacks (something common to all schoolchildren) and are too many in number or diversity to be the woman's children. Something else you can see is that this display is set up to have common articles in a human household: sweaters, flowers, paintings/pictures, and a cup.
MG (la verne california )
It looks like its an science experiment to see how one person can do like what there movements are and how they act in that tiny living space for however long the experiment is for.
Jimmy Tran (Hinkley High School)
The children are observing the man that is inside a small living room like place. The young children are seeing how he is living inside that cage like other animals. By scrutinizing, you can see that the background has signs and fences and it is telling us that this place is in a zoo. The man could possibly be in a cage and being observed by many random people for an experiment. He is enclosed in a room where people can observe what he is doing.
Diego Fernandez (Guadalajara)
A guy seems to be surrounded by a large group of spectators whilst contained in a box. It's obviously man-made and I assume it's part of a museum or a zoo due to the amount of spectators present.
Liam D (PA)
I see a man in what looks like a small living room with walls of glass, perhaps at a zoo, being observed by a class, probably elementary, maybe on a clas strip. At first, I thought this might be at a wax figure museum type thing, but why would they have wax figures outside? that's when I noticed that it couldn't be that, soI thought again and it looks like a zoo in the background
Mariana (heaven)
It is a man that is in the zoo. Kids are watching him. I know its the zoo because of the reflection of the background in the window. I also realized that all the kids look the same age.
Carlie (Guadalajara)
I think that the man is some sort of social experiment, or some sort of magic trick. I say this because the crowd are children, and this picture appears to have been taken at a park or zoo. I also notice that the man is shirtless, which makes the picture seem more like an act. However, as the picture seems to be taken in a zoo, it is likely that the man is a sort of display, like the other animals. I don´t believe it is some sort of protest against caged animals, as the man is smiling and his "cage" seems pretty nice.
Karla V (Mexico)
In this image a man is inside a crystal box, children are observing him. Because of the crystal box and the surroundings of it I can assume that it is an exhibit in the zoo. He is like the other animals in the zoo, in his natural habit and doing whatever humans do.
Fermin N (Mexico)
The image is representing a guy inside a glass box. While kids are able to look inside the box and observe the shirtless man. There seems to be an older person behind the children. This seems to be in a zoo, and the children seem to be students, meaning that the woman behind them is most probably their teacher. This display might be a representation of another species of animals that isn't part of a normal zoo, which is a human being. Based on the diversity and the magazines being written in English is probably taken place somewhere in the United States.
Hana (Mexico)
The kids are at a museum and they are looking at a man in his "natural habitat"
Sierrah Wiszneski (souderton )
This is a picture of a man who is being looked at/observed. It looks like he is being observed at by a bunch of kids. What I see is a class little room where a guy is on the couch chilling and looking at the kids staring at him. Looking at this picture makes me find out that he probably built that himself in the grass and he is probably seeing what the kids would think and everything.
monica donayre (Guadalajara, Jal.)
This man is in a cage in a zoo, maybe as an "art exhibition" or to make a point. They might be hoping to make the people realize how strange it is to be observing live beings for other's entertainment. In the back, one can see some the cages of the zoo where the animals probably are.
Lo (Mexico)
What is happening is that a man is sitting on a couch inside of a small glassed-door room which is located in a zoo. A group of kids is looking at him curiously while the man is smiling. I know they are in the zoo because of the background of the children and he is obviously smiling, it could be him faking a smile. I think this was a protest against the caging of animals in the zoo. They used a man to demonstrate what it would be like if people were also placed inside of the zoo for everyone to see.
Charlotte Walker (Mexico)
This seems to be a zoo, where they feature each culture, and the kinds of people there are. I think this because, it shows a man in his home setting, which may be a college boy, because he is not wearing a shirt and he is messy. I also notice that he is looking at the children who are staring at him, which could mean he may be real.
Flor (Guadalajara)
This is a picture of a man who is famous for his living style and his house and that is why the kids are all watching at him. I know this because the man is living in a very small area and it is outside, which is why people are intrerested in looking at him
Gisell (Hinkley high school)
I think that this man is trying to show how we treat animals through different eyes because although we may not see any harm, it can be an issue for animals, it can be claustrophobic for them to be in closed areas since they come from the wild which is an open area.This shows a representations on how animals are treated and shows a man being watched by kids and other people instead of animals being watched by people.
Arlet (Hinkley)
There is a man sitting outside surrounded by glass walls. There are children outside observing him and what he does. Maybe the man is doing some sort of project that requires him to do something he is not used to. I think he may not be used to this because of the fact he is outside and everyone is watching him live his life. Normally, people aren't observed on an everyday basis.
Gwenyth P (.)
I feel like this could be a social experiment of some sort. I think this because why would his "house" be open for others to look in. Also, the kids are observing him as if they need the information they're getting off this is very important.
Daisy M (Hinkley)
I see a shirtless man inside a big glass box. It is outside and in the middle of no where because there is nothing else you can see except for children looking inside and grass, but nothing more. I think that this can somewhat relate to zoo animals. They have a small place to be in and are caged up. They are there to entertain people which is also what this guy is doing. Therefore, I think this has something to do zoo animals.
Kylie (Jefferson High School)
I see a guy surrounded in what seems to be a living room of sorts. There seem to be children outside the glass observing him. In the background, there seem to be fences or bars that could be from a zoo. I imagine that this could be some kind of social experiment of some sort for these children. For me, I assumed that it could be to show what it is life for animals in a zoo. This can be assumed by the bars in the background and the man's surroundings. My other thought was that this could be a social experiment to show differences between different cultures. For example, this man could represent how Americans are often portrayed by other cultures or just what "Americans" are like in general.
Layla (Indiana)
This is an image of a man who is being observed. He is being observed by young children. They are seeing how they human species lives, along with all of the other animals at the zoo. You can understand this as you see the shirtless man in a glass box. Looking at the the nature in the background, you can tell that is it man made. Which will draw you to the conclusion that this project is placed in a zoo.
Zaira Sotelo (Hinkley Highschool )
I can infer this is a zoo like place because of some small details in this picture. For one, there is a butterfly portrait hanging from the wall. There are also smaller pictures which look like a penguin and a lion. On the table, I also see a book that is opened to a page with a picture of some sort of animal or insect. This ties back into the main idea because in zoo's they have different species of animals, and in this picture they also have a variety of animals.
Gabe (JHS)
I think the picture is of kids watching a man at a zoo while he laughs at them. I see a zoo sign in the background and the man is in a glass cage, so that proves he is at a zoo. The enclosure he is in is a house with art on the wall,a phone, and flowers to represent his habitat.
lil bobby (jeff)
I think the guy is trying to show the children how animals feel when they're in the zoo. The man has a choose to be there, animals do not. The guy is showing kids how it would be if we were animals
David (New York City)
The man is in the waiting room of a cardiologist's office. His shirt is off because he is anxious about the upcoming examination. The flowers are from his girlfriend who couldn't be there with him. The waiting room has children in one of the walls to promote hope, where there should be none. The little fenced-in on the other side represents heaven. The cardiologist's examination room is at the end of this area. The cardiologist sits on a cloud, holding lightening bolts. Behind the back wall, the man's mother is weeping. The audience is behind the fourth wall. They have each paid $50 for a seat. There are 50 seats. The man and the cardiologist will split the proceeds with the venue management: 20%, 35%, 45%.
Hannah (JHS)
What is going on in this picture? I feel like the man in the box is trying to portray what it is like for animals enclosed in small areas at zoos for people's entertainment. What do you see that makes you say that? It appears that there is a man in a small "room" enclosed by glass walls. There are also children watching him. What more can you find? I found that everyone photographed looks super happy for some reason.
Mara (Hinkley High School )
this pictures shows that this man is somewhere random and that he enjoys that people stop and look at him
John Cena (West Newberry, Massachusetts )
I think he is trying to feel how animals feel when they're put into cages and people are crowding around to see him. He also is smiling so it looks like he's having fun in there with everyone seeing him.
Layla (Indiana)
In this image, a man is being observed in a zoo. The children are observing him, like they do with all of the animals. You can tell that this is what is going on, because of the surrounding children, and the man made natural habitat. I believe that this is a very important for the children, so that they can realize what the human race really is.
Skylene (JHS)
I think that he is portraying a human exhibit at a zoo because he is in the glass box with his shirt off and his clothes everywhere. It looks like that the children were taking a lot of interest in what he was doing and what he looked like. The children seem amazed in a way. I think he is just showing how some humans live.
Stacie (HHS)
I agree with this post. I think the man is in an exhibit at the zoo because behind the kids there are other zoo exhibits. I think this exhibit is showing how people live, and how it would feel to be an animal in this situation.
Olivia (Jeff)
In this picture I see little kids looking at a man on a couch. I think this image shows kids looking in on the adult world. Its showing what living as an adult looks like. I see clothes on the floor, coffee, shirtless man on a couch. Maybe the picture is showing what living as an adult man looks like.
SEW (Jeff)
What I think is going on this picture is that is like an exhibit, almost like a zoo. I say this because There is a teacher or older adult with a whole bunch of younger kids like they would be on a field trip. They are viewing what is going on in the glass box. The more i look i can see in the box is that he is trapped and he is just chilling and all the little kids are watching him.
Camilla Davis (Hinkley High School)
I agree, with you because, the man is in a place like the animals are, and he is happy at the moment, but he is trying to show kids, or see what it feels like to be locked up, and not choose where you can go and who looks at you. The reason why I think this is because the kids are just looking at him, which means that anyone can look at him.
Alina (Newark )
What is going on in this picture? When I look at this picture I see a shirtless man laying on a couch in a tiny "room". Two walls of this room are just huge windows and you can look inside through them. On one of the walls are children standing and looking inside. A few of them look excited but also confused. They look like kindergarten kids. The man is smiling and does not look distracted or annoyed of them looking in his room. Maybe the teachers want to show the children how their life could not end and this man is a epitome for that.
Itzel A (Hinkley High School)
I think that in this picture they are treating that man in the glass box like an animal from the zoo. They are most likely seeing how a person reacts if they are treated like a caged animal on display. I wonder what they will do after they are done with they're study.
Paula T (Guadalajara)
1. There is a man sitting on a couch looking at a crowd of young children. Looks like an experiment due to the children's smiling faces. 2. The children's smiles and the glass separating the man and the children. 3. The grass inside the room looks synthetic.
Butterscotch (jeff)
I feel like he's in the box so it can look like a room and the kids go their so they could see what its like to be adult.
Emarald (JHS)
I think this picture is some sort of protest held against taking animals from their natural habitats just to lock them up in cages for the entertainment of others.
Oscar Gutierrez (HHS)
The exhibits in the background of this picture all appear to be normal all but this one. Judging by the railing there is a high probability of this being a zoo. When most children get asked the question what is the deadliest animal on Earth most kids would typically answer with a lion or a tiger maybe even a great white shark. This exhibit may be here to show the kids that us humans are the animals who take the most life and destroy the most habitats. This cage could be here to show that we humans are dangerous animals. The only difference being that the other animals in this zoo don't choose to be here.
ND Life SKills (Burlington, ON, Canada)
Thank you for giving us something more to think about @Oscar Gutierrez. You have provided us with another perspective and generated a new topic of discussion. We did not even consider that this could be a statement about humans being the most dangerous of animals. Thank you for sharing your insight with us.
Sarah A (Hinkley High School)
There is a class of children and a teacher at the zoo. You can see that it's the zoo because of the background. This image is showing that a man inside the glass compartment in his copy cat of his "natural habitat" is being watched and is being put on display. The meaning behind the image is to show how animals are kept into places they shouldn't be in and used as entertainment.
Itzel R (Hinkley High School)
This is a shirtless man that is in an enclosed glass ¨cage¨ of some sort. This is happening at a zoo during the day, somewhere chilly. What is happening is that there are children standing outside of the ¨cage¨ staring at the man. Some look confused, while others look excited. I think that the man is trying to show that animals should be free and in their natural habitat because they´re not meant to be enclosed in a cage for others to see. They should be free and running wild, not put up for display.
Iliana D. (Hinkley High School)
I agree with you since it was said that this is a zoo it can be inferred that it is a sort of protest for the animals who are caged for entertainment.
Oliver Villena (Hinkley High School)
The man is putting on a stunt on a zoo, maybe a traveling artist of sorts. I infer this because the floor in the room he is in is non-existent, meaning that the room is most likely not stuck to the ground, giving it the ability to be moved.
Rogelio Guterrez (Hinkley High School)
I think that the man on the couch is either famous or important because all the kids look happy and excited to see him, plus the man looks happy to see them as well so maybe they're fans.
Khasmine (HinkleyHS)
what's going on in this picture is that people are staring into a "cage"(i guess you would say) and observing the man in the cage, as if he's an animal. these kids are acting as if it's amazing, like seeing an actual tiger in a cage or something. it's probably symbolizing zoo animals.
Bonsitu (Hinkley High School)
I think this is a social experiment to see how others would react to seeing a human in an exhibit similar to animals at the zoo. I'm assuming this is at a zoo because the enclosure he's in could be seen as a cage. Also, in the background there is railing and a plaque similar to ones seen at a zoo. The guy in the picture looks like an everyday person, and his surroundings are similar to a living from in a person's house. At real zoos, they sometimes try to make the enclosure look like an animal's normal habitat. With the little kids pressed on the glass, I think they're in awe.
Antonio L. (Hinkley High School)
It looks like the man is doing an experiment where he has no communication with the outer world to see how captivated animals feel.
Janeth (Hinkley High school)
What I see in this picture is a man alone who is sitting on a couch, while kids are observing. He probably is there so he feels how animals feel when they are in their cages sitting nothing to do. The only things they can do is use the things around them and make them useful. Just like this guy who has a magazine and kids watching him. I think he's there to show kids that you don't need as much stuff because just with the things you have are fine. I think there is a lot of things coming from this image.
Amanda Quintana (Hinkley )
It look like this guy is making funny faces at the kids making them laugh and the kids wants to see what he is doing so they are all against the window. It seems that he might be famous because he is in this box thing and everyone is outside probably not allowed in.
Dorian (Hinkley High School)
As I look at the picture I see a shirtless man looking at the crowd of kids gaze upon him in wonder. The man is in a glass box with a bunch of things that make this look like its someone's home has been shrunk down to the size it is at now. The man might represent an animal of some kind with the shirt off also his shoes. His messy room might represent the cage that the zoo might keep their animals. If you look close you might think zoo when he has a magazine about animals open for others to see.
Vanessa (Hinkley )
I think that the guy is there to portray humans because in the background where the children are you can see what looks like zoo inhabits. Also i noticed that the man made him self at home because he has no shirt on and is laying on the couch and this could show how humanity likes to relax.
Luis (Mexico)
I this picture you can see how they are showing the life of animals with the example of a human. How animals live a peaceful life. This man is in a good environment.
Ale M (Mexico)
In this picture, I see a group of kids going on a school trip because I can see a teacher on the side. I think that what is happening in this picture is that they are showing the students how the animals live in the zoo since there is a man inside a small room and on the outside it looks as if it was on a zoo. There is a net on the outside as there is in the zoo.
Frida Gomez (Guadalajara)
I belive they are in a zoo, and one of the atractions is watching a man as if he was an animal. This makes sense because we can see that there are kids looking at him throught a window. I can also see, that there are paintings of animals in the wall.
Justis L (Hinkley High School)
I see a man who seems to be laying on a couch that is in the backyard because of the grass. I also see a lot of people up against the window or glass door and looking inside. To me, it seems like he's in a backyard or a park of some sort because of the grass and how public it looks.
Diego (Hinkley High School)
I think that this is a representation of every day life once your an adult. This could be showing kids that the outside world is not always what it seems, it can be hard but sometimes it can be relaxing as shown in this picture.
Lorenza Gutierrez (Guadalajara)
I think this is a zoo and they are displaying the daily life of a regular human. We can see a shirtless man chilling on the sofa inside a glass room he's smiling at all the little kids and the lady who is probably their teacher. I think this zoo wanted to show humans too because they are animals too.
Monte (JHS)
In the provided photo children are observing a demonstration of the natural habitat of human beings in the middle of a zoo. The man in the photo keeps himself contained in a room that built with windows and walls, away from the outer environment. Behind the children there are railings with contain the animals in their place in the zoo. The man provides a casual view of things man made in the room, everything in the room represents a product of humans.
Emely Munguia (Hinkley High School)
I could peep in the back signs like if it was a presentation, or demonstrating a point. It could be a zoo place. I could tell that there is a class and they are viewing and trying to figure out whats the point of the human in that small place he is inside of. He might be presenting how animals would feel, replacing animals with a human and seeing how they'd feel. Proving a point in showing students reality and how we should think of animals as well.
Maritza (Guadalajara, Jalisco)
I think this is a human exhibit and I think the guy inside is the kids teacher. I think its the looks on the kids faces and on the guy that makes me infer that they know each other. I can else tell he's very unorganized by the clothes on the floor.
DJ Norment (Hinkley High)
I think this man could be famous and all the kids on the outside could be his fans. I think that because the man and the kids all look happy.
jorge z (Guadalajara)
it is an experiment of a human exhibit in a zoo to see peoples reactions.
Jeremias Cañedo (Nuevo Toledo en Puebla)
They are on the zoo and the tooked the school kids for a school excursion ad they have a humans as en exhibiton for an animal. The kids are looking through the glass and there is no more to see than a human. The person is laughing of watching the kids astonished.
Edgar (Hinkley High School)
In this picture I see what it looks like a field trip of some sorts. Some people might say the man is teasing them but I doubt it because the kids and the teacher are smiling. My clue is, he volunteered to do this because no other man would put themselves in a glass box.
Ignacio G. (Mexico)
This picture looks like a man is laughing at the kids out of the room because he is possibly in a zoo inside a room laying down in a sofa. The details I saw that made me think that about the man is that the man inside is laughing and the little kids outside are closely watching the guy do things.
Julieta V. (Mexico)
I think this is some kind of zoo because I can see people taking pictures, signs that give facts about the animal you are looking at and I can see a big net, probably meant to keep some animals inside. I think that in this zoo they are also showing a human as one of the animals because he seems to be kept in a cage with elements to recreate the natural habitat of humans, just like they would recreate the habitat of any other animal.
Meli (Jefferson)
In this image I see a room in the middle of what looks like a zoo because of the background. The room has big wide windows with children looking at the guy in the room as if he was a mysterious animal. The room looks like it was just placed on the ground because of the grass its on .
marco (usa)
i think that this man is at a zoo to show how animals how they feel when they are trapped in a cage, because if you think about it we are all animals or "mammals''
CarolynV (Rockville MD)
I think the picture shows a class of kids with their teacher looking in on a man who lives in one the "tiny" homes. He's in his living room with two glass sides to the room. The kids are standing outside on a deck looking in at him in his living room
Myleigh (Jefferson)
In this picture you see a man in a class cage in the middle of a zoo. In this picture the items you see in this cage is a coat holder, couch, coffee table and pictures. The kids are acting as the man is part of a zoo exhibit since he is in his own cage being looked at.
Kalen (Jefferson High School)
This picture shows a man inside a containment designed like a house, with what looks like a class observing him from the windows. I think this is an art exhibition and his theme is something along the lines of "connection with nature", due to his enclosure not having a floor, and both long walls being just windows. There is also a small fence outside on the left, perhaps as decoration or a small area outside.
CiaraAOSE (New Jersy)
This picture displays a man in a human exhibit most likely found at a zoo. This man is in one of the many human habitats, a house. This is probably an experiment to show how humans act in their own habitats. It could also be an experiment to see how humans react to being locked in a "cage" and watched at all day, just like animals in the zoo are. Such an experiment would most likely be run by an animal welfare group.
guadalupe (jhs)
I think this man enjoys being caged. he feels as if he's living a life just like animals. he wants to let people/little kids know how it feels. he's giving an example of how it would look like if humans lived in a cage as well. what animals are treated like. How they feel, exc. This man probably cares about the environment and the way people are living. He looks far into the pic like he's interested, he seems happy.
Mia D. (AOSE)
In this image, a man appears to be enclosed in a glass cage. Outside of the windows, many kids are pressed up against the clear glass, observing the man's activity. Judging by the joyful expression on the man's face, it seems as if he is enjoying himself, which leads me to believe that he is not inside of the cage as some sort of punishment. The items inside of the cage, such as a couch and a coat hanger, suggest normal living habits. Perhaps, the children outside of the cage are observing the man's living habits for an experiment. It's almost like a "human zoo".
Ms. Giddings Class (Northport, Maine)
We think it is a presentation for a zoo. The way the room is set up, it looks like it is decorated to look a certain way to look like eye-candy or for the presentation. The man looks extremely happy. We noticed that there were railings and signs for people to read outside of the house that makes it appear to be a zoo.
Juan Cristobal (Guadalajara)
I think this is a museum and it is a human exhibit. The children watching the guy are students and we can see that because of their backpacks and their teacher right behind them.
Emily (Mexico)
It looks like some art exhibit and the man is a part of the art. I think this because of the clothes on the hanger and the fact that its close off. It also looks like there are children on a field trip looking at the exhibit. This looks like the US or Europe because there is a group of diverse people.
Rafael (J)
It looks like a men is inside a box with windows for no reason at all. Therefore all the children outside look with interest, trying to find an answer for why he is in there. I see a rectangular shaped object with a men inside and then children looking though the glass. I can also find some art behind and a table with flowers.
Andres Rodriguez (Nuevo Toledo en Puebla)
It looks like a teacher has taken her students to a field trip to the zoo and this is a picture of what it would look like if a human was inside a cage in the zoo.
Emilio Cano (Nuevo Toledo en Puebla)
I think this picture shows a human exhibit which is showing a man being lazy or currently in vacations. I can infer this from the man's surrounding and how the little kids are observing him as a display.
Esteban G (Guadalajara)
I think that in this picture it looks like if the people are in a zoo and this person is grabbing the people attention because it is really weird that there is a person in a kind of room without his shirt in the zoo. I also notice that this person making the people laugh.
ari (JHS)
it looks like this man is mocking them by giving them stupid looks, so maybe that's what's happening. he is also famous, so this could be portraying "paparazzi".
QuinnG (AOSE)
I think that this is a human exhibit. I know this because there are many children watching a man lounging on the couch. I think they are observing him in his natural habitat.
amaya (jeff)
In the picture i feel it is a display of personal space. I believe the guy in the glass is portraying a celebrity and he is just wanting to display joy and greeting from a distance. this maybe because the artist is trying to explain how everyone needs personal space or their own bubble.
LAAA Yearbook Staff (Los Angeles, CA)
A 1st grade class visits a zoo in New Orleans and while they're exploring around they see a exhibit with a man inside of it. It represents the man wanting to be in nature. Other words human nature is them being at home relaxing, being lazy. I see the kids on the glass looking at this man with excitement and the background looks like they're in a zoo. Other things I can see is that the sofa with the table and coffee represents the human habitat.
kcstewart (lafayette jeffereson high school)
I think this image is trying to show what is feels like to be an animal in the zoo. in the image you can see that this box has different items in it to make the man feel at home, which is equivalent to putting trees and bushes, etc in cages of the different animals to make them feel like they are in their natural home. This image also shows that the man is in the clear box and has no privacy, and all the little children are staring at him with no shirt on, this is trying to portray that animals in the zoo have no privacy and having all these children and their parents screaming and taking pictures makes the animals nervous.
Azariah Hines (hinkley high school )
i agree with you.
Nhu Vo (Hinkley High School)
I agree with a lot of comments and observation made, but I agree with this claim the most because I agree that this man is demonstrating how many zoo animals feel. Behind the students, in the background, I can see that there are railing and trees and bushes. This leads me to believe that this photo does take place in a zoo and that this man is just another exhibit. In addition to that, I believe this photo has been taken recently because I know that there have been many movements and protest against keeping animals in zoos. With my knowledge of the setting and current events, I believe the man's purpose was to show it feels and see how it feels to be a zoo caged animal.
Brianna C (AOSE)
In this picture kids are on a class trip and they are observing the man who is "living" in a greenhouse, or eco friendly enviornment.
Zoe Barton (Jhs)
I think its supposed to represent the beauty of nature but also how we need to be protected from nature and others hence the glass cage.
Josh (Indiana)
From what i see it is showing the daily life of a regular human. Also it could be demonstrating how animals are taken and put in dome for observation and entertaining purposes only.
Abby Edson (AOSE)
In this picture I see a class of young kids with their teacher at the zoo. I also see a shirtless, shoe less man in an enclosed glass room. The reason they probably did this is to show how animals feel when they are in an area where they cannot get out, while thousands of people all have their eyes on them. Now the man is able to see how the animals in the zoo feel. This is probably during the day, considering their is a lot of sun.
Potato Johnson (Colorado)
I agree with you, i believe that this man is doing this as an experiment or as a protest against zoos. But mainly i believe it is an experiment to better understand an animals emotions in a zoo. i think this because the man is in a glass box with kids watching him just like what you would do at a zoo.
VTS Moderator (Los Angeles, CA)
Thanks to everyone for having participated in the first discussion of 2018! As always, I am so appreciative of and amazed at the evident work you put into examining this image. Today I saw lots of great discussions, especially in the replies section, so keep that up! While I will be signing off now, keep looking at the image on your own and then tune in Thursday to find out more about it! Just a reminder: as January 15th is a school holiday for many districts, you can join us again on January 22nd. Thanks again everyone, and see you then!
Silva (LSNM)
In the picture there is man caged with glass windows. There are children who are observing this man. I think he is around a Zoo to show how animals feel when they are caged up too. This picture very well can portray ago the children of man and he is living his life.
Alexis Daley (Souderton Highschool)
I noticed the group of kids staring into what looks to be a cage at a zoo. There is a man inside the exhibit sitting on a sofa without a shirt or shoes. I think this is some form of a protest against animal cruelty so the man is demonstrating what it would be like if humans were held in captivity.
Matthew (JHS)
In this picture, there is a man in a cage, surrounded by familiar items you'd find in a home. However, his floor is grass, his walls are glass, and kids are peering in as if it's a zoo exhibit.
Mrs. Lang (South River, NJ)
We notice a group of kids on a field trip with a teacher. We think they are at the zoo or a nature park. We also notice a shirtless shoelss man on a couch in a glass cage. We think this might be some type of experiment where, rather than animals being caged, a person is being held in captivity. We also notice a magazine on the table open to a page about animals.He is also messy. His clothes are on the floor.
cordes (hershy park)
this is london zoo human exihbat ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Jose (Hinkley High School)
This man caged inside with picture frames on a wall that looks like he's at home. This is happening in a zoo because in the background you are able to see signs and trees. The kids are looking through the cage to see the man inside. The man in his cage has his own cloths, couch, robe, and magazines. So, this makes him feel at home.
QuinnG (AOSE)
I totally agree with you. Great observations about the trees in the back suggesting that this is at the zoo!!
Jayden Campos (Colorado)
a Presenter. In a houses backyard, Noon, The kids are on a feild trip and they are looking at a daily life of a human being.
Daisy (Hinkley Highschool)
I think that this man is a scientist. He is doing an experiment to try to relate to how a zoo animal must feel. There are multiple people peering in through the glass walls. He is locked up in a cage it seems that tries to be a home for him. He has his phone, a coffee cup,a couch and a table yet his floor is fake grass. They have provided the man everything he needs to survive and make it as comfortable as possible but still take his freedom and privacy.
CiaraAOSE (New Jersy)
Nice observation! I agree with your theory that this man is performing an experiment to understand how zoo animals feel when they are locked in cages and watched constantly. However, you pointed out that they made this habitat as comfortable as they could for this man, yet many times zoos do not make the animals' habitats as comfortable as they can. They provide the animals with what they need to live, not extra luxuries, such as the phone is to this man.
Sisi (MO)
I see a man sitting in a closed space. He's shirtless. He's smiling and sitting on a sofa. A teacher is taking some kindergarten kids to see him. It's probably an exhibition.
Boyu Liu (STL)
I think it's a fake man, a wax figure in museum or exhibition center. The children are obviously observing this "glass room", and it might be about future houses and interior design concepts.
Aini Arreola (Hinkley High School)
I believe that this picture represents performance art because the man is in a space where they cant touch him and the space that hes in seems confined. It also has the things someone would normally have in their homes like the couch, his clothes, some paintings and his phone. The kids might be observing how certain art can be different from one another and everything in that area looks staged.
shaza (st.louis)
I think what is going on in this picture is that there is a man shows the kids how the life will be when the grow up.
Bianca (Hinkley )
They put animals in a cage with things that can help them survive or a good setting for them and then they put them in display in front of people and maybe they did the same thing, but with a human. They gave him a couch, a table, clothes. a phone and something to drink which is basic things you'd need. They are at a zoo for animals and maybe wanted to switch it up and use a actually person.
CiaraAOSE (New Jersy)
Why do you think they wanted to "switch it up?" What made whoever is running this experiment want to begin this specific experiment? Is it for an educational purpose for these kids or for an organization for animal welfare or was it just for fun?
Rudy Medina (Hinkley)
I think this is someone that is pulling a joke on the kids . I think this is happening in a zoo because In the background it looks like a place where animals are placed. I think this happen a long time ago because the quality of the picture. There are little kids watching him and I think they think he is an animal.
John H. Wang (St. Louis )
This could possibly be a human exhibition in a European zoo to criticized those exhibition that happens to african people and other race in the age of imperialism.
Jordana (NJ)
I think this is a homeless man who gets a visit from these preschool children to make him happy. I think this because it looks as if the guy has no shirt because he can't afford it.
Jamie (New Jersey)
In this photo I think that a class of children are viewing a man that lives in a zoo exhibit.
weam alkrad (stl)
I expect he looks like a statue so the kids laugh. or he woeks as prank or hides.
Leslie (Hinkley)
What's going on in this picture is just a man in this clear box. He is probably doing a social experiment to see what people would react to this. This is happening in a park or somewhere where there is a lot of people. A clue that it gives me that its in the park is the trees and the grass and the park is where a lot of people go to do many things.
Abby Edson (AOSE)
Yes this is a social experiment, in my opinion. Your interpretation was very good. But why do u think he is shirtless and shoe less?
QuinnG (AOSE)
I like your observation. It is a little different form most of the other answers but it makes total sense. Great job!!
Roaa (STL)
A man works himself a statue so that the children laugh
Brianna C (AOSE)
What leads you to believe this? Why do you think he is enclosed in glass
Sarah (Hinkley)
I think that whats going on in this picture is that the man wanted to see what it is like to be an animal in a zoo. In the zoo, when people see an animal, a bunch of people gathers around them, and a lot of people are gathered around the 'house'. This was happening during the daytime when people usually go to zoos and there were a lot of children looking at the man like there are usually a lot of children looking at animals.
Samantha (hinkley high school)
I think that in this picture the man is try to show people how animals are left in cages. But this man changed places with the animal to how what it would be like if human were living like that. This is happening in 2018. This looks like it maybe happing in the Zoo and wildlife place.
VTS Moderator (Los Angeles, CA)
Thanks for your thoughts @Samantha. Sounds like you're agreeing with others who say that there might be a symbolic reason this man is enclosed. I'd love to know more - what do you see that makes you say this is happening in the current moment?
Marisol Hernandez (Hinkley high school)
In this picture their is a man that is locked in a cage. This might be in the middle of the day, in the zoo. Many people are looking at the man who is in the cage. I think that they did this because they can show how animals feel. Animals are in a cage just like in the one that he's in. If they can get the people to see how it is to be locked in cage then they might not to it to animals because they can see that they don't like it so the animals don't like it.
Nomarys (Indiana )
I feel like this man is looked up in a "cage" just like animals in a zoo are because he wants to show other people how animals feel when they are in a cage with nowhere to go. Living in a small space just to entertain them.
Aini Arreola (Hinkley High School)
I disagree with this because some people believe that animals in a zoo feel caged in and unhappy. Like the way that some bears toss their heads showing that they are stressed on the other hand the man on the couch seems to be happy and enjoying watching the kids be fascinated by something different.
Sean (Hinkley High School)
I agree with you this person seems to be inside an exhibit at the zoo to show people how animals feel when they are in a cage for others enjoyment with no where to go.
Mia D. (AOSE)
What an interesting and unique thought! I agree with you on this. Perhaps the man is trying to put animal cruelty into perspective by putting himself in their position. However, why do you think he looks so happy?
Karla (United States)
In the photograph the man is in the zoo. He is a in there to show that animals should let free instead of being caged in. This way people can see how it makes the animals feel. The kids saw the man and thought it was funny and the man found it nice to see other people.
Kendal (Hinkley High School)
I agree with this. The man looks to be in a cage with the surroundings looking to be a zoo. He is probably trying to show or understand what animals in zoo's go through on a daily basis. He has a very small place to be living in. But that could be for many reasons, one being they are not gonna build him a HUGE enclosure in the middle of the park and two being he is trying to show how much space one animal has in the zoo enclosure in total.
Edgar (Hinkley High School)
I agree with you because he does have a smile on his face as he looks at the children, and he had caged himself like an animal like you shave said to make a statement they they should not be captive. I think he is doing this because normally you don't see a human in a boxed because they're free able to roam and feel that animal should be let out as well.
Annabelle (Hinkley High School)
I agree that this is a man in a zoo. I think that this man is showing how the animals have to live when being caged up for a long time. The man has some things that he'd have at his home, like a chair and tables, even a few paintings. There are some kids that would usually see animals in cages but think it is funny to see this man in one.

I think that this could be an exhibit at a zoo. I think maybe its in another country and this is an exhibit of they way some country's people live. I think this because of the children and the fence in the background, also the adult with the children, and the fact that he's in a glass area
jeny (lafayette in)
I think this picture is about a person wanting to be in nature and wanting to be around the whole environment. It shows that he wants to be around nature because his home is literally in the middle of a field or something.Theres kids and other people around his glass. He's interacting with the environment and is expressing good vibes. He looks like he's enjoying living there in his little home and showing to people how happy he is living like that.
Caiden Paz (Hinkley High School)
I totally agree with you, I think he wants to be around nature. I think he might want to kind of show kids that it's okay to live in nature and that you don't need any fancy electronics to live off of.

Hi @jeny! Thanks for your comments today! I hear you looking at the setting and noticing that it seems quite natural. To you, it sounds we are looking at someone's home, and that the male figure seems content with where he lives and the immediate environment he is in. What do you see that makes you say that he is enjoying living there?
Shelby (Lafayette, IN)
What's going on in this picture is a man, it's like he is someone famous and the kids are his fans. What makes me say this is because he is in his apartment/ house he made out in nature. Little kids are on the outside surrounding the place with a surprising shock on their faces. He has his clothes in there, his own couch, phone, flowers, pictures, and coffee cup.
LAAA Yearbook Staff (Los Angeles, CA)
@Shelby Hey there and good morning all the way from Los Angeles Adventist Academy. We don't believe this guy on the exhibit can be famous, because these kids look around 6 years old and wouldn't know that for a fact.
VTS Moderator (Los Angeles, CA)
Great discussion, commenters! I am hearing many thoughts that are noticing this setting feels like an exhibit of some kind, wondering what the man might be doing in such a scenario, and considering an educational purpose it might serve. @Jenna Barrett, @Ethan Adkins, @Lizzie, @Robert Kleiman and others think he might be doing a social experiment relating humans to zoo animals, with the goal of making a connection between humans and animals in captivity. @Clayton V. agrees that there is a lesson present, but thinks it might be that anything can be art. It sounds like @Marifer Gomez Verea is thinking there might not be an educational reason for this man being present, but that it's more about entertainment - potentially that he is a celebrity. Keep up the close looking! What more can we find?

In the photograph the man inside is showing how it would be to have a human in captivity the same way that animals are kept in captivity. The setting of there photo is a zoo.
Scarlet (aurora)
I agree with this comment because i think the man is trying to experience what animals feel when they are in captivity. This would allow other people behind this scene of animal captivity.
Treissy (Long Island)
In the New York Times photograph, we thing the man is a zoo worker taking a break inside an animal exhibit.
Miguel (Long Island)
In the New York time photograph, we think the man ia a zoo worker taking a break inside an animal exhibit.
VTS Moderator (Los Angeles, CA)
@Miguel, thanks for your comment this morning! It sounds like you agree with @Treissy and @Ashlee, and you're thinking that this figure is relaxing after working at the zoo, and that he might be inside what is normally an animal exhibit. Opening it up to group discussion, what do you all see in the image that makes you say that?
Danny Chen (St. Louis)
In this photo, it looks like the kids are taking a trip to botanical garden, and the men are performance artist show that when people stuck at home, its like a plants.
VTS Moderator (Los Angeles, CA)
@Danny Chen - thanks for your post this morning! It sounds like you are agreeing with @Alex M Z and @paul that the male figure in the center of the composition might be an artist. However, it sounds like you are @Alex M Z have slightly different ideas about what he might be representing, though you agree he is symbolizing a non-human thing. @Danny Chen, you're thinking he might be representing a plant in a botanical garden setting and @Alex M Z you're thinking he might be an animal in a zoo. What do you see that makes you arrive at that conclusion? What more evidence can we find?
Ashlee (Long Island)
In the New York times photograph, we think the man is a zoo worker taking a break inside an animal exhibit.
VTS Moderator (Los Angeles, CA)
Morning, @Ashlee, and thanks so much for participating in today's discussion! I hear you wondering about the activity of the man, and who he might be based off of that activity. What do you see that makes you say he might be a zoo worker on break? What more can we find?
adlenj (Lafayette, IN)
This picture is showing a man enclosed in a glass room. The kids are observing the man in the couch. I think he's trying to show what animals feel like being locked inside a room all day being observed by strangers.
Gracie (Colorado)
I agree with you because it seems like he has locked himself in an exhibit to prove a point that animals should not be treated like this because if we don't like it, they must not either.
Skyler M. (Indiana)
There is a man in the glass room like he's like an animal , and the kids are looking around the room surrounds the guy . I think a lot of people are saying that this is a wild man in the glass room looking at the kids .
paul (stl)
i can see in this picture there is a man lying on his small sofa. the room is very narrow. this picture makes me to think that he is an artist doesn't live in a place for a long time of period. His "house" does has a floor. so i think his house is moveable.
VTS Moderator (Los Angeles, CA)
Welcome to the conversation, @paul! It sounds like you're really grappling with who the male individual might be based on your observations of his surroundings, which all seem rather temporary and small to you. What do you see that makes you say he might be an artist?
Alex M Z (some where)
I think that the person inside is a artist. I feel like he is in a zoo to show what if a human is inside instead of a monkey. I think he is protesting how people treat animals. I say that because the environment around feels like is in a zoo because there are signs and trees all over the place.
Valentina R. (JHS)
im not too sure what to make of this, this is possibly apart of a museum of something. the man seems to be entertaining the kids. he could be a physical comedian. or he could be a mime at a different level of entertainment.
VTS Moderator (Los Angeles, CA)
Thanks for tackling this image, @Valentina R.! It sounds like you're still grappling with understanding this picture, and I so appreciate you doing so. It sounds like you're thinking of the setting here, noting there is an individual interacting with the children in what appears to be an entertaining way. Let's discuss your several claims - looking to the image for details, what do you see that makes you say he might be in a museum? What do you see that makes you say he might be an entertainer or a mime? Let's keep discussing!
Santiago (Mexico)
In this picture, a group of kids is visiting a zoo. I think this is a type of human zoo, as an experiment to show people how animals suffer when they are captive, as it is weird to see a person captive like this. In the right side of the picture, we can see signs similar to those found in a zoo, which make me support my opinion. We can also see that the kids look amazed at the man, as they would an exotic animal.
Ashya (JHS)
I think the man in this picture is a comedian trying to entertain the kids on the outside of the glass enclosure. I think he is entertaining them because the kids seem to be smiling and having a good time. I see that he has items that would be placed in a home such as the coffee table, a coat rack, an umbrella, and paintings on the wall. I think this enclosure might've been portrayed as his home as part of the comedians joke.
VTS Moderator (Los Angeles, CA)
Thanks for your comment this morning, @Ashya! It sounds like you agree with @Santiago that this is strange to see someone enclosed like this. However, you two have different ideas as to what he might be doing there. @Santiago, you think he is enclosed to teach the viewers about the difficulties of animals living in captivity. @Ashya, you are thinking this might be for entertainment's sake, and he is bringing them joy and happiness. For you both, and for anyone who would like to join, what do you see that makes you say that? What do you see that makes you say he is here as a joke? What do you see that makes you say he is here to show how animals suffer? What more can we find?
Zeke Leuck (lafayette indiana jhs)
This man is honing in on the human instinct to watch others and what they do by incasing himself in a glass box and doing what he normally does.
katelyn kelley (jhs)
in this picture maybe the guy is trying to make a point about something or these kids are having a class trip to this place and the guy is trying to entertain them. What makes me say that is the guy is laughing and the kids are too and he made the glass box as if its a little house. Some things that i see are some pictures on the wall, coat hanger, couch and table.
VTS Moderator (Los Angeles, CA)
Thanks for your thoughts this morning, @katelyn kelley! You're really wondering what this figure is doing in this space and it sounds like you're considering multiple options, and agreeing with the thoughts of others here. Thanks for sharing your observations on how he might be entertaining them! I'd love to know more about your other thought as well - what do you see that makes you say he is trying to make a point about something?
Abby C (Indiana)
I think this takes place at a zoo. The surroundings kind of give the vibe of being at the zoo. They might be taking pictures or experimenting something out of the normal. Nobody has ever seen a human inside a zoo exhibit so they might be trying something new.
alysiona (Indiana)
in this picture there is a man sitting in a see through room where there are children are watching. i think the man is there to entertain the kids like at a zoo. i say this because the children are watching the man laughing and the man is smiling at them.
Mia D. (AOSE)
What do you think the man could be doing to entertain the kids?
Jenna Barrett (JHS)
In this photo, it looks like the kids are on a field trip at a zoo, and they are looking at a man in a glass room. It seems like a zoo to me because in the background you can see that there is a fence with plaques that could have information about the animals. To me it seems like the man is doing a social experiment where he is one of the exhibits in the zoo, like he is one of the animals. The kids, as you might expect, are very interested in the man and they are laughing and pointing at him. this photo, to me, says that humans are a weird species just like the animals.
Ana H (Mexico)
I think that this is some kind of protest against zoo's because if you zoom in at the back there are information placard which are usually found on zoo's to explain what is the animal and I feel like he is trying to make it look how the animals would feel.
VTS Moderator (Los Angeles, CA)
Thanks so much for your thoughts this morning, @Ana H! It sounds like you're looking at the setting and think this might be in a zoo. To you, this scenario represents a protest against what zoos normally do. Looking to the image, what do you see that makes you say that?
Lizzie (Lafayette, IN)
From looking at the image above there is a man sitting in what it seems like a zoo. He is laying on a couch in a big, glass box like he is on display. just like the animals. Maybe to represent that us as humans are very similar the the animal species. w come from the same background and environment. But it is not fair that we aren't held captive and are stared at for entertainment. So he is making us equal.
Fernanda Ramirez (ASFG)
I see a man laying down in a couch without shirt and some children watching him. I think he is at a place like a parc or somewhere public.
Fernando Su (Guadalajara)
We are looking at a zoo. There is a man in a glass cage being observed by many children that seem to be coming together in a field trip. There are signs which are common in a zoo which typically contains information about the organisms.
Kaitlyn G (AOSE)
In this picture, there appears to be a class of young children and their teacher looking into a glass room with a man inside of it. The room is decorated to look like a human's "natural habitat" because of the sweatshirts, furniture, and photos on the wall. Behind the children, this place appears to be a zoo with signs telling about each exhibit. This could be the human exhibit in the zoo.
VTS Moderator (Los Angeles, CA)
Thanks for your thoughts this morning, @Kaitlyn G. I hear you thinking this might be an exhibition of humans in a zoo setting. Delving deeper into this - what do you see that makes you say this feels artificial, or set-up somehow, like it's pretending to be a "natural habitat" as you said?
Clayton V. (Jefferson Highschool)
There is a man who has setup an exhibit about a man and what it looks like to live for him. I think the man wants the kids to see how anything can be art. In this case, he is the art along with the setup living room. There are lots of kids looking at him, and I believe that he is an exhibit at a zoo or something. It probably has lots of different art. I think the man is showing who he is with the way he sets up the scene. He makes it look like a living room and he has some pictures of animals, so i think the man loves animals.
Ethan Adkins (Lafayette Jefferson High school)
I think in this photo, the man is in a zoo like thing. They almost use the man as an exhibit or something. All these people are surrounding him and staring like he's a wild animal in a zoo. He looks like he is making himself at home in front of all these people and just having a morning or afternoon watching tv.
regina s (mexico)
i think is a zoo because of the sorroundings .
