We agree with that except for the sheltering part

- Hi, we think that this image talks about the poverty in the world, we need to stop this, because if this continues like this, the world will perish, so this is all guys.
Haylee & Anika (New Zealand)
We think that in this picture a homeless person is sheltering from the cold in Walmart.
Save Gaia (Save Gaia)
We agree with that except for the sheltering part

A homeless women sleeping on the ground in a super market and she cold so that's why she has a blanket
7th LCA (wisconsin)
We infer there is a homeless person Walmart laying by the dairy isle with blankets and pillows. She was reading magazines about tv's.
6th LCA (wisconsin)
We infer that a homeless person is sleeping in Walmart because of the cold weather. The person has a blanket, pillow, waterbottle, and shoes with him/her.
Mrs. Schutz 4/5 period class (Rhome, TX)
We think this woman is homeless, which is why she is having to sleep in a Walmart. We think this photo was taken either early in the morning or late at night, because the shelves are fully stocked. We think she is carrying around what few belongings she has in that shopping cart next to her.
Haley (TA, Arundel ME USA)
She’s homeless and sleeping in Walmart possiblely because an imploie ( sorry I’m bad at spelling ) let her in and now she is there ( i didn’t read the paragraph below before typing this and now I feel like a copy cat)
CGS (USA)
In this picture I believe that the women sleeping in the floor is homeless. She probably met one of the employees and he/she took pity on the women and let her sleep there. First of all, she must have not had a place to sleep. Secondly, she has brought blankets with her which can be inferred as she always carry them around so that she can sleep anywhere. She also has, what looks like to be, a coat. This could mean that she has been outside where most homeless people reside. Some other things that I notice were the large canister at her feet and the magazine that looks like a Walmart magazine. You could infer from the large canister that she always make sure she at least has water. In conclusion, I believe the woman in the picture is homeless.
Madison (New York)
I think there a woman that was homeless and she is sleeping in the store and she is eating something from Walmart.
CGS (USA)
@Madison I agree that the women is homeless, but I don't believe that she is eating Walmart's supply. The only way that she could get food is if she stole it or bought it. Walmart wouldn't give her free food and she was probably heavily watched on the cameras to make sure everything stayed in its place and wasn't missing.
Save Gaia (Save Gaia)
I agree that the women is homeless, but I don't believe that she is eating Walmart's food.
Devin C. (Canoga Park high school)
There is a lady on the floor in a store looks to be homeless is in needed for shelter she also has a basket with clothes in it clothes on the side of her and a bottle behind her and looks to be food in front of her so I think the store owner maybe let her stay for the night and possibly there could be someone with her.
Heily Ramos (CPHS)
what's going on in this picture? there's a homeless person resting on the floor in a Walmart there is a person shopping what do you see that makes you say that? the person is on the floor with a blanket and a pillow. the Walmart logo is on the sales sign what more can you find? The lady has all her belongings in a cart and the man is minding his own business.
Mercedes (North Carolina)
I think the lady is sleeping in the store because she might be homeless and have no where else to stay
karla (north carolina )
their is a lady sleeping in the supermarket maybe because she don't have a place to sleeping at or family.
linsy (the netherlands)
I think a woman sleeps in a supermarket. And maybe she lives there. Because a woman lies in a supermarket. And she has a sleeping bag and some clothers. Its´s really strange that the man doesn´t see that there a woman sleeps.
KMM (The Netherlands)
I don´t want to be mean but I think that woman is homeless and lives in that supermarket I think that because she has all kinds of stuff around her that you would keep in your home I don´t think it´s impotant but I see a man shopping in the background and that there is a sale. (That are the other things I see in this picture).
Ariel (Belle Glade,Fl)
I believe that this women is a Walmart employee that is trying to make a statement and protesting . This could be seen when looking at the fact it seems early in the morning because there is only one person shopping. Also the person in the background could be a Walmart employee that is restocking before Walmart opens. The statement/protest I think she is making is that she is to poor to afford housing and is homeless because of the low wages she is being payed. If you also key in on the jacket which looks to have the Walmart symbol to further this reasoning.
Save Gaia (Save Gaia)
We don't agree with your answer because if that women was an employee she might have money to buy a house
Madelynn (Palm Beach)
The women is obviously homeless though I don't believe the grocery store is the place to go or that section. It's not really evident what's going, who she is, or what she does.
Rowdy Ruholl (Macomb, IL)
She’s a greedy Black Friday shopper. She’s sleeping in the food section cause no one will ever suspect to check over there. As you look closer you see she has a Walmart pamphlet with TV’s and she has something plugged in behind her and she has a lawn chair which indicates that she know she might get kicked so she has a chair to wait in line, plus the guy in the background has a coat which indicates cold season, which Black Friday is in the cold season... or she’s just homeless looking for shelter
Save Gaia (Save Gaia)
We don't agree with that because she don't have money to buy at the Black Friday
jalen (no where)
on me i don't really think she's homeless i think she just is camping out in the store maybe waiting to buy something important
Save Gaia (Save Gaia)
We don't agree with that because she is sleeping in a sleeping bag. Also if she she was waiting for something she could sleep in her house and then go to th wallmart
VTS Moderator (Seattle, WA)
We have a new idea from @English Curse. Instead of a customer or a situation of temporary housing, could this person in the foreground be an employee? This discussion has really focused on this unexpected behavior for a store context. Let's keep this great close looking and thinking. What more can we find?
Olivia P (Ireland)
@VTS Moderator I've just stumbled across this activity and think it's amazing. I'm hoping to start using it with the children I teach. Where can the actual caption for the photograph be sourced? I see you post them a few days after the photograph but in terms of looking back at old photos, is it possible to find out what they were actually about?
A, Richardson (NC)
It appears as if a homeless woman has found shelter in the grocery store.
Kylee S (MD)
I see a homeless woman laying on the floor of a supermarket cuz I see a homeless woman laying there. someone in the back grabbing what looks like some cheese or yogurt
ur mum big gae (no)
whats going on is theres a woman laying on the floor of a supermarket or whatever it is. What do I see that makes me say that? cuz I see a woman laying on the floor in a supermarket -_-?? what more I can find is someone grabbing canned food like they about to dip in their basement from a hurricane.
OH NAH (MD)
She looks like she's homeless and she ain't got a place to stay so she decided to juss.... lay on the floor and sleep there when she can go to a shelter or something. IDK.
Marvin Romero (Germantown, MD)
In the picture, a homeless person is sleeping on the floor of a grocery store, specifically a Walmart while people are shopping around them. The living supplies around the person and the fact that they look like they have been there for a while allows me to infer that they are homeless. I can also infer that the person is sleeping there because of harsh weather conditions, the fact they are near refrigerators might suggest there is extreme heat outside of the Walmart. A question I have is if the person is a woman or a man, as well as if they really are homeless, and what their backstory is. Also, I would like to know where this picture takes place to further acknowledge weather conditions.
Sofi (MD/IL)
In the picture, there is a woman (?) laying/sleeping on the floor in a Walmart. She has a blanket under her and another one on top. Near her, there are clothes and coupons and a thermos (I think). There is a man in the background who's shopping and is basically paying her no mind. I can assume that the woman is homeless based on the fact that she's sleeping in a Walmart. She looks uncomfortable, but it seems like she's done this before. I say this because she seems prepared, given all the things she’s brought with herself. I think she might be a victim of something, be it a natural disaster or something going on with her social life (family for example). Why is she sleeping at a Walmart? What pushed her to have to sleep there? How long has she been staying at Walmart? Does she switch stores or just stay at the one Walmart? Is this a norm? Is that why the man in the background doesn’t notice her? How did LA Times find out about this? Why Walmart? What is the significance of documenting her story?
Cameron Obiezue (Germantown, MD)
I see a woman on the floor of a shopping market possibly waiting a tv to be put into the store(I only say that because of the coupon or catalouge that's on the floor next to her). Maybe she's protesting something or can't afford to sleep in a house and won't sleep outside because of the dangers.
Danny Tejaddy (MLK)
@Cameron Obiezue what about the question
Caleb (Germantown, Maryland)
There is a homeless women in a Walmart.The evidence I see that shows my thinking is that the women has a blanket and a sleeping bag on the floor to sleep on.Normal people do not lay down in a Walmart with sleeping materials.I can see that behind her she has a water bottle so she might be using that for water.I can also see that she has a jacket an a pillow.The jacket and the pillow might of been given to her by a customer so she can sleep comfortably and stay warm.The only question I have is if she was given all the stuff she has in the picture.
Ja'Niya (Maryland)
I can not decide on what I think. In the comments I say 2 different perspectives and both of them seem logical enough to be true. I believe that there is a women laying down inside of Walmart but when it comes down to the question why, I can't yet decide. I can't decide on if she's either homeless and needs a place to rest or if she is waiting on a sale. But then again, if there was supposedly a sale, why is she the only one just there laying down. I believe that usually more than 1 person knows about a sale. This is my honest opinion.
Safe Soliloquy (MD)
She is most likely homeless and sleeping on the floor in WAaaaaaalmart because she has a sleeping bag with her and nothing else, so she intends on sleeping there. Also, there is someone shopping behind her, and why doesn't she go to a homeless shelter or something? She also looks wide awake and seems to be thinking about something.
Danny Tejaddy (MLK)
@Safe Soliloquy maybe she doesnt know where the shelter is
Logan (Maryland)
There is a man/woman on the ground, and he/she is probably trying to sleep in a Walmart. There's some magazine's, a coat, a water bottle, and yogurt. There are people shopping, also, he/she is in the dairy part of the store. Why is he/she trying to sleep in a Walmart? Who is he/she? Are they homeless?
jamyl (maryland)
the thing i see in the picture is that a women is sleeping in the store waiting for something. I say that because there is a picture coupon next to her and she probably waiting for something to opening. that a man is shopping behind her and there a shopping cart full of that girl stuff. why is she there and why is she sleeping there
Amanda (Germantown MD)
It looks like someone on the ground, but not really sleeping. Maybe she's trying to protest something. From what I can see, she seems to have dirt on her face, a stereotype for a poor person.
Safe Soliloquy (MD)
@Amanda maybe
Gabrial Valdez (San Leandro )
What I think was going on in the photo is a persom had no place to sleep so she said screw she it and slept in there. Maybe he is doing a YouTube video or social experiment. And the man behind is probably wondering what the person is doing
Lucas (Canoga Park High School)
1. There’s a person sleeping on the floor in the grocery store 2. It showed a person laying down on the floor but its next to butter. 3. There’s another person buying some yogurt.
keelah (CAEC)
So they are in the store and there is a lady on the floor and she is all covered up .Because it cold bye the cooler and there is a water bottle bye here. It looks like there is a women behind her and she is getting yogurt . She does not see her and she is waiting on the night time . Because it is waiting on the sale for X-mas and wanting to get some gifts for her or kids..
Naraya Durr (Columbus Ohio)
What i think is going on in this picture is a girl is laying down waiting at Walmart for a deal to buy stuff before anyone else does.
kk (ohio)
In this picture it looks like a homeless man just woke up and is waiting for a Black Friday sale. He's at Walmart.
Naraya Durr (Columbus Ohio)
what i think this picture is wrong was she is laying down at Walmart waiting for a deal and buying stuff before anyone else does.
Anthony (America)
@Naraya Durr I agree with you. There isnt a good reason to sleep in a store if you are not waiting for something. Also since she has a drink and blankets, that means she has to be waiting for something. Overall, I do think that the woman laying on the ground is waiting for something at the store.
Safe Soliloquy (MD)

LaN'eya Burress (africsentric)
He's laying down on the floor at walmart with a cart next to him . why is he on the floor laying down on the nasty floor with blanket for and why. he maybe is waiting for a sale or some thing he is waiting for an order . I also see a man in the back of him looking at some thing.
Abreya H. (Columbus Ohio)
In this picture there seems to be a little girl on the floor with a whole bunch of blankets laying down. There's a man in the yogurt section looking for yogurt. A sign with a price for the food. There is a grocery cart with clothes inside. The man is wearing all black. The little looks cold. On the corner of the picture it looks like a red umbrella. The man and the little girl are in Walmart. I think she is on the floor because she is a homeless person and she is waiting to get food. And the man is stalling by shopping in Walmart until Black Friday starts.
Amari horton (ohio)
1.In this picture I see a man getting groceries and I see a girl laying down on the floor with some covers. She looks very comfortable. It also looks like the women trying to sleep or talking a nap on the floor in' Walmart. 2. It seems like she is trying to take a nap because she waiting on the black Friday line for the 75 inch TV line to get shorter 3.I can also see a bottle of water and a man in the background looking a groceries.
issis carlean robertson (OHIO)
What I think is going on in this is that a homeless lady is sleeping in a Walmart.But in the background there is a man/woman shopping for food.The lady that is shopping is not even paying attention to the homeless person laying there.Or it could be a person waiting for a sale to happen and is take a nap so that the time can pass faster.
Mekhi Douglass Johnson (OHIO)
In this picture there's a Homeless lady in the grocery store and don't have anything to eat or drink.Also she is waiting for a customer to Give her food.
keelah (CAEC)
what i think is going on in this picture is that a women or man is going food shopping for some yogurt . and and homeless person is on the floor with his his stuffed .and it looks like there is a red chair bye the coolers .
Corinne M Craven (Columbus Afrecentric Early College )
In this picture it looks like there is a homeless women is laying down in a grocery store. To me it looks like the homeless women has been there over night. The women probably was there asking people for money, and then she got tired of asking. Her asking made her tired to the point where she knew she didn't want to sleep in the street, so she took off her jacket and backpack. After the women took her things off, it looks like she got 2 blankets from the store, one to lay on, and one to get under so she wouldn't be cold. I have also noticed that a man appears to be shopping while the women is lying on the grocery store floor.
joshua marshawn wiley (ohio)
I am sorry for the poor women she need some food water and some help she waiting for someone to put some food in her lap it look like she haven't ate in four to five weeks someone please give her some money and some food please help her out.
De'Marco Jason Moxley (Columbus Ohio)
a homeless person is waiting for some one to give her food
joshua marshawn wiley (ohio)
@De'Marco Jason Moxley this joshua she need some money or some type of food or she going to end up starving to death.

Dalton P. (North Carolina)
-In this photograph, there seems to be a little girl in front of a bunch of men with coats and scarves on. This leads me to believe that she has interrupted a photo shoot of some kind. -The things that lead me to believe this is the large professional camera at the bottom left and the outfits that the men are wearing which are high quality and would be the sort of thing you'd see in a photo shoot. -The men in the photo look like they are models and are wearing clothing that models would wear. The girl also looks like she may have to use the bathroom and is looking off from the camera probably at her parents.
H2 North East Valley Normal School (Dunedin New Zealand)
It looks like a homeless person is sleeping on the floor of the supermarket. Perhaps the person lying down has been robbed or his house has been damaged after a disaster of some kind? We thought it was strange that the shopper in the background was not paying any attention to the man sleeping on the floor, and wondered why he had been looking at a magazine full of TV adverts.
Hannah C. (Ems)
It looks like a home less woman living in a grocery store. It seems no one is paying attention to the woman. The woman also looks cold. She is wraped in a blanket,and is in multiple coats.
Azavier (New York)
A homeless woman is on the floor of a Walmart while a guy is in the back shopping. The woman on the non-inflated air mattress in a Walmart makes me think she is homeless. The woman has a blanket on her is laying her head on what looks to be multiple coats or jackets. Behind her there is a water bottle and a shopping cart with clothes in it.
YahBoiiJJ (columbus)
In this picture their seems to be a homeless women sleeping in a Walmart with a blanket and is laying down on a sleeping bag and she is sleeping by a freezer and their is a man browsing around to buy a item also it seems like she has a dirty coat or jacket by here.
Deanna (Ohio)
A lady sleeping next to a cooler inside a supermarket (that looks like walmart) . She seems like she's homeless with no where to go. It looks like she is trying to sleep but notices there's a camera in front of her. The man in the background doesn't seem to be paying attention to her. She might be using those covers from the store and not her own, but i can't tell if the tags are still there.
Skkkkkkkk (columbus,Ohio)
A Boy on the ground of a supermarket sleeping. (I think its Walmart). He has a jacket that looks kinda old. I see a man or women in the background shopping. He is next to a refrigerator. He looks cold,And the blanket looks really old. I see a opened ketchup packet. And a plastic bottle behind her. He looks really cold and homeless. He is sleeping under blankets.
Stephan (Ohio)
I think this person is homeless. I think this because he is sleeping on the floor. Or they are waiting for like black Friday or something. He is probably cold so he has a cover. There are other people shopping around him. He might be sleeping so he is laying down. There are sales going around him. One sale is for $.44 and the other is $1.18.
yaboy unique (nrd vncfnvrnjvfjt)
1. There a person who looks homeless .There's a ketchup so she problaly at that.In a store that looks like Walmart. She has a thin coat.You can tell she cold there are thick sheets.there is also news paper on the sheet.It's water on her right
keion (columbus)

Terry Williams (America )
I see in this picture that a person is in a Walmart on the floor waiting for something and is laying there the person in the back seems to not care because he has already asked the person what they are there for.
Zayyy Ya Digg (New York)
I see a little boy sleeping in Walmart. Hes sleeping in Walmart. People could be black Friday shopping. There's only one person that is sleeping. I can find that's its Walmart cause next to the Save sign. They are near the juice.
Ashlei (columbus)
What's going in this picture is a person on the floor in the supermarket while people is shopping.She cold ,she homeless.She is laying on a blanket .What i caption in this photograph a woman cold and wrapped in her blanker.
Zayyy Ya Digg (New York)
There is a boy sleeping in the floor of Wal-Mart , he looks homeless and cold. He is laying on top of a blue sheet or blanket and it looks like he has some sort of pillow or something. He also has a water bottle in the back of him and there is also a jacket in front of him.
quack (atlanta)
IT APPEARS TO BE A WOMAN IN A WALMART IN THE DAIRY ISLE EITHER SHOPPING FOR GOOD BLANKETS OR TAKING A NAP BUT BY THE SHOPPING CART IN THE BACK ROUND I THINK SHE IS TAKING A NAP
Jayla (Ohio)
1.In this picture I see a man getting groceries and I see a girl (or boy) laying down on the floor with some covers. He/she looks very comfortable. It also looks like the boy or girl is homeless trying to sleep on the floor in' Walmart'? 2.It seems like that boy or girl is homeless because he or she is laying down in the store with some covers, but at the same time it don't seem like there not because they have water and stuff like that. 3.I can also see a bottle of water and a man in the background.
SomeKid (Ohio)
I think it is a female or male that went to sleep for a sale that was going.The sale was most likely at Walmart.What made me think this is fact that all the sings in the picture say SALE.
Kna'Shante Bowers (Ohio)
I see their is an homeless lady in Walmart trying to get warm laying in the cold section she seems to have a pink water bottle, and a small coat with a little fur inside for warmth she seems to also have ketchup packets and i see other people still shopping, the Walmart shes in look very familiar to me but again all Walmarts look the same.
lee lee (columbus)
Whats going on in this picture is there is a boy laying down in the store .And there is an water bottle behind him and he looks homeless and cold and there is a ketchup packet open close to him . I noticed that he has a coat in front of him and he has a cover up under him.
Tayor (columbus)
There is a boy sleeping in the floor of Wal-Mart , he looks homeless and cold. He is laying on top of a blue sheet or blanket and it looks like he has some sort of pillow or something. He also has a water bottle in the back of him and there is also a jacket in front of him.
Jayla (Ohio)
@Tayor good answers
Drake-aka-KKB (Canada)
@kvnye.b A girl is sleeping an the floor of Walmart. She is homeless and is simply looking for shelter in a Walmart store. She is rarely getting money that is why you don't really see much food she drinking out of the same red and white bottle. she has few clothes. This shows that the lady is in fact Homeless and has nowhere to go that's why she's holding up in a Walmart store
iman locke-smith (columbus,OHIO)
i see that the man or woman is at walmart and i see a man or woman in the back so the store must be open for the workers to know he is in there or she. i also see that someone is grocery shopping. i see that the man has a jacket and a cover so he wont be cold because he is in the cold zone
miah (ohio)
@iman locke-smith i think the same thing bestie
Jayla (Ohio)
@iman locke-smith great answer!!
jasiona (ohio)
This looks like a homeless woman sleeping in Walmart. However , she might not be homeless. She might be black Friday shopping.
iman locke-smith (columbus,OHIO)
@jasiona thats good thats sort of what i had
miah (ohio)
I think whats going on in this picture is a girl who might be homeless came in Walmart because it probably was cold outside and she wanted to come in and keep warm because shes probably cold she might not have a place to lay her head so she decided to come in Walmart and lay she laying in the front of the freezer and a ketchup packet from McDonald is on the floor and she might be going there so she can get money from people so she can get her some food and drinks because she might be hungry
makiah (ohio)
1. This picture looks like the girl is homeless and is hungry because i can see ketchup on the floor.looks like the girl is living off of ketchup packets.The girl has a old sheets and looks like she is cold. The girl is in the middle of Walmart. 2. The things that makes me say this because you have to observe closely and see that there is ketchup by the fridge and see she has a water bottle that needs to filled. 3.I can find that she needs family and she a home.
daysha (columbus)
a boy or girl is sleeping in a Walmart. I think he or she is homeless because he or she is going to sleep in a store. I think they're homeless because they have blankets and sheets on the floor and not in a bed. I think they're sleeping in a cold area because they like having a cold enviroment. I think this person is sleeping in a local store so they can have clothes,food,medicine and things of that nature.
a girl was sleeping on the flow (agshdfswh)
she was a bumb so she went in kroger and went to sleep and somebody nosy self too a picture

@a girl was sleeping on the flow took a picture you mean
iman locke-smith (columbus,OHIO)
i see a man or woman in the background shopping so the store must be open for the workers to know the homeless man is there
Terry Williams (America )
What i see is a person on the floor at walmart going to sleep for the night. Also he is near a frozen area so he must be cold and has a blanket so hes warm. Also a man is in the back not paying no attention to the boy in the back
keion (new jersey)

@Zayadoyaa._ im not so sure
iman locke-smith (columbus,OHIO)
what i see is a man or woman in the background shopping so the homeless is aware that workers or police can kick him out or let hiim stay
Terry Williams (America )
@iman locke-smith What do you mean bru
Caleb Moore (Texarkana, AR)
1. In the picture it appears there is a man who maybe homeless trying to sleep in the middle of the floor near the dairy section of a Walmart. 2. I believe this man maybe homeless because why else would he be sleeping in a Walmart? I believe it is a dairy section of a Walmart because of the sign in the background talking about yogurt and the sign to the left with a Rollback deal on what might be butter. I believe he wanted to be seen by people also, because why would he sleep in the colder dairy section when he could just as easily go somewhere that is probably warmer like clothing. 3. I noticed that the store is still open because of the old man in the background shopping for groceries. Also noticed the maybe homeless man has a bottle, magazine, and a jacket with him.
ceangelo (school)
In this picture it appears a person sleeping at a Walmart with a blanket.I think believe its a homeless lady sleeping in Walmart.I noticed that the store is still open.i thin k he wanted to be noticed by people.Why would not the person go to a warmer section.
Zhao (Bogota)
A boy is sleeping on the ground of the supermarket. He looks homeless and cold because he has old sheets, and she is sleeping next to a refrigerator. I noticed that he only has one dirty coat which is thick and sitting next to his head. A ketchup packet is opened and looks like trash next to his coat. As a result, he must be hungry eating free packets from McDonald's. If he only had money, he could buy a ketchup bottle and eat a hotdog.
quack (atlanta)
@Zhao how u know its a boy mate
Kevin Ramos (Canoga Park)
1) There's a homeless person in Walmart trying to go to sleep but it looks like this other person with a camera is bothering him and there is another person doing groceries. 2) I see a homeless person, another person and the Walmart sign 3) I can see a cart on the right side and a Walmart magazine on the floor.
mitchell espinoza (canoga park)
There is a man sleeping/resting on the floor in the grocery store. And he looks worn out and tired There is another man in the back ground that is looking for food to buy All of the items on the shelfs look perfectly ordered, not messy and nothing is missing like nobody has touched them
Ms. Amy (Minneapolis, MN)
Maybe the guy by the milk doesn't have money and he is stealing. Maybe the person on the floor is homeless. We think it is wintertime.
alli,s (@ems)
I was wrong I thought it as a girl, but I did get the black Friday part right but not the homeless. Apparently it wasn't a homeless person.
Rio Bairoa (Puerto Rico)
What is going on in this picture is that there is a homeless woman at walmart store. She's laying on the floor with some blankets. I think she's a woman because of her looks.

Yojany Velasquez (Canoga park high school )
¿What is going on in this picture? In this picture we can see that there is a woman on the floor ¿What do you see that makes you say that? Because the woman is lying on the floor and this seeks of the dairy section ¿What mire can you find? There is a man on the other side looking for something to buy and I think he ignores the woman
Rio Bairoa (Puerto Rico)
@Yojany Velasquez Hi, I made this exercise with my students and this are their theories: Theory #1: There's a homeless lady sleeping at walmart. I think this because I see a mattress, a pillow and a blanket. Theory #2: I see a man waiting on the line for blackfriday sale. I know this because I have experienced it. Theory #3: She is a normal person waiting on a line to buy some tickets for a concert in walmart. She's prepared for the wait with things to sleep and eat. Theory #4: The man went to sleep at walmart because he has no food and a place tio sleep so he went to walmart searching for this.
Ruben Rauda (Canoga Park High School)
- What is going on in this picture? In this picture, there's a women who is laying on the floor. - What do you see that makes you say that? The woman laying on the floor is a homeless person. She is in one of the most recognized supermarkets of U.S.A - What more can you find? There's a lot of products that the woman cannot buy 'cause she doesn't have that money to buy something to eat. Also, this image shows us how homeless people are living in this place around the country.
Fabiola (Palmdale )
What I think is going on in this picture is that the lady that is laying down on the floor that everyone is considering a bum is trying to prove a point by making a statement that not a lot of people care about the homeless people around us

a women on the floor in the grocery store looking like she needs some where to stay and be comfortable
Amari Espinoza (Canoga Park)
It looks like a women is laying down inside of Walmart. She looks homeless and it's a little odd that she's inside instead of outside. Maybe the weather was bad and they allowed her to come inside, which would be a nice thing to do.
jose delgado (canoga park)
There is a woman inside the supermarket laying down that is homeless. Because there is a woman laying down with a blanket inside maybe its raining and let here inside the walmart.
Derrick Anderson (Los Angeles)
@jose delgado I agree jose
Kambin G (Canoga Park HS)
There is a woman lying down on the floor of a dairy section in Walmart, who might be seeking for shelter. I say this because the woman has her blankets and possessions with her, and there are dairy products in the freezers. I can also see that there is an old person ignoring the woman and grabbing some yogurt.
Katherine (CPHS)
What I believe is going on in the picture is that it's trying to show us that our society doesn't seem to pay much attention to homeless people now a days. I see a woman in the back shopping for food in a grocery store and doesn't put much attention to the homeless woman laying down on the floor covering herself with blankets. I also notice the homeless with a food cart with a bit of her stuff in it.
Viance H (CPHS)
- In the picture it shows a lady who looks to be homeless laying in her homemade bed in a grocery store as there is a old man in the back. - The picture makes me say that people aren't caring much for the homeless as the old man is carelessly ignoring the homeless women to continue shopping. - More I can find is people need to start caring for people more such as the homeless.
carolaain estrada (canoga park high school)
I feel like its a homeless lady in a summertime and she just wants to relax in a cold and fresh area rather than in the hot outside.
Lucas (Canoga Park High School)
1. There’s a person sleeping on the floor in the grocery store 2. It showed a person laying down on the floor but its next to butter. 3. There’s another person buying some yogurt.
Madison (California)
1. A lady in a store, laying down on the floor, Most likely taking a nap. 2. A Lady on the floor in a store taking a nap. 3. A lady with a sleeping bag with a mattress she is in Walmart.
luci beltran (Canoga Park )
I see a homeless woman on the ground of a Walmart grocery section. she has her shopping cart next to her with her belongings
Ariana (California)
1) There is a homeless person laying on the ground inside of a grocery store. 2) I see another person shopping and seems to be ignoring the homeless person. 3) I also see that the products of the store are organized very well.
Christy Hernandez (Canoga Park)
I see a women laying on the floor of a Walmart. She is laying down next some Philadelphia cream cheese. She appears to be homeless and has a smile on her face.
david (canoga park )
in this picture i believe people are ignoring the person on the floor at walmart because he's considered a bum. i see the sign with the logo from walmart.
Ricardo (Canoge Park High School)
lady has no home and she's trying to tell people that she needs help because the heat is too much for her and she needs food.
Tommy Benavides (Mexico)
In this picture i see a homeless lady sleeping on the ground. I see there is another person in the background and it seems like he does not care since he is not giving him attention.
Ambber Castillo (Canoga Park )
I see a setting that looks like a grocery store. a woman laying near a cooler in the grocery store the woman has a blanket covering her ,a pillow and a couple items also a man is sopping in the background
Bella Garcia (Canoga Park )
A woman is laying in a dairy aisle in walmart She seems unfortunate and she has everything in a cart There is people behind her and she is the only one laying down
Noe Granados (canoga park)
Theres a lady laying on the floor of walmart seems to be homeless.Theres a walmart logo on the price tag of some cheese,also the lady is resting on the floor seems to be open because theres a person shopping in the back.The lady seems to not get any of help by the way of her look and how society don't care about others anymore.
sandra acosta (cphs)
what is going on in this picture? There is a woman on the floor at the super market what do you see that makes you say that? She is laying down near the dairy section with a whole blanket wrapped around her What more can you find? There is a man in the background looking for something
Lancesoyyy (Canoga Park)
1. We see someone which we assume is homeless but their surroundings are is a supermarket. 2. The person is in a sleeping bad. And all their stuff is laid out on the floor similar to a homeless person. And around then is which I assume is a yogurt aisle. 3. The contrast of the lighting makes it seem sadder and there is a old man looking at the yogurt shopping like that don’t car. Also they probably filmed at Walmart cause I see that Walmart save more sign
Bemennet (Canoga Park High School)
I see a woman laying down in a store with a cart. I can see the woman and that she is in walmart in the food section. I also see that a man is there and doesn't care about why that woman is there.
Jose (Canoga Park, CA)
The picture shown has a person sleeping inside a Walmart, which you can see by the Walmart logo on the item price sign to the right, with a cart full of their other belongings. She is either homeless, protesting or just being lazy and wanting to rest in a cool environment. I see that she is in the frozen section of Walmart because of the yogurt and other dairy products that are behind her and she has a portable chair at the bottom of the cart which would point to her traveling on her own or trying to live there.
Omar (Canoga Park, CA)
I believe this image is meant to show the disparity between low income and common income citizens. I believe this is so because in the back there is an average man shopping for food, while in the front of the image, there is a homeless woman lying on the ground, huddled in her blanket. I also see an assortment or items around her and her sleeping bag. I also see a shopping cart that contains items that might belong to the woman.
cesar (dont trip)
I believe that the person laying down is protesting and the others are ignoring this person because they have already conformed to why she is fighting for.
kobe gonzalez (canoga park high school)
I feel like its a lady in a hot summer looking for somewhere fresh to relax and hang out rather than outside in hot summer.
Ashley (palmdale california)
I believe that this picture represents how people don't care about how our society is now and how people are so rude and don't care about homeless people and don't realize how they don't have anything and we have everything. I see the woman in the back trying to avoid this homeless lady. there are no signs of workers trying to kick this woman out of the store. she has blankets, clothes, and a cart with her. she seems like people in hollywood sleeping on the streets in tents, etc
AlexisS (palmdale california)
@Ashley i think you're 100% correct !
Keri (Lizton, IN)
This is the first time our class has used a live "What's Going On?" photo. They ask me every day what it actually was. I don't see the answer for this one yet. Am I missing something? I told them I'd be able to tell them tomorrow. Thanks!
Alanna (Palmdale )
This picture shows a women on the floor laying down in a grocery store to me I believe that she is out grocery shopping when she would rather be in bed asleep because she is tired.
Shayla Viele ( Camdenton, Missouri)
I am just wondering when you will post the additional information about this photo? I am so excited to share this information with my students and they are all asking :)
Chris Roland (Palmdale )
I personally feel that it’s given a sign and is trying to tell us something which is that homeless doesn’t matter to anyone and nobody really cares about them because it’s not them. They’re not suffering so it’s not affecting them so it shouldn’t matter to them. I get this idea from the lady laying down in the store in a blanket and the man is just shopping and doesn’t care about the lady.
mg (skhs )
I think that this picture represents the world around us. The person behind the woman seems to either be ignoring the fact that the women exist or that she’s there laying down looking like she needs help.She reminds me of the unfortunate people on the streets of all over the world but who knows why she is in the store . She’s placed there as if that is where she is gonna sleep there. She has all of her belongings with here , like it’s her new home.
Ashley (palmdale california)
@mg I love your response its great!
Johnnina (Palmdale)
I think that’s this lady is homeless and decided to take shelter in a Walmart, it’s shows the struggles of being homeless and not knowing where your staying that night or when you next meal will be
Anthony (Whrhs)
This woman is not homeless. She is testing her camping equipment. You can clearly see a water bottle and shoes behind her as well as a jacket in front of her and a thermos at her feet. Not to mention the the shopping cart next to her has a fold up chair in it, garbage bags, and sleeping bags.
Chris Roland (Palmdale )
@Anthony I disagree with this statement I don’t feel like this relates to the picture and it was just made up at the last minute. Not one thing that was said relates to anything in the picture
Matty Z (Palmdale, CA)
@Anthony That seems reasonable
Alysabeth (WHRHS)
In my opinion, I think that this picture represents how, currently, in our society, people don't recognize the things that happen around them. The person behind the woman seems to either be ignoring the fact that the women is there or doesn't even realize she is there. Also, it seems odd that there aren't any employees trying to kick her out of the store. She has blankets, a jacket, and a few other belongings, including a chair, that seem to be her mobile home. She is just like the unfortunate people on the streets of NY, but she may have moved to the store to get more attention for an act of kindness (money, food, water, etc.).
Rebecca (Palmdale, CA)
In this picture I see a lady who may be homeless laid down on the floor at what appears to be in Walmart she has a shopping cart and a jacket then there is a man shopping for yogurt and hes minding his business just walking around her.
italy (california)
I believe that this picture is supposed to represent that there are people struggling and people that are doing good. The image shows a "homeless" person laying on the floor and another person in the back minding their business doing their shopping. I believe that the significance of the picture is to show that we don't care about other people as long as we are doing good.
Wolf Foley (palmdale)
I see a lady camping in Walmart, waiting for a sale to start and she is in colder section maybe because she wants to fall asleep faster because when your surrounded by a colder environments your body starts producing body heat for u can get warmer faster, it makes it easier for people to fall asleep, that why some people keep a fan in their room at night or leave the A.C. unit on.
Cali (WHRHS)
There is a women laying on the floor of the dairy section of a Walmart, she looks cold and and need of help. I say this because she looks upset and not wanting to be there. The person in the back just looks like he doesnt even care.
May (WHRHS)
There is a woman lying alone on the floor in Walmart. It's hard to tell if she's actually homeless or if she's there to prove a point. There is a person behind her that is ignoring her and it shows that people are generally ignorant and uncaring towards the homeless.
Celeste M (palmdale ca)
what i think is going on in this picture is that the lady has no home and shes trying to tell people that she needs help because the heat is too much for her and she needs food.
mg (skhs )
@Celeste M i completely agree
Jason G (Warren, NJ)
I think it's a homeless lady who has no where to stay for the hurricane and decided she should shelter in a walmart as it is safer than being on the streets.
Dayna (Watchung Hills)
It is strange that there are very few people in the photo in a Walmart. It is almost as if they are avoiding her. She is not homeless as there is a new magazine and a heavy duty looking thermos next to her. The blanket and jacket also look relatively new and clean. She seems like shes trying to demonstrate how the homeless are ignored on the streets. Another viewer suggested that she is a natural disaster refugee but that also raises the question why is she the only one.
sophia c (whrhs)
I think that she is a person waiting for sales to go on in Walmart. She had a catalog and shopping carts near her. If she was homeless more people would notice her and give her more attention but I do not think she is homeless because she looks clean and the blanket looks new.
Ally (Whrhs)
I think this women is trying to show how people often overlook homeless people. She is contrasting between how someone would look at a homeless person on the streets verses in a store. On the streets, homeless people become so common that most people look away. However, in this picture, the women seems to be grasping more attention and obviously creating a controversy. I don't think she is homeless herself, but protesting against people who are. She looks pretty clean and appears as if she wants this picture to be taking by directly looking at the camera.
Aubree J (@ems)
@Ally Very optimistic! What made you think of this?
Pramity (WHRHS)
This image is showing a probably a homeless woman who is using Walmart as their temporary shelter, maybe because of cold weather. You can see that although she is in the middle of the isle, no one is paying attention to her (except the person taking the photo). It shows, unfortunately, how society remains unbothered by the issue of poverty because of how relevant it is.
Brian H (Watchung Hills )
I think that in this photo it is showing a girl who went homeless and since the outside is so hot the frozen dairy isle was the perfect place to go for refuge. Also it may be an area where workers rarely go to, she also looks nervous about the picture so she is obviously trying to remain in secret in the cool store, possibly escaping bad weather with no homeless shelters nearby to hold refuge in.
Alice (WHRHS)
A woman is lying on the floor in Walmart. Maybe she is there seeking refuge because of a natural disaster or she has to no where to go. But maybe she is just there for fun because she would of likely been told to leave.
Gilberto S. (Palmdale, CA)
What i see in this picture is a lady trying to demonstrate how there is homeless people and people don't even bother to help out or hear them out on why they are in the position they're in. What makes me see this is the guy in the back just doing what hes supposed to and not even paying attention to the "homeless" person that is right there sitting down.I also see how little resources she has but she lives with what she has.
Emily M. (WHRHS)
I believe the woman is trying to give a message. She is in a location where many people could pass her, since she's in a store. There is no reason to not see her and help considering that she is in the middle of the dairy section.
Kelly (WHRHS)
It could possibly be a social experiment where they're testing how people would react to homeless people in a store rather than on the streets. Or it could just be a homeless women taking refuge in a Walmart and she just woke up from a nap.
Aubree J (@ems)
@Kelly I like your take on this! Its very optimistic to think its social experiment. Nice thinking!!
Melinda Lira (Palmdale, CA)
I think that what is going on in this picture is that this woman is trying to rove a point that many homeless people are struggling and cannot even afford somewhere to live or food to eat. I believe this because she is in the middle of the store right where people are shopping for themselves. I think this could be a PSA to raise awareness.
Fabiola (Palmdale )
@Melinda Lira i completely agree with you ! It’s true maybe she just needed a place to sleep or to prove a point about spreading awareness to the homeless !
Ncortez (Los Angeles )
There is a homeless lady laying on the floor of Walmart In the dairy section on top of a blanket and and covered with a blanket and her cart is next to her with a chair inside it and other belongings. There is also a man shopping for yogurt.
Claudia (whrhs)
There is what looks like a homeless woman on the ground of Walmart. To me it seems like the photo is staged because an employee would probably tell her to move if she was there for awhile and everything that is around her looks pretty new.
Jaime (Palmdale)
I think that she is trying to make a point that many people need a place to live. Or she might be starting to get ready to camp out for black Friday specials.
Nicholas (whrhs)
There is a woman sleeping on the ground in the dairy section of a Walmart. It seems like a staged representation of rich and poor and the lifestyle they live. This photo seems to send a message of something that is happening rather than a candid shot.
Jason G (Warren, NJ)
The lady seems to be homeless, sleeping in the middle of the store while the woman in the back seems to be unbothered by whats happening.
Mina L. (KHS)
I feel like the lady is conducting a social experiment. I think that her being inside of a grocery store is to show that no one really pays attention or cares about the stuff in their surroundings as long as it doesn't affect them. Although she is perceived as homeless, the man in the back takes no notice to her.
Melinda Lira (Palmdale, CA)
I think that what is going on in this picture is that she's trying to prove a point that there are homeless people struggling to buy their own food and she is suffering like many others. This could be like a PSA to raise awareness.
Olivia (WHRHS)
She is testing out camping equipment that she is considering to buy in Walmart. She looks well taken care of, so it makes sense that she can afford what she's surrounded by.
Alex (WHRHS)
After viewing this picture, it is clear that this is a protest. This picture is of an apparent homeless person, but instead of the person being out on the streets, they are in a supermarket. The message is that the homeless are normally ignored, but by having the person lay in the supermarket makes it harder to ignore the person. This will raise awareness of the issue of homelessness.
Luis (M.)
At first i just saw a couple of homeless lying down in Walmart while the man behind them is buying stuff for himself .we can not even tell in reality what is going on because we can not even tell if they are felling good at all or what is going on in this picture but i did see the girl just lying down on the ground and maybe she is just waiting for some food or something like that.
Hannah WHRHS (New Jersey)
This woman is sleeping in Walmart. She likely has not been there for a long time. She may be homeless, or may be making a statement.
Stevey H (WHRHS)
The lady is homeless and she is in sleeping in a walmart. I think that the photographer is trying to send a message using the picture.
Ivan S (Palmdale)
I think this woman is organizing the products on display, so that she may be given a place to rest. It may be her way of saying “thank you”, for recieving some sort of roof over her head. Another thing that can be easily spotted is the man in the back of the photo only taking intrest in the products he is willing to buy and not the homeless woman behind him.
rey c. (KHS)
i feel that this is one of the social experiments that many people use to see how our society will react to controversial topics, mostly. the lady is perceived as homeless in a grocry store, Walmart. the social experiment would be seeing how people would react to a homeless person in a store, where it is mostly uncommon to see and thousands of people go to. it appears that nobody cares about it or is acting upon it. one can say she is homeless beause she is sleeping on the floor and she has a tent or something similar and a chair in a cart near her.
M (W H R H S)
A woman is sleeping on the ground at Walmart. I see a woman on the ground maybe she is homeless maybe not. She may be just relaxing. She has a jacket, a blanket, and she is sleeping on something.
Victor S. (Palmdale, CA)
I feel like the homeless woman is inside of Walmart trying to stay indoors and not be outdoors. She might be trying to escape the harsh conditions of the hurricane that is approaching the East Coast. She is in blankets sleeping on the floor which means it is better than sleeping outside.
adrien sanchez (palmdale )
this lady has a lot of courage for sleeping in walmart. But it really shows how people are struggling nowadays its really sad.
Moses S. (Palmdale, CA)
To me, this picture represents the idea of greediness and self-care. This society pushes the idea that helping others when they're at there lowest point isn't necessary , rather you should focus on yourself. I clearly see that as the man in the back shopping shows no remorse for the homeless individual laying on the floor. Other things in this picture such as the savings shows the true lack of the actual "savings" for the lower class.
Vincent (WHRHS)
In this picture, a homeless woman is resting in a Walmart in her sleeping bag while other people continue to shop. The lady sleeping in the sleeping bag and several of her gatherings around her makes me say that. I can also see the man shopping in the back which implies that nobody pays attention to her and people keep moving on in their lives despite the homelessness
Nathan (WHRHS)
Looking at the lady on the ground, it looks like she is homeless and wants somewhere to sleep. But taking a look at what she has with her, it doesn't exactly seem like she is homeless. The person in the background also shows how ignorant people can be of the homeless. This could possibly be a protest to show how ignorant people can be towards homeless people.
Axer (Palmdale, CA)
i feel that she is trying to demonstrate something like an experiment to see if anyone would get a reaction or do something
Gilberto S. (Palmdale, CA)
@Axer I agree with you because there is not many people who will do something for homeless and just ignore them.
Alanna (Palmdale )
@Axer I agree with you
Karv199224 (Palmdale, CA)
1) This person is either waiting for the prices to go down, or just living there since he/she has no where to go. 2) What this confirms the prices it that he has coupons in arm reach, plus the shopping cart seems very convincing that he's staying their for the night. 3) Why is no one questioning that this person is just on the floor, either their used to homeless people living where ever, or something else.
Nathan P (Palmdale, CA)
I feel that she is trying to give a sign. that there are people out there who struggle to live. And some people can not eat good and its too hot outside for the homeless.
Robert Walker (Palmdale, CA)
I think the people are filming a movie in a market because the person on the floor with clothes and cover looking straight at the camera. I see a roll of paper on the floor.
Melinda Lira (Palmdale, CA)
@Robert Walker I agree because it looks like they're trying to get the attention of others.
Matty Z (Palmdale, CA)
I think the picture is homeless women looking for somewhere to spend the night at a Walmart. She looking for someone to save her by talking or helping her out with her finances. She can also be camping, out waiting for something.
Bivian Arreguin (Pete Knight High School)
In this picture it just looks like there is a lady who may or may not be homeless. Just lying down with her made bed on the grown in a grocery store. It looks that way because there is a food isle behind her while a man is shopping.
Rebecca (Palmdale, CA)
@Bivian Arreguin I agree with you
Salvador Avalos (Palmdale, CA)
I feel like this lady is putting on some sort of demonstration of the homeless. It shows how society is so unbothered by this issue. Just look at the person in the back, they have no regard for the "homeless" woman inside the store.
Nathan P (Palmdale, CA)
@Salvador Avalos I agree with you !!
Axer (Palmdale, CA)
@Salvador Avalos i agree with you on this good point
Mina L. (KHS)
@Salvador Avalos I agree with your opinion. People take no notice to the things around them.
DonnaC (Palmdale Ca.)
I feel that the homeless women is sleeping in Walmart because maybe she feels that she'll get more attention or money because no really has a choice but to notice in her in the middle of the store so she has a better chance of getting some spare change or a dollar.
Karv199224 (Palmdale, CA)
@DonnaC I didn't notice the price tags on each item, so I just glanced over the fact that it was taken at walmart. Take pictures for less, I guess
Moses S. (Palmdale, CA)
@DonnaC I disagree, the woman is a symbol of greed not in the woman but with the man in the back and every other shopper there.
Mariana Ortega (Palmdale, California)
What appears to be happening in this photo is that there is a homeless person sleeping on the floor at walmart in the frozen food section. It also appears that no one is helping her whatsoever. I say that because she is a alone and sad because she is without a place to sleep and everyone around her is not paying attention to her at all. She may also be used to the cold so she decided to pick that section
Trinity Burnett (Palmdale )
I think this picture is in Walmart, in the frozen food section. This picture describes how cold people are, who don’t even bother to help a homeless woman. She could’ve slept in a warmer place, or another section of the store. I believe that she’s used to the cold that she decided to sleep there. There is a man in the back buying yogurt, but isn’t paying no mind to the cold lady. Back to the lady, her eyes are open and she has a catalog with really expensive items that she obviously can’t purchase. She is next to a cart, that seems to be holding her only possessions. She is trying to get some sleep, and nobody is paying attention to her, or even offering to buy her anything. Employees probably don’t allow this, but nobody cares enough.
rey c. (KHS)
@Trinity Burnett i agree with your opinion how nobody is even giving her a care in the world.
Derek (California)
This image shows a homeless woman sleeping on the floor in a Walmart. Her main goal appears to be noticed, but no one pays attention to her at all.
Bivian Arreguin (Pete Knight High School)
@Derek I agree
Celeste M (palmdale ca)
@Derek i agree and she should be noticed by people because i think she wants wants and shes trying to get peoples attentiong by doing that.
L Asp (Los Angeles)
@Derek Great response and great observation
Brooke Steedman (Palmdale California)
In this picture it shows a homeless lady laying down on the floor of Walmart with her sleeping stuff with a magazine on beside of her. The other person that is in the same section as her is paying no regards to her presence. Another thought is that the person isn't homeless at all but just doing an experiment to see if anyone does anything and from what I see nobody is concerned which is sad.
Steven Armijo (California)
This picture shows a homeless woman sleeping in the middle of a Walmart specifically in the cold refrigerated area hints why she is using blankets. I also notice that no one is curious or cares that she is laying down and she lays down awake because she may be hungry.
Adam (PAlmdale)
I believe i think to be a homeless woman who’s in walmart trying to get some sleep in the store and people are used to seeing homeless people so they pay no mind to her.
katyg (Palmdale, California)
There is a person laying on the of a grocery store which seems to be Walmart. Can't really tell if its a woman or a man but maybe he or she a homeless and need shelter and a place to rest. In the picture i also notice that there is a person shopping but does not put any attention to the person on the ground. The person seems to not care or try to help out the person its a bit sad but also we ourselves have our things to deal with so i wouldn't blame him.
Melanie Perez (Palmdale, Ca)
This picture shows a homeless women laying down in the dairy section. She looks really cold and in need of help. Then there is a man in the back grabbing something like if she wasn't there sleeping on the floor. It shows that some people don't care to help in the world. The woman has a discount book from Walmart which could mean that she is waiting on stuff to get on discount for her to buy cause she doesn't have a lot money. Or maybe she is camping out for a TV sale , like maybe for Black Friday.
DESTINY MORGAN (PALMDALE CALIFORNIA)
After looking closely at the image before me, I believe that this photo is taken at Walmart and the lady in the photo is perhaps homeless. I'm able to make that assumption because she's under blankets and what seems to me lying there trying to get comfortable. I believe she was trying to find warmth and instead of being outside in the cold so she decided to lay in Walmart. I feel like the people in the store noticed her but decides to ignore her presence.
Ivan S (Palmdale)
@DESTINY MORGAN I agree with you and the whole topic of people ignoring her presence
2nd Period (Palmdale )
In this picture she is waiting on the t.v. sell that is happening that Saturday, looks like she really wants it if she set up camp.
Da'Shawn (palmdale)
I see a man picking up sour cream or butter and theres a lady laying down shes homeless. Her eyes are open and she looks hungry. But nobody notice her like shes not there. People are just ignoring her.
Robert Walker (Palmdale, CA)
@Da'Shawn I disagree I think its an act.
nel (hawaii)
i think this person in walmart, that is in the frozen section, is homeless because she looks like shes sleeping in the middle of the store which she couldve went somewhere warmer but shes used to the cold.
nimi (heritage academy)
i disagree with you because this person is not in homeless at all there just filming and second she is not sleeping she is awake she is just laying down and third there filming because of the man who is shopping behind her and he doesn't care about her or look at her at all and i don't think someone would be allowed to sleep in walmart.
Adam (PAlmdale)
@nel I very much agree with your point of view and I think that’s what the picture is about.
N.hssn (2846882)
@nel Id disagree with you because someone who is homeless wouldn't go to sleep in a store because it would probably be illegal or they might get kicked out. I think that she is doing some sort or challenge or prank for entertainment purpose.
nel (hawaii)
in this picture it shows that theres a homeless lady in the frozen section, which looks like its where the yogurt and butter and stuff is at, i think shes homeless because it looks like shes sleeping there, but i dont know how because im sure walmart doesnt let people sleep in the middle of the store.
Raqiya (heritage)
@nel I disagree with your answer because the Walmart worker would of kicked her out if she was homeless because it a shop and they want business but if she was sleep in the middle of the dairy section the it would scare people away.
DAJOUR LEWIS (PALMDALE CALIFORNIA )
In this picture there is a person which is seems to be homeless laying down in Walmart. This picture shows me that people don't care where you are they won't even try to help you out. It sad how people in today's world are. But picture yourself in that homeless persons shoes and everyone is ignoring you. How would you feel ? Would you ever ignore someone that is in need of help? You should always want to help the people because you'll get blessed when you need something.
DESTINY MORGAN (PALMDALE CALIFORNIA)
@DAJOUR LEWIS i agree.
Brooke Steedman (Palmdale California)
@DAJOUR LEWIS I agree even though they may notice the homeless person they aren't doing anything about it to help.
Salvador Avalos (Palmdale, CA)
@DAJOUR LEWIS I agree with everything you said.
Victor (California)
In this image we can see a homeless woman laying down in a Walmart trying to get some sleep. She's lying in the middle of the store and no one seems to pay her any mind at all.
Jonathan Waas (Cali)
It is a homeless woman sleeping on the floor of what seems to be a walmart. The food and the sign show that the woman is in a walmart having to resort to making the store a home. Another obvious event in the picture is there is a man who is ignoring the woman, not bothered by her presence and not deciding to help.
Derek (California)
@Jonathan Waas I agree
A.V. (palmdale )
In this picture there is a woman laying on the floor in walmart near the frozen section. Her eyes are open which makes it seem as if she wants people to notice her and help her, but she wants to see if they do notice her .
Andres Enriquez (CALIFORNIA)
There is what looks to be a homeless person, who established their bed in perhaps a grocery store. The fact that the person is sleeping in a place were people usually don't sleep in a food store makes me think that they are homeless. or is going through a rough time. I can also see that people are kind of ignoring that person, because the person in the background is not bothered by their presence.
ikram (herritage accademy)
so i think the women out there is not homeless base on the evidence that we have here, well the women doesn't look homeless because she is wearing clean cloth, and market keeper won't let a homeless sleep on there place.
salma (Minneapolis )
@ikram i certainly agree with you. because nobody would let a homeless person sleep on there floor. its bad for the brand there trying to built. I think she either works there or asked the manger for permission.
Victor (California)
@ikram I have to disagree with you. First off, you can't see what she's wearing so how would you know if she was wearing clean cloth. Second off, a market keeper won't let anybody sleep there, homeless or not. That being said I believe she is homeless and is trying to get sleep.
Kenneth churchill (port orchard washington)
@Victor she is waiting for midnight for the black friday sales
Aylin (California)
In this image, it seems as if Walmart and their shoppers are not noticing the homeless who need help. It seems as if the homeless is making a statement about attention for help.
Jonathan Waas (Cali)
@Aylin They notice the homeless person there but they're not helping. The homeless person is actually just looking for a place to stay but not making a statement
khalid (heritage academy)
@Aylin i agree with you there's people just buying there grocery and they don't even notice her and i think shes making a statement like people don't really notice homeless people.
Maria (California)
In this picture what I see is a woman’s sleeping I be the a walmart. I think the man behind the woman is with her because it seems like here we here’s two people laying down in that blanket. It would make sense because the man can see her if he where turn around but he isn’t doing anything so that makes me think he’s is with her
leandro (palmdadle )
she should move to a warmer spot as she seems cold in the dairy section. If she moved to a warmer part of the building she would be able to use the blanket as a pillow for proper neck support.
Hooyotha (Washburn High)
@leandro I agree with you because she's sleeping in the cold section of the store, but I don't think she should be in that store at all because it can close on her anytime.
Albert I. (Palmdale, CA)
In this picture I see a homeless woman living in a Walmart. The person is trying to get the shoppers and the employees to feel bad for them and help them.
Raul (Palmdale CA)
@Albert I. I think we can same thing in this picture
Eduardo (Lancaster)
This photo shows a woman having no where to sleep so she has to sleep in the grocery store while there’s someone else in the back that is shopping and can actually afford it
K.A.H (Hawks)
@Eduardo i don't agree with you because the women doesn't look homeless as you can see her clothes are not dirty. rather i think that she doing a challenge of some sort
Albert Ivy (Palmdale, CA)
In this picture I see a homeless person living in a Walmart. The person is trying to get attention of the shoppers and the employees but some people didn’t pay attention to the person
Mariah (California)
It’s obvious that there is a homeless person sleeping at a grocery store and behind that person is another person maybe grocery shopping. I think the whole concept of the photo is that sometimes as human beings we disregard or ignore the homeless and the poor. Such as the person grocery shopping
MG (Heritage)
@Mariah I disagree with you because I don't think Walmart would allow homeless people to sleep in their supermarkets, especially during open hours. It might be a form of protest which is why the Walmart employees are not as quick to kick them out.
Luulay (Heritage Academy )
@Mariah I agree with you. The people seem to not be bothered by the homeless women and are minding there own business.
Ruwayda (MN)
@Mariah I agree with you people sometimes people don't acknowledge certain type of people and that the person behind the person doesn't have audacity to speak or confront the person.
Raul (Palmdale CA)
In this picture I see what I think an Asian homeless women living inside a Walmart
Albert I. (Palmdale, CA)
@Raul I think it’s a good idea of what it is
Albert Ivy (Palmdale, CA)
@Raul I think you need to put more detail in this but you can be on a good track
Juan Serrano (KHS)
In this photograph, I see what looks like a homeless woman sleeping on a Walmart floor. I say this because I can see all of the camping equipment that she herself possesses and what is in her cart.What stands out is that the man in the background doesn’t seem to care at all.
Maria (California)
@Juan Serrano I think the man doesn’t care because I think he’s with her. The blanket seems like two people where there.
Bryan Michel (Palmdale)
So what I see in this picture is that Walmart employees aren’t getting paid enough and because of that they’re forced to sleep inside Walmart.
Mariah (California)
@Bryan Michel this is a great idea. That would explain the statement the employee is trying to make!
A.V. (palmdale )
@Bryan Michel I agree with you but you also have to think, what makes this person seem like an employee, yes that’s a possibility but they can also be homeless trying to make a point
Jordan (St. Paul, MN)
Someone is camped out on the floor of a 24/7 Walmart. I think this person is most likely waiting for a sale to happen in the store. I believe this is happening in the United States because all of the signs are in English. The person appears to be camping out because they are laying down covered in blankets. This person also has a coupon that says Saturday only which means they are probably waiting for this sale to start. I think it is interesting that the shopper in the back of the picture seems to be unbothered by the person just laying there on the floor.
Abdi (Heritage)
@Jordan I agree because she has a coupon for Saturday deals for Televisions.
Hamdi (Minneapolis)
@Jordan I agree with you that the person laying on the floor is waiting for a sale and noticing that she had a coupon was very specific.
katyg (Palmdale, California)
@Hamdi this is actually really smart something i didn't notice!
Rio Coamo (Puerto Rico)
Hi...First, we think that the person in the picture is an asian woman because of her looks, eventhough a guy from the group thinks is a man for the clothes beside him. Theory 1: He or she is a homeless person that is seeking for attention in a public place, in this case walmart, trying to make a statement about poverty. Theory 2: He or she is a youtuber that might be doing an experiment on how persons react when they see homeless people, because this is very common in United States.
Michael (WHRHS)
In this picture I see a homeless woman sleeping in a Walmart. I say that because she's sleeping in a Walmart and her possession are in a shopping cart. What most stands out too me is the man in the background ignoring the woman.
Angela (WHRHS)
I believe this is a homeless woman and it is very hot outside therefore is cooling off in the frozen section of Walmart.
Anthony WHRHS (NJ)
I see a possibly homeless person camping out in Walmart or she can have a overnight shift in Walmart and she has nowhere to go.
anthony (whrhs)
This person has no where to stay. She is sleeping in the cold section because it is hot outside.
julian (watchung hills regional highschool)
she should move to a warmer spot as she seems cold in the dairy section. If she moved to a warmer part of the building she would be able to use the blanket as a pillow for proper neck support.
Jadyn (WHRHS)
I believe there is a woman laying down in Walmart. It could be very hot outside and she needed somewhere to rest that is cold.
Bianca (Whrhs)
I believe that the women there is a fired Walmart worker that wasn't payed or treated well by the Walmart managers. Now she is protesting and at the same time has no where else to go, so she decides to camp out int he Walmart freezer section.
Justin (WHRHS)
In this picture i believe there is a working woman who FELL ASLEEP ON THE JOB! someone later found out she fell asleep and took a picture to show her boss.
Najmo (heritage)
@Justin I agree with you because she seems to know where to sleep.
ikram (herritage accademy)
@Justin i disagree because if someone see a person sleeping on the floor they will come and ask what is wrong with the person at first no one is going to take a picture of someone laying on floor without knowing what happen to them.
Nick (WHRHS)
So what is going on is that she is sleeping, she is on a bed, she is very very cold.
Olivia (WHRHS)
What I see is a women wrapped in blankets on the floor in the dairy section of Walmart, most likely a homeless person who has nowhere to go. Outside was maybe too cold so she went into a Walmart to sleep inside where there were heaters. I say this because there is a person in the background wearing a coat so it might be cold outside.
ethan (WHRHS)
I think that there is a storm coming and she is taking shelter in Walmart. she is in Walmart with a sleeping bag laying on the floor. I dont think Walmart would let somebody sleep on their floors. Walmart must have offered their store as a shelter for people to stay away from the storm.
Jack V (WHRHS)
What I believe is going on in this picture is a male female or LGBT person. We are not allowed to assume genders. But I believe she is in Walmart to protest against rotten foods and nasty odors. This makes me feel glad for someone who is standing up and trying to fix a problem in the world. I hope people follow this person.
Sophie (WHRHS)
I believe this person doesn't have a home so when it gets hot outside in the Summer they camp in the cold section of the grocery store to keep cool.
Nathalia (WHRHS)
I think that this person is homeless or having money problems. They probably work there and thought that their work was the only safe place they can stay in. They're somewhere cold so they can get food and is using blankets and a mattress that is probably from the store itself. The store is Wal-mart so it's a very popular place to shop in, showing the customer in background which the person in the blanket is hiding from.
Gina (WHRHS)
This woman is homeless or poor, she could be sleeping there overnight because it looks like she has a lot of blankets
gabby m. (whrhs)
i feel like this picture represents the lower class. Its a women trying to sleep inside of walmarts dairy asle. Probably homeless, trying to find an inside place for better climate during maybe a colder season. Walmart is known for their low prices which is probably why she decided to get supplies and camp out there
DAJOUR LEWIS (PALMDALE CALIFORNIA )
@gabby m. I like your response.
Ryan Lin (whrhs)
This women is probably expressing an opinion regarding Walmart. she wouldn't be an employee because they would be kicked out
Tyrel (whrhs)
I think that this women is camping out in the Walmart waiting for that half off sale to be the first one there to be beat the rush of people coming in.
Annie (WHRHS)
I believe this woman is homeless and doesn't have a place to live so she's sleeping at Walmart temporarily. I believe this because there's a ketchup packet on the ground next to her, along with a water bottle on her other side.
Jake H WHRHS (NJ)
I think she is homeless in the summer and just wants somewhere to sleep. It is hot outside to he/she went into the frozen section to cool off
Aina Rizvi (whrhs)
In this picture, the woman is camped out in Walmart ready to go to sleep. She's most likely trying to be protesting for some reason or trying to be safe. I can tell because she's on the floor with a sleeping bag and items to stay overnight.
Makenna D (WHRHS)
I believe that the person in the picture is homeless because of the sleeping bag and blankets as well as some clothes. If she lives in the south, she could be camping out in Walmart to take shelter during the hurricane.
Jordan (Whrhs)
This picture is taking place in Walmart. It seems like this person is homeless and has nowhere to go and wants to stay cool because maybe she is cold but at the same time she wants to be comfortable. She seems to stay hydrated with water on the side of her. By her facial expression that she seems a little sad because she maybe wants to be in her own home and not her local Walmart.
Klay (WHRHS)
In this photo, I believe it displays someone who is sleeping in the refrigerator area. No one seems to be caring about this, as if it is normal.
Shulfert (NWHS)
I believe this person is some sort of hunter or outdoors expert who is preparing themselves for an expedition out into the wilderness somewhere in Montana or North Dakota. This person looks somewhat bewildered and definitely looks like they own anywhere from 4-13 huskies for this exact purpose. The dairy isle in Walmart are notorious for being quite frigid and typically have a temperature between 15-49 degrees Fahrenheit. This person should be considered a genius for thinking of this way for preparation because this is probably 100 percent effective.
Anthony WHRHS (NJ)
@Shulfert Me too
Madison C (CA)
I believe that the woman laying down is waiting for a sale to occur on Saturday. I predict that due to the fact that there is a magazine on her blanket that says “Saturday Only!” along with reduced TV prices and pictures of the TVs. The other thing I can see is that she is at walmart due to the common sun-like savings logo in the dairy aisle.
Sophie (WHRHS)
That is a very good assumption. @Madison C
j (h)
I think shes in there cause of the hurricane
natalie (California)
In this photo, there is a homeless woman laying on the floor in the dairy section of a Wal-Mart. She has blankets covering her, probably because the dairy section is cold. There is also someone shopping in the background. I assume the woman is homeless because it appears that all her belongings are with her, and I assume it's Wal-Mart because the logo is on a price sign. There is a magazine near the woman's feet advertising a TV, so it is possible she is staying overnight to make sure she gets that TV.
Isaac (California)
What I see going on in this picture is someone resting in a Walmart store. What I see that makes me say that is a makeshift bed on the ground with a couple personal items. I can find that they may still be on the move since they have a chair and a shopping cart still.
Abby (NWHS Maryland)
It looks like there are two people in the picture; a person sleeping on the floor, and a person in the back of the store. It seems like the person on the floor doesn’t have many possessions and it looks like said person will be spending the night in the store (blanket, sheets, etc.). I also suspect that the store they are in is Walmart because of the symbol that you can see on the sign in the background. There is also a shopping cart in the back which I suspect belongs to the person on the floor. So I believe that this picture is showing a Walmart opening its doors at night and letting people who don’t have access to proper shelter stay there.
Mayra Orozco (KHS)
1. A women laying on the floor of a Walmart with a cart filled with her belongings. On a sleeping bag covered with another blanket on her. You can also note that she has a reusable bottle of water behind her. I can also see a small ketchup packet and a magazine. A man in the back grabbing yogurt which can give away that this is located in the dairy section of Walmart. 2.The context of this picture makes it clear that the women is homeless, she is in a local store laying on the floor. The cart also gives a huge hint that she does not have much stuff with her. I'm sure when homeless you try to carry the least things as possible and just carry the necessities. 3.There isn't much more that you point out in the picture besides the items and sale signs that are up for the customers.
AranzaE (Palmdale)
After taking a good look at this picture I notice a lady laying down at a Walmart. You can see it's a walmart by the logo on the price sign. Furthermore she's covered and the lady in the back doesn't seem to have a care in the world about her. I predict this picture shows a lady that is staying at walmart after some kind of catastrophe in her location. Inclusively you can see she has been staying there for a while since her cart has a chair on the bottom , she has a magazine and plenty of blankets.
Ian (NWHS)
So I see a whole lot of dairy, a person on the floor and a person standing up. The person on the ground was likely shopping for dairy products and decided to try some. Upon tasting the product, the person on the floor became aware that they were lactose intolerant and became gassy and had a stomach ache. But not to fear because the WalMart employees are here! The employees came in clutch and hooked the person up with a blanket and sleeping bag out of their camping isle. They then gave the person a jacket to keep them warm if they ever needed to get up and use the bathroom. After seeing what dairy did to the person on the floor, the person standing up went to put back the yogurt that they were about to buy leaving their cart on the edge of the aisle.
K. Lemus (khs)
In the picture you can see a homeless woman resting in a Walmart on the floor in a makeshift bed. She appears to be in the dairy section with a man in the background looking at which products to buy. Next to the woman is a shopping cart with clothing on and in it. This can be inferred through the specific objects around the woman like the worn out and dirty blankets surrounding her and the fact that she is "living" in the Walmart because she most likely has no where else to go for protection from the elements. You can also see the woman's personal belongings such as her water bottle and a magazine next to where she's laying down. The price tag also shows that the dairy in the rectangular container is on sale and that the man looking at dairy products isn't phased by the homeless lady on the Walmart floor.
Ashley A. (KHS)
In this picture I see a woman laying in the dairy aisle cold and possibly unable to afford any products in the store which could mean that she’s homeless. What makes me say this is that by her laying in the dairy aisle in the store could represent the cold nights she experiences alone which is also why she’s wrapped in her comforter. I also see the Walmart price tag on the top left corner that says 44¢. She’s not shopping for food with such low prices but laying down on the floor instead. The man in the back shopping also seems to be ignoring her, like how some people ignore the homeless instead of helping them by giving them something worth at least 44¢. In this photo I can also find a few magazines laying by the woman’s side, a chair under the shopping cart, a ketchup packet under the railing and a bottle next to the woman’s side.
Wahid Dawari (Canoga Park High School)
What's going on? There is a woman laying in the dairy isle with blankets for a tv sale. Also there is a man in the background shopping for yogurt. What makes me say this? What makes me say this is that there is a TV sales magazine next to the woman, and there are dairy products in the background so we know it is the dairy isle. What more can I find? What more that I found was that this is taking place in Walmart because of the sign.
AB (Los Angeles)
In this picture the woman seems to be sleeping in a Walmart because she may have lost her home due to not having a lot of money and there’s an elderly man in the background that seems to not care. I came up with this because the woman is sleeping on the floor of a Walmart, prices in the store are low and it seems to be fully stocked.
Allison (Palmdale )
What’s going on in this picture is a woman “camping” inside of a store while someone shops. What makes me say this is that she has a sleeping bag and she’s laying in it, also you can see all the groceries in the back. I can also find a shopping cart and signs of how much an item costs.
Mrs. Fitz (Charlottesville, VA)
Hello there! I am writing to share a few of the noticings and wonderings of my fifth graders. We noticed that while it is unusual that there would be a person laying on the floor of a Walmart, the man in the background does not seem to be concerned, and no one else is coming to check on her or to ask her to leave. This lead us to wonder if what she was doing was legal, and if she perhaps had permission to be there. We were wondering where this Walmart was located and if it could possibly be somewhere in the path of a hurricane, in which case maybe this person was taking shelter at the store. We are so excited and curious to see what is actually happening in this picture! Thank you for sharing it with us! Mrs. Fitz's Moon Bears
Valerie (NWHS Maryland)
I think that in the picture there is a homeless women who is sleeping inside a Walmart. I see the Walmart logo on the different signs like the save even more sign. The woman also has blankets around her and she is sleeping and lying on a sleeping bag as her mattress. You can also see a shopping cart in the back near her with other things but not filled with things from Walmart. She is also carrying a water bottle with her.
LM (KHS)
What is going on in this picture? In the photo there is a woman laying on the ground on a sleeping bag covered in a blanket in Walmart in front of the cream cheese that has a sign on it that says it’s on sale. There is a man in the background shopping for yogurt that is on sale. What do you see that makes you say that? The woman is laying there with a blanket covering her and there are signs showing how the prices are reduced. What more can you find? It looks like there is a magazine on the blanket that has TVs displayed on it, there is a blue container that looks like a water bottle near her, and there is a shopping cart next to her.
italy (california)
@LM i agree you made really good points.
Creative Writing (NWHS Maryland)
In this picture, there appears to be a woman or man, with the appearance of them being in their early or late 30s. As well as how they are wrapped in a blanket, that is grey and has red and green spiral markings. The blanket is on top of an icy azure mat, that may be used to cushion them so that they are not in pain from the impact on the floor. There is a small translucent bottle with a pink top behind them, a flannel pillow, and magazines that seem to be selling televisions. Perhaps there is some sort of sale that is going on? There is also a large blue canister at the foot of the blanket. And a large black bag that is open, maybe it is used for carrying packages or produce? Also, they appear to be laying next to a bin full of packages in the shape of cheese, that are on sale for $1.18. There also appear to be two shopping carts, a crimson bag hanging from the railing of the large bin, and an electric socket. There is also a man in the background who is not acknowledging the person on the floor. They may have some type of relationship. As well as he is getting yogurt. The electric socket may imply how they are using the energy from the bin to charge whatever supply that they need in order to save money. There are also bags inside of the shopping cart, also what appears to be a foldable chair to perhaps sit on. Maybe this person, works at this store and is taking a break? The store may also be a Walmart from the magazine, and maybe they are just waiting to buy a TV.

In this picture there is a woman in a Walmart laying on the floor in the dairy section with a man shopping in the background minding his own business. She appears to have a blankets and pillows and there is a shopping cart with a folding chair and what appears to be a bag. I believe that this is for some video because I doubt that a random Walmart will someone just lay in the middle of their store.
AE (KHS)
I see what I assume to be a homeless woman in a makeshift bed in the diary section of Walmart. There's a man in the background who appears to be ignoring her or hasn't seen her state yet. Her belongings are scattered around her, so she might be trying to catch people's attention.
Nohemy (Palmdale )
1. What is going on in this picture? There is a woman who appears to be homeless laying on the floor with blankets and she is in the dairy section of a walmart, there also is a man shopping behind her. 2. What do you see that makes you say that? Her laying on the floor with blankets makes me think that she is poor or something like that. There is a walmart symbol which lets me know where the location is. 3. What more can you find? I see that there is a shopping cart next to the woman.
Ruben Olivas Jr (Los Angeles)
What's going on in this picture? A girl is laying down on the floor at Walmart with a blanket and has a paper about black Friday, I think. Also, there's a man looking through the dairy section There is a shopping cart right next to her feet. What do you see that makes you say that? I say that the lady is waiting for a Black Friday special that is why she is camping it out in Walmart. The prove is that she got the paper of Walmart that shows the specials. What more can you find? I can say there is a special for butter, it was $2.78, now its $1.18. I found a ketchup packet next to her jacket. A water bottle behind her.
stephani (canoga park )
1. A woman sleeping on the floor of walmart probably waiting for a sale or protesting. And there is a man shopping in the background. 2. i say this because the woman has blankets, sleeping a bag and a pillow to sleep on. And the man is picking up yogurt and there is a walmart sign. 3. There is a magazine next to her probably with coupons and a shopping cart next to her.
Toni (NWHS-Maryland)
There are two people in the dairy section of a Walmart. A man is picking up something from the yogurt section, whereas a young woman is lying in front of a refrigerator. The woman is curled up on a mattress or sleeping bag and covered with a thick blanket. Slightly behind her at her feet is a shopping cart with only a jacket or something and a fold-up chair. Barely visible at the bottom left of the picture is what looks like another fold-up chair, and what might be the tip of a cup holder of a fold-up chair appears at the bottom center of the picture. On the blanket, there is a Walmart advertising leaflet, announcing the sale of TVs “Saturday Only”. It looks like they could be Samsung LED TVs. So I think the woman camping out on the floor just happens to be in dairy section of Walmart because maybe that is where there was room, because I suspect she is not the only one camping out in the store, based on the number of possible fold-up chairs. My guess is they are waiting for Saturday to get the TV deal, and Walmart was kind enough to let them camp out inside the store.
Kevin Reyes (CPHS)
What is going on in this picture? There is a homeless woman in a store that is laying down in the ground with blankets over her. What do you see that makes you say that? The woman looks sad and she is just laying in the ground os a grocery store. What more can you find? I can see a man shopping like normal as if a woman on the ground was an everyday thing.
ileanna&kathy (canoga park senior high)
In this picture, you see a old man, a woman on the floor and a WAY TOO ORGANIZED WALMART! Second, the woman is on the floor wrapped in blankets.There is clothes near the person. The old man is looking at yogurt.What a bargain! Everything is so neat and like this satisfies my OCD. Another thing we can see is the old person doesnt pay the women any attention. THERE IS A KETCHUP PACKET ON THE FLOOR.There is a shopping cart with her belongings.
Heily Ramos (CPHS)
whats going on in the picture? there is a what seems like a homeless woman laying down in a walmart the prices are lesser now what do you see that makes you say that? the woman is on the ground with a bunch of brownish blankets and a shopping cart with stuff. the walmart symbol is on the sign what more can you find? the man in the back is just minding his business.
Ana P (SKHS)
There is a person who is laying in a Walmart dairy isle they give the appearance of be homeless or at least a camper due to the blanket, water, bottles, and cart with a folding chair and other items in it. They look like they have a set up to go to sleep or at lest stay in that spot with all their stuff set out and already being wrapped up in a blanket There is also a man in the back who doesn't seem to either take notice or care about the fact that there is a person who is laying on the store floor. Although this could also be performance art due to the fact that stores don't usually let people camp in their stores due to the fact that this person give the appearance of homelessness they could be protesting poverty and how people have to make choices to survive when they don't have the money to be able to fully support themselves. To go even further with the protest they could even be protesting against how Walmart treats their employees and the impact that that has on their lives.
Zahara Aniff (Canoga Park)
1. There is a lady laying/sleeping on the floor in supermarket in the dairy isle. while everyone one else (one more person) isdoing there normal shopping spree. 2.

It looks like she is looking for heat and also there is a elderly man getting some products What do you see that makes you say that? i see the walmart sign, i also see the dairy products in the back and the elderly man in the back. What else can you find? the woman might be looking for warmth because shes under the machines and those machines throw heat.
Roger A (Canoga Park High School)
There is a woman on the floor of a grocery store, looks likes she’s homeless but at the same time she looks like she’s protesting for a free tv • There’s grocery’s everywhere, and there is a booklet with the picture of a Samsung Tv faced up and she is in a sleeping bag with some possessions around her • Looks like a Walmart, and it looks like she is smiling
Marvin G. (CPHS)

What is going on in this picture? The thing going on in the photo is a woman in Walmart she is laying on the ground with a sleeping bag under her and a blanket over her and she is in front of the cream cheese and the price looks like it's going up in price. There is a man shopping in the background. What do you see that makes you say that? I see the Walmart symbol and the price change next to the regular price. And there is a dairy aisle that the woman is in. What more can you find? The more i find is a ketchup packet on the ground and a cart with a chair under it.

1. A women is in a grocery getting ready to sleep. 2. There is produce around the image and surrounding the women. 3. There's also an old man in the background checking out the produce in the background.
Jasmine (CPHS)
What do you see in this picture? I see a woman at Walmart with a sleeping bag who might be testing people while a man is grabbing yogurt. What do you see that makes you say that? The woman is laying down with a pillow under her and looks homeless, but also looks as if she is waiting for something to happen. I initially thought that she was just homeless but other factors also determine that she might be testing how many people decide to help her out. What more can you find? The woman has a water bottle to the side and there is also a pack of McDonalds ketchup.
Luis gutierrez (CPHS)
What is going on this picture? Its about a woman in Walmart who is laying down by the fridge dairy section, while an elderly man is grabbing yogurt in the background. What do you see that makes you say that? I said Walmart because i saw the pricing board with the "Save even more" quote. and also because of the man on the back with dairy products (yogurt). What more can you find? Something else that i found after analyzing the picture is a shopping cart with a portable sports chair and what seems to be a purse.

1. What is going on in this picture? There's a lady laying on the ground with her belongings and she's laying in front of the cream cheese. There's also a guy reaching for something in the background so I guess everybody is minding their business as the woman lays on the floor. She might be homeless? 2. What do you see that makes you say that? She doesn't really seem to have anything with her other than her blankets and what looks to be coupons so maybe she is homeless. 3. What more can you find? The prices of items can be seen maybe she doesn't agree with the prices so she's laying in front of the items so that nobody buys them because if they want to buy them they'd have to interact with her in some sort of way.
yesenia (canoga park )
what is going on in this picture? what l see is that there is a lady at walmart laying down in a sleeping bag with a blanket over her head and in the background there is man that I guess doesnt reall pay attention to the women on the ground. what makes you say this? what makes me say this is that there is a walmart sine in the make next to the cream cheese which apperantly the price has been reduced. and the man seems to be buying some yogurt in the back not even suprised that the lady is sleeping in a grocery store's floor. what more can you find/see? something else I see is that the lady has a shopping cart with her things around the cart. and im guessing the lady is homless because she has her clothe there and more of her own personaly belongings.
Noelia (cphs)
What is going on in this picture? on this picture you see a women camping in a Walmart shop and what looks like to be an older citizen grabbing a yogurt . she must be waiting for black Friday or maybe waiting for something that might've gone to sale. • What do you see that makes you say that? the girl has a Walmart catalog which makes me think she waiting for something to go on sale maybe for black Friday • What more can you find? in the left corner of the pic theres what seems to be a chair so maybe more people are camping in the Walmart store either for back Friday or something that is going on sale
Daniel (California)
What is going on in this picture? I see a girl at a grocery resting indoors to stay safe. What do you see that makes you say that? I see pillows, and a blanket. What more can you find? I can see a guy in the background shopping for groceries.
Wahid Dawari (Canoga Park High School)
What is going on in this picture? There is a man shopping in the background for yogurt. And there is a woman camping in the dairy isle for a TV sale. What makes you say that? What makes me say this is that there is a sale magazine lying next to the woman with TV sales on it. What more can you find? I can find that this is taking place in Walmart, because of the sign
maryjane hawkins (skhs)
What is going on in this picture? - there is what looks like a homeless person laying on the floor in blankets in the fridge diary isle. There is also i person in the back picking something up to buy or seeing what it is. There is a cart sitting next to the girl laying on the floor. There is a lot of yogurt and cream cheese containers that i see. Theres a walmart logo on the sign that shows the price.i also see whipped cream. Theres also a red raincoat off to the side
Folauhola (CPHS)
In this picture I see two people in Walmart. I know this because the logo is on the price sign for the Philadelphia cream cheese.They are in the dairy, refrigerated area. One person, an elderly male, is picking up yogurt and the other person, a young female, is lying on the floor. The lady is lying on a blanket and is wrapped in another, she has two blankets, a coat, and a shopping cart with a bag and a folding chair. She also has an ad open which is about TV's. Stereo-typically speaking, this lady doesn't look homeless. It seems as if this lady is doing this for some type of movement or protest for those who are less fortunate than others.
Rebeca (Canoga Park)
-what is going on in this picture ? i see a homeless women laying down o the floor of the dairy section of a grocery store. Also a man in the background grabbing a yogurt. - what do you see that makes you say that ? i this she's homeless because she brought a bunch of blankets and small wrappers on the floor. I know she's in the dairy section because its full of milk, cream, and yogurt. - what more can you find ? i see a cart with a chair under it.
KT (SKHS)
What is going on in this picture? The thing going on in the photo is a woman in walmart she is laying on the ground with a sleeping bag under her and a blanket over her and she is in front of the cream cheese and the price looks like it's going up in price. There is a man shopping in the background. What do you see that makes you say that? I see the walmart symbol and the price change next to the regular price. And there is a dairy aille that the woman is in. What more can you find? The more i find is a ketchup packet on the ground and a cart with a chair under it.
Allison (Palmdale )
@KT very good observations, some of them I didn’t notice myself.
LM (KHS)
@KT I think the prices are actually being reduced instead of being raised.
khalil (p)
the store name called Walmart in the yogurt area it look like the lady that's on the floor is champing for black Friday she laying in a food area also theirs a man in the back shopping for yogurt
Engmose (St. Louis)
I think the person sleeping on the floor in Walmart is doing a social experiment to see how many people will talk to her, or ask if she needs help. I think the manager at Walmart would remove the person, or maybe try to help them.
Kayla (Pete Knight High School)
@Engmose I hadn't thought of that, but it does make sense. Many people do social experiments, and I agree that this women may be doing that.
Adeline M (SKHS)
• What is going on in this picture? I think this is a photo of a woman who was camping out for Black Friday sales but may have gotten too warm so she came inside to cool down. • What do you see that makes you say that? She has multiple blankets and a coat, her preparations for sleeping outside during the night. She also has ads for TVs, implying a sale, and a lawn chair, maybe for sitting outside the store. Behind her is a water bottle and a charging bank, implying she has been or will be there for a while. • What more can you find? The man behind her is buying yogurt unphased, probably because this is Walmart and Walmart feels like a different plane of existence so events like this aren’t unusual. The cream cheese is on sale. There's a ketchup packet on the floor.
SS (SKHS)
•What is going on in this picture? Whats going on in this picture is there is a woman who seems to have made camp in a walmart Dairy section. She is laying on some type of mattress or blanket. It looks like she is waiting for a sale like black friday or a similar sale. • What do you see that makes you say that? Because I can see McDonald wrappers so she can not be homeless, she has a water bottle and camping chair with her and her cart of things, including extra clothes. • What more can you find? I see a person in the background shopping for something. They are in all black and seem to have some type of bag around their shoulder, they also have short, gray hair.
XD (SKHS)
• What is going on in this picture? The Person in the picture is camping inside of a walmart dairy section. She may or may not be waiting for a big sale, or just doesn't have a home. • What do you see that makes you say that? The Blankets on the floor scattered into a makeshift bed • What more can you find? The man in the back is buying yogurt.
Isaac (California)
@XD you can more or less tell that she probably is homeless because you can see the emotion in her face showing tiredness or hopeless in a way. There is also a camping chair in her shopping cart
Tyler J (SKHS)
Well what I can see is it looks like there is a homeless person laying down in a dairy section of a Walmart with her few belongings next to her and more in a shopping cart. What makes me say that is the fact that they are on the ground in a sleeping bag, and you usually don’t see that when you walk into a grocery store, you would see this more in a city. This is kind of a weird spot to stay if they wanted to try and keep warm, because usually the dairy section is probably one of the coldest spots in a store. Some other things I can find is there is another person shopping in the background. I can also see that there is a flyer for TV’s by the person, so they could be camping it out for a sale.
Anonymous (...)
@Tyler J I agree with what you said. I don't think this person is homeless in any way and willing to live in a Walmart.
Kayla (Pete Knight High School)
In this picture, I think that the lady that is laying down is homeless due to the blankets, water bottles and shopping cart with items that are near her. The weather outside is cold since she has the blankets. And she also has a magazine which shows that she must have been at the store for a while.
Claire Learning Center (Olathe, Kansas)
We immediately noticed it was a Walmart store. It was difficult to tell whether there had been two people laying on the floor, or just one. There were a few thoughts shared by my students of 3rd, 4th, and 5th graders. *The person was homeless and had nowhere to go. *It was a test to see how people would react. *The other shopper was not with the homeless person and did not notice yet.
Marissa (Port Orchard)
In the photo, a seemingly homeless woman is on the floor of the dairy section of a Walmart. She may need a place to stay for a period of time and is choosing to set up there for a while. Clues that lead me to infer this is the yogurt selection in the back of the store and the cream cheese next to her. On one of the sale signs in the store, the Walmart logo can be seen. Around the woman, there are blankets, a roll out mattress, McDonalds rappers and ketchup, a water bottle, a canteen, and a cart with belongings and a foldable chair. It’s as if the woman is on the move with her necessities. I can also find a coupon pamphlet on her makeshift bed space.
Xavier C (SKHS)
She is a possible homeless that is staying in the walmart and is trying to stay warm while people walk on by her so she might be trying to survive there is a part of the brain the causes the person to lose all reason but survival they will and can eat ANYTHING but if she has been eating it won’t work so she has to be eating well from by thief like stealing mcdonalds or the walmart and if she is not then i have no clue what makes me say this well the cart with the black bags and the mcdonalds stuff and the blue thing possibly hiding walmart stuff there is no more i can find except the bottle on the bag who nows what's that for
Donavin B (SKHS)
What is going on in this picture? It looks to me like there is a homeless women camping inside a Walmart in the dairy section and it looks like she has all of her bags in the shopping cart next to her. What you see that makes you think that? I see a cart with a lot of bags that are not Walmart bags and the only other person in the picture is further away so I assume that the cart in the picture is hers with all of her stuff in it. Also I know it the dairy section because I can see cheese and yogurt on the walls. Last I’m assuming she's homeless because she is laying on a matt with a blanket in the middle of Walmart. What more can you find? I see a ketchup packet from Mcdonalds on the floor next to her head so she may have eaten mcdonalds also she has ads on her matt so she may be camping for black friday but they don’t et you sleep in the store.
Emanuel (port orchard)
What is going on in this picture? • homeless woman sleeping at walmart With a cart of stuff What do you see that makes you say that? She's sleeping with bed bag and Camping chair And she threw mcdonald trash She had black friday paper • What more can you find? She's sleeping at walmart A guy shopping
Marquez P (THE DALE)
@Emanuel Good observation, I didn't even see the black Friday sales catalog! She's most likely camping to be the first in line.
Tristan J (SKHS)
• What is going on in this picture? It looks like there is a woman laying down on a sleeping bag with a blanket covering her in the dairy aisle of Walmart. She may be homeless or waiting for black friday so she is camping there for the night. • What do you see that makes you say that? The sleeping bag on the floor, with the girl laying on it and a blanket covering her. There are lots of signs in the photo that show price reductions and sales, which some people do camp out at the stores that they want to shop at on Black Friday. However she may be homeless because that’s not what people usually do unless they’re desperate for a place to stay. • What more can you find? There’s also a shopping cart next to the girl, which may provide further evidence that she is staying there overnight to shop on black friday. There’s also a man in the background who is shopping.
AE (KHS)
@Tristan J This is a great insight achieved through tiny hints in the picture, I agree with you.
Mayra Orozco (KHS)
@Tristan J I did not think of the idea that she might be camping inside for Black Friday, it could make more sense if that was the case.
jimmy neutron (the milky way)
When i look at the photo see a man grabbing something that appears to yogurt i guess, there's a person on the floor laying down, there's a ketchup packet, a camping chair, there's an add on the floor, she's possibly camping or homeless.she has a blanket and a pillow and a makeshift bed she has stuff near her this mans shopping doesn't care, there is a thermos at her feet and she is in the dairy isle trying to stay warm
Erika (SKHS)
What’s going on in the picture is that a presumably homeless woman is laying down in a makeshift bed on the floor of Walmarts dairy section. She has all her stuff with her and there is a person casually shopping in the section behind her. What makes me think this is the fact that there are all the rows of food specifically things like yogurt and sour cream behind this lady laying on the floor in blankets with a shopping cart full of random stuff next to her. You can also find a ketchup packet from Mcdonalds behind her and the walmart lodo on the price signs around her.
Kaya P. (SKHS)
When I first looked at this picture I imagined that there was a homeless person on the dairy isles floor in a walmart. The reason i say this is because i can see the set up that the person has, it looks to me like a homeless camp, considering she has a bed set up, bags everywhere, and some water in a bottle behind her. I can also tell that it is in a walmart because it has the walmart logo in many places in the background and it has the walmart tile and flooring. I don't believe there's anymore for me to find.
Sammi N (SKHS)
When I look at the picture I see someone laying on the floor in the dairy section of walmart. She has a couple blankets and a pillow, as well as a water bottle. In the background there is a man shopping with his back turned to the person on the ground. She appears as though she may be homeless since she is laying on the floor of a grocery store instead of in her own house or anything. There is also what looks like a catalog on her makeshift bed. There's something that looks like it could be a thermos at her feet and a sauce packet on the floor. She’s also laying in front of cream cheese and there’s a folding chair in the bottom of a cart.
Madison C (CA)
@Sammi N The magazine caught my eye also! Love your analyzations.
Wyvonna (SKHS)
What is going on this picture?: A man is shopping and most likely has money and the woman or the person that looks younger is laying on the ground and made a bed with an ice box, water bottle, backpack and other items. What makes you say that?: The person who is on the ground looks homeless and unable to purchase anything but could be waiting for a sell or something but, why couldn't she wait standing up and without all of that stuff next to her? The old man obviously has money unless he is looking at the food. What more can you find?: Shes laying next to the on sell sign and the shopping cart. She has a coupon or something for a tv, and it says “Tuesday only” so she could be camping out waiting for tuesday and have the coupon out so people can see she is waiting for the sell of the tv and not assume she is homeless.
Carmelita W (SKHS)
In this picture there seems to be a woman who I believe is homeless, and she is laying on the floor in the middle of the yogurt section in Walmart. As well what appears to be a man looking at cottage cheese section part of the. I say this because if you go to Walmart or any grocery store you wouldn't find a person who has a home just laying on the floor with blankets in the middle of the yogurt section. Also if you look closer you will see a magazine/ store article of T.V's that appear to be on sale, which could also mean she was camping out in the store so she could be the first to receive the deal on the T.V's.
natalie (California)
@Carmelita W I agree. :-)
CH (SKHS)
Whats going on in the picture? Looks like a homeless person sleeping in a walmart for shelter. What do you see that makes you say that ? The person has all her belongings and sleeping on the floor in walmart and you know its walmart because the symbol above her head and this makes you think that she is homeless. What more can you find? You can see that there is a blue water bottle at her feet and that she probably uses a cart to carry all her bags with her.
Ashley A. (KHS)
@CH I like you support your theory on how there is a possibility that the woman is homeless with evidence provided in the photo as you point out how she carries her belongings with her and the shopping cart is a way she carries her belongings.
M L (South Kitsap High)
1. I see a person camping in the dairy section of a Walmart with a catalogue, a ketchup packet from McDonald’s a camping chair in her shopping cart she could possibly be testing out the gear or be waiting for a Black friday sale inside the store. 2. She has a lot of camping equipment including a chair in the cart, a drink and food wrappers 3. I can’t find anymore information
Ruben Olivas Jr (Los Angeles)
@M L I really didn't notice that the ketchup packet was from McDonald's, but I see it now and obviously, it would be McDonald's because there is usually a McDonalds in a Walmart. Great catch!
Nohemy (Palmdale )
@M L I like your idea of her black shopping, I didn't think of that.
AranzaE (Palmdale)
@M L Impressive I didn't notice the ketchuo packet on the floor and it's a wise guess that she could be waiting for a Black Friday Sale.
Tayler Dodge (Seattle Wa)
1) In this picture what I see is a man shopping in what looks to be the yogurt section and on the floor there is a woman laying on a sleeping bag with a blanket over her and some of her miscellaneous objects around her. It seems she is homeless, I also see a cart with what looks like a duffle bag and a camping chair that has most likely already been used so I assume it also belongs to the homeless woman. The woman also seems to be looking at ads for a tv. Maybe she is staying the night at walmart to test there no loitering policy ? just a guess. 2) I say the man is shopping in the yogurt department because It looks like the objects being sold are yogurt in this section and that is what he is looking at to buy. I believe the woman may be homeless and staying in walmart because she is sleeping on a bed made up of a sleeping bag and a blanket with a water bottle by her and maybe a larger water holder down by her feet. And i think the cart of items belong to her because it looks like the backpack is full of things and the lawn chair might be when she’s outside and needs a place to sit and maybe she takes the cart around with her. Also the cart does not look like a walmart cart because most walmart carts have a blue plastic where you put you hands to push the cart. I also say this is walmart because i can see the walmart logo. 3) I cant really find anymore. I dont notice anything besides the things ive already pointed out. Maybe she has a specific reason for being in walmart.
Ana murillo (Canoga park high school)
Theres maybe homeless women sleep on the floor. I believe that because she has her blankets and has a cart with a chair. In the background there is a man shopping for yogurt and next to her there is a shopping cart with a foldable chair that is possibly hers.
Julian b (Palmdale )
In this picture it is a homeless lady that is laying the store by the stuff she needs hoping maybe people will help her buy the things she needs.
Michael (Pete knight high school)
i think its a homeless women who doesn't want to be on the streets so she went to Walmart and decided to sleep in the dairy section because its a cool spot
Tristan (palmdale ca)
I think that it is a homeless person that is sleeping next to something she needs and really wants which is food.
Ivette Garcia (Palmdale, Ca)
There is a woman laying down in the dairy aisle with a blanket. I think she is camping out for a sale on T.V's because she is holding a flyer for the sale. Other things that I can find is her cart ids full of things you would usually find with a person who is camping out for a sale like a chair and other things.
Marquez P (THE DALE)
At a first glace, the photograph includes what appears to be a women struggling with poverty resting on the floor of a Walmart with her very few belongings beside her on the ground and in a shopping cart next to her. A man as well is in the background shopping for dairy products inferred by the advertisement for yogurt above the products. Moreover, all the products on the counters are fully stocked and have very low prices, to which they are most likely not being sold. With so many items to buy with such low prices, the shelves would be selling out with regular consumers. Under close consideration, the women may be struggling with a minimum wage job which corresponds with her condition. With the little amount of money minimum wage jobs offer, the poor woman would not have enough money to balance with food, shelter, utilities, and other necessities such as clothing prompting her to not be able to afford a house and sleeping on the floor. Additionally, since the food on the shelves is still fully stocked, many people are as well not buying them. It can be implied that the Walmart is in a low income area with a population similar to the women's living condition so the food is not selling.
khalil (p)
@Marquez P i agree to what your talking about as me looking at the picture its all makes sense
Marissa (Port Orchard)
@Marquez P Good observation with the sales, it is very likely a low income area Walmart
Destiny S. (Knight High School)
1. A homeless lady is sleeping inside of Wal-Mart in the dairy section. 2. She looks like she has nothing and she is laying on her blankets and covering up because she is cold. She has a few things in her cart ahead of her. 3. I can see a guy shopping in the background. She looks tired.
Michael (Pete knight high school)
I think its a homeless women who didnt want to be on the streets because its hot so she went to walmart and stayed in the dairy section because its cooler there
Ivette Garcia (Palmdale, Ca)
I think she is camping out for a sale because she is holding a flyer for the Saturday sale on T.V's. I can also see that she has her stuff to camp out for a sale because of what she has in her cart that includes a chair to sit when she gets tired out from camping out.
TG (Palmdale )
What i think is going on in this picture is that shes homeless and she went inside to cool off. I believe she is hot because she went to the cool side of the store by the dairy section. Then she later on put on a blanket because she was cold, but still stayed because she was chill. I see that she was reading one of the store magazines that have the sales of the T.V.'s on it, which indicates that maybe they were having a sale and she was waiting for the sale to start kind of like as if she was camping outside by instead it was inside.
Eljanay p (Pamdale)
A women is homeless and does not have a safe place to go besides the stores she is in right now. It makes me say that somebody should see if she okay see why she is really trying to sleep to the store. That maybe she could own the store and that all she has so when everyone leave she sleeps there.
lucas (classroom)
I see that there is a man sleeping in the supermarket, this man seems to be of more disadvantaged origin. Observing this image I feel a sad and doubtful feeling, wanting to understand what led him to stay in this situation of poverty and despair.
M.S (William j pete knight high school)
i think the woman is homeless. she is sleeping on the floor in a sleeping bag and has all of her things around her. this is not something that someone with a stable home life exhibits or has been seen. there is a man shopping for yogurt behind her and a sign that makes me believe its at a Walmart store.
TG (Palmdale )
What i think is going on is that there was a sale going on and she was camping outside but then came inside or she is homeless and it was too hot outside so she can get some cool air. I think that's whats happening because shes in the cold section and it got too cold so she decided to take a blanket. She has a magazine of the store with T.V. sales on it.
jordan villa (palmdale )
what i see on this picture is a homeless girl sleeping on the floor in Walmart and nobody is saying anything to her while the person in the back is just shopping
Xavier C (SKHS)
@jordan villa this is the possibility of the situation but you are on the right track
Brandon perez (Canoga Park HS)
1) I see a homeless man laying on the floor staring at something the food store he is in. 2)They're is also a man about to grab what seems to be yogurt and the homeless man has luggage and a cart that has a black bag also he has blankets a jacket and news papers. 3) If you pay attention and know your stores you see a save more sign which represents Walmart which means the homeless man is trying to sleep over at a Walmart store.
genesis arenales (Canoga park hs)
1. I think whats going on in the picture is that theres a homeless person in Walmart just laying on the floor or something or the weather outside maybe is too hot. 2. What makes me say that is that the lady is like dirty and the stuff he has is dirty and it looks like theres a rope behind her on the floor tied to something and theres a ketchup bag on the floor like a fast food place. 3. There is also like newspapers and bottles and also a sweater on the floor and theres a bag or something behind her theres also a blue metal ting on her feet and it also looks like the people around her don't do anything about it they just act normal theres also a wrapper of food behind her is really hard to see.
Alexandra Arevalo (Canoga Park HS)
- What is going on in this picture? I infer that this is a homeless women and needs to cool down because maybe the weather is too hot -What do you see that makes you say that? There is a shopping cart and it seems like she carrying blankets and what seems like sweaters. Also, she -What more can you find? She is covered in blankets, and there is a man shopping in the back
Michael (Pete knight high school)
@Alexandra Arevalo Yeah
Julian b (Palmdale )
@Alexandra Arevalo I agree with this
KEVIN CASTILLO (CANOGA PARK HIGH SCHOOL)
i think there is someone sleeping because of black friday because she is sleeping inside the store un less she is a home less women.there is a shopping cart and a worker
Eljanay p (Pamdale)
@KEVIN CASTILLO right i agree
TG (Palmdale )
@KEVIN CASTILLO Hey Kevin, i believe that your comment could be correct and i agree with most of what your saying.
JH (CA)
@KEVIN CASTILLO I Dont think its Black Friday because food in walmart isnt really impacted from the discount sales. Plus if it was black friday you would be camping outside the store not in the grocery section.
Corran Haug-Villalobos (Canoga Park High School)
1. What I believe is happening in this photograph, is a woman sleeping in the isle of a Walmart grocery department. She had to stay the night to avoid the early morning traffic. The carton of yogurt on the back shelf is being taken by an old man, an interloper in her territory. She lies awake on the floor, aware of all that is about to unfold. Her body language, that of a criminal and a subversive crook, helps to deter the old fellow. He is unaware of his mistakes. 2. I say this because, of the undisclosed reason for which this woman made such an arrangement. I believe she has slept as a reason of the cotton blankets and tousled cloth she is wrapped in. The cart (presumably hers) stands inert and emasculated. I also say this as a result of the man having complete negligence toward her. Alas, I say this is Walmart due to the Walmart logo posted on various signs throughout the scene. 3. I also observe magazines on her blanket and a plastic sport bottle on the floor behind her. I would ask if it is filled with liquid, but it’s not my place to provoke such question.
Naomi Han (canoga park hs)
• What is going on in this picture? there is a women in Walmart sleeping on the floor with her belongings. • What do you see that makes you say that? i see beding and she's coving herself with blankets. • What more can you find? she's where the dairy products are theres also a magazine next to her.
Destiny S. (Knight High School)
@Naomi Han I think basically the same thing!!
estefani serrano (canoga park high school)
i think a homeless person went into the grocery store and decided to sleep there. they are on the floor with a blanket and some clothes and there aren't much belongings. i also see cart that is probably the persons cart.
L Asp (Los Angeles)
The picture shows a woman laying on the floor of a Walmart with a sleeping bag and blankets. She appears to be homeless because she looks like she has nowhere to stay but walmart. I know this because she looks like how homeless people look and I see a Walmart logo. In the background is a man shopping and not appearing to care of the woman sleeping on the floor.
Aliyah Muse (Canoga Park High School)
This picture shows a homeless woman sleeping on the floor of a Walmart. What makes me say she is homeless is the fact that she is laying on dirty blankets, with very few clothes, and does not look happy. Lastly, I noticed a man in the back round shopping for sour cream.
Valeria Molina (Canoga Park HS)
What is going on in this picture? ¬ I believe that this is a homeless woman that needs a place to sleep but its too hot to sleep outside What do you see that makes you say that? ¬ There is a shoping cart that looks like is holding her daily needs as a homeless person ¬ She is wearing kind of dirty clothes What more can you find? ¬ She looks happy and comfortable ¬ there is a man shopping minding his business
JH (CA)
A women who appears to be homeless is sleeping inside of a Walmart. I say this because she was a sleeping bag and appears to be stationed on the floor. I see a shopping cart with personal belongings and not grocery products from the store.
albert (canoga park high school)
theres maybe homeless women sleep on the floor. she's on the floor with a blanket and a little mattress a man shopping in the background
Monserrat Morales (Canoga Park HS)
-In this picture I notice that there is a young lady wrapped in a blanket, she has a jacket with her and is sleeping on a blue mat. I see that she's at Walmart and there is another individual buying what looks like cream cheese. I think that she may be homeless and looking for a place to sleep or pass the night. › -I know she is at Walmart because there is a sign that has the Walmart logo saying that things are on sale. I think that the lady is homeless because of the way she has her things set up inside the store. -Something else that i notice is she has a magazine with her and a red water bottle, I also notice there is a shopping cart with things in it, like a purse.
Charity Capehart (Canoga Park HS)
• What is going on in this picture? A homeless women is lying down on the floor of a Walmart. • What do you see that makes you say that? A bed made of blankets the lady laying on it covered in a blanket, surrounded with belongings like a water bottler and a coat. • What more can you find? A man shopping in the background a ketchup packet and their in the area where you can find yogurt.
devin (canoga park senior high)
1. A woman, possibly homeless, is laying on the floor of a Walmart store. Perhaps the weather outside is dangerous for her to stay in 2.the woman is laying under a blanket and on a sleeping bag and pillow, in the dairy section of a Walmart. 3.A man shopping in the background, more of her supplies like a water bottle and possibly another blanket.
carolaain estrada (canoga park high school)

-What is going on in this photo? In this photo a woman is laying on the ground in a Walmart. She is surrounded by blankets and is possibly homeless. -What do you see that makes you say that? I think she is homeless because she is laying on a few blankets and has clothing items next to her. She also has a water bottle behind her and it looks like she is planning to stay the night or sleep there. -What more can you find? In the background there is a man shopping for yogurt and next to her there is a shopping cart with a foldable chair that is possibly hers.

> What is going on in this picture? A homeless lady didn't feel safe sleeping outside due to the environment, so she went to the nearest store to feel safer. > what do you see that makes you say that? She is in Walmart and has a bunch of sleeping stuff with her. > what more can you find? you can see that what seems to be butter is $1.18, also that there is people around her causally walking around her. Also she has a water bottle and some clothes.

1. There is a woman on the floor in Walmart 2. A man is in the background shopping 3. The woman look like she has been staying there for a while 4. it seems to be during the day because of the man in the back casually shopping 5.
Derrick Anderson (Los Angeles)
The picture shows a women laying down on the floor with a blanket , and a sleeping bag at Walmart.
Aliyah Muse (Canoga Park High SChool)
In this picture, I see a woman (To my eyes, most likely Homeless) resting on some blankets in an open grocery store. What makes me say she is homeless is because she is sleeping, in dirty blankets, on the ground of a grocery store. Maybe thats where she is currently living. Lastly, I see a man in the backround shopping for groceries, This implies that the store is open.
Julia Gutierrez (Canoga Park HS)
- In the picture, there is a lady who seems homeless and is laying down on a Walmart floor. Maybe it was night time and it was cold outside so the store let her go in and sleep there. - The woman seems homeless because she is laying down on the floor with a quilt under her and a blanket over her. There also seems to be things of her around (a jacket, water bottle, magazine) which maybe be all she has. I can tell that the store is Walmart because the signs that tell the price of an item has the yellow Walmart sign. - I can also see that there is an elder man wearing glasses in the background who seems to be looking at yogurt.
Natalia Casillas (Canoga Park HS)
The photo shows a young lady who, seems to be homeless, is at a Walmart in the Dairy section. The lady is laying down covered in blankets and around her there are people buying food. She also looks like she hasn't taken a shower in days. In the left corner of the picture I see what I think is a red chair. There is also a symbol on the sign that infers that this picture was taken in a Walmart.
CB (Los Angeles)
What is going on in this picture? Maybe she's homeless and it was cold outside. 2. She has blankets and a sleeping bag, so obviously she needs shelter. 3. This Walmart is very organized, there's a man in the back shopping
alexander (Canoga Park)
A women is sleeping inside the grocery store but i believe she is homeless. I believe that because she has her blankets and has a cart with a chair. Maybe she couldnt stay outside because she was to cold outside.
Alex M (Palmdale, CA)
what I think is going on in this picture is that she is going from place to place because she is homeless and it is hot outside and she wants to be somewhere cold but also lay down and relax with the supplies she has with her as you can see she is trying her best to stay alive and not end up in the hospital because of the heat.
Juanizzle (Compton)
It is a homeless woman that is laying down on the floor because she couldn't find shelter. The man isn't reacting to the woman sleeping on the floor because it is Walmart and it is something that usually happen there.
Iror c. (Palmdale )
Maybe Wal-Mart is helping homeless people
Dominic Arango (canoga park)
1. I see what seems to be a homeless woman sleeping on the floor at Walmart. 2. A woman is on the floor set up with a blanker and her belongings and there is a man that is shopping. 3. I see a purse and a bottle where she drinks her stuff.
Juanizzle (Compton)

Isabel L (Palmdale , CA)
In this photo the lady is possibly homeless , and she has no where to stay and it's way to hot outside for her that she can end up getting really sick or a heat stroke so she decides to move all of her stuff inside of Walmart to where its cool . I say that because she by the diary section where its cold . Shes also has her blanket on her so it must be really cold right where she is . She has some kind of drink by her that looks empty .
M.S (William j pete knight high school)
@Isabel L i agree with you because after seeing what you pointed out it makes a bit more sense into the situation that this woman is most likely in
Ryan Doherty (WHRHS)
This woman appears to be homeless and looking for some place to sleep. She seems to be carrying items with her which could indicate that she is moving from place to place
Maria Acabal (Canoga Park HS)
-What is going on in this picture? There is a woman at Walmart laying down in the dairy aisle. -What do you see that makes you say that? She's lying down on the floor & there's the Walmart logo in the back. -What more can you find? She's got magazines next to her and the old man in the back, doesn't notice her.
Dulce Gonzalez (Canoga Park High School)
1. What is going on the picture? There is a homeless lady in the dairy section of Walmart camping out for something, perhaps a place to stay because something outside isn't favorable. 2. What do you see that makes you say that? The lady is under a pile of blankets that look like they haven't been washed in a while. As well as the fact that there is a shopping cart full of random belongings near her. This being said, who do you know sleeps overnight at a Walmart if they have a home. 3. What more can you find? I also see that the store is currently open because there is a person shopping in the back. There are random piles of clothes near her, magazines, and random containers on the floor.
Andrew (Canoga Park HS)
I see a women having a sleep over at Walmart. There is a blanket on top and under the women, there is also a sign that says "save even more" Everything in the store is stocked up.
Josh Wolf (Canoga Park HS)
• What is going on in this picture? A woman, possibly homeless, is laying on the floor of a Walmart store. Perhaps the weather outside is dangerous for her to stay in. • What do you see that makes you say that? The woman is laying under a blanket and on a sleeping bag and pillow, in the dairy section of a Walmart. • What more can you find? A man shopping in the background, more of her supplies like a water bottle and possibly another blanket.
Aretta (5th Grade Teacher) (Sharpe Elementary School, Benton KY)
I am inferring that this individual is camping out at Wal-Mart for Black Friday sales. I believe that this customer is first in line to purchase a discounted Samsung television. Caption: The first customer in line for a Samsung television camps out overnight in Wal-Mart's grocery section.
Mr. Schumann's Class (Beach MS)
We think that it is a sale on some kind, like Black Friday. The people are staying in line to buy the item before it runs out. They have blankets, folding chairs, and other personal items.
Alex M (Palmdale, CA)
@Mr. Schumann's Class I disagree because they wouldn't let you stay in the store over night for a black Friday sell, they will only let you be outside for that kind of thing
Mr. Schumann's Class (Beach MS)
@Alex M Winners get sprinkles. Sorry kid
Shreya (WHRHS )
This photo shows a lady who seems to have no where else to stay on the floor of a walmart isle. She has supplies with her which could indicate that she’s going from place to place. It also seems that it’s in the middle of the day because a man is shopping like nothing happened.
Juanizzle (Compton)
@Shreya I agree with you that she is homeless and that she is in Walmart. But i think the man doesn't say anything because Walmart is a weird place and lots of weird things happen there.
rey (canoga park)
this lady must be camping out at the location she is most likely at a Walmart casually waiting for a restock on dairy. she does not look homeless. like if she was homeless she would most likely have a shopping cart with a bunch of random artifacts.
Isabel L (Palmdale , CA)
@rey I disagree with you because the diary section looks all stocked up to me and she is possibly homeless , just trying to stay cool from the heat outside .
Jareth Leyva (Canoga Park )
It looks like there’s a homeless or someone who’s just laying down inside inside a grocery store. She has blankets lay on the floor and one on top of her. She also has a water bottle next to her, maybe is for survival. She probably wanted to wait for she can buy a TV, she looks very tired as well.
JESUS A. GARCIA FLORES (CANOGA PARK HIGH SCHOOL)
1. In this picture there is a homeless women who got tired of sleeping outside so deside to go into Walmart and sleep inside Walmart’s camping bags. 2. Theirs is the little Walmart star in the side and then her kart that she got in the streets 3. I see her sleeping next to the make up session
Iror c. (Palmdale )
Nice
alexander lopez (canoga park high school)
In this picture there is a homeless lady laying on the floor of Walmart. I think that there in Walmart because there is a price tag with the logo.
Brianna Alvarez (Canoga Park High School)
The lady is laying on the floor at the store and she she looks tired and cold she looks dirty and it looks like it might be at night because the store looks empty
Gilberto Barragan (Canoga Park High School)
In the picture there is a lady laying on the floor in a Walmart. The lady looks homeless. I can see that because I can see the lady with like a pillow and some blankets. In the background there is a guy getting Danoninos.
EÎijah (Canoga Park High School)
In this picture it shows a homeless lady in a cold section in a grocery store with her belongings. This is showing that she need a place to sleep and comfort.
Diany (canoga park high school)
It looks like a woman at Walmart. The blackest look dirty but every thing else looks clean. One she is laying on the floor and two you can see the Walmart sin in the background. I’m not sure if that’s her purse in the cart. she also looks dirty. Than again this may be a way of saying that homeless people have trouble with buying food at any store.
leann (Canoga Park High )
This is a possible homeless person that is laying down on the floor in a grocery store. It can be either very cold outside or very hot and she may have been tired of sleeping outside.
heidymercedes (canoga park)
What's going on in this picture? This lady seems to be homeless and is spending her night at Walmart. What do you see thats makes you say that? She has her blankets out and seems to be very comfortable and has some stuff out that she seems to own. What more can you find? She could probably be participating for a hidden camera TV show.
ANAYA (New York, Harlem)
What is going on in tis picture? I think this women is participating in a movement or challenge. What do you see that makes you say that? The picture doesnt really seem "hopeless", it looks more like "hey lets show people im apart of this". What more can you find? I can see that there in a dairy section of the store.
Jhair salazar (Canoga Park High School)
This lady is sleeping at walmart because she is homeless and she can't somewhere else to sleep. I say this because I see food that are frozen and a person buying food. The workers
Amanda (Canoga Park High School)
I think its a homeless man laying down in the middle of a grocery store. There's a cart with his stuff like blankets, clothes, and magazines. There in a diary aisle, yogurt aisle mostly, and there's a old man in the back round picking out a yogurt.
Mr.Holt (Canoga Park High School)
i think that this lady is homeless and to show that, she has some blankets and a chair that is located on the bottom of the shopping cart. this is Walmart and no one cares. there is always weird people so this normal at Walmart.
Karen (canoga park)
What is going on in this picture? In this picture the person could either be homeless or just posing for the picture. What makes you say that? The reason that i say that is because the women's face doesn't look very sad she looks very aware of what she's doing. What more can you see? i see a water bottle and magazine.
CB (Los Angeles)
@Karen This is a very good observation.
Gilberto Barragan (Your moms house)
In the picture there is a lady laying on the floor in a Walmart. The lady looks homeless. I can see that because I can see the lady with like a pillow and some blankets. In the background there is a guy buying Danoninos.
juan (canoga park high school)
She is sleeping on the floor in a grocery store. She has blankets under her and she seems to be homeless. people don't seem to care that she is on the floor.
Isaac (canoga park )
i think there just trying to sleep under a roof most likely homeless
Maria (canola park high school )
in this picture there is a lady laying on the floor of a super market and i think she's homeless because she has her things in a shopping cart but the shopping cart is from a different store and the lady behind her is shopping for yogurt but doesn't seem to notice the homeless lady
Scott (Canoga Park High SChool)
Seems to be homeless man just waking up This is inside of a grocery store. He is Wrapped around in a blanket I also see a paper with coupons or deals on it for tv
Ralph (Canoga park)
I believe the lady is homeless and went to the cold foods isle to get refuge from the scorching heat outside
big pappi g (cphs)
this lady is waiting for a sale or something like that because Walmart is know for letting weird stuff happen in there store, so then this wouldn't be a surprise if they let this happen.
bryan garcia (Canoga Park High School )
What’s happening on the picture is that there’s a homeless lady living at the cold side of the market(Walmart). I say this because you can see the products on the self and the price tag logo has the Walmart star. I say that the workers don’t care of asking her to leave the place or just to go somewhere because who knows if she or he makes things uncomfortable.
Hooyotha (Washburn High)
This is a possible homeless person laying in a Walmart cold section. She could be homeless, there could have been a natural disaster leaving her homeless. She could also be trying to make a statement by attempting to raise awareness for the homeless by camping out. She has some of her belongings with her on the shopping cart.
K.A.H (Hawks)
What is going on in this picture? I think this person is participating in the 24 Hour challenge. What do you see that makes you say that? This picture doesn't look candid, which leads me to believe it's part of something bigger. What more can you find? I see a person behind them picking something up from the dairy section.
KILLERCLOWNZ (Heritage)
She is silly for sleeping in Walmart.

Andrew Li (WHRHS)
A women is curled up in a blanket while lying on the ground of Walmart in the dairy products section. Beside her, there is also a jacket and a water bottle. There is also a man in the background searching for food to buy, completely ignoring the women. The women appears to be homeless which may be as an act of protest for the harsh and cold conditions that homeless people endure though. If she was actually homeless, she would not be lying in the cold sections of Walmart.
Bob (Miami, North Dakota)
I see a middle aged Asian women covered by a blanket inside of a Walmart. I believe that she is homeless and I feel sad for her.
umulkhayr (heritage)
I think this woman is doing social experiment to see what people would do or think if someone is sleeping in store.
vyuut (uinmk)
i believe this a picture of a girl and she is homeless,but on the other hand i think she is just camping out and posting for a picture.
ABC202 (st.paul)
I see that there is a homeless male/female staying near the yogurt alley. She maybe thinking about camping/staying where nobody will see her, like that person in the background. The area she picked is nice place for few hours, but what if the store management notice and have to tell her/he to exit walmart.
khalid (heritage academy)
I feel the story behind this woman sleeping in Walmart is because she is homeless and just staying in Walmart because she probably does not have anywhere to sleep. The reason I know this is there is a Walmart sign.
Raqiya (heritage)
I think the lady is homeless but shes doing a cover for a magazine because Walmart would not let a homeless person camp out in the dairy section cause it would scare away the costumers.
N.hssn (2846882)
I think the women in this picture is doing some sort of challenge like the 24 hour challenge. The 24 hour challenge is when somebody stays at a store over night or for 24 hours.
nimi (heritage academy)
i think she is homeless she doesn't have anywhere else to go so she came to walmart dairy section for help . The things that made think like this is the place she is sleeping and the stuff she have like newspaper and blanket.
Andrea (South Kitsap High School)
I see that there is a lady camping out in side a walmart And an older gentleman buying vanilla yogurt The lady is laying in front of cream cheese You can see that she has camping stuff in her cart behind her If you look closely you can see clearly that behind her, he is grabbing a container of vanilla ice cream The cream cheese is being kept cooled by her head If you could zoom in a little better you can see there is a wrapper of some kind and a possible ketchup packet
Jaiden Santos (SKHS, Washington)
In this picture, I see a possible homeless man or woman laying on the ground on top of a sleeping bag with a blanket over her. She is also in the grocery store walmart because I see the walmart symbol and the food has been neatly put away, as if they were restocking at night. Another reason why i think it’s at night time is because there is only one person in the back shopping, it could possibly mean it’s at night time. The one question I’m concerned about is why is she laying in the dairy section? Is there more meaning than just laying in the store? I thought it was unusual because it’s more cold on that section of the store.
Korey Barela (Port orchard)
What is in this picture? A women seems to be waiting for some sort of item to go on sale so she can buy or stock up on them. Photo seems to be staged What do i see in the picture to say that? There are other items on sale so she nust be waiting for something she wants buy to go on sale. Everything seems to be to perfect. What more can i find? She is blocking the walkway with her cart and body
TR (skhs)
I think in the picture is a women who is at walmart and is staying there because of an disaster or something and has to be at the walmart and that's why she has a chair and a makeshift bed she is laying on. There's a magazine next to her i have two ideas one it's something for her to read or it's something to for her to point at for the employees to help her get because she probably doesn't speak english. One thing i can’t figure out is that she is in the back of the store and is in the frozen food area unless there's more people we don’t see and she is in an area that is not pack because in the bottom right there is a red thing that looks like a chair possibly a chair for another person.another reason why she might be trying to live is that she has two water bottles one big and one small
Madison (South Kitsap High School)
When I first saw this picture i thought it was a homeless person living in Walmart because Walmart is a 24 hour store. But then once I look at it better I see camping chairs around so I think that it could be a lady (and some other people) protesting on A. the prices on food or B. dairy products.
AB (Los Angeles)
@Madison That’s a good observation! I wouldn’t have thought about it in that way
Emily Kirkham (Port Orchard )
A homeless lady is sleeping at a walmart dairy section. The lady is in need of a place to sleep so she decided to make camp in front of the cream cheese. The man behind her is not paying attention or doesn't care enough to help.
jadyn (south kitsap high school )
i see a woman lying down on blankets and pillows in the dairy section of Walmart . there is also a cart to the right with more supplies . i also see a man in the background just minding his own business and buying groceries .
Kim C (South Kitsap High School)
I think it a homeless person laying in walmart because she has nowhere to stay and she sleeping in the dairy section because it’s a cold place and it’s really hot outside and the manger is letting her because she has nowhere to go that can get her away from the heat and the guy in the background is minding his own business and going on with his day. Also, if you look closely she's smiling because she's finally found somewhere where its cold and their letting her stay there and their also letting her read the magazines they have there and maybe they let her have some fresh new clothes and just letting her have some food and drinks for free because she doesn't have a lot right now.
Kiara (Skhs)
This photo is located in walmart. There is a women lying on the floor with a blanket and she’s surrounded by fully stocked shelves of food. All of the food items are on sale and there is a man shopping very close to the women on the floor. I was surprised by the fact that he didn’t seem to care or notice her but I was also surprised because no walmart employees seemed to be escorting her out and she seemed calm. I also think that maybe she is seeking shelter from a storm. That may be why the man does not seem shocked and also why all the food is discounted. I think that this is what’s happening because if she was homeless walmart would most likely make her leave.
Jordan (SKHS)
At first glance, most would assume that the woman in this photograph is homeless and has taken shelter in a Walmart. However, if you think about it, how many stores in general would let a person sleep in their market? I doubt any retail or grocery store would let a homeless person lay down in the middle of their store grounds. The woman in this picture has well kept and clean belongings, a nice and well kept rain jacket, clean blankets and sheets as well as what looks like a purse behind her and a big water bottle, leading me to believe that this woman is just very recently homeless or possibly seeking shelter from a natural disaster or harsh weather conditions. Many schools and store in the past have opened up to shelter many citizens of their local town for such occasions. The male customer in the background seems to pay no attention to this woman possibly meaning that he’s seen this occurrence before. The Walmart itself is well kept and clean, and also very well stocker with groceries which could mean that they are expecting a lot of customers grabbing essentials before the storm hits. Or it’s late at night during the storm itself since no one would want to travel during that time. So in my opinion and perspective, this woman is seeking shelter and maybe even more people throughout the store due to a natural disaster.
e.t (south kitsap high school )
• What is going on in this picture? I think maybe shes testing out the camping gear at walmart. It’s open 24 hours so she’s in no hurry to get out. Walmart employees from what i’ve seen, are not at all strict about in store policies. • What do you see that makes you say that? The person laying down has things like sleeping bags and stuff in the cart next to her. • What more can you find? I see there’s a person shopping for yogurt. Also out of all the places in walmart she chose the dairy section. interesting .
XE (Port Orchard WA)
This is an image of what looks to be a woman lying on a makeshift bed on the floor of a Walmart. She has clothes and her belongings on the sides of her, which doesn’t look too tidy either. Near her, is a cart with a few camping stuff in it, which tells me there is a good chance she’s poor and/or homeless. There is a great contrast between this woman and her surroundings though. All of the items around her are stacked up very neat and tidy, which tells me that the Walmart had just opened, so it’s probably early in the morning. One thing that I’m having a hard time understanding is why the man behind her looks to be minding his own business. If that were me, I’d be looking at her and trying to figure out what the heck is going on. Overall, this image is difficult to comprehend what is going on.
Chad (WHRHS)
This picture shows so much. It takes place within a supermarket, apparently a Walmart. Close to the photographer lies someone without a home. He/she appears to be lying on the floor because he/she has no other place to stay. Farther from the same point, someone continues their shopping, unaware or uncaring of the poor soul lying right behind them. This shows the unawareness people are of poverty, and many of those who are aware, do not care enough to help.
Andre (Port ochard )
What is going on in this picture? Well is think that some lady camping in walmart and the guy that is behind her is minding his own business and to her left i can see there is more camping gear in the kart. To me that she was camping because she was waiting for the sour cream to go on sale What do you see that makes say that? The reason why i say that is because the sign that is on the counter next to her head is on sale it says “was $2.73 save even more $1.18” it looks like everything is on sale in the store. Next to her blanket is a magazine that's sayin that most of the tvs are on sale
South Kitsap high school (south kitsap high school)
In this picture there is a person that is laying on the floor of a walmart. It could possibly be a homeless person because they have a lot of camping sort of stuff that you would see with a homeless person on the side of the road. next to the person there is a shopping cart full of more camping stuff. On the other side of her she has a magazine and a ketchup packet which could be what she has been eating or it could just be something that someone dropped. She also seems to be by a pretty good sale on cream cheese. The guy in the background seems to be holding some glass container neer the yogurt. And also everything on the shelfs seem to be restocked.
South Kitsap (Washington )
In this picture, you can clearly see that a middle aged woman is lying on the floor of a Walmart. She’s located in the refrigerated section of the store. We could assume that she is homeless due to her cart full of her belongings and the fact that she’s sleeping on the floor. There is also another person shopping for yogurt in the background, who seems to minding their own business. Unfortunately, this is a reality of the everyday life of some people. People, like this woman, are struggling and other people are choosing to ignore it. However, I have more questions. For example, why did she choose to lay in the dairy section? Was this taken in summer when it could’ve possibly been hot and she was trying to cool down?
E P (port orcherd)
I see a girl laying on the floor in the store it look like walmart because one of the sins has there logo on it and she in in front of the cream cheese there is someone getting there food in the back minding their own business it looks like where the girl is is mostly dairy products and there is a shopping cart with camping supplies in it it looks like a lot of things are on sale because there's multiple sins that say they are there are sins up at the top of the pic that look like dairy products like yogurt cream cheese and more she might be protesting because where she is is mostly dairy
Kay (South Kitsap High School, Port Orchard, WA)
The photo is taken in a grocery store, Walmart. The gentlemen in the back is minding his own business, buying his big container of yogurt, with seemingly no care else in the world. The women is getting ready to sleep, bundled up in her worn green and burgundy patterned comforter. She chooses to lay on the floor in front of the cream cheese section. She seems ashamed or self conscious as she lays on the floor because she looks down instead of looking directly at the photo taker. Near her is a parked shopping cart of camping supplies including a chair and such. She lays on the white part of the floor instead of the divided gray area.
AJ M (WHRHS)
A homeless person is camping in a Walmart trying to avoid the outside weather and possibly keep warm, showed by the man wearing a coat in the back. They most likely were kicked out soon after the photo was taken.
CH (South Kitsap High School)
In this photo there is a woman laying on the floor of Walmart in the dairy section with blankets, clothes, water and a cart of her other belongings. There is also a man in the background getting his groceries from a very neat selection. I think that this photo was taken early in the morning due to how neat everything in the background is and since there is only one person shopping in that area. At first i thought this woman was homeless, but no one would let a homeless person sleep in there store so maybe this woman is a protester. She could be protesting something to do with food for the homeless. I say this because her hair doesn’t look that messed up and no one seems to be trying to get her out of the store.
Maggie (WA)
I wonder why she is laying in the dairy/colder part of the store. If she wants to be warm she needs to go by the clothes or dry foods.
Enjoli (South Kitsap High School)
In the picture I see I young person laying on the ground, trying to sleep on the Walmart floor while another shopper mind his own business in the dairy section. This is what we all see on a surface level, however I believe there’s more, like many other commenters on the site. I feel that the picture symbolizes the general populations actions and opinions. If it doesn’t directly affect them then they don’t care. This is symbolized in the picture by the older man in the back, proceeding with his day. You can definitely tell that the person is there due to having no home because there is a cart with other items that they would use at different parts in the day such as a chair. I like this picture because I find it very interesting that people are so interested in other people’s lives when there's gossip or when they can benefit, however as a whole people are only self concerned when it comes to helping others through hard times. Not everyone is blessed with a good life, and sometimes I feel like some people are like leaves on a tree, when the wind comes they blow away. You never know what a homeless person’s story is, but either way they are enduring tough situations and I feel like this picture symbolizes that. There’s also a thin white line goes from the cream cheese display up to the top of the screen, and it separates the two people. I felt like it was very symbolic. I also noticed that although the person is surrounded by food, they have none themselves.
Rachel (South Kitsap High School)
In this picture, there appears to be a woman camped out in Walmart in front of the cream cheese as at least one other person is shopping. I think she is waiting for the Saturday deals because of the magazine by her side. I don’t think she’s homeless because her blankets seem to be clean, and it looks like she has a folding chair in the cart next to her, and a folding chair seems to be an unusual item for homeless people to keep with them. I also don’t think she’s homeless because Walmart doesn’t let homeless people camp out in their store. She seems to be in an area that wouldn’t inconvenience people that much - if they want the product she’s by, they can get it from the side of the display. If she were in an aisle, she might prevent people from getting the products they want. The man who is shopping appears to not care that she’s there, and maybe assumes that she is homeless.
Jayden B. (WHRHS)
There is a woman protesting the consumption of dairy products. Although it may appear that she is homeless, her blankets look unused and her hair looks styled. She may be an animal activist. The man in the back does not seem to be paying attention to her.
Dylan (WHRHS)
I believe the lady isn't homeless, with the blankets, chairs, and cups. I think she is camping in this section waiting for sales so she has the best deals first.
Aleah (SKHS)
There is a woman laying on the floor of Walmart in the dairy section with her cart of camping supplies. The person in the back does not seem to notice the woman and goes about their business. She may have gone inside walmart because of the cold weather outside and needed some shelter for the night. I would say that this was taken during the early morning hours because the shelves are nice and tidy as if people have not come through and destroyed the aisles. The lady has blankets and her cart of things so that is why it is possible she was staying the night. The dairy section seems to all be in order and nothing looks to be out of place indicating the early morning hours of her stay. This woman appears to be cold though because she is cuddled in her blankets trying to get warm.
Dylan Cooper (WHRHS)
There is a women lying under a blanket in the dairy section of a Walmart. There is room for two on the mat they are lying on so I'd assume that her husband is searching through the store for some food. My guess is that there is a storm outside and her home got destroyed. I think that she is in the dairy section because it is colder and it's more comfortable to sleep in. As we all know it is better to sleep in a cold environment and warm up with a blanket.
Ciara LaRue (South Kitsap High School)
In this picture I see a woman laying on a floor in walmart.She looks like she is protesting something, because she has other camping gear and it looks like she has made a barrier around where she is at in the store.You might be thinking how does she know it is walmart? Well look closely to the background, you can see the walmart sign where the cream cheese is at. Well what I see is a woman protesting for something that means the world to her. I see that the man in the background does not mind, he is just trying to shop. I can see that she was very prepared for this and she made sure she had everything that she would need for this. She even brought water and a magazine.
Mfears04 (south kitsap high scool)
In this picture it shows someone sort of camped out inside of a Walmart trying to sleep. It also shows someone else in the back shopping just minding their own business. In this photo everything on the shelves seams very neat and organized other than the un-attended shopping cart in the back with what looks like a camping chair ad some other blankets. Another thing I noticed that in the very bottom right corner of this photo it shows another wheel to a cart so it would be quite obvious someone was there. The store also doesn't seem to bright other than the light coming from where the sour cream and other products are so it ma be past closing time and just an inference the guy in the back is in all black and he may be a worker which makes this photo even more odd.
Jayden Cook (South Kitsap High School)
There’s a homeless person lying on the ground covered up with a blanket in Walmart. The person is lying in front of Cream Cheese.There’s some camping gear in a grocery cart to the side of the person. There is also a man shopping and it seems as if maybe he hasn’t noticed the person or maybe he’s minding his own business.Maybe the homeless person is seeking shelter from a storm or trying to get food or money. I’m not sure if they are homeless though because huge store chains or any public place in general doesn’t allow homeless to sleep inside so maybe it is a protester.
SKHS (Washington)
@Jayden Cook Awesome!
Amber (whrhs)
There is a woman staying at walmart going to sleep in the dairy section and there is a man in the background.
Patrick (Watchung Hills Regional High School)
In this picture, I think there is a homeless woman with all of her belongings in a Walmart store. She has a blanket and items so she can sleep, a shopping cart with a chair in it so she can sit, and a magazine for entertainment. It is probably warm in the summer heat so she came into the store to cool down. Also, since she is in the middle of the store with the man not even paying attention to her she may be trying to get help, and the message may be that people are just ignoring the homeless people.
Eden (WHRHS)
In this picture I see a homeless woman sleeping on the floor in the dairy section of a Walmart. She has her own sleeping bag and blanket. It looks like she is taking a nap in the cold isle maybe because it is too hot for her to sleep outside. There is also a man shopping for food in the background not paying attention to her or looking at her.
Kristen (WHRHS)
In the picture, there is a woman sleeping on the floor in the cold section of a Walmart. It also seems like it may be cold outside because the other person in the picture is wearing a warm jacket. The lady laying on the ground is also covered in blankets. It seems that she is homeless and went inside the Walmart because she had no where else to go to get warm. The person in the back is also not really paying attention to the woman laying on the ground which is unusual.
Anthony (WHRHS)
In this photo, a homeless woman is sleeping in Walmart. The Walmart is most likely open 24 hrs so it is a stable climate for her to rest in, unlike the outdoors. Based on the fact that the man in the back is wearing full clothing, maybe it is cold outside and that's why the woman is inside.
Joe Swanson (NWHS Marlyland)
In this photo, there is a woman who seems to be laying down in the dairy section of Walmart. She seems to have a paper with tv advertisements on it. There is a cart next to her. I’m assuming it’s hers because there is a collapsible chair. Most people probably wouldn't don’t bring chairs into Walmart. There are a couple of signs that show there are even more sales than usual. The signs are black. I’m guessing this lady is sleeping overnight in Walmart the day before black Friday so she can be the first to get those insane deals especially the deals on the tvs she was looking at.
David (whrhs)
In this picture there is a woman that is trying to sleep on the floor in a Walmart. You can see in the background that there are people that are shopping around her. She may be homeless because she is sleeping in the Walmart. And obviously that is not something that people that are not homeless do.
Ian Chung (Watchung Hills Regional High School)
This lady/man is homeless, and is sleeping in Walmart. I know that because there is the Walmart symbol on one of the sales signs. Also she is clearly lying down with a seeping bag. The person in the background is wearing a jacket, showing it might be cold outside. Also, it looks like she has a whole setup here.
Connor (WHRHS)
There appears to be a women laying down and trying to rest on the floor of a walmart, dairy section. I can assume that from first looks that she is most likely homeless and is taking refuge from the weather outside. What is confusing is that she is wearing a blanket in the cold section of the store, and you can tell by the jacket of the other person that it is probably colder outside. Why would she not be in a warmer section of the store? she may even be a protester of dairy products as a vegan, and is sleeping there to prove a point.
davidbennn (nj)
woman lying on the floor in walmart and man buying diary product.
Nav Bal (WHRHS)
A woman is laying down on the floor in a walmart with a blanket while a man is in the background without noticing or before anybody noticed. Maybe she wants to show that she is without a home.
Krystyna (WHRHS)
The image has a lady sleeping on the floor of a Walmart. It looks like she is homeless or just in need of a different place to stay. because of the blankets and other belongings around her. She probably has no where else to go.
Lauren Eknoian (WHRHS)
There is a woman who is most likely homeless sleeping on the floor in Walmart. She made a bed on the floor and has a blanket which makes it seem like she is going to sleep on this floor, and people who have houses to live would not chose to sleep on the floor in Walmart. Shes in the dairy section because it may be hot outside and it would be cooler in this section of the store.
SKHS (Washington)
In this picture, I see a woman laying under blankets in the grocery store. Another person is shopping and minding their own business. The woman might be “begging” in a different kind of way them most do. She could be purposely drawing attention to herself where she has to come in close contact with other people. When they’re on the side of the road or at a corner people are driving in their cars so they feel like they can just ignore them and drive away instead of giving them money. In the store the woman could have thought that it could almost guilt many into giving her money. It might be brutal of me to say that, but it's definitely something people will do to get their point across or their goal achieved.
Jayden Cook (South Kitsap High School)
@SKHS oh yess very good
amira ahmed (heritage school)
I see someone lying on the ground. There is someone in the background. She is covered with a blanket. She is homeless because her clothes are dirty. I'm wondering why is she lying in a dairy sections ?
Kim C (South Kitsap High School)
@amira ahmed Probably because its hot outside
Maggie (WA)
@amira ahmed perhaps to escape heat outside
MG (Heritage)
Companies don't let homeless people sleep in their stores. protesters however threaten to ruin a company's reputation. I think this person a protester which is why Walmart refrains to throw them out.
Nasteha ali (Heritage )
A woman camping or protesting the price of the food or the hunger of the homeless in the Walmart. I do not think that she is a homeless mainly because her hair does not look messed up and she is wearing a good black striped shirt. and she has a water bottle. and the man in the background do not care about the woman.
Luulay (Heritage Academy )
There is a women laying on the floor in Walmart. She seems to be homeless. Her belongings are right next to her on the floor. The people are living their daily lives, minding their own business. It seems like they don't mind or care. It looks like no help is even being offered to the women on the floor.
salma (Minneapolis )
A woman is in cub foods laying down with blankets in the dairy section of the store doing the 24 hour challenge. The 24 hour challenge is when you try to sneak into a store without getting caught. I think that she is going to get caught during the process.
Omar (Minneasota)
I see a women lying in a market. Also, a man in the background not paying any attention to the person in need. Another thing I think about this photo is that the manager allowed her to sleep because she had no place to stay.
Najmo (heritage)
The girl who is sleeping does not look homeless because she has clean clothes and a clean blanket. I think she works there and is just taking a rest.
Maggie (WA)
@Najmo I agree that she doesn't look homeless but I don't think any company would let their employee take a nap of the floor of the store.
Ruwayda (MN)
I see a lady sleeping in Walmart, in need of a place to stay. She's in the dairy section to get cool from the heat outside. She wants people to know about her conditions of being homeless and see through her experience.
Hamdi (Minneapolis)
I see some lying on the floor in a supermarket. I think she is seeking shelter. I see another man shopping. I also see food by the wall.
Luulay (Heritage Academy )
There is a lady laying on the floor in walmart. she seems to be homless. she has all here belongings with her on the floor. she has
Abdi (Heritage)
I think that the woman is camping out for a Saturday only deal since she has a magazine on her that says it.The deals she is looking for is dairy products.
AR (Palmdale)
I see an lady sleeping on a Walmart floor covered in a blanket... while a guy who is buying food isn’t minding his own business. We can see that there are people struggling in the everyday life and many people seem to just ignore it. Some people just worry about themselves and don’t seem to care at all about others but if we make a move and help those out there we can always make a difference.
Mrs. Olson's 3rd Grade Class (Bismarck, ND)
We see someone lying on the floor in Walmart. We see food on the shelves and another person shopping. We also see someone covered up with a blanket. We are wondering if this person has no home. Why are they lying on the floor in the store? Why do they have blanket? What is the man in the background buying and why hasn't he noticed the other person on the floor?
D'Ailly group 1 (Compiègne, France)
We can see a woman lying on the floor in a supermarket with all her belongings. She is probably homeless. Around her there is a lot of products. In the background a man is bying some of them. The photo is quite shocking because she is surrounded by the wealth of others. As an exemple, the man in the background doesn't care of her and doesn' thelp her. The photographer took the photo to show how much the gap between the poorest and the wealthiest is growing. The sentance "Save even more" illustrate the fact that the rich people prefer saving money than people in need.
Jenny Miller (New Jersey)
This is a photo of a homeless woman trying to sleep inside of a Walmart. It looks like she's in the dairy section, implying that she could be looking for a place to cool down during the harsh heat of the summer. If the person viewing this photo looks around the woman, one can see that she has a few personal possessions; including a water bottle and a few blankets. She also has a few magazines and is using a shopping cart to hold an extra blanket and a folding chair. It also appears that people just shopped around her, not offering any help. The person in the background doesn't seem to look at her. There is also a wheel of a shopping cart at the bottom right hand corner.
Rodrigo M. (California)
A girl is protesting the torture that cows go through to create all the dairy products around her as well as the capitalist greed behind making them. The fact that she's young makes me not think she's a homeless person as well as the dairy products around her. She has a store catalog beside her, to probably check the dairy of this store.
Rachel (South Kitsap High School)
@Rodrigo M. Why does being surrounded by dairy products make you think she isn't homeless?
Mike W (Whrhs)
There is a man shopping and a lady sleeping on the floor of a Walmart shopping center. The women is camping out in the fresh produce section of Walmart. There is an catalog on her blanket for "Saturday deals" at Walmart. The women could be possibly homeless taking shelter at Walmart or she could be camping out to buy the new Saturday deals, since she has a catalog with her.
Marianna R (WHRHS)
This image displays a woman sleeping in the dairy section, a cold location, of Walmart. She is laying down on a padded material and her sheets are well kept but seem outdated. She doesn't seem homeless as her jackets are in good quality, she has a water bottle, and magazines. Unless these items were taken from the store, she seems to have enough money for extra things like magazines. Walmart doesn't normally allow sleeping inside their stores, but this may be for an exception for a certain occasion, such as a disaster occurrence where they let people with destroyed homes take shelter there. This could also be a protest against one of Walmart's regulations.
Isabella Perez (WHRHS)
A homeless person is seeking shelter in a Walmart with a sleeping bag and a blanket. There seems to be a person around her and ignoring her, or not giving her much attention. She put herself in the dairy section of the Walmart which is the coldest part of the supermarket. It looks like she might possibly have a cart that is carrying her stuff. Also looks like she has a magazine for entertainment, water for her to drink and a sign that can be asking for something like money or food.
Nikki (WHRHS)
There is a woman laying on some sort of sleeping bag surrounded by clothes in a Walmart. Next to her is what looks like a rain jacket, a book and a bottle. She is obviously not homeless, because Walmart does not let homeless people camp out in their store. She must be taking refuge after a natural disaster. Someone behind her is not paying her any mind and continuing to shop. The woman is in the diary section of the Walmart with yogurt.
Elizabeth Killeen (Watchung Hills)
In this photo, it appears that a middle aged woman, who is probably homeless, is spending the night at a local Walmart. If taken recently, she could be protecting herself if shes in the recent hurricane zone. Or perhaps she is protesting. Whatever she is doing, she is most likely homeless because the cart next to her is not a Walmart cart and her belongings look scattered and random.
Ashley (WHRHS)
I think that the women is homeless and is seeking shelter inside of Walmart to give herself everything that she needs to be comfortable. She is in a sleeping bag and is laying on the floor. The shopping cart behind her makes us think that she is homeless and everything in her presence is what she has. She may be trying to shelter herself from bad weather.
Trisha (Watchung Hills)
In this picture there's a woman sleeping on the ground at a Walmart. She appears to be homeless with a sleeping bag and blankets and water. This situation could be recently due to a storm that potentially ruined her home and has nowhere to stay.
Ariya B. (WHRHS)
I see a woman laying in an almost empty grocery store trying to sleep. I can assume that maybe that maybe the woman is homeless, and the store owners permitted her to sleep inside the store for shelter, or, maybe there is a natural disaster that she and maybe others are seeking refuge from because their homes and belongings may have been destroyed.
michael Sabatella (WHRHS)
This demonstrates the poverty in America. It shows her trying to find somewhere warm to stay. This also may be showing that it could have been after a natural disaster. So possibly with a special circumstance at late hours they would let people sleep for a while.
Anish (New Jersey)
This is likely due to the plight of the homeless in certain parts of the country. The fact that a customer nonchalantly goes upon his way buying groceries without heeding any attention to a person sleeping in the aisle insinuates that this is a common occurrence in the given area and represents how homelessness plagues certain areas affecting the ambiance of certain stores like Walmart.
Ariadna (WHRHS)
A woman is lying on the ground of a Walmart while a man in the background is shopping for some dairy products. She has a water bottle next to her and is covered in blankets with a small mattress under her. Seeing as how normally Walmarts don't normally let the homeless sleep in their stores I assume this is for special circumstances. She could have been evacuating due to a natural disaster near by and seeking refuge.
Kelly Rhyner (WHRHS)
There is a women wrapped in blankets on the floor of walmart. You can't tell whether she is sleeping there or if she is protesting something. She is in the dairy section so it is a cooler part of the store. The man or women in the background seems to be ignoring her or hasn't noticed yet. Maybe the manager let the homeless women sleep there for the night since she had no other place to go.
Leo Yan (Whrhs)
Seems like a person squatting in a Walmart in order to escape cold weather.
Sam Betzner (Whrhs)
I see a homeless lady sleeping in a Walmart. The Walmart looks like it is full of food and untouched. There is a person buying food as well in the background. The girl looks like she is just trying to find a place to sleep. I dont understand why she is staying in the refrigerator section.
Lizzy (watchung hills )
This picture shows a women sleeping in a sleeping bag in Walmart. she could be in there because she is homeless and it is to hot outside, or she could be taking refuge in there after a natural disaster occurred and her home got destroyed
Christina B. (WHRHS)
The photo displays a homeless person staying in a super market (Walmart). There are blankets and other living suspense around the homeless person. In addition, there is no one noticing her and not many people are in the photo; only one person. The homeless person may be protesting, or has no other place to go to.
Corey Williams (West Bloomfield, Michigan)
I feel like the manager let a homeless person sleep in a store because she has n other place to go. Also predicting that there is a disaster going on locally.
Vinny (Michigan)
A homeless person in Walmart that is hungry and hoping that someone will buy food for them. She looks very cold. Theres a folding chair in the shopping cart. So it could be all that she has in the shopping cart.
Rodrigo M. (California)
@Vinny I like your response, but she instead should be waiting in a different isle than the dairy one.
Alexis (Michigan )
There is a homeless person laying on the floor in a walmart to keep warm from outside becouse it is cold and the flooors in a grocrey store is warmer than outside.
Amy Measom (USA, Michigan)
A homeless women is sleeping in Walmart. (The guy in the back doesn't care to help her.) I think this due to the blanket, and her tired expression. She owns a bottle to drink water. The magazine is for entertainment. She owns the cart to carry her belongings, including coats, and a chair to sit at while asking for money or food at the side of the road.
hi (NWHS MD)
There is a girl sleeping on the floor at a Walmart. She might be sleeping there because she is homeless. There is also another person in the back who is grocery shopping. The girl has a water bottle so she might be planning on staying there for a while. She also seems cold because she is wrapped very tightly in her blanket but it is probably because she is in the fridge section.
Joyce (Northwest Highschool)
In this image, I think this image dipicts someone sleeping or staying in a dairy sections of a Walmart after a natural disaster. The woman laying on the ground has multiple items, including a big, decorated blanket, another blanket as a mattress, a plastic reusable water bottle, a coat, and a magazine of some sort. The fact that she has such nice blankets, etc, leads me to believe that she is not homeless, since the items seem to be in such high quality shape. Also, she has bangs that are still well kept. If, she were homeless, they would probably have overgrown over her eyes. It also seems to be a clam time (either early in the morning or in the evening) since that section is pretty much empty.
Kristin P (NWHS Maryland)
Displayed in this picture is a middle aged woman with dark brown hair, laying in the dairy section of Walmart with many pillows, blankets, water, papers, and more belongings in a shopping cart to the right. Based on what she is wearing, a hat or a hooded sweatshirt, and the many blankets, it must be winter time. However, I do not think this woman is homeless because of her brushed hair. This quite possibly could be a "youtuber" creating a video on what it is like to stay overnight in a grocery store.
Avery (Japan)
Homeless person sleeping in Walmart trying to get help but no one is paying attention to the homeless person
Avery (Tokyo )
You can see that there is someone in the back buying what they need not even noticing the homeless person laying on the ground. They don’t even offer to help with anything. We also realize that it might not be a Walmart cart, it’s her own
Charlie K (NWHS Maryland)
Women is in a store laying down with blankets in the dairy section of the store doing the 24 hour challenge to get views for Youtube.
Kara (NWHS,MD)
I think that this is a homeless woman in North or South Carolina trying to find refuge from the looming Hurricane Florence. Though she has a lot of items for someone who is potentially homeless, she has two water bottles around her, which suggests to me that she is preparing for this incoming storm. Additionally, she settled herself in the cooled, refrigerated section of the Walmart grocery store, which means she really settling in and wants to be comfortable. I think if she was only staying there for less than a day, she wouldn’t really camp as she has in this picture, and would lay her stuff in the non-perishable aisles of the grocery store. One more reason why she is taking refuge from Hurricane Florence was that she has brought two foldable chairs with her and seems to have all her belongings, which implies that she doesn’t want any of her few valuables to be damaged in this storm. Finally, the man in the background could possibly be completing some last minute shopping before being hit by the storm, but chooses to avoid the woman because he understands why she is staying there.
Andrew (NWHS)
I think this picture is representing all of the poverty that we have in this world. I say this because I see a woman on the floor with a comforter and maybe a sleeping bag on the floor. I see a jacket and some papers on the floor. There’s even a hat that you can see at the bottom of the picture. I feel like it may be winter time and that’s why she has all of these big blankets and winter clothes. She is most likely homeless and was probably looking for a place to sleep where it is not freezing cold because that is probably what it feels like outside right now. I feel like she probably slept there overnight and into the morning where now customers are coming in to shop. Everything that we can see in this picture that surrounds this woman is probably all she has right now.
Alex N (NWHS MD)
This woman is homeless and has decided to live in Walmart for the moment. She is laying on an open sleeping bag and has a blanket to cover her. She is also resting her head on some sort of pillow. She has a water bottle to her side and in her shopping cart, she has a portable camping chair with more blankets and a pair of shoes. She has a water bottle to her side. Next to her, she has a bag that usually holds the sleeping bag. She is sitting next to a sale on butter. There is a man in the background who is buying greek yogurt and is trying to ignore her.
Connor (NWHS)
I see a homeless person sleeping inside a grocery store because its probably warmer inside the store than outside. Also I see a man getting some Greek yogurt.
Vanessa (NWHS Maryland)
There is a homeless person in a Walmart and she’s laying down among blankets and inside a sleeping bag. She’s in the dairy section where a man is shopping for yogurts behind her. To the right of the girl there’s a shopping cart that may be the girls or someone else’s. To the left of the girl there’s a sign about saving money with the Walmart logo in the top left corner. It is probably cold outside and the girl is in the Walmart because she can’t find a place that’s warm enough to sleep in and the man behind her is wearing a jacket making it seem like it’s cold in that area of the US.
Cassidy (NWHS Maryland)
There is a man getting his groceries and a woman laying on the floor in a grocery store (Walmart). The woman is most likely homeless and has to sleep in the store as her only option. It appears she has a few blankets to keep her warm. This image shows different perspectives on life as one man is searching for food that can be paid for, and one woman that has close to nothing. There is a shopping cart to the right of the woman that could possibly belong to her. There is a lawn chair in the bottom of the cart that the woman might use as she wanders around finding places to stay.
angela (NWHS, Maryland)
This is a picture of a woman laying on the floor of a walmart, signified by the walmart logo. With her she has many blankets, a pillow, an insulated container, a water bottle, a yard chair, and a shopping cart. The items she has with her signify that she is probably not homeless. Additionally, what the man is wearing in the background hits that they are in an area that is cooler because he has many layers on. Storms that have been affecting our area could have cooled the weather, so I think that this woman is a victim of the storms that have been affecting our area. Her home was probably destroyed so she took shelter in the local Walmart.
Olivia C (NWHS Maryland)
The homeless woman was outside of a Walmart. I could tell it was a Walmart because of the sign. She was set up with her blankets and her water bottle. An employee saw her outside and told her she was welcome to come in. The severe cold was the reason, it wasn't safe for her to be outside in those temperatures.
Jack (NWHS Maryland)
There is a homeless lady who is resting on the floor in walmart. I think she is living out of her shopping cart and is probably trying to stay inside. She could also be protesting because she seems to have everything she needs like a water bottle, air mattress, and more.
johnny (michigan )
the women is homeless and walmart is letting her sleep there because she has nowhere to go
Zacc (Michigan)
Woman that is protesting is hitting the chug jug She is wearing a dress shirt, and has a pair of shoes behind her, she also has some nice blankets and a pretty nice coat. Also she has a chug jug at her feet.
Sammy Ingbere (International Space Station)
this person looks like a nice person and they just needed a place to sleep and the manger was nice kind and just just let her sleep here.
Jack (NWHS Maryland)
The person’s had gone to wal mart with her mother and as they were making the rounds to get some Reddy Whip because they like cream not oil. As they were rounding the corner her mother saw her friend Cheryl who was there for the fire sale on the butter. Cheryl is a talker so the daughter decided to set up her air mattress and play some fort nite while she waits. Legend has it she is still there to this day.
Erica (NWHS Maryland)
My first guess would be that the woman lying there is homeless, and she doesn't have any other place inside to sleep. But, that seems all too predictable. I think that she is protesting something. There seems to be papers that have a lot of information on them that are lying on the blanket.
Jessica (NWHS Maryland)
There is a woman camping out in a Walmart. She brought a sleeping bag and blanket to keep her warm on the cold tiles and because she is in the refrigerated section of the store. In her shopping basket, she has a chair in case she gets uncomfortable on the floor. She also brought a magazine to read if she gets bored and a water bottle in case she gets thirsty. She has more blankets and bags in her cart to carry everything she might need while waiting in line. I think she's camping in the store for a big sale.
Angel (Michigan )
I think that nobody really cares that someone is sleeping in the middle of the store.
PHB (Fermont)
A manager let a homeless person sleep in the grocery store. It might be during a natural disaster, hence the situation.
Mrs. Brosi (Danville, Kentucky)
My students think this is a homeless person in a Walmart in America. However, one of my students is doubtful the woman is homeless because she looks like her hair was done in a salon. They wonder if the cart beside her is her own cart. They also see a Walmart shopper.
Ms.Czeszynski's class (Texas )
Ms.Czeszynski's 5th grade thinks this picture is: * A guy spending the night in Wal-Mart for Youtube. ( a 24- hour challenge) *A homeless person in Wal-Mart, he is in the dairy isle *A homeless person needed a place to stay *There is a man in the background buying yogurt? *Maybe they are shooting an advertisement, or trying out a mattress. * He's a daredevil *The guy in the back needs some milk, maybe this guy is with the gentleman sleeping on the floor. *This gentleman was too tired to go home so he slept on the floor. *The guy's car ran out of gas so he had to spend the night there.
Katerina (WHRHS)
There is a homeless female staying in Walmart due to weather issues and Walmart is allowing it to help the locals
Cullen (Watching Hills Regional Highschool)
Someone is sleeping out in Walmart after a storm destroyed their house or made it temporarily uninhabitable.
Jack Taub (Watchung Hills )
I think that this is a person sleeping in a wall mart because their house got destroyed from the hurricane.
Julia (watchung hills)
I think the person is sleeping in the Walmart dairy section because there may have been some type of power outage, due to a storm or accident. They’re in the dairy section to keep cool in the hot weather.
Michael (Watchung Hills)
The woman is homeless and has nowhere to stay. Walmart is allowing her to sleep in there until she finds somewhere else to raise awareness for the poor.
Taylor H (WHRHS)
I think this has taken place after or during a natural disaster where homes have been destroyed and people need some place to stay.
Kylie (WHRHS)
In this photo, a person who appears to be a woman is sleeping on the ground of a Walmart by the frozen section. She has a lot of thick blankets but wants to be near the cold section for a specific reason. I think she's doing this because she could be homeless and where ever she is, the heat could be too intense to sleep outside so she needs a cool place to sleep.
Alex (New Jersey)
There seems to be a women who is sleeping in the dairy section in a walmart, which is one of the colder sections in the store. There might have been a natural disaster that led to her losing her house, or maybe she is staying inside because of a natural disaster waiting to happen. Or she just might be homeless and Walmart decided to let her sleep overnight.
