in this picture I see a little girl holding hands with what's seems to be her dad and or other family member
Alyssa (Castlemaine, VIC, Australia)
We think that the little girl in the picture might be holding hands with her dad. He might be in some sort of military parade, maybe they are feared veterans. She looks like she has come from a dance practice or from a fancy dress party.
Paula Kim (Santa Ana, CA)
My 4th grade class thinks that the little girl in the blue dress is holding hands with her father who might be the captain of this army. We also wonder if this is some type of parade in which the military is involved in.
Ariyah E-M (Milwaukee wi)
I think the soldiers are in a reenactment and they are ordered to protect the princess. I see all of the troops and its a little girl in a princess dress
Makayla (Kentucky)
I noticed in the image that the soldiers are all wearing a uniform and walking in formation, while the little girl is walking with another soldier and wearing brighter colors. I think this comes to represent that even in dark times there is always light even if life starts to feel like you are just "walking in a formation."
landon (grafton,ohio)
we see a little girl and solders
zhihan (taiwan)
I think the girl is the daughter of the man who hold her hand. Maybe they are going to somewhere that they can take a rest. This picture get more fantastic because of that cute girl.
Grace (U.S.A)
In this photo there is a young child accompanying adults dressed in what appears to be military uniforms. The adults have on hunter green Brodie helmets and hunter green coats that look like they are from the mid 1900s. Some are holding muskets. I believe that the adults are reenacting a war and the child is one of the actors. I think this because those military uniforms are not often used anymore.
stella (singapore)
I imagine this to be a commentary on the military regimes in various countries where someone in the army may be accountable for other people in their life. Here you can see the girl wearing vibrant clothes as opposed to drab green uniforms by the soldiers and holding her family member's hand. Notice how they stand at the back of the line implying those with such young family take a step back from their duties, still participating but taking that step back to consider their position and the outcome's effect on his family.
abby (texas)
I believe it is men going off to war. I came to this conclusion because of the "hard hats", combat boots, guns, and attire. There's a little girl on the far left of the image in a blue dress. I believe she is holding the blonde mans hand.
Skylar Millington (Dallas)
Armed military or just men with guns are walking and a little girl with a princess or ballerina costume is walking with them. I believe this because they are armed and walking in formation and the little girl doesn't exactly look like sh belongs there. I believe she either got lost and is getting help back or was in danger and these men saved her. It looks like it's outside of the US and the long coats and hard helmets indicate that it may be Russia or somewhere in Europe.
Mona (San Jose)
Savannah from Santa Clara says: These look like military people because of their hats and guns. Maybe they found a lost little girl and took her in to try to look for her mom. The girl and her mom went to ballet class. After class they went to eat and the girl asked if she could play in the grass. Then we she came back into the store, she didn't see her mom and went looking for her. She got lost and saw these military people. They asked her "Where's your mom?" The girl replies "I don't know!" So they all go looking for her mom.
許育寧 (Taiwan)
There are armys and a little girl with Cinderella look dress walking om the street. The highlight of the picture is that with the bright color of the girl while the dark green of the armys makes me smile a lot. One of the man is holding the hand of the girl ,it is so adorable that makes the serious picture a little bit more interesting.
Jj Berrocal (Greensboro)
I think that she is with her grandpa and his troops, and they are heading to a memorial service
erwin rommel (Normandy)
I think that a girl joined a group of men dressed as Soviet soldiers from World War II. They were part of a military parade held in Tiraspol to observe the 20th anniversary of Transnistria, a separatist region that broke away from the former Soviet republic of Moldova.
Reese (Covington)
I think that the little girl is related to the man probably holding her hand. Like a father or grandfather figure. I think they are related because they seem to be walking willingly together and maybe they are protecting her. I think the soldiers in front are much younger than the man escorting the little girl.
Frances (alaska)
it shows a little girl in her princess dress with a bunch of people that look like soldiers.
Shrek (Far Far Away)
I think they are soldiers who are on a parade and accidentaly found a little girl who's lost and I think they are not on a war because the picture was colored and bright. (I thought they were cosplaying attack on titan at first) :3
Mycus Fernandez (Kodiak, Alaska)
It looks like the little girl is being escorted because the people in front of her look like soldiers because of the clothes they’re wearing & they’re holding guns. The little girl is probably important and they’re trying to keep her safe while they take her somewhere. My second guess is that the little girl is following them. It might be her birthday because she’s wearing a dress.
Jvvvv (Alaska)
I can see that there’s people walking wearing soldiers gear. It looks like they march on town.
Mica (ALASKA)
For me, the little girl accompanying her dad which is the soldier during the parade.
Reese (Covington)
@Mica i agree
Elmar (Alaska)
In this picture I see that this kind of people Are marching and they have guns in their arms. And I’m thinking that they’re soldiers practicing or on duty.
Ericka (Alaska)
The girl is walking with her dad. The soldier are marching because there is ceremony.
Mila (KHS ALASKA)
I would clearly assume that the little girl is the man's daughter and she wanted to be with her father so she join him. I would say that the man is wearing a soldier's clothing so he's probably in the army and a parade of some sort was happening.
Louise S. (Alaska)
In this picture, I see a little girl holding her dad's hands or a relative, and she probably came from a dance recital, and they are walking with some other people. The people that are walking with them are wearing a uniform and holding guns. And I think they came from a war.
Rhealyn (Alaska)
I think this picture shows that a girl joined in a parade with a group of boys that was dressed up as a soldier.
Joshua M (Alaska)
I think that the girl is being escorted to castle. It might be her birthday and they're doing something with the theme princess.
Crystal (Alaska)
I think this picture shows there on a something parade and crossing the street using the pedestrian lane so it would be more safe.
Elias (Rowad Al Khaleej)
I think that the picture shows a girl with her father who are both reenacting as part of a parade or a memorial to perhaps some type of battle or memorable experience. I think that the girl was allowed to dress as she likes while the rest of the people including her supposed father are required to wear a uniform that resembles that of a military soldier.
avery y (SKHS)
what i think is happening in this photo is that the little girl is walking with her dad that's part of a reenactment of a war or there in a parade. the little girl is wearing a bright light blue and holding the guy in the backs hand.
Scott (Mars)
I think that the little girl is the soldiers father and she is marching with him
Madison (Don’t matter)
I think that the little girl is representing her dad or brother
Scott (Mars)
@Madison I agree with you
Chloe (Doesn’t matter)
I think the guy is the little girls dad.
Joey (Troy)
I Think the soldier is her dad and she is sending him off
JackieB (12344)
The men are dressed in all green and are holding guns. And the little girl is holding hands with the man and the girl look very young.
Connor (TMS Missouri)
It seems like the girl is walking with the soldiers to send them off to war.
Aiden (TMS Missouri)
I think that they are helping a little girl across the street because she lost her parents, their marching across the street with a little girl and I don’t think the man and girl are related because of her hair
Syrea Roland (Hoggard High School in Wilmington NC)
@Aiden at first I was seeing what the person above you was seeing(the girl is sending them off) but its usually someone who is related to them, and it don't look like they are. It might not have been her mom, could be a sister, brother, grandma anyone. So yeah I do see a group going to war or preparing and taking a pause and helping our country by being a good citizen on top of fighting for us.
Sage Palmer (Pennsylvania)
From what I can tell, the girl has her hair done in tight braids, she is wearing white tights, she has a flow-ey blue gown and is wearing ballet flats. This leads me to think she was in a dance recital of some sort. And for the man holding her hand in the soldier type outfit, maybe this is her father. But these conclusions don't explain the other smaller boys or girls in the picture who also seem to be dressed the same way the father-like figure is dress. Maybe they too were in the dance recital or maybe they are soldiers like the taller man.
Ms. Navarro (California)
Hi! We are a second-grade class in California. Here are our inferences: - girl holding hands with soldier is probably her dad - There are rifle guns because the army is fighting for freedom - It looks like she is taking medicine to the soldiers - They let the girl in because she wanted to see what it is like to be a soldier - She is dressed like that because she just took a ballet lesson - Also, she is free to wear whatever she likes or she really likes the movie Frozen
Elie Faure Highschool (Bordeaux)
There are soldiers and a little girl, and a man his holding her hand. They are in the street, the soldiers are wearing green and have a green helmet The little girl has blond hair and it could be a national celebration. I think they could be Russian because of the uniform and helmet, maybe the picture was taken in 2011.
Cai (Chicago)
I feel as if the child is intended to represent everyone that soldiers fight for and how they're responsible for their safety.
Samantha (Chicago)
Either, the child is lost and nearby soldiers help her so now they are their way to find her guardians or one of the soldiers is related to the little girl. But, the most reasonable answer is that this is most likely a photoshoot for Veterans Day.
Celina (Troy Middle School)
@Samantha that’s kinda what i thought to. But I mainly thought they were Boy Scouts.
ronaldo (Vancouver Washington)
i think that is a army walking cause they have guns
darius (Vancouver Washington)
the guy has a sword and the other people has guns
Niya (Texarkana,AR)
I think that the little girl dosen't know what is going on but decides to join them anyways because of her family
Alex from ms. Nimeh’s class (Rochester,NY)
I think that this girl’s parents could be a president or a governor and she has guards to protect her because it might be a dangerous situation.
Chuylyr S (skhs)
in this picture it looks like those are some type of soldiers and they are marching through the city maybe after a battle and a little girl decided to join them. i think this because there is a group of people dressed like soldiers and there is a little girl walking beside them holding one of their hands.
Jahnessa H (SKHS)
this picture looks like a father daughter day gone wrong. I say this because the daughter in in a costume so she could be getting ready for a costume party but her dad has to go to work but has to bring her. I say this because him and the other guys are wearing the same thing so they could be soldiers of some sort. I also see that the man holding her hand doesnt have a helmet so he could be the leader
Tony A (SKHS)
I see a girl being taken by a bunch of men with uniforms and guns. I think the girl is being kidnapped and the men are in some kind of evil organization. I wonder why they are taking the girl, I also wonder who they are working for, I also wonder why the girl is wearing a costume.
kile (sifton)
it looks like modern times but they are walking in the street with guns. don't understand why they have a little girl with them. she could get hurt
Andrew (Alta Aurelia)
I think that the little girl is nervous because she’s walking with soldiers and I also think there’s is something that is about to happen in the city.
Adrian (South Carolina)
In this picture, I see soldiers walking with a little girl. The soldiers all have helmets on, except for the one in the back with the girl. Some of the soldiers wield a gun of some type and the one in the back has a hook. The girl is in a blue dress and white tights. I think they are escorting her somewhere or that this is part of a procession of some sort. I also believe the one without a helmet is a commander of some sort. I wonder where they are going and what they are doing.
Jahnessa H (SKHS)
@Adrian i agree with all your observations and it helped me understand more.
bigdaddymel' (South Carolina)
From this picture, I can conclude that the little girl is a spoiled army brat that is going to a ballet performance with the protection of her grandad’s army. I think this because she has ballet shoes on and a dress.
Parkker (S.C.)
People are acting out a skit from a book using actual costumes. I see people crossing the road in two by two lines. I think that they should take away that weapon from the little boy. I wonder if the little girl is lost and they are helping her across the road.
Keyonna.S (SC)
I see a little girl a blue dress. I feel she is like the one that is treated like the Earth revolves around her. I think the male holding her hand is her father and he is keeping close watch on her. The young like males are I guess in cooperation with her possible father and they may be like her big brothers. She could be the girl that is looking up to them or the type to be with her father and see what he does for work. Or it could just be bring your child to work day.
niyah f . (fms .)
The little girl is with her grandfather on his work day to see what and how he does his job.
Karla (SC)
I see young soldiers marching in front of their leader. I see people in green outfits and they look like they are in some kind of gang of a group or maybe a young military troop teaching them discipline. I think this is during the times where nazis were taking children of a certain race and sending them to concentration camps. I wonder if these people are not nazis then what and who are they, are they good or bad, people, and do they save or kill people. The old man is holding the young girls hand.
skyla (sc)
I think the girl is following the man to see how they do their job because maybe thats what she wants to be when she gets older
Makayla (SC)
The man is walking with the girl. The street has been crossed by the people.
Ruben (SC)
I see a girl being taken by a bunch of men with uniforms and guns. I think the girl is being kidnapped and the men are in some kind of evil organization. I wonder why they are taking the girl, I also wonder who they are working for, I also wonder why the girl is wearing a costume.
4 (South Carolina)
I see soldiers and a little girl it looks like they are dressed in costumes ready to go trick or treating.
darius (Vancouver Washington)
little kids running around with guns celebrating veterans day.
Eric (ny)
She is following her dad to protect her
Reading Class (RHMS)
We think that the little girl is lost and the military guys are on a mission to find her parents. The front of the line are new recruits and the man holding her hand is their leader.
Tony A (SKHS)
@Reading Class i disagree because they are in costumes
4-HMR (NJ)
We believe that the little girl's dad is in the military. The dad is taking the little girl to a solidier's memorial. We think this because of the big group or people, the bushes, and the two white flag poles they are walking towards.
Logan (SC)
I see a little girl in a blue dress walking along with an army. I believe they might train her or kill the little girl. In the picture the men, with the green uniform, are walking across the street.
Chuylyr S (skhs)
@Logan i disagree i think maybe they were marching home and the little girl thought it would be cool to walk with them.
DYLAN (ROYHART NY)
i think what is going on in this pic is that the little girl is in a parade
Joseph (SC)
I wonder what the little girl is doing in the picture with who seems to be army men. I think her father is the one holding her hand. where is here mum? I think maybe they helping her across the street. Protecting her from the bad guys maybe this is the present daughter. The girl is wearing a blue dress.
S harris (middle schol)
The guards look like they are try to help the little girl to her to the place where she trying to go.
DUMBBOY#1 (SC)
I see a man holding hands with a little girl wearing a light blue dress. I think he might be escorting her. I also see what looks like a group of children in front of him with what looks like a gun. They’re also wearing what looks like a uniform. I think they’re protecting her or trying to harm her. I'm wondering why it's what looks like all boys are with a little girl & I'm also wondering why they're in the street?
An'Tavieun (SC)
I think they were acting like they were a royal family while they walk the streets, the girl was the princess out of the family.
M. Henderson (SC)
In the picture, there is a big group of people with a small child, the girl in a blue dress, in the street. I think that these people might be escort for the little child, because she might be an important person. I wonder what events lead up to this?
Alaijha (SC)
The girl, in the light blue dress, could be getting exported somewhere or important in someway.
J (SC)
I see that a group of people marching and a little girl. I wonder if they are going to take the little girl away and torture her, ruin her life, and destroy what she is. I think her father is going to be baned for life for letting the people do that. The army, in the green outfit, are marching towards glory and fame.
Jermaine (SC)
The Army man is trying to help this little girl. I see soldiers, with a green raincoat, marching with a little girl in a blue dress. I think they are trying to find the little girl’s mother. I wonder what they are doing with the little girl.
T (SC)
I think this picture is showing soldiers kidnapping the little girl, with a blue dress, to blackmail someone to give them what they need.
Nunya (SC)
In this photo, I see boys and a girl walking down the street. The boys are dressed in cloaks and the little girl is in a blue dress. I wonder why the boys have on a helmet? I also wonder why the little girl is walking with them? And I also wonder why they have on helmets? I think they are a troop like a boy scout troop because nobody walks around in those outfits for no reason unless they are tourists or kidnapping or like I said a troop. But, Its also looks like somebody photoshopped the photo and added the little girl.
Nyla (SC)
I see a girl in a blue dress with a lot of men in lines. The men in the lines has boots, coats, and helmets. The girl, in the light blue dress, looks like she’s in a great mood because she’s skipping.
Javon S. (SC)
I think that one of the military members are walking with their daughter, with a blue dress, because they had no babysitter for them.
Allie (SC)
I think the girl, the one with the blue dress on in the picture, is holding hands with a man who could possibly be her grandfather or bodyguard. I think the man holding her hand, in the picture, could be one of her bodyguards because she had more in front of her holding guns. Leading me to think the little could be famous or has power to her name which is why she has that big group of people in front of her, in the picture.
Kamil (South Carolina)
In this picture, the girl, in the light blue dress, is being transported somewhere by a group of troops or security. I think that the little girl could be Ruby Bridges, the first African American girl to attended an all white school. She’s probably being transported to school, by troops, because she faces a lot of discrimination. I also noticed that this picture is in color, not black and white like early times.
Graeme (SC)
I see a group of people with guns guarding a guy, that looks like the general, and a little girl, who is wearing a dress. I think the girl is related to someone that has power of some sort. I wonder if this is in the U.S. or a different country.
Rob (Virginia)
I think it is a European military parade. It is probably in Russia and it is defenetly cold. The men have guns and are probably in the military.
J Banks (Cincinnati)
We think this picture is of the army. They are walking the leader's daughter to school for a talent show. They are making sure she gets there safely.
Sydney Comet (HHs)
This picture looks like a bunch of army men taking a little girl to ballet class. The little girl appears to have ballet shoes on. The army men make me think that the little girl must be important or in an important family. I notice that the little girl has a blue, tea clip in her hair. I wonder why army men need to take the little girl to dance class or somewhere else.
Mrs McElarath (Block 1)
This reminds me of the Holocaust , This looks like a war is about to happen and their evacuating, A war has happened and the girl is being saved, This reminds me of the Ruby Bridges act,
deonta cook (fairfield middle shcool)
The army is walking the little girl to the other side. The army has Guns, cape, and Hemet. They Protect her form cars.
Block (1)
I see a little girl getting ready to say goodbye to her father, who is going to the military. This is because they are in a line of people in the same uniforms, and those people also have the equipment to go to some type of battle.
McElrath Block 1 (FMS)
In this picture, I see a man with an army of kids or very short men. There is a man is also holding a little girl’s hand, in a blue dress, I think this man could possibly be her dad or she’s in school dressing up, or she’s getting escorted to school because of her royalty. I wonder what the man is holding her for.
McElrath (Block 1)
When I first looked at this picture, I saw a little girl getting kidnapped. However, after looking harder, I came to the conclusion that the little girl is saying goodbye to her father as he leaves for war. This is because of the uniforms, weapons and the calmness between the girl, the one in the blue dress, and the man, as if they know each other. I think he’s trying to enjoy what could be his last moments of life with his daughter, even if it’s just a few minutes.
McElrath (1st Block)
This picture reminds of when a man helped my grandma across the street. In this photo, I see caring men helping a young child. I also see men protecting a little girl.
darius (middle shcool)
This picture looks like there are little kids.That want to be a soldier when they get older and become strong men.
Martia K. (Block 1)
The girl in the blue dress is a child that is being helped across the street by men who you probably made an assumption about as mean, but that shows a sweeter side of them by helping her and not walking by her.
Mrs. McElrath (1st block)
I see a girl, in a blue dress, walking with this army of soldiers, dressed in green capes. I think that in this picture an army of men is taking this little girl away from her family. I wonder where is the army of men taking this little girl; is she scared?
Mrs. McElrath (1st block)
In this picture, it seems like the army crossing the street or marching across the road. Also, it seems like there is a little girl walking with them or they taking the little girl somewhere. Even though that kind of creepy to have people with jackets on and only the girl has on a dress. Also, by looking at this picture it looks like the man is helping her.
Kaitlyn Morgan (Fairfield)
The little girl is either being taken by the military or they are helping her walk safely across the street. Why is she being taken by the military? The man, an army troop, is walking the little girl across the street.
Christina Smallwood (Winnsboro,SC)
In the picture people are crossing the street.It looks as if she is being escorted to her destination,the school,because she in danger to her environment and the people surrounded in her environment
Jaylon.R (Fairfield middle school)
I see guns, green caps, and soldiers. I think that they are getting ready for a war. I wonder what that girl is going to do if the war happen.
McElrath Block 1 (Fairfield)
In this picture, the military is acting as an escort to protect this girl on her way to school, or they could be taking her to school to avoid a terrorist attack or massacre. This reminds me of Ruby Bridges.
McElrath (1st block)
This picture of the little girl with bodyguards that will protect her on her way to school.It looks like they were guarding her as they maybe walk her to school.She looks like she doesn't mind them and she looks comfortable.The little girl,who is walking with those army people,looks comfortable.
McElrath Block 1 (fairfield)
I think this picture shows they are about to go to war, so the soldiers had to escort the little girl to school. The little girl, who is going to school, needs to be protected from terrorist
Chris J. (FMS)
I think in this picture the little girl is joining an army because of an event the happen during WWII
McElrath (1st Block)
In the picture I see soldiers,wearing green capes with army green caps, helping a little girl cross the street. I wonder why the soldiers are helping her cross the street with their guns. I also wonder if the little she is scared of their guns. I think she is.
McElarath (FMS)
In this picture, it looks like they are about to go to war. The picture also looks like the man is trying to kidnap the little girl.
Eddie E. (McElrath group 1)
The girl with the blue dress is a child who is being helped across the street by men.
Mrs.McElarth (1st block)
This picture reminds me of The Wizard of Oz .In this picture I see men walking with a little girl. I think this picture is about protection and how these men are trying to protect this little girl.
Timera Trapp (Fairfield)
The man, has his army of people, to get the girl safely across the road. Why does he need an army to bring her across the street? I think they are dressed for hollowen. The man looks like Luke Skywalker fro behind when he was young. NoT Yo MAMa
Intervention Group 4 (Richmond)
We see a group of soldiers walking across the street. One of the soldiers is holding hands with a little girl in a princess dress. We assume that she must be his daughter or relative.
Olivia H. (LCMS)
There is a group of people in some type of group or army. I know this because all of the people are wearing the same attire. They are all wearing an olive green-type color, which is also part of the colors for the army. Moving on, there is some kind of march occurring. I know this because of the two lines of people in the same attire walking across the streets. In addition, there is also a little girl holding the hand of a man, while walking with the group. If this were to be a non-community type event, they would most likely not allow the girl to walk with them. Also any other regular day, you most likely wouldn’t catch a group of people in matching uniforms casually walking around. Lastly, the little girl in the picture is a toddler. I know this because she appears to be very short and in a costume. In addition, she is also wearing ballet shoes so she may have just come from dance practice. Based on this evidence the group of people and little girl are taking part in some kind of march for the army.
Dade M (CMS)
looks like the girl is with her parent or guardian going somewhere across the street. To where who knows? Looks like the man is in the military probably going to a memorial.
Abdulaziz (Ottawa,Canada)
I think that one of the solders is related to the girl and maybe they are going the the memorial across the street. I also think that the two flagpoles represent US and Canada because they are partners.
Mr. C's 8th grade class (Bloomington mn)
The girl is with her grandpa
Jayvion Wilson (Fort dodge)
Army people are taking the girl somewhere safe
Tanzeela R (LCMS)
The group of people are walking in a parade and the girl is following them. I know this because I can see that they are walking on a street and the girl is most likely holding hands with her father. She is walking with her father and I can tell she is a toddler because she seems to be about 3 or 4. She is wearing a dress and white leggings which also indicates that she is young. She is following her father and others while they march in a parade. I can tell that it is a parade because they are all walking in a straight line like they would in a parade.
Maddie M (LCMS)
The men are going to fight a battle or go to war. I know this because some of them look to have guns or weapons. They are also all dressed the same they all, have helmets, they are wearing the same color, and they all look like they are wearing clothes appropriate for a battle. The little girl in the picture Is walking with her father. I know this because he looks to be the oldest and is holding hands with the little girl, so maybe she is his daughter. The man holding the little girl’s hand is the leader of the group. I know this because he is standing in the back and isn’t walking with another man. He also does not have a helmet. Based on the evidence, these men are going to a battle with there leader in the back, whos daughter is marching with them.
Ashley M (LCMS)
A girl is walking with her father who is going to war. There is a little girl who is holding hands with one of the men. The man she is holding hands with is dressed similarly to all the other men. They are all wearing armored like clothes and our carrying weapons. She is most likely walking with her father before she heads off to war. As a final goodbye before a long period of being away from him. All the men are going to war based on how they are dressed. Furthermore a couple of the men our carrying firearms. Firearms and helmets are things that would be commonly worn in warfare. The men are also all wearing a similar outfit. Which could show that they are wearing a uniform. Uniforms are worn at war so that they can see who is on their team. Based on this the men are headed off into war. The man who is holding the girl’s head is different or more powerful than the other men. The man in the back isn’t wearing a helmet. While all of the other men are wearing helmets. He is also standing in the back. He could be standing there to watch the men and to make sure they are doing what they're supposed to be doing. Based on the evidence the little girl is walking with her father who is headed off to war and her father is a commander or more powerful than the other soldiers.
Ella M. (LCMS)
There is a lot for people in army green jackets and are holding guns. This means they are in the army or were in the army. There is a little girl in a blue dress holding hands with one of the soldiers so therefore they are in some type of ceremony for them because they wouldn’t be holding hands with a girl if they were in a war. They are also walking in a line so this shows they are in a parade. Therefore, there is a military parade for veterans day and the little girl is holding hands with one of them because it is her family member.
Sami A. (LCMS)
The girl in the picture is walking with her dad before he is departed in the military. I know this because she is walking while holding the man's hand and he is wearing a green outfit and everyone else is wearing the same thing and they have rifles on them. The girl in this picture is around three years old. I know this because she is the size of a toddler. She is also wearing what looks like a princess dress and has tights and ballet slippers. All of this tells me that she is a toddler walking with her dad before he gets departed to the military.
Mohammed alkofair (Saudi Arabia)
My first thought when I saw the picture I thought a girl was held hostage, because I saw her holding someone’s hands and an army in front of her But my second thought was may be she wasn’t held hostage she could be being protected by the army scene the army are in front of her
mustafa (school)
i think it is a girl whit her familj and i can see militär going on the stret and the are ready to fight
Lotta (Stockholm)
I think it's a parade and that the girl is holding the hand of her father
Maan Almakhlifi (R.A.I.S)
1st thought) I think that this image represents a girl being held hostage by and unknown army, because they appear to be armed in army suites. 2nd thought) I think this image shows a girl being rescued by military soldiers, they appear to be wearing US military clothing.
christian (us)
their are men with helmets and they look like they are going to war because one of the men has a gun .i think the girl is the daughter of one of the soliders.
Noah (US)
some of the soldiers are wearing different hats and one has no hat and i think that the girl feels special too
Success (US)
it looks like a child of some sort of royalty is being escorted by these soldiers because of the fancy dress she is wearing. I wonder what country this is in?
abigail (fort dodge)
It looks like a girl with her father who his a soldier.
stephen (QCC)
This just a game. They are not real soldiers because they are not adults except the man who is holding a girls. The man should be the teacher of the students , he need to take his students to have a game of war and he has to take the babysit today ,So he take his daughter with his students.
max (new york)
I believe the man is the girl's father. They may have just finished the parade.They are walking to another place.
meixia (new york)
I think that there is a kind of militery parade.The little girl holding the guards hand dressed up in her finest dress and the little girl may be his daughter.They are marching down the street.
suree (queens)
I think this is military parade. the boys are wearing uniforms like soldier. A young girl is walking with them,she is about 5 years old.so cute. we need to remember WWII.
RonCArmi (Haifa)

Macy (Fort dodge, IA)
looks like they are going to something important and the little girl is holding hands with someone, in whom, it may be her father? So they have soldiers in front of the for protection.
Derek m (Landmark UT)
@Macy yeah they are walking here somewhere and maybe she is with them for protection
Mia G. (CMS)
To me, this looks like a little girl in a light blue dress joined a group of men dressed as soldiers from World War II. They might be part of a parade.
Alina (Russia)
In the picture I see the soldiers and one little girl. I think it shows an army parade and a girl holding her father‘s hand. Perhaps this parade is organized on the honor pf the protection of children
Arri (JCMS)
I think that these soldiers are walking to the station to get ready to go into war. When they get there their families will be waiting to say good bye. Either his sister or daughter is walking with them to the station. When they get their they'll say their final good byes and then the soldiers will be off.
Kilian Wolf (Austria)
i think it's a group of soldiers rescuing a little girl from a war or something like that
Nd to (at)
I think that the soldier that is holding the little girls hand is her dad.She might be preforming somewhere because of what she’s wearing.
A highschooler (Providence)
I believe they are child soldiers who were maybe forced to fight and are leading that little girl in the blue dress away from a war zone
Harrison Carter (Hoggard High School)
It is ‘take your kid to work day’ in Switzerland. The girl’s father is in the armed reserves for the civilian military. She wants to show all of his fellow soldiers her new princess costume she is wearing on Halloween. The soldiers welcome her and enjoy her company as they patrol town’s streets.
Interagency Academy (Columbia City, Seattle)
A group of men dressed in military uniforms cross the street with a little girl on the side. They could be rescuing her; she looks about 5 years old. Also, we thought it could be Halloween (the little girl is a princess and the men are military men rescuing her).
Christina H (Cms)
I think the soldier that is holding the little girl’s hand is her father and they might be going to a recital because she has on a dress.Also they all have their uniforms on so it must be important.
terron d (idk)
I think they are having a special event at school and kids were suppose to dress up. They might have a contest for best group.
Nichego ne znaju (India)
I see some soldiers marching along the road. One of them is holding a little girl’s hand. It might be a parade or a Victory day. The girl can be a daughter of one of the soldiers.
Owen P. (CMS)
The picture is showing a military group participating in some sort of parade or celebration. At the end of the line there is a little girl in her dance outfit holding her dad’s hand. This makes me think they are done whatever they were doing and are on their way home.
Taelyn W (CMS)
I thank they are dressed up to perform in a parade and the men are soldiers and the little girl is a dancer giving them hope to help keep fighting for there family so there family can have a bright and wonderful life. Plus they could just be walking the little girl to home because the father might be home from the war to surprise her after her dancing class.
Lili (Villa Blanka)
i see a lots of men dressed up as a soldier and a little girl in a blue dress. maybe it’s a meeting of old soldiers and one of them brought his little daughter too.
Flolin (Innsbruck)
I see a kind of army dressed group of men, one of them is holding hand with a little girl in a blue dress. Maybe they are celebrating some special day like maybe the the end of ww 2
mikey h (CMS)
What I think that it's a girl getting escort her to her dance recital.
Lukas (Villa Blanka, Austria)
I think that it could be a sports team with their trainer and his daughter. Everyone- except from the daughter- is dressed up as a soldier for Halloween as the daughter went as a princess. These are my thoughts on the picture
pps (Texas)
The students in my class believe they are on their way to either a parade or a festival. The little girl will be performing a ballet dance. They think the soldiers will be either dancing or performing in a drill competition.
Jarius H (CMS)
I think that it is a bunch of people that are veterans walking around town to wherever they need to go. the girl must be a part of one of the veteran's family.
Alaina M (CMS)
I think that they are walking in a parade or they are at an event. I think this because they can't be going to war with daughter and they aren't in a battle field. They're just walking down a street.
Diana R (CMS)
I think that they are going to a parade and the soldiers are walking down with their troops and the little girl is holding her fathers hand before performing her ballet recital because she has ballet shoes on with her dance group at the parade.
samantha (PA)
It looks like a soldier walking a little girl across a street with other soldiers.
Ashbel Smith Elem (Baytown, Texas)
4th Grade Baytown, Texas *A little girl walking with soldiers that may or may not be related to her. *I infer that her Dad is the boss and he is taking her to a play. *I think it is a death of a grandparent. *I think they are taking the little girl safe, before fighting. * Maybe they dressed up as soliders and they tricked her into trusting them. * I think that they are going to see their soliders off to war. *They are soliders be celebrated and in a parade. *People in the military are taking her home, becuase she is lost. *I infer that they are going to war and they all have guns. *The little girl got lost and they are taking her home. *Either a celebration or she is getting kidnapped.
Arianna (Iowa)
A soldier walking with his daughter and his other soldiers
Percy (Iowa)
i think its a parade and shes going to preform
Kachamas (NY)
It looks like a place that having controversial problem. Then, soldiers have to protect villagers. In this picture, they might bring the girl out of the dangerous area or red zone which is easy to get attack from terrorists.
shihan (NewYork city)
I think this people in this picture are just finished their work. So that man maybe just bring his daughter to work. The little girl's outfit is very clean and pretty and these guys dressed up like come from 1980.
Miranda (New York)
I think they are soldiers. They look like wearing rain coat that is not matched to the sunny weather. Most of them have helmet and two of them have different hats. Maybe they come from different teams. The man who is walking with the little girl may be her father. He may want to sent his daughter to school before he goes on mission.
nelson (NY)
It is pretty interesting that all these who seems like the soldiers are too clean. So, we can sure that they didn't back from the battle field. What' more, the girl in the photo wore very clean and nice, just like a princess. Thus, I infer that the place they were is a peaceful place at least was not in battle. The whole road is clean and without other people, what's more, the road should be used by cars not people walk on here , so maybe it is parade that the girl and solider walked together which means peace parade to celebrate something they used war and blood to won and got.
lu (new york)
They look like a parade. The little girl wear blue dress may be held by his father. After the parade is over, the little girl may have to perform, like singing, dancing.
Jackie (Queens)
I think they are giving a military parade. These soldiers take the little girl like a mascot.
Jackie (Queens)
Seems like the girl was wear a pair of dance shoes, no body hurts. Only the soldier who with the girl was not wear hats. Soldiers may walk in parade.
Jim (NY)
Maybe the little girl's father just finished his acting job and pick her up from her school

That one of the soldiers is walking with his daughter before he is sent to a country to fight.
Grant (Iowa)
It looks like it could be some sort of parade of event.
Project Learn Adult ESL Class (Stow, OH)
We think that the picture shows a group of young soldiers walking down the street. There is also a little girl who is wearing a fancy blue dress like a princess,she is holding hands with one soldier. some of the soldiers have guns. They could be part of a parade.
Thomas (Space)
It is bring your daughter to work day.

Looks as if its in North Korea and its Halloween. And it looks like a group costume. You can also see a girl in a dress. I also think she didn’t get the memo.

Agata (Beverly MA)
@Bob Ring good job
Group 3 COS (Cleveland, OH)
We think that this is either a memorial walk for someone, a tribute for someone, a dad and daughter reunion, or a private event. This could be a memorial walk because of the army uniforms, rifles in their hands, and the way they are in two straight lines. The two poles in the background could be holding up the American flag and a state flag. This could be a tribute to someone who passed in a war because of the sorrowful look in the picture and this also explains why the little girl is present in the picture. They have rifles, which are not used today, probably for a ceremonial purpose or tradition. They might also have been relatives. This could also be a father and daughter reunion because the girl and man are holding hands. Why else would the girl be there? It could also be the girl’s birthday and that is why the father came. We also noticed that no cars can be found on the road. This shows that this might be a private event. We can also notice the some sort of garden the people are walking towards. Other things we noticed is that the picture was taken in recent years and in spring or summer. The shadows of the people show that it is most likely in the middle of the day. For these reasons, we think this is a memorial, tribute, or a separate event.
gaven (mass)
It is a picture maybe in a different country. It must be a costume party and she didn't get the memo that there were going to be solder. I could be that there are escorting here somewhere. it could be a kid naping
Agata (Beverly MA)
@gaven FACTS
Bob Ring (Mass)
@gaven I agree with it being from a diffrent country.
Agata (Beverly MA)
I think that there are making a prank on the people in North Korea by dressing up as a navy group with a girl that they are kidnapping .
gaven (mass)
@Agata why do you think is a kid naping
Bob Ring (Mass)
@Agata that would be very intresting and funny.
Group 4 COS (Cleveland Heights , OH)
Our group thinks that it might be marching of a military reenactment for the WWII. We think the little girl got scared and wanted to be with her dad. We think this because they are dressed up in WWII war uniforms, they also have rifals, which were used in the war. Their helmets are M1s which were also used in WWII. We see the girl is wearing ballet shoes and a ballet outfit, also with her hair in a fancy bun.
7th grade Group 1 COS (Cleveland, OH)
We think that there is some kind of march going on. There is a large line of soldiers/veterans. The last man in the line is holding the hand of a little girl, presumably his daughter. She is in a blue dress/costume with a pair of ballet slippers. At first we thought it was Halloween, but since there seems to be much light, and we see their shadows on the pavement. We can infer that is not Halloween. We also think that they might be on a march, or a walk. It might be for a cause, statement, or protest. It also seems that the line of soldiers/veterans is continuing onto a path. The other things that we notice is a bridge in the background, We know they aren't marching across the bridge, but the bridge suggests there is a river or water source nearby. Another thing we noticed was that they are crossing the street, because of the shadows we see in the pavement and white lines for cars. Questions we have are: Who is the girl? Why is she with the soldiers? What is the green tag in her hair?
Cos Group 7 (Cleveland, Ohio)
In this picture, we think that the men are heading to an important WW2 event or ceremony since they're wearing helmets, boots, and what i believe are cargo pants. The guy without a hat may be the commander of the group since he looks a bit different, and the little girl is maybe his daughter. They are also wearing the M1 Helmet which is The M1 helmet is a combat helmet that was used by the United States military from World War II until 1985, when it was succeeded by the PASGT helmet. For over forty years, the M1 was standard issue for the U.S. military.
Cos group 2 (Cleveland, Ohio)
I think army soldiers are going to a memorial. I think the little girl is visiting her father who is serving in the military. She is wearing a colorful dress which makes me think she is happy. I think the the soldiers are going to a memorial because they are in full uniform except for the last soldier with the child, he does not have a helmet.They also have ceremonial guns to shoot for like making tributes and stuff. I think they are soldiers because they have a uniform and weapons. I can also find plants in the background and roads that look pretty wide. There are no cars which makes me think it's private. They are walking across the street going to what I think could be a park because of the plants they are walking towards.
Devin Halbach (mexico)

COS 7th Grade Group 6 (Cleveland, OH)
Our group thinks that this may be a Halloween parade that a group of people are doing to spread support for our national guard and our national guard history in the Word Wars. We think the girl in the picture next to the guards is dressed up as the duchess of Austria-Hungary, Sophie Franz.
Christyn Blake (Cleveland,OH)
I think that there is a parade and a group of men are reenacting a military march. A father had to bring his daughter along because maybe they're escorting her to a recital The mother was at work and didn't feel like going. So he just brought the daughter along and she dressed up in her finest dress.
1st Period Room 11 ELA (Belmont CA)
We came up with a couple of claims to explain what's going on in this picture: 1. It looks like the soldiers are taking a girl to a ballet recital. They're getting led to someplace important. 2. It's Halloween because the adults are wearing soldier costumes and the little girl is wearing a ballet costume. This was posted the week after Halloween, so we think it may have something to do with the holiday. Maybe the people in the picture are all part of a large family, or are friends dressed up in similar costumes. The girl is wearing a different costume to stand out from the others.
Landon Powell (SMS)
In this picture, I think that a school is going on a field trip. The reason I think that is because all of they are dressed up for a war. All of them have helmets and tarps wrapped around them and some of them have guns! They look like they are young so, whatever they are doing I hope they are safe.
EMILIE A. (CMS)
i think that the men are heading to an important military event or ceremony since they're wearing helmets, boots, and what i believe are cargo pants. the guy without a hat may be the commander of the group since he looks a bit different, and the little girl is maybe his daughter. she's wearing a blue dress, so maybe they're all going to an event that is formal.
jewel (iowa)
i think there is a military parade and they are walking down the street.
spencercowherd (camdenton mo)
they are going into war?
karsen smith (fort dodge middle school)
they are going home
Katie (Iowa)
I think there is a military parade and one ex-soldiers granddaughter is walking with him. I think this because they are walking down the middle of the street.
Jose (sms)
The people seem to be wearing army hats so this might be an event for the soldiers.They could be returning home to their families after their time as soldiers.Maybe on some sort of march. They could be traveling to another place and just visiting families.
Jacksonnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn (sms😈😈😈)
The boys seem to be coming back from war. The little girl is maybe the captain's daughter and is is going with them. Maybe the boys are all friends going trick or treating as army soldiers and the little girl is a ballerina. She could also be going for a play for the military boys. Whatever they are doing I hope they don't get hurt.
Roane (SMS)
Almost all of the men are wearing protective clothing and a hard hat. Some of them have guns and they are wearing green, so maybe they are soldiers. The little girl is dressed very formal in a blue dress. The man holding her hand is probably her father. They are crossing the street, so they could be heading somewhere important. Perhaps they are going to a ceremony or meeting of some kind. All the men are dressed like something we don't see every day, so I think they are on their way to a memorial for someone lost at war.
Maddie (SMS)
The little girl in the blue dress is behind army men. Most likely she is a symbol for something. Maybe she is standing for a peace sign such as what a white flag does. She is wearing ballet slippers, so she could also be performing a show for the public to see. One more thought, she could just be going to work with her dad.
Trevor (SMS)
In this picture, I think that the armed men in green suits are soldiers that have just came back from a past war. I think that they are walking together to once again reunite with thier families after a war. I think that because the little girl in the blue dress in holding the soldiers hand as they walk together. Another thought I have is that the soldiers after war on there way back home stoped by to see the girl dance because she is wearing a dress with her dancing shoes.
ellie (sms)
I think that the soldiers are coming back home from a war or from training camp. He might have been gone awhile, so she decided to dress nice for when she saw him again. It looks like the little girl knew that her father was coming home. They are all walking together in a line, so it could be a parade or a ceremony to honor all of the soldiers that fought.
addyson (sms)
I think these soldiers are returning from war. The little girl is wearing a blue puffy dress with ballet slippers. She is holding hands with this man in the back which he might be related to her like be her father. I think the little girl is happy because her dad is back. It also could be a parade or tribute to the soldiers.
Carter Anderson (Fort Dodge, Iowa)
I think that a child got separated from her parents, and the soldiers have to take her home. And I think that the kid is very sad and that the soldiers are just doing their job.
Evelyn Ortega (SMS)
These people seem to be soldiers. The men are wearing black boots, uniforms, helmets, and some are holding guns. One of them is walking a little girl, who looks to be about five years old. The girl is wearing a light blue dress, ballet shoes, and she has her hair up. Therefore, I think there will be a ceremony or a festival for the soldiers.
Payton (SMS)
I think the man holding the little girl's hand is either her dad or brother. He may be coming home from war. I think they were in a war of some type because they are wearing army green, they have guns, and they have hard hats on. The little girl must have known that her father or brother was coming home because she is dressed up which can indicate she hasn't seen him in a while due to war.
Samuel (SMS VA USA)
I think the people in the front of the picture are in the end of their teens because they are all shorter than the commander by like a foot. The girl in the princess outfit is probably the commander's daughter or granddaughter. The man holding the girls hand is most likely an army commander because he is the only one without a helmet. The what I called teens, are probably doing a war recital.
Andrew S. (CMS)
They are marching in the band
trey. (sms)
The picture looks like these men are soldiers. They also look like they are coming back from battle. On one of the men, you can see a gun sticking out. The little girl appears to be the guy´s daughter. This could also be some sort of halloween parade.
cheyenne (sms)
In this picture, it appears that the men are returning home after a war. The litte girl knew they were coming and went to meet her dad to walk with him. It looks like they are walking in a parade to celerbrate winning the war. The men are still wearing the clothes from the war, and the little girl put on a nice dress.
Devon A.M (C.M.S)
it's most likely somthing with vetreans day fr tho they whouldnt be takeing a little gir to war or sumthing
Mia (SMS)
It appears that the men are soldiers that are coming back home or leaving for war. The little girl with the blue dress is either seeing her father or maybe her brother off or welcoming him home. There seems like there are no other kids with their parents. Maybe she is inseparable from her father so they let her walk with him.
Dru Ayala (Fort Dodge, Iowa)
I think it Halloween and going to get some candy for the girl
Drayton Miller (Noneya)
I beleive that the little girl is walking with her dad that is about to be deployed

I think the girl is the son of a soldier and is leading her back home
Elizabeth (FDMS)
I think it is soilders walking coming from or going to war the little girl probaly needs help or it"s her dad and he dropping her off but it seems like a parade for victory or coming home. the girl seems she was in a play or dance.I think it is soldiers walking coming from or going to war the little girl probably needs help or it"s her dad and he dropping her off but it seems like a parade for victory or coming home. the girl seems she was in a play or dance.

Kristina Hantke (Innsbruck)
I think these men are soldiers that are returning from war to their homes. This little girl with brown hair and blue dress knew her father comes back today so she went to meet him. Then he took her hand and went together with other soldiers through the city until they got home.

Mike (NY)
Mr. Grady's International Relations and Current Events class thinks that maybe this is a little girl saying goodbye to her father as he goes off to war. Maybe it is from the Yugoslavia conflict in the Balkans back in the day?
Dari (Iowa)
It looks like the tall one is the leader or at least with them because of his clothing, and I think he is walking the little girl, his daughter, to a dance or something formal.
Daniela (Fort Dodge)
I think it may be a parade or a tribute to soldiers.
Eliseo's 6-8th gr Photo Class (Brooklyn Heights Montessori School)
We think this might be a costumed walk (sort of like Halloween) or they might be in some sort of production. Because the child in the dress seems so different than the seeming military people in their garb, this may be a performance of some sort. The child seems to have ballet slippers which adds to the feeling of performance. We also thought that this could be the child of one of the soldiers or could be an emergency rescue of some sort.
Lukas Holzer (Austria)
I think in this picture there is a military parade and the leader of the them (the man with the grey hair) took the hand of girl who was looking for his mother. She is a ballerina and just danced at a show while her mother was watching her. Now the girl can't find her anymore. The soldier just took her hand said, "You're gonna get lost in this big parade little girl!"
Dominiq (sms)
The solders are walking across the street and the commander is hold the little girls hand. My guess is that he is the dad of the little . He seems to be the leader of the platoon. They are walking across the empty street so I guess the military people stop them from going.
Bradley (sms)
What I think is going on in this picture, is this soldier and his daughter are taking a walk to somewhere or she has something she was late for so her dad had to take her. He could be showing her things about a soldier. One thing I can see is the girl has a dress on so she might be doing like dance class.
Scarlett A (Virginia)
In this picture I believe that these are soldiers, and they are walking to work. One of them seems to be a father walking his daughter to school, or to ballet class as he is walking by to work. Or, a soldier saw a a girl and she was lost and he's trying to help the little girl.
Keaton (Burns)
I think, that this little girl is going to ballet practice and she doesn't have a mom so her dad that is in the army is taking her and is also doing his job. Its kinda scary because if something happens what is she going to do. That is what I think is going on in this picture.
violetta (SMS)
I think that these are solder. They are marching around the streets. Also the little girl, she is walking with her dad. She is walking with him because her dad did not want to leave her home alone. So the dad said ¨you are not staying home alone you are coming with me¨.
Austin (SMS)
The little girl with the dress is about 6-7 years old. She is holding a mans hand walking across the road. It looks like she is going to ballet practice.The men are in the military. The army men have guns,but the man without a helmet doesn't.He does have a sword on his side.
Osvaldo (sms)
It appers that there are 13 men and only one child. The little girl appears to be holding one of the mens hand. While almost all the men have helmelts, but he does not. They could be marching against something that is happening. All the men have guns with them. Also they have millitary uniforms . This could mean that he proboly is going to war. Or it could just be that the little girl is going to ballay practice. I think that because the little girl is wearing her ballay slippers. She may not have a mom due, because something happend that we do not know about. Maybye thats the reson that he dad is taking her insted.
Thomas (Space)
@Osvaldo I agree with your idea
Paradice (SMS)
The little girl is on her way to ballet, because she has to either practice or perform a dance with her class. Maybe she is being Cinderella for a play. Whoever her family member is he looks like he's in the military, because he is wearing the same clothes as the other men. The men in front of the little girl and whoever is walking with her look like they are in the army, because they have guns hanging around them.
Julia (SMS)
I beileve in this picture there are soldiers marching with kids. I think maybe they are practicing and the dude in the back is holding that childs hand because she's his daughter. Most of the soilders are wearing helments. All of them are wearing these coats that look ike they might be rain coats. It looks pretty hot outside so maybe its summer time.
Isabella (SMS)
What I think is going on in this picture is, I think that the little girl with the blue dress on and hair in a bun, is walking with her dad or uncle because her dad/uncle may or may not be in the army and the girl does not want him to go, so she is walking with him with her ballet costume on. Since they are walking so close together and holding hands I can tell that they are somehow related.
Christopher (Cincinnati.Ohio)
In this picture,I beieve soldiers are marching with kids and some people are wearing helmets because they chose to.In the picture you can see a girl walking with a guy who could be her dad or someone that rescued her.This could mean the girl was lost or it could be the guy didn't want to leave her daughter or the girl.Also in the picture in the background their is empty streets.This could mean some sort of parade could happen where they need empty streets.In the picture it also appears some people have guns and some don't.This could mean it could be like a parade and nothing serious because then everyone will have guns.
Lane (Ohio)
In this picture it appears that there is a little girl who parent(s) have died in a war.One reason I know this is because they have military uniforms witch shows that they are from the military . A second piece of evidence is one soldier is closely next to her . That proves they are some how in relation to her. Such as a parents friend. My final piece of evidence is they are serious looking and isn’t acting churlishly . That can mean they are showing respect.
Sage Palmer (Pennsylvania)
As far as I can tell, the only girl in the picture has neatly done hair, white tights, a fancy dress and what look to be something like ballet shoes. So, with my inferences, I think the young girl is a ballerina or something with the art of dance. But as for the others, I don't know, maybe it is Halloween and they are dressed up as soldiers along with the other girl? Or maybe the tallest soldier is the young girls dad?
Kalynn (Cincinnati (OH))
In this picture, I believe that her dad in the military passed recently and his friends are taking his daughter trick or treating. When the girl was wearing the big blue dress, this shows that It could be the little girls Halloween costume. The men with the guns and in army green can symbolize that there affiliated with the army. The one singular little girl shows that she was special and different in some way. All this evidence ties together the idea that her dad in the military passed recently and his friends are taking his daughter trick or treating.

I think it's a class from an all boys school trick or treating. And the teacher brought his daughter.I think this because they are all matching.When they match they could be a class staying together.I also noticed that there was a tall guy holding a little girl's hand.I think this means that he could be her dad.
LLCE (France)
We can see a group of soldiers wearing their uniform and carrying riffles. They are crossing an empty street, maybe to attend a ceremony. In addition, there is a young girl who is holding the hand of a soldier. She is wearing what looks like a princess or ballerina outfit, as well as braids with a bun. The soldier could be her father. Maybe she is on her way to school. Or the soldiers are watcging over the girl. The girl may be someone important (such as from a royal family).
Hassan Alabbad (Rais Dammam)
There are soldiers moving on the street with a little girl that is wearing a dress. What makes me say that they are soldiers is that they are wearing helmets and camo coloured clothing. I can also find that some are carrying guns.
Ty Sayahi (goof)
This is parade of Moldovan Army soldiers to march on the anniversary of European independence
j (Boston)
I think that the little girl got lost from her parents and that the soldier in the back is going to take her to a police station to help her find her parnets. i think he is holding her hand so she feels safe and not lost.
3°6 Romain Rolland (Ivry-sur-Seine, France)
There are soldiers. There is a little girl wearing a blue dress. They are walking. A soldier is holding the little girl's hand. The photo reminds me of war. Maybe the little girl is the soldier's daughter. Perhaps they are walking the little girl to school to protect her.
Ava (Cincinnati, Ohio)
I think men in the army are protecting a girl that has run away from her dance recital. The girl has on a blue dress, tights, and ballet shoes. The girl is also holding a mans hand which could show that he is making sure she doesn’t leave. Some of the men have guns in their hands so they can protect her.
Madelon (Cincinnati,Ohio)
@Ava This is a very possible statement i really liked it
Hasan Maskeen (Saihat)
I can see a group of soldiers with a man at the back holding a small girl with a blue dress. I think she is his daughter. The group of soldiers are going to a special military event.I think this can be soldiers who have dressed in uniform and are walking either to a ceremony or monument to pay respect and remember those who fought.
Ava (Cincinnati, Ohio)
@Hasan Maskeen i agree with your statement
Faisal (RAIS Dammam)
I think whats going on in this picture is that there is a group of soldiers and one of them has his daughter. they father might go with the soldiers to train so he will not see her for a long time or maybe he is just showing her how he works saving the city or country.
Reda Al Morohen (RAIS)
In this picture, I see a group of youth soldiers who might be going for duty. The tallest soldier at the back is possibly their general, since he is not wearing the same uniform the rest are wearing. He's holding a little girl's hand in a princess dress. Yet, I don't think that the little girl is his daughter, He is just helping her from passing the road alone. Because they look physically different, his hair is blonde, while her hair is dark brownish.
Ava (Cincinnati, Ohio)
@Reda Al Morohen That is a great observation and I agree
Eden Ogle (SKHS)
i believe this could be a group of military soldiers and one has his daughter with her. they might be going to someplace soldiers go i dont know but the girl might not be wanting to see her dad go and this is there goodbye for that time. not really sure
Ava (Cincinnati, Ohio)
@Eden Ogle I agree with you.
Ronan W (Skhs)
There are 10 people who look to be men in some sort of military all lined up walking down a street the last man in the is escorting a little girl in a blue dress I believe they are part of the military because they are all wearing olive green jackets and seven out of ten of the men are wearing helmets some are also carrying guns. the little girl seems to be dressed up as if she is a dancer.
Kalynn (Cincinnati (OH))
@Ronan W I agree with your claim
carmenp (skhs yo)
It looks like some kind of march or maybe Halloween. I see people with guns and weird out fits. the girl is the only one with a dress on but she is also the only girl. She looks like she's about five and she stands out because of what she's wearing.
Mr. Moy (Cicero)
A young girl, in a blue dress, walks her father as he is being deployed to war. I see men wearing green helmets, ponchos, and boots.
Michael (Cicero)
I think the soldiers from the us army and the Little girl is sad Maybe because the dad is going to war
3rd Period Room 11 ELA (Belmont CA)
1) There's a group of kids wearing army costumes. Maybe the kids are going trick-or-treating. They are walking over to another house. The little girl was supposed to be in army costume as well, but she rebelled. 2) A young girl is holding hands with (probably) her father. The little girl is in a ballet costume based on her shoes and her tights. She looks happy because of the way she's holding her dress (maybe she's skipping?) and the position of her feet. 3) The military group is heading to their base or a new base. There is a girl with them, because she doesn't want her father to go. They may also be ready to enter a plane, because it looks like they're walking on a runway.
ignacio (america)
soldiers marching, armed. one of the soldiers has his little girl with him. they are going to war
carmenp (skhs yo)
@ignacio I could agree with that lol
jekari jenkins (CIncinnati Ohio ms.enderle's room 111)
A group of friends with rifles dressed up. I believe it's cosplay. They look like an army of friends going to a Halloween party. The little girl is wearing something different. The friends are matching also.
Hussain Al Saif (K.S.A, RAIS)
This picture describes the tragedy of conscription. Where in some countries and sometimes organizations force people to enter their army or become soldiers for them, and sometimes fool even young innocent children who have nothing to do with it. The soldiers walking in front look too young to be in the military, and what looks like the general is walking behind after he recruited or took a young girl with them. The streets look well-made and the trees organized, meaning that the city is civilized and in good shape.
jekari jenkins (CIncinnati Ohio ms.enderle's room 111)
A group of friends with rifles dressed up. I believe it's cosplay. They look like a army of friends going to a Halloween party. The little girl is wearing something different. The friends are matching also.
Isaiah F. (SKHS)
There is a little girl in a blue dress with braided hair following people dressed as soldiers. They might be going trick or treating and they are dressed up like that because it is halloween
Valeria (México)
In this photo there is a group of men that are dressed in army uniforms and a girl dressed like a princess, walking in the street. The oldest men of the group is holding the girl hand. I think that they're going to ask for trick or treat.
Jovanna (Mexico)
What I think is going on this picture is that some army soldiers are going to a meal in the captain´s house after work and I think the tallest man in the picture is the captain and he brought her daughter to work so now he is taking her back to their house. I also see that the girl is wearing a blue dress so maybe she decided to go with a costume.
Isaiah F. (SKHS)
@Jovanna It is possible that they are actual soldiers.
Michellle (Mexico)
I think that its a group of soldiers who were walking somewhere and a little girl needed help to cross the street and this guy offered himself to help her go to the other side of the street . I also can see a rifle so its not a costume
Adele (Boston)
@Michellle I agree, I think that the little girl needed some sort of help and the soldier just happened to be their to help her. And I also agree that the soldiers aren’t in costume because the rifle looks real
Anas Alqarni (KSA)
What I see is a group of men wearing soldiers uniform and that man that is holding his daughters hand that maybe shows that they are maybe in a Halloween. What did let me say that is that’s these group of men are not heading to fight or a war cause of the girl that’s holding her dad hand.
Alessandra (México)
What's going on in this picture is that there are several men who seem to be wearing a militar uniform. One of them is holding the hand a cute little ballerina who seems to be confortable with the militar I'm able to say that the men in the picture are militaries because of their uniforms and of the rifles. And because of the amount of militaries I think they had just completed a special mission with the girl. But the other option is that they are going to a party. However, it is hard to say.
Daniela (Mexico)
There is a group of men wearing army clothes and in the back there is an adult with a little girl by her side which i think is her daughter, they go to a militar school i think they might be of a young age because of the hight and the men in the back is the one in charge of them
Brayden (Cincinnati,OH)
They are walking the girl to her dad or moms funaral becuase they died in battle.
Miriam (Mexico)
In this picture you can see a group of soldiers that are coming from a war and one of them rescued a girl and make her his father so he buy her clothes and he is taking her to the militar base.
Pawan (Cincinnati, Ohio)
So in this picture a group of men went to a Halloween party wearing the same costumes, The first piece of evidence is the fact that there is a massive group of men walking down the STREET wearing the same thing with varing differences, Evidence number 2 The little girl shes not hurt like if she was a in a battle field and shes wearing a blue dress. Last piece of evidence is the fact that the bushes are not dead like in a battle field and the streets are not damaged.
Fatima (Mexico)
I think the men that are crossing the road are soldiers from the army because they have like the boots and the colors of the suits soldiers use. Also I think that the girl came to visit her dad and that she wanted to go to work with him.
Stephy (Mexico)
What is going on in this picture is that there is a group of men with militar uniform walking towards something like they were preparing for war. And I also see a little girl that is holding hands with one of the soldiers and it seems her dad.
Michelle (Mexico)
In this picture what is happening is that boys are going to summer camp and their coach has a daughter who likes to go to work with him, it makes me say that because the girl is grabbing the hand to the oldest man. I can also see that they do not have any kind of weapons and that the sun is shunning so they could be sweating.
maria (mexico)
In this picture you can see that there is a group of soldiers who are walking in the streets and one has a little girl holding hands and in that country there will be war and they found the girl alone and lost in the street and they are trying to protect her before something bad happens to the girl and i also see that the soldiers
Bader aljishi (Dammam, Saudi Arabia)
In the picture you can see men wearing dark green uniforms with helmets. In the army there are always two men walking next two each other. In the very back there is one man walking with a little girl in a princess dress. They are walking on a street. Maybe the old veterans were walking to there old training site. I think this picture was taken on last year's Veterans Day because the men are dressed in uniforms that look like the ones worn in the First World War. I think all those men are veterans and the little girl is probably the daughter of the man in the back or one of the other veterans .
ALEJANDRA (SEREÑI)
I can see a girl, who i asume is the daughter of the man shes with. The man is dressed as the army. They are both holding hands, and are walking with other people that are dressed as the army too. I think the girl is going to leave his dad in the train station were he is leaving to go to war.
Pedro (Indiana)
In this picture i see that they’re are soldiers walking in the street and a soldier holding his daughter’s,sister’s or cousin’s hand. I think they are soldiers because the things there wearing and they have guns, and I think that’s the guys daughter because why would a random stranger be holding a little girls hand?
Meshall A (RAIS Dammam)
In this photo there is a group of men that are dressed in older green army uniforms walking down a street. The man at the back is accompanied by a little girl who is holding his hand. This can’t be a group of soldiers heading into battle as there is the little girl with them. As Remembrance Day is coming up soon, I think this can be soldiers who have dressed in uniform and are walking either to a ceremony or monument to pay respect and remember those who fought.
Michellle (Mexico)
@Meshall A i agree with you , i don't agree with you totally because i can see that someone is holding a gun
Stephy (Mexico)
@Meshall A I agree with you because I also think that they are soldiers walking towards an event or a ceremony and what I'm realizing right now is that maybe the men who is holding hands with the girl is the coronel or the superior.
Jovanna (Mexico)
@Meshall A I agree with you that maybe they are going to a monument in which they can honor and respect for those who fought and died protecting the country. The part that you said of the little girl it makes complete sense to me.
Neele (Indiana)
In the picture you can see men wearing dark green uniforms with helmets. There are always two men walking next two each other. In the very back there is one man walking with a little girl in a princess dress. They are walking on a street. I think this picture was taken on Veterans Day because the men are dressed in uniforms that look like the ones worn in the First World War. I think all those men are veterans and the little girl is probably the daughter of the man in the back. I could imagine it is a kind of Veterans Day parade at a school.
Madelon (Cincinnati,Ohio)
@Neele That is a really good statement with good points
Ameer Al-Ali (dammam)
I think that the kids dressed as soldiers are going trick or treating with someone older like their father or brother, and the girl is just tagging along. but I think that the kid soldiers is a metaphor for soldiers in ww1 who risked their life when they were 17 or 18 for a war they didn't know anything about and their marching along with pride and a sense of nationalism in their hearts. and I think that the children are wearing helmets means that they do not know whats going on in the world but the commanding soldier behind knows. and the girl is left behind and undermined because of society
Bader aljishi (Dammam, Saudi Arabia)
@Ameer Al-Ali I think that what you are saying is right. That might be what is actually happening.
Valeria (México)
@Ameer Al-Ali I agree with your opinion because this photo seem that was took in Halloween, because of the costumes that they're wearing. I also agree about the army uniforms that they were from WW1 because I made a research about that and this was the type of uniforms that they used during WW1
Parker (Brookline MA)
In my opinion, I think this is a parade and it takes place in modern times. The photo is in color and the paved road and sidewalks look modern.
maria (mexico)
@Parker i dont agree with you because the soldiers are very armed and for a parade they would not carry guns and they are the only ones crossing the street and no one else is parading
traci (lowell, ma)
@maria I agree with your conclusion. This is not a parade.
Martin (Alexandria, IN)
I think it is a Veterans-day parade. I think so because you told us it would be something regarding Veterans Day and I know there are parades like that all over the US. I think they’re trying to look like WW1 soldiers, because of the helmets and the coats they wear. After reverse image searching the picture I found it on Iranian newspaper articles and in an LA post article.
Mara (Indiana)
In the picture you can see 14 men and one little girl. The 14 men are wearing a uniform. The uniform is green and brown. They are wearing a helmet in green and have a green cape. Their pants are in a light brown and they are wearing boots. Around their shoulders they are having guns. It looks like the uniforms of a soldier but not from nowadays more from WWI. The little girl is wearing a light blue princess dress and has her hair nicely done with braids in a bun. Her shoes are pink. I think this picture shows a parade on Veterans Day and the people are trying to dress like soldiers from WWI. The Veterans Day is for honoring the people who were and are serving in the military and in honor to do so, they are dressing up like this and showing their respect.
B.M (School)
I believe the little girl in the picture is the daughter of one of the Soldiers in a Halloween parade.
Michelle (Mexico)
@B.M I agree with you because I actually do not see any kind of weapons and also the girl looks very happy with her dad which I think it's the man without a helmet.
Daniela (Mexico)
@B.M I do not think its a halloween parade because they have guns and its like a big group with guns so i dont think they would carry guns for a costume.
Anna (Austria)
I think that this picture shows a football or basketball team that decided to dress up as soldiers for Halloween to go 'trick or treat' with the one man's little daughter, because she really wanted to go with the team mates of her dad and they all like her very much, so they did her the favor. How cute is that!! :)
Pamela alex (Indiana)
I think its a festival and they invited some people who retire the military and they were allowed to bring their child or a family member
P.c (Alexandria IN)
In this picture I believe there going to a Halloween party because there’s a group of guys dressed up as soldiers and theirs a little girl dress as a princess because she has a blue dress. I think she is the daughter of one of the man dressed as a soldier because she’s holding his hand.
Pedro (Indiana)
@P.c I disagree because why would all the man be wearing the same thing
Hashem Alismail (RAIS Dammam)
I think that they are celebrating Halloween or heading to present a show. The soldier without a helmet would be the girls father or older brother and commander of the other soldiers. The image shows how when a person is a young child he is covered from the true reality of this cruel world. That child is represented by the innocent girl dressed as a little princess. Children are only shown the light of the world to give them a bright figure of where they are, but this starts to change as the age on and get exposed to the harsh conditions and dark side. That gives them a more serious opinion on where they are standing and so they live through their lives solemnly. That is represented by the men dressed as soldiers that have the best point of view of how bad people could be in wars.
Mohammed Dbyan (Saudi)
Some soldiers are possibly going to train or something like that. Then there is the leader standing at the back of all of them holding hands with a young girl that I assume is his daughter. I see that there are not a lot of soldiers so that’s why I think they may go to train. I can also notice that the leader is not holding a gun because he doesn’t want to scare the little girl.
P.c (Alexandria IN)
@Mohammed Dbyan I think that your prediction it can be really realistic but In my point of view I believe there going to a Halloween party because there’s a group of guys dressed up as soldiers and theirs a little girl dress as a princess because she has a blue dress. I think she is the daughter of one of the man dressed as a soldier because she’s holding his hand.
Khaled ali (Dammam, saudi)
I see a group of people maybe a gang who all look the same but there’s an odd one out the girl wearing a princess costume so I think maybe the little girl is leading this group of people somewhere and something else I see is all of the men are wearing hats/ helmets except the one holding her hand.
ALEJANDRA (SEREÑI)
@Khaled ali I don't see it that way. In my opinion, i think they are leaving to go to war and the little girl is accompanying his dad, who is part of the army, to the train station to say good bye
Naida Ghozalba (United States)
I believe this is happening because they want to go to the parade, so there are a lot of men who wear soldier costumes, and the man at the back takes care of a little girl, maybe she is his child.
Ethan D (SKHS)
@Naida Ghozalba I didn't think of it from that point of view! That would explain why the little girl seems to be dressed up, Although Im curious what sort of group this might be. Any idea's on the parade?
Menhal Manasif (Saudi arabia)
I see a group of soldiers thats going to get ready to go to fight and there is a soldier who is holding his daughter to say one more goodbye before he goes to war because he might not see her again.
Mahdi Alismail (Dammam, Saudi Arabia)
This picture probably taken during Halloween or during a simple demonstration around the same time. I believe that this picture is a representation of how when we are children at young age we simply follow our parental figures or role models into the dangerous reality of the real world. The little girl in the picture wears what looks to be a Cinderella dress. Her role is to embody our childhood fantasies as we are unknowingly thrown into the madness of the world. This madness is symbolized by the people dressed in what looks to be soldier costumes and march together to their destination. The photo really points to being taken during Halloween, however its day time in the photo. This decision was most likely made because at night the scene of the photo wouldn't be as easily seen and the message couldn't be perceived as well.
Faris Al Habib (RAIS Dammam)
I see a group of young soldiers that are going to have a training session, or even present a show; this is being supervised by their general. The general appears to be bringing his daughter to the event. The man behind looking taller than the rest and wearing a different outfit hints onto him being the general.
Kalynn (Cincinnati (OH))
@Faris Al Habib I agree with your statemt.
Rayan (ALmotawa)
In my first view, I can see a group of soldiers with a man at the back holding a small girl with a blue dress. I think the she is his daughter. The group of soldiers are going to a special military event. On my second view, I think they are a group of people dressed up in costumes with a small girl with a blue dress. And a man holding his daughter which is also dressed up in a costume, wearing blue dress. The group of people are going for Halloween or an Halloween party or event. That is all what I have,Nothing more to say. Thank you.
Sandya (Ohio)
In this picture, I believe they are dressed up in costumes fro Halloween and are going trick-or-treating. In the picture there is a little girl in a blue princess dress and other people in a army costume. This means they are dressed up for Halloween. The people are walking somewhere. This proves they're going house to house, trick-or-treating. There is a man holding the girl's hand. This proves that the man is taking her trick-or-treating.
Ali Al-Sadah (Rais Dammam)
The picture shows a little girl wearing a blue dress crossing the street with a battalion of fake dress up soldiers. I say this because I am taking the picture literally, perhaps the group was returning from a convention or party of some sort, which would explain the choice of clothing. I can also see that these people are crossing a street, but other than that, I can't make any assumptions about the picture.
>_> (ohio)
I think that they are army men walking in a parade and that little girl the back wanted to join in with them.
Kyle (ohio)
i think there Russians training an army
Aidan W (CMS)
@Kyle nice thinking man.
Andrea (Mexico)
I think this is a parade of a festivity, they are dressed as soldiers and the little girl decided to go with his Dad dressed as a princess. I think they are in a parade because they are walking in order and the little girl is with his father because they are holding hands. Also I see that they are on their way to the parade, because there is nobody watching them.
Andrea (México)
I see a lot of people dressed as soldiers and one of them is taking care of a little girl who is dressed as a princess maybe she is the daughter. I think the reason they are dressed like this is because they are attending a parade.
Neele (Indiana)
@Andrea I agree with you.I also think the little girl in the back is his daughter but I would add that it might be a parade for Veterans Day.
Ana Ireri (México)
I think it is like a victory parade, a parade in which men who survived a war walk over the street to commemorate their victory. And the girl refused to leave her dad's side because she doesn't want him to be alone, and also because she is proud of their victory to. I think so because the man is wearing an army uniform and there are other men dressed like that to, and because it seems to peaceful to be at war. I also can find that the girl likes ballet because of her dress, hairstyle and her slippers.
Isabel (Mexico)
@Ana Ireri I think that your prediction is really realistic, and you have great ideas.
Isabel (Mexico)
In this picture there is a little girl holding the hand of a guy that is in the military. In front of them there is a group of soldiers. I see that the soldiers are wearing the military helmets and they also have guns. I can find that the little girl is dressed up, so they're probably going to an important event.
Cecilia (México)
This picture shows a parade, where soldiers are walking down the street to show the people that they are not in times of war anymore; you can also see a little girl probably with her dad. The little girl is probably there because no one could take care of her that day. You can also see how the little girl is wearing ballet shoes so she's probably just getting out of her ballet class.
Pamela alex (Indiana)
@Cecilia I also agree with what you are saying because the person have some suits on and the have weapons and well that makes me think that there are having a parade
Natalia (Mexico)
I see a group of soldiers wearing helmets .The last man is not wearing a helmet and looks like he is holding the hand of a little girls. I think the little girl might be the soldiers daughter and the soldiers might be doing a parade because the sky and the street look to be clear and calm I can also see that the girl is wearing a blue dress so they may be going to an event after
ivanna (mexico)
In this picture I can see an army of men with guns they costume is boots and a helmet there is a little kid walking through with them I think it may be a parade were everyone is wearing a costume , i can also see they are just walking in the street.
Alessandra (México)
@ivanna I wouldn't have imagined that until now you are mentioning this idea. Because of the relaxed pose of the little girl I think your idea is really valid and viable.
Fernanda (mexico)
The men, all in full military attire with capes and helmets, are all carrying various weapons. I would say there is no violence or danger going on because they are not in a uniform line and there is a little girl with her ballet recital clothes on. Possibly a parade or a military practice.
Adriana (Mexico)
In this picture I think that there are in a military place, i think they are walking to go somewhere. I think this because all of the mens are walking with military clothes. And also the little girl I think is daughter from the men she's holding hands with.
Maria (Mexico)
In this picture I think is a military parade and the last guy is holding her daughters hand, I think he is her dad because she looks really comfortable holding her hand, the little girl has ballet shoes on so she probably dances.
Maria (Mexico)
In this picture I think is a military parade and the guy that is holding the girl might be her dad, I think that she is his daughter because she look really comfortable holding his hand and walking by his side, it looks like the girl has ballet shoes so she probably dances.
Maria (mexico)
In this picture looks like if there was a military parade like the ones that are in the country's independence day and all the army is parading with the little girl in blue dress.I can say that because they are a lot of people from the army lined up crossing the street.
Valeria (México)
I see many soldiers wearing helmets, and dressed in green, but the one in the back isn't wearing a helmet and I think he's with his daughter that must have like 6 years and she's wearing a blue dress and some ballerina shoes. I think it's a parade.
Andrea (Mexico)
In this picture there are soldiers in a line, and at the end there is a man holding a little's girl hand, he might be his daughter because they're holding hands. The father of the girl must be the leader or something since he is the only one not wearing a helmet.
Miss Lindrose's 5th Grade Blue Group (Johnstown, PA)
In the photograph there are a group of people in uniform walking across the street with a little girl. We think that the leader is the tallest man in the back and the little girl is his daughter. She is wearing a dress and ballet shoes that are worn. The girl may be coming from a recital or she is dressed up for a special event. In the background we can also see a lot of bushes and poles which we believe has a flag on it based on the shadow seen on the road. Within the group of people in the uniforms, we see them carrying guns and swords. We think they may be doing a 21 salute memorial. We know they are not going into battle because the little girl is a civilian and not everyone is dressed for battle as some are missing hard hats. It is a more recent event due to the fact that the photo is in color, the girl is wearing a beautiful dress that has better quality than in the past and there are paved roads with white lines on them. This road does not look busy as we do not see any cars or people walking around.
Lilly (MPLS)
I think it is a commemoration of either Vietnam or Korean Wars. I think they are veterans walking in some sort of parade and the girl is someone's grandchild or something. Because even though the people in front are shorter they still look elderly to me. I found that there might also be a second child in the front
Colette Mayhew (Orono High School)
1. The kids with the one adult are marching to a memorial dressed as soldiers to remember our countries lost soldiers. I say this because everyone except for the little girl are dressed in informal military uniforms. There are two flag poles in the background which signifies a place of importance in front of them. The little girl is the tall man's daughter.
Maddie (Orono)
I think that it is a group of kids in halloween costumes and the adult is one of the kids fathers or a teacher and the little girl is his daughter who they are bringing with. The boys and father are dressed up in army/soldier costumes and the little girl is in a light blue dress maybe dressed up as cinderella. I believe this because the little girls makes me think that it may not be an actual military force. It looks like it is day time though which is not particularly trick or treating time, and I see flag poles in the background, so maybe they are going to school.
ENG1L/2L (STCHS)
Most of the people in the picture look like they are in the military. We noticed the uniform, which includes helmets, except one who wears a wedge (cap), the rifle, the sword/sabre (sticking out of the bottom of one man's coat). We noticed they all seem to be wearing rain gear, although it doesn't appear to be raining, and the girl is not wearing similar gear. We noticed the last man in the formation, without a helmet or cap, seems taller than the rest, and we wondered if the others dressed in military clothing were younger cadets. We were curious why the military people were wearing rain coats. We wondered if they were heading to a ceremony, possibly to remember veterans. We noticed the young girl was wearing dance shoes, and perhaps she is doing a performance at the ceremony. Her dress seems to fit the idea that she may be a dancer.
Devin H (Orono, MN)
I think it is possibly a parade or a protest. The little girl dressed in that outfit suggests a less serious situation. The soldiers do, however, have guns so that may contradict this stance. The people seem to be marching across the street in pairs, there is also one shorter person in the front right of the line, possibly another child.
Kyle S (OHS)
I see a group of kids trick or treating with the dad in the back holding onto his little daughter. What makes me think this is the girl that is dressed up in the in the dress. If she wasn't there I wouldn't think it is Halloween but that gives me the hint that it is. Also, the people are all dressed up as soldiers, which doesn't seem normal for a regular day.
Reiley P (OHS)
I see two lines of people dressed as soldiers. The one in the back is probably the dad, or close relative, of the little girl because they are holding hands. They don't look in much of a hurry and there seems to be one adult present, which makes me think they are part of some sort of parade?
Dani P (orono high school)
I think these soldiers are going to North Korea to bring peace. The little girl symbolizes innocence and the soldiers seem to be in line protecting her. Also the street seems to be very silent. Under the guy holding the girl, there seems to be a sword sticking out.
Maria (Mexico)
@Dani P Great supposition! :)
Andrea (Mexico)
@Dani P That is a good idea, I would have never thought that.
Gavin (Minnesota)
I see a group of Korean war reenactors and in the back is a father with his daughter dressed up as a ballerina, for a reason I don't know. This also looks like it takes place in America because of the design of the uniforms and the layout of the street, it's a four-way intersection and not a round-about as it may be in Europe.
Georgia Beutler (Minnesota)
I think this is a parade of children dressed up as soldiers for a parade, possibly for haloween? They are walking in the middle of the road and one is looking over at something. They are accompanied by adults as well, these could be real soldiers or veterans that are walking with them. I think this because I can see one really tall man in the back of the line and then what looks like a few older men in the mix of children. I believe it takes place somewhere in Northern America or Europe because of the greenery in the back, it looks like there is a pine tree. The children are also carrying fake guns, but because none of them are in uniform or marching in a distinct order I do not think they are real soldiers.
Ali Z (RAIS Dammam)
I see people dressed up as soldiers walking or marching forward, and at the end, there is a girl possibly holding her dads hand. These people might be dressed up for Halloween and are all going together, or it might be some sort of parade or even a protest.
Ahmed Jaroudi (Saudi Arabia)
This picture was most likely either taken on veteran's day or Halloween. The person who's holding the little girl's hand might be her dad. It might have been a charade, or maybe it was just a cute little gimmick they wanted to show off. You can see their shadows intertwining together and I think that says a lot about society, since people look up to grown ups and take after the traits they show.
grace (Minnesota)
I think that it's a group of soldiers possibly either about to go to war or recently returned because they seem to be dressed up as soldiers but there is also a little girl with them and they aren't marching which makes me think that they aren't actually at war at the moment. They look like they are crossing the street but the area doesn't seem to be busy with no other visible cars or people. The roads look similar to those in the United States and there appears to be two flag poles in the background and also a pine tree. Several of the men appear to be holding guns and the tall man seems to have a sword or something. He is a lot taller than the other men so maybe the shorter ones are younger?
Naomi (...)
To me it looks like a boy scout troop doing a reenactment of some sort. The people in front are much shorter than the man in the back so they could be much younger. The man in the back is taller and could be the leader. The little girl could be a sister to those in front or a daughter of the man in the back.
Jack (Minnesota)
Given the fact that the soldier holding the little girl's hand is much larger than everyone else, it's safe to assume that he is the only adult in the photo. All the people in front seem to be middle-high schoolers and the girl in the dress is between 6-8. With the sun being out, the picture as taken during the day. The little girl should be in school but excused for some reason, most likely Veterans day. With the uniformity and conformity present in the picture, the organized lines could represent the military.
Charlie (OHS)
It's Halloween. Kids are dressed up like ewoks from Star Wars VI, and the adult is Luke Skywalker. The uniforms look like those from the Star Wars movie. The little girl is dressed as a princess because she is really feeling it. It also looks like they are somewhere in the suburbs because there are not buildings in sight.
Ruh (Orono Highschool)
I believe this was at halloween and that explains the girl in the princess outfit and the man holding her hand is most likely the supervisor to the group. That explains why he is not in full costume with a hat or helmet on so he is easily findable to the group.
Meghan (OHS)
I see a line of soldiers. They are likely from Europe or North America because the man in the black is blonde. I think that the girl in the back is the soldier's daughter. This picture is probably not recent because of the style of clothes of both the girl and the soldiers. They might have just returned home from war and are being greeted as they walk down the street. I think that they must be in a parade or something because they are wearing full uniform, but they do not seem tense like they are on duty. They are all walking, not marching. However, the guns make me believe that they are indeed soldiers.
L (OHS)
Not only does the little girl look like she is wearing a costume, but the men in olive too. As this picture was released close to Halloween, this could be just a group of people dressing up. But, it does create a stark juxtaposition (innocent girl and army men) that could be alluding to a deeper meaning. This made me stop and think if they were costumes or if it was real. But, my conclusion remains that Halloween is the cause of this pic.
Yousef Alkhunaizi (RAIS)
What is see is, soldiers or troops running through the streets with what seems to be a young girl in a ballerina dress holding hands with an older man (possibly her father). This makes me think that this is some sort of play or the soldiers are marching through the streets. Because the clean and normal streets indicate that there is not any kind of war happening.
Avalon J (Orono HS)
In this picture, there is a soldier not wearing a helmet, following a group of children dressed up at soldiers- all wearing helmets and holding the hand of a little girl dressed up as a princess. They are all wearing carps as capes or jackets. Some have guns, if they are children, then the guns are probably fake. They all seem to be crossing a road in the middle of the day.
Kilian (Austria)
I see soldiers and a girl holding hands with someone way older and bigger than herself (probably her father). Maybe this is a Halloween parade. I think this is a group of students and the teacher with his daughter. When you look closely it seems like the soldiers with helmets are way smaller than the man with the girl.
Natalia (Mexico)
@Kilian I think your prediction is very realistic and well structured
Josie (Minnesota)
I see a line of soldiers, but not real soldiers, just dressed up like them, marching and the little girl is the daughter of the man in the back. I don't think they are real soldiers because their marching is not together. It seems casual so Im guessing that maybe its a halloween parade and their costume is soldiers, and the little girl just tagged along in her princess dress.
Grace M (....)
I see a little girl who is dressed up like Cinderella. She is being led by a line of soldiers on a street. One is carrying a gun and some of them are wearing tarps. I think that this picture represents a loss of innocence in war that children face and that they are protestors.
B.M (School)
@Grace M Great details, I agree with your statement that the picture might represent a loss of innocence in war, that makes since seeing the little girl with the soldiers.
Miriam (Mexico)
@Grace M I agree with you because it seems that it's representing all the innocent people in wars.
Rachel (MN)
Looks like there is a taller man watching over troops the seem to be shorter than him. It could be that he is the parent on halloween, or he is an authority figure with a daughter. Maybe some sort of protest. the tall man looks like he is wearing a tarp, so could be some form of homemade outfit. The soldiers do not seem to be marching, so could also be a parade.
Mason T (Minnesota)
It looks like kids dressed up Halloween with most as soldiers and the little girl as a princess.
Mara (Indiana)
@Mason T That is a good idea because it really was posted close to Halloween, but there is another Holiday coming up on Monday. It is Veterans Day and I think, that this picture is more about Veterans Day because this day is all about honoring the people who were or are serving. I think that’s why they are all dressed up as soldiers. The little girl might be dressed up like that because she is the daughter of one of these men.
Carolyn C (HKIS)
I see a line of soldiers wearing helmets. One is carrying a gun. The last man is the girl's dad because he's holding her hand. I think they might be protestors in Europe dressed up like soldiers to criticize the government. The man who's holding hands with the girl is her dad.
Cecilia (México)
@Carolyn C I totally agree with you, it could be a protest made against the government.
Icelandhero (No thank you)
I think these are students in costumes and the girl is the daughter of the teacher?
Maria (mexico)
@Icelandhero I don't think so because it looks pretty serious to me, I don't think they are wearing costumes and who knows if the girl is the daughter of the teacher.
Andrea (Mexico)
@Icelandhero It might be, it could also be because of the 31'st of October.
Ana Ireri (México)
@Icelandhero That is a creative assumption!
Marissa J. (SKHS)
This picture shows army men walking down a street with a little girl. Overall, the image captures roughly fifteen males in olive green uniforms. Some are decked in a sturdy helmet in the same color. One of the men in the front reveals his straight blond hair with no helmet. Scattered men in the right background region are wearing a brown cap. They are probably commanders or of a different status than the rest. All of the men have on a dark green cape accompanied by tall black boots. A couple have a wooden rifle slung around their shoulders. This level of conformity is present in the army. Conversely, the little girl is barely half the size of the soldiers in a nice blue dress with her dark brown hair tied in a neat bun. She is holding on to one of the soldiers with her right hand as they proceed down the concrete road. More I can find are the shadows the sun reveals. Due to it being day-time, the girl should most likely be in school. So, it is probably Veteran's Day. The purpose of the walk could be to honor the soldiers. The lush green bushes in the background reveal little about the location or where they are headed. Due to the youthful age of the little girl, they are definitely not about to embark on a dangerous mission. This picture could be modern since it is taken in color. Realistically, it could be anywhere that celebrates Veteran's Day.
Njála Rún Egilsdóttir (Iceland)
So me and my friends are gonna share our thought on this picture.😀 Since the picture is taken on the 31. of October it looks like it is Halloween at the moment the young girl is wearing a princess dress and the men looks like they are wearing military clothes and probably fake guns, they are walking on the street so we think it is a costume. Anyway that is what we think 💭
ivanna (mexico)
@Njála Rún Egilsdóttir oh thats a smart thought I really agree with you they might me wearing costumes and asking treat or treat
Laith (Scorpio)
I think they are soldiers, and one soldier is holding his daughter’s hand. Maybe they’re going to an school assembly
Adriana (Mexico)
@Laith I totally agree with you!
Neihmin (VillaBlanka)
I see a parade on Halloween the 31st of October. A team of baseball players have dressed up as soldiers.
Alexandria Awong (19462)
In the picture, I think that the army force is escorting or protecting the little girl that may be royalty or rich. I think this is a possible scenario because, in the picture I notice that the army men are wearing camouflage, carrying weapons (guns), and also walking second file. I also see a little girl wearing a bright blue dress, with a blue accessory, with brown hair braids in a bun. I think this little girl is maybe royalty or from a rich family because it’s not every day that you get to wear such a beautiful dress. I can also see that the army force is wearing helmets or green hats except for the man holding the little girls hand. Not only that, but also, I see them walking on a street that has no cars. Another conclusion is that they are going to a funeral of the little girls mom or dad, who is very important. ,
Alexia (MA)
@Alexandria Awong i agree that the little girl might be royalty because her dress is really nice. I think the little girl is going to ballet or leaving because she has ballet shoes on.
yahsir (lensen st)
I think in this picture that this scene is from the olden days, the people are trying to reenact something. This picture was probably not taken in the 90s or 70s because it is colorful and not black and white. It is focused in the front and the back is blurred out. The lines are painted on the road so its is not like the olden days. The little girl probably wanted to be a part of the scene and act out something important but it looks like she is nervous because she is holding onto her dress. The sword that the man is holding looks like plastic because there is no metal reflection. They probably don't want to hurt anyone, and the guns might be fake. This is a private event because no one else is around.
Jack Hanson (Amarica)
I think what's going on is that a girl is holding a man's hand walking behind a group of soldiers. I say that because they're all walking across the street. More things I notice is that the girl is wearing a dress, I don't know why. Also, the man holding the girls hand is wearing a similar uniform to the soldiers.
Hayden C (SKHS)
I see people in green coats and black boots with what looks to be a military helmet and some of them are carrying guns but i'm pretty sure that they are fake. I also see a guy holding a little girls hand. I think that this picture was taken just awhile ago but not to long ago because the streets look new and clean, plus you can see a couple of stop light poles in the background.
Carly B (SKHS)
I think this could be Veterans day. There could be a parade. The people in the green are apart of a marching group. The little girl could be lost and they are taking her back to where she is supposed to be. I see they have guns. I see the little girl has a blue dress.
Kacey (MA)
@Carly B I definitely agree with you on how this could be apart of a parade, but I think the man that is holding the little girls hand is her father.
Alacyn G (SKHS)
It looks like there are 15 men and 1 little girl. The little girl is wearing ballet flats and her hair is in a bun, so I think she is a little dancer. It also seems as though this is sometime in the early 2000's because of the helmets. One man is not wearing a helmet, I think it's her father. But, it looks like they're going to war, but not just yet because there would be more of them. And since the little girl is in dance attire, the soldiers might be going to her recital before they leave. Along with the man without a helmet is holding the little girl's hand, so he probably wants to his his child perform before he has to leave and all these other soldiers are going to support.
Linnea J (skhs)
There are several what looks like military men who are crossing the street, their backs facing the camera. One of the men is holding a little girls hand, she is wearing a blue princess dress and has a braid crown. The man holding the girls hand is taller than the other men and he is the only one without a helmet or a hat. The other men are carrying guns and everyone is wearing a cape.
Jayden Lynch (SKHS)
I don't know what the purpose for this is but all i know is they are wearing Russian military helmets and clothing from the military they are also kids the tallest one holding the little kids hand has got to be 17 or 18.It might be a parade(high pitch)but idk.
Absydi J (SKHS)
This looks like a father or older brother bring their daughter or sister to some sort of ballet thing. The man in the back is holding the little girl's hand. around the man, there is other people, who all look like soldiers. Most to the soldiers are wearing helmets or hats. all of the men in the picture are where olive green pants and coats. Most of the men are carrying guns or weapons. the little girl is wearing pink ballet flats and a blue dress. Maybe the little girl lives in a dangerous neighborhood and doesn't feel safe walking alone.
Marissa J. (SKHS)
I definitely missed the ballet shoes. That is a very clever observation. Dangerous neighborhoods would warrant some kind of protection. It would have to be very dangerous though considering the fact that the men are armed. Way to think outside the box. ;)
Kaden E (SKHS)
I can see some army and a man and the little girl who wear dress. The army look young boys because they are smaller than the man who is beside the girl. Military uniform that they wear looks like old American army uniform. Seems to be a dress up like LARP, or maybe a costume party.
Valeria (México)
@Kaden E Yeah, I also think that.
Shaili B (SKHS)
People are in soldier costumes and an older man holding a little girls hand. I think this is a Halloween costume because it was halloween last week.
Da'vi Guzman- E (SKHS)
In the photo there's 10 men dressing up as soldiers and the tall guy with no hat is holding a little girls hand while all walking down a straight line. They all seem to be carrying fake guns ,wearing hard hats and boat hats. They are wearing black boots with a heavy green jacket on.
cressa S (skhs)
it looks like army men walking down the street with a little girl. there is about 10 men wearing a cape and a helment.they are wearing black boots, light green pants, and dark green jackets.and they also are holding some type of gun and some are wearing helmets and other are not wearing helmets
Jon G (SKHS)
it looks like army men walking down the street with a little girl all of the men are wearing hats and one is not
Isaiah S (SKHS)
It looks like there's a group of people dressed up from a dance recital or a play. Because the little girl has a dress and dance shows on and the guys have fake weapons and there walking down the street to either go to it or to go do something after it like grab food or something.
Sophie B (SKHS)
I see an army walking like troops with a little girl wearing a blue dress. I can't really take a guess of what's happening but i think the girls dad died in war and the rest of the troops are walking her to his grave.
Laura (SKHS)
there are a lot of people in green outfits, look like military, but at the same time is not the usual; there is a little girl with a ballerina costume; all those people are crossing the street. judging by those aspects, I would guess they're all going to work and it's some kind of holiday where they need to dress up and they can bring their kids. the blond guy holding the little girl's hand is caring what seems to be a sword or something like this; there is one guy caring a gun; the guys up in the front have military hats on.
Bradyn M (SKHS)
In this picture, there are about 12 people and 1 child walking across the street. They could be dressing up for Halloween. I say that because the girl is wearing some kind of princess dress. The guys are also carrying guns and wearing helmets and long jackets in camo.
Bailey P (SKHS)
It appears to be multiple Army men or some sort of costume, possibly for a parade? I say this because the little girl is dressed up in a Cinderella get-up of some kind. Some of the men are caring a gun and the man in the back is holding the little girl's hand.
JonteM (SKHS)
It looks like a role play army men in modern day outfits. I say this because the picture is really clear and has great quality. I have also noticed that the little girl's shoes are modernized dance shoes. If this was really taken from back the, the photo would look a lot more visually different.
Siale Laupola (skhs)
it seems like in this photo that these solders are escorting this little girl across the street or something
Tony A (SKHS)
I assume that these are soldiers, with a young girl. They are wearing costumes, because from what I see the “soldier uniforms” don’t seem official. They must be taking the little girl to a place? Possibly to go eat? Get candy?
Mark T (SKHS)
The people in this picture are probably coming from some kind of event for one of the World Wars. The reason i think this, is because they are in militarily uniforms and carrying guns. The little girl is probably related to the man that is holding her hand.
mohammed moallem (RAIS Dammam)
The conclusion I made it that they are troops and I think that this is an act for some show because they are dressed nicely and the have a young girl, no one will ever take a small girl to war that is why I think this is an act.
Paola (-)
In this picture there is a group of men dressed in military-like uniforms and a little girl dressed as a princess holding onto one of these men, all crossing the street. I think that they are going to a parade of some sort, because the soldier’s postures are relaxed, they are not marching or in sync, and the girl is walking gracefully along the soldiers. I also notice that this picture was taken at day time and that this event took place in a city because of the streets and the posts.
Deanna D. (SKHS)
It looks like army men walking down the street with one little girl. There seems too be about 15 men wearing black combat boots, light olive green pants, and darker olive green jackets. Some of the men have olive green helmets on and others have hats on, while a few have no hats or helmets on. A couple of the men are also carrying what looks like riffle guns. The one man in the very back of all the men is holding hands with a little girl who is wearing a blue ballerina dress, with white tights on, and light pink ballerina slippers.
Tony A (SKHS)
@Deanna D. i agree with all of what you said
Lockport School class 8-3 (Lockport, MB, Canada)
We wonder if this has something to do with Halloween, Take Your Kid To Work Day, or Remembrance Day because we noticed that the photos that are published are relevant to what has been going on in the week that the photo was originally published. We wonder why there is a young girl holding a man's hand and why she is wearing ballet shoes. We think that it may be a parade for Remembrance Day and that the man holding the girl's hand is a relative or a friend. We also think it's somewhere near summer in the photo because the grass is green, it's sunny and the leaves are green and we think the people may be in the military. We wonder why there seems to be capes or tarps on the people's backs.
Da'vi Guzman- E (SKHS)
@Lockport School class 8-3 It may have to do something with Halloween or maybe part of the military. Also may be taken sometime in the summer because it's really nice out and the grass is bright green.
Isaiah S (SKHS)
@Lockport School class 8-3 and the guns that they are carrying look fake one is carrying a yellow/orange gun witch kinda looks like a nerf gun.
LaniO (SKHS)
People are walking across a street with green trench coats, green helmets, and law enforcement visors. What I see in this picture, is a little girl holding the hand of a man wearing one of the green trench coats. He is not wearing a helmet, but is wearing a trench coat. The little girl is wearing a blue dress. This blue dress has no connection to what others are wearing from what I see. With her hair braided back, her white tights and blue dress, she looks like a princess. Her shoes look like ballet shoes. I think this is going to be a ballet performance.
Gabriel C. (south kitsap)
In this picture it looks like a group of soldiers in a line and the leader in the back is holding a little girls hand and the soldiers are wearing some rain coat with helmets also they are holding a gun and the girl is wearing some fancy dress with her bally shoes and it looks like they took her out of class and escort her somewhere. It looks like somewhere downtown walking.
Saige H (SKHS)
There is a group of soldiers walking on the street. There is also a man holding hands with a little girl in a dress. It seems like some sort of training for the military because the group in front of the man seem to be teenagers, who are all carrying guns, and have helmets on. There clothing is also a camo green color. I think the man is the leader, and the little girl is his daughter. When I look closer, I see they are not marching, or at least not in sync, because their feet don't match up with each other.
Katie N (SKHS)
In this picture, it looks like soldiers marching to battle or it could be veterans day and they are going to a assembly at a school. There is a guy dressed like the soldiers at the back of the line with no helmet like the others and holding a little girls hand that could be his daughter. How I know this is because they dressed up as if going into battle but they can't simply do that with a kid on board so it's not a battle so I thought an assembly would fit this picture. What I also notice is that most have a gun and the guy without a helmet has a metal rod poking out, so I think he has the same gun as everyone but holding it differently.
Carly B (SKHS)
@Katie N I also think it is veterans day.
Evan M. (SKHS)
It looks like this picture was taken in some kind of combat zone due to all the armed soldiers marching in formation with helmets and trench coats and boots and the commander in the back has a little girl that is a refugee in his hand. I say this because the streets are deserted and the soldiers are armed. I can also find that it is in broad daylight and the little girl is wearing dress and has braids and it seems to be in a European country due to the man in the back having blonde hair and being tall.
Ryan S (SKHS)
based on the info from the photo i think there dressed up as veterans maybe going trick or treating in a group BC of the little girl holding his hand dressed as a princess
Evan P (SKHS)
It looks like the soldiers are from early or present Germany or Russia. It looks like they are either scouting the area for intruders and someone wanted there kid to come or they are preparing for an potential attack and they are getting the children to safety.
Ryan S (SKHS)
i think its a Halloween theme or something based on the information i get from the photo the army hats look plastic not real one of them has there daughter in a dress and it looks like they are marching on the sidewalk.
Sophie B (SKHS)
@Ryan S yeah it could be like a Halloween party or some type of event like that
Justin (SKHS)
it looks like a group of people that are marching some where with a little girl. it kinda looks like the people with weapons are younger people and the older person is holding the girls hand. i say this because they are shorter and look like they are training or something
Wyatt P. (SKHS)
The "capes" that the "soldiers" are wearing are just tarps, and the one in the back has his/her daughter with them. This could be a Halloween even somewhere in the world. The group of friends could be out trick or treating during the day and the one in the back brought his/her little sister/daughter along for the ride.
Dylan C (SKHS)
It looks like a group of people dressed as solders. Probably for a play or a movie, and the girl is also most likely a character in what ever they are doing. One big reason why i say they are doing a play or movie is because they seem to be dressed like ww1 solders not what modern solders look like.
Abigale D. (SKHS)
In the photo i see people dressed up in some sort of military outfit. In the back we so a tall man holding hands with a child who is dressed in a princess costume. I assume the little girl is the man's daughter because little kids don't hold strangers hands. By the setting of the area it seems like they are heading to some area or event. I can tell that the photo is more close to present time based on the quality of the photo and the setting.
Meghan P (SKHS)
In this picture I see a group of soldiers in uniform and a little girl holding a soldiers hand. The man whom's hand she's holding isn't wearing a helmet like everyone else. The man could be the little girls father, but I'm not 100% sure on that. The little girl seems to be wearing a princess dress and ballet slippers. I do think these people could be dressed up for Halloween and they're just taking the girl trick or treating.
Nicole A. (SKHS)
It appears as if there are a bunch of men dressed up in army outfits and there is one girl dressed in a dance outfit. This seems recent because of the camera quality. This could be for Halloween and they are all dressed up to go trick or treating. The kids are holding probably fake guns so they must be going to some sort of dress up thing. I could find what army soildiers wear these types of suits because they don't in the US
Preston D. (SKHS)
Well, since this is November which is the time of year where we honor our veterans, I believe this photo was taken around this time of year and that this march is in fact a march for fallen soldiers and all the soldiers who are still alive. I think the little girl is holding hands with her father who is probably a war veteran based off of his outfit. I also noticed that the group in front of the girl all have guns wrapped around them.
Svend T (SKHS)
There is a bunch of people in military uniform with hats on i could look like some march for the people that has just come home from a war. It makes me say that because of their clothing and some of the soldiers also have guns. There is also a little girl holding hands with what i think is her dad. She looks a little less depressing than the rest because she has a blue dress and some fine shoes.
Vv (Alexandria, IN)
It seems to me as if there is a group of people dressed up as veterans. At the end of the line there is a man that isn’t wearing a helmet like the others. To the left of the veteran without a helmet there is a little girl holding her hand. The little girl is dressed up as a princess, which then makes me think if they are going trick or treating in a group.
Ryan S (SKHS)
@Vv i agree with her answer because she brought up some of the points i did
Wyatt P. (SKHS)
@Vv Yeah, adding on a bit, he is also out "protecting his princess" during this because she is in a princess costume.
Saige H (SKHS)
@Vv I didn't think of that, but it makes sense because it is also around Halloween.
Hyla 8th graders (Bainbridge Island, WA)
We think that this is a celebration for scouting. We also think that the little girl is with her father. It is either "Take your child to work day" or she didn't want to leave him. Either way, it's a cool picture!
Meghan P (SKHS)
@Hyla 8th graders I do agree with it being a cool picture however, do you think that they could be dressed up in costumes since it is around the time of Halloween?
Aiden (USA)
In this photo there seems to be a group of soldiers traveling down a street, At the end of the line there is a little girl wearing a dress who is holding the hand of a soldier who is not wearing a helmet. That soldier may possibly be related to the young girl, and that may also be related to the fact that his helmet is off possibly showing him being off duty
Vv (Alexandria, IN)
@Aiden i agree with this persons comment, because I saw the little girl as well. As well as I saw the soldiers.
Hassan Aljawad (Rais Dammam)
It looks like a group of soldiers or troops forming a line. From what I see I would say the picture might have been taken in Europe given the hair, and uniform. The little girl seems odd, Troops shouldn't not be armed whilst holding a child's hand.
Laura (SKHS)
@Hassan Aljawad I believe that the girl is not that odd to be there, because i don't think those guys are actually in their military vests, because it looks like something people would wear a long time ago; so I believe that they're going to some place where they're supposed to be dressing up in costumes or something like this.
Aurelia (Austria)
A group of soldiers is marching down a street. The last soldier is holding the hand of a little girl who is wearing a blue dress. The scene might be set in Eastern Europe given the skin and hair colour of the soldiers and also their helmets and hats. Also, the plants and the vegetation in the backdrop look like they appear in northern or European countries. Maybe the girl is the daughter of the soldier. She could also be a ballerina at an official government reception or alike. The last solider is the only one who is not wearing a hat. Maybe he is off duty.
Evan M. (SKHS)
@Aurelia I agree that this in Europe.
Aubrey Z (SKHS)
My first thought was that soldiers were marching into a war and the tall, blond guy was walking with his daughter for as long as he could. However, as I look at it more it seems that the soldiers may be coming home from work and the blond guy has been approached by a little girl and is walking with her. It is obvious this takes place in another country due to the uniforms because US Military uniforms do not look like that. The little girl seems to be wearing a ‘princess’ dress with tights and her hair done up pretty fancy. This could be for many reasons such as a birthday or Halloween. The tall, blond guy, along with many others, are wearing a military uniform with some form of weapon(sword or gun). It is day time outside and they are walking across the street towards what looks like a little park area.
Preston D. (SKHS)
@Aubrey Z I agree that they are coming home from war.
Katie N (SKHS)
@Aubrey Z I agree with your observation, i didn't think of it as Halloween purpose or birthday.
Owen (Alabama)
The people in this picture are probably coming form some kind of event for one of the World Wars. The reason i think this, is because they are in militarily uniforms and carrying guns. The little girl is probably related to the man that is holding her hand.
Chris (SD)
It looks like a military march since they are dressed in some type of military style, with guns,helmets. Also because they are walking in a line. The little girls looks like the mans daughter since they are both holding hands.
Baptist (parmelee)
Its looks like there going to a war and there going to drop every kid(girl) off and take the boys and go and fight
Nicole A. (SKHS)
@Baptist Personally I don't think that they are going to war because the streets look pretty modern and if they were there would not be guns near such a little girl. And this is pretty recent so.
Bradyn M (SKHS)
@Baptist I do not think they are going to war because there has not been a recent war and I think this photo was taken recently. Also, they have a kid with them
Tori L (USA)
To me, the little girl seems to be the daughter of the man she's holding hands with, from what I gather looking at this photo I believe these men belong to the military from another country. If that is the man's daughter he may be parading her around with these other men showing "not to mess with his princess" giving a warning to all of this country's citizens that military families are not to be messed with!
Alex M. (SKHS)
it looks like they could be reenacting a war or some kind of battle. there is a large group of men all wearing similar outfits that look like old army uniforms. the man at the back appears to be the little girls dad, as she apppears to be holding his hand and walking with them. i say its a reenactment becuase if they were actually in battle, the little girl would not be with them, and all the uniforms and equipment appear very old.
Svend T (SKHS)
@Alex M. I agree with what you say this could very well be ture
Anne .A. (SKHS)
It looks like army men walking and they have a little girl with them, but if it were dangerous i don't think the would be bringing a little girl around with them. The men are all wearing what looks like uniforms from a while ago, but the photo doesn't look that old, also the clothing the girl is wearing doesn't look like its from that long ago.
Dylan C (SKHS)
@Anne .A. I think it might be for a show because they are dressed like ww1 solders
Christenae (SHKS)
Not sure what's going on in this picture. In this picture i see a group of what looks to be men. They are wearing uniforms and walking in a line on a what looks to be an empty street. It's daytime. Their uniforms are green. They're wearing jackets/capes over their uniforms, and black boots. Their uniforms look older than the modern day ones. It looks like some of them are carrying guns, the guns look like they are fake. All of them are wearing helmets except for the person in the back, who is holding a little girls hand while they walk. The little girl has dark brown hair that is pulled back in a braided bun. She has what looks like a light green barrette in her hair. She is wearing a light blue princess dress with white leggings and pink ballet shoes.
Aubrey M (SKHS)
In this photograph, it appears as if there may be a war reenactment occurring. There is a group of men dressed in military attire. The tallest man towards the rear is holding what could be his daughter's hand. She has a dress on which looks to be Cinderella or some other character which leads me to believe that she wanted to be a part of the reenactment and wear her own outfit. I have made these specific conclusions due to certain indicators in this picture that include their location, attire, etc. The location leads me to believe that this is some sort of informal reenactment because it is taking place in a street where there are no cars in the surrounding area. Additionally, it appears as if everyone in this photo, except for the tall blonde man, could be children. It appears this way as they are on the shorter side, as if they are teenagers.
kollee (sd)
it looks like they are trick or treating and the boy has to take his little sister around
Zachary Y (SKHS)
In this picture i see a group of men in military gear along with what i would assume to be the man in the back's daughter wearing a princess dress. Out of the men 10 are wearing helmets, 3 are wearing officer caps, and the one in the back is wearing anything on his head. This maybe a bring your daughter to work day or even showing that the dad will always protect his little princess

Marielle M. (skhs)
It looks like there's a parade going on for the men in the military. It looks this way because the roads look empty from cars and the men are walking on the road in a line, dressed up in army uniform with their weapons and the little girl in the back had the opportunity to march with them because it looks like she's holding the guys hand in the back and he is possibly her dad. I also noticed that she was wearing ballet shoes and sort of a ballet dress and her hairs done so maybe the parade was made to inspire other kids to reach their dreams(like the little girl wanting to become a ballet dancer) and know they're protected by their army of men willing to sacrifice their lives.
Andrew B (SKHS)
It looks like all they are all walking someplace and the Little girl wanted to say goodbye or walk with whosoever hand shes grabbing.what I see that makes me say that is all the army or military people are walking in the same direction to probably the same location. And the girl just wants to be with them to walk them there or it is her father or someone related and wants to say goodbye before they leave.Some things in the background that make me say some of this is they are on a street so they are probably all going on a bus or some sort of transportation.
Samantha.N. (SKHS)
I believe this is a group of Military walking down to or from the base. You can tell their military because they guns and because of how they're dressed. They might be from the Army or Marine branch but I'm not 100% sure. In the very back we have a tall gentleman holding hands with a young girl in a blue dress. He could be either helping her across the street. Or that is his daughter.
Brooklyn W. (SKHS)
This seems to be a Dad taking boy scouts out on a trip of some sort. The dad seems to also be dropping his daughter off at a dance lesson or performance because she is wearing ballet shoes, tights, and a dance costume, The little girl also has a bun in (this is all proper ballet attire). The boys walking in front of the man appear to be buy scouts because they are wearing boy scout hats and helmets, they are also wearing they proper clothing for an outing. They boys are also caring guns, which proves they are boy scouts.
Absydi J (SKHS)
@Brooklyn W. My conclusion was very similar to yours, except for the part that you said they were boy scouts. 3 out of 4 of my brothers were boy scouts and they were never given war clothes and weapons.
Damon F. (SKHS)
I believe that this is a parade for the military in a foreign country which I believe to be England. I believe it is England because their uniforms do not look like U.S. military uniforms and they are also wearing some kind of overcoat which is not the one typically seen with U.S. troops. The leader of this division is most likely the man holding the little girl's hand because he does not have a helmet on and seems to be moving at a more relaxed pace than the soldiers in front of him. I believe this is a parade due to the fact that they are very near to the street and there are no cars seen to be passing on the road which could mean it is being blocked off for the parade.
Damien W (SKHS)
It looks to be a more recent photo, due to the quality of the photo. The photo seems to be on a group of soldiers walking on the road with a girl, holding hands, as if he is presenting her in a way. Most of the soldiers are dressed the same and are around the same relative height except the one holding the girls hand, so he might older than the other soldiers. I don't know where this could be exactly, but just judging based off of uniform, I would say this is somewhere in Russia or Germany.
Heather S. (SKHS)
I see a little girl and a group of people walking. in this picture it looks like a little girl around the age of 5 or 6 holding hands with a man. I'm guessing she is around 5 or 6 due to how she is dressed and she looks around the height or a 5 year old. The man she is holding hands with seem to be in the army or some sort of military. I'm guessing that because the group of men are all wearing green helmets and are all uniformed. I can also see that a few men are caring guns and the man holding the little girls hand is holding what looks to be a sword of some sort. I say that because the way it is next to his side and how long it seems to be. i also noticed the streets were empty. There is no cars or people other that this group. I think they are either preparing for training or are in a parade because if it was to dangerous they wouldn't take the little girl with them.
Audrey G (SKHS)
It looks like some sort of military parade or a reenactment of something. i think this because there are many men in military type uniforms walking down the road with a little girl which leads me to believe it is a parade. since the little girl is there they obviously aren't in any type of danger so this is a public event. i also think this is in another country because the uniforms are a different style from the normal U.S. ones.
Varian F (SKHS)
those are Russian outfits the child stands out of course which is a main reasons she has a green bead or something in her hair, she is most likely a poster child and she looks like shes holding hands with the soldier or she just likes to swing her arms really far out.
Lukaus P. (SKHS)
this photo looks like alot of men walking across the street and one of the men brought his daughter. this could be Halloween because how the girl is wearing something different then the men or they could be doing something for a event having to do with the army
Hannah T (SKHS)
In this picture, I see a group of military men with a little girl. One of the military men doesn't have his helmet on like the others. This man happens to be holding the little girls hand. The men with the helmets on have a gun strapped to them while they're escorting the little girl somewhere.
Tiana K (SKHS)
it looks like in the picture there's an army team going away so one of the guys is saying goodbye to his little girl in the blue dress.The reason i think they might be in the army is because of the guns,hats, and clothing.
jonathon d (skhs)
i feel as if they are doing this as a joke or a inspirational act. as you can see there is a young girl with a dress (princess) on and this girl is holding hands with a person dressed as maybe a military commander and in front of them there are multiple people dressed in military outfits another thing that can be noticed is they are in the road because if you look towards the bottom right there is a road line and the top left there seems to be a highway
Caleb S. (SKHS)
This looks to be a group of men and maybe women walking across the street. These people may be dressed up for Halloween, based on the costumes and the girl walking next to them. This picture also seems to be more recent, which leads me to believe that its costumes due to the fact that the uniforms are from WWI.
Noah T (SKHS)
In this picture, I see a group of military men marching in old uniforms with a man and a little girl holding hands in the back of the march, my guess is that they're in some sort of parade or event cause this picture seems fairly new, and you won't see a little girl in a military march in real life.
Connor M. (SKHS)
There is a group of people possibly reenacting some kind of war, and there is a little girl that I think is a ballet dancer because of her shoes. I can tell because they are holding older weapons and their uniforms are not from this century, they also aren't walking in formation but they should be if they are holding weapons. The little girl also wouldn't be there if they were real soldiers. I can also see that the guy holding the little girls hand isn't wearing a helmet, and he seems taller than the rest of them.
Annabelle N (SKHS)
It looks like either a reenactment of an old event or a parade for the military in a different country. The reason i think it might be a reenactment or from a different country is because their uniforms are different than modern day US military uniforms. I also feel like it could be a reenactment or a parade is because they have a little girl with them holding hands with one of the men, most likely her father, which leads us to believe they aren't going into something dangerous. What more can we see? From the looks of it they are in the road on a highway or some other kind of main road, there is well kept plants in front of them and we can see the slightest bit of a light pole? a street sign? in the back. From that we can conclude that this picture is taken modern day and the people in the photo are most likely not in danger.
cody (south dakota)
it looks like a parade for the military cause those guys are holding weapons.it looks like there are in another country cause those uniforms look different.
Aubrey M (SKHS)
@cody I agree with you assertion that this is in a different country because of the uniforms. Additionally, the man with blond hair makes me think this as this is a common hair color in eastern European countries. The girl also has a tan skin tone, also common in eastern Europe.
Christenae (SHKS)
@cody i agree. I though of that as well.
NLE steve (parmelee)
It looks like they are army people walking to somewhere with the little girl,and they have helments on with guns by their sides.
jonathon d (skhs)
@NLE steve this as though they are not in the army because if you look at the people in the front they look younger maybe 9 or 10
Hunter (The Goat) (Area 51)
It looks like a bunch people maybe either playing dress up or they might be training for something.
Samantha.N. (SKHS)
@Hunter (The Goat) by the way their dressed in their gear. I don't believe their playing dress up. If they where their guns wouldn't look that realistic
Lukaus P. (SKHS)
@Hunter (The Goat) This could be believe able but I dont this so.
Damon F. (SKHS)
@Hunter (The Goat) I do not believe they are simply "playing dress up" due to the fact that their outfits look very authentic and real. Their weapons also look very real and authentic.
Payton L (South Dakota)
It looks like a girl wearing ballet slippers the man holding her hand is her dad, and he works in the army. It look like a parade for the military cause there's a lot of them walking in a straight line.
Caleb S. (SKHS)
@Payton L This may not be true, because these are outdated costumes. This must be a halloween event that they are doing.
Joanna B. (SKHS)
@Payton L I like that we both brought up that this could possibly be his daughter. More indicators that they are probably in the military is that they are wearing the stereotypical green helmet meant to help them camouflage as well as carrying weapons.
Marielle M. (skhs)
@Payton L I thought the same thing with it possibly being a parade, but I also think it's possibly a reenactment of what the army used to be back then because the uniforms they're wearing is outdated and old.
Daniel (SD)
It looks like they are getting ready for something or a war, maybe even just training. The little girl walking beside the person who looks like the leader of the pack. The small girl is probably inspired by the army and she wants to be one of them.
Tiana K (SKHS)
@Daniel your response was different then the others.
St. Anne School (Lancaster, PA)
We notice that the girl is wearing ballet slippers. We think the man holding her hand is her father. It could be a parade for the military, because there are no cars around and they are on a road. We don't think this is in the United States because of the way the uniforms look. The uniforms look older, so this might be a reenactment or performance.
Hannah T (SKHS)
@St. Anne School Wow, this is a very good observation. I did not realize that the little girl is wearing ballet shoes.
Annabelle N (SKHS)
@St. Anne School I agree with your thoughts on the photo, I didn't even take into consideration that there were no cars on the street which helps to support the idea that this is some sort of parade. I also agree that this photo is most likely taken in a different country because of how different their uniforms look. My first thought was also a reenactment because of the way they are dressed and because of the little girl that is with them.
Photo class Villa Maria College (Buffalo, NY)
Our thoughts: Reminds one student of Star Wars or Cinderella or Halloween. Maybe it's a parade? The one man is very tall, maybe he's the only adult? Though the others one person (in the knit hat) looks like he has grey hair. The tall man's hair looks like a wig because it looks very choppy. Dance recital because of girl in dress and ballet shoes and one student recalls the painful way her hair had to be done like that for recitals. They are holding rifles, maybe the tall guy has a light saber?
Lucas Comet (HHHS)
The picture looks a bit odd to say the least. You have a (forgive me if this isn’t the correct term) platoon of soldiers, with one in the back holding the hand of a young girl in a powder-blue dress. It could just be a father on his way to a reenactment with his daughter, or maybe it’s a father and daughter patrolling the streets. However, why a street would need a group of soldiers like that for just a patrol is beyond me.
Willa (South Dakota)
It looks like people are going to war. But I am not sure why the little girl is doing there?
Connor M. (SKHS)
@Willa I disagree, this picture looks like it was taken from this century and the little girl wouldn't be there if they were. The man is holding a sword but they don't use swords in wars anymore, and those are old rifles that they are holding but they use more advanced weapons now.
Noah T (SKHS)
@Willa It's probably some sort of parade or Event because the uniforms look pretty old and the girl is wearing a ballet outfit so there probably dressing up.
Emma W. (SKHS)
@Willa Yeah, it does look odd. I think the man is the little girl's father, and she has come with him to spend some time with him before he leaves maybe.
Mrs. Fanjoy's Class (Moncton, NB, Canada)
We think the soldiers are marching to a ceremony and the little girl is marching with her Dad. We think her grandfather passed away in WW2. We see some greenery in the picture, which makes us wonder if maybe there is a tree planted in Memorium of fallen soldiers. OR We also think there is a possibility that they are re-enacting WW2 and the man is protecting the girl because she has brown hair and at the time, brown hair was not necessarily a good thing. The soldier has blond hair.
Seth Comet (HHHS)
Clearly it looks like they are some sort of soldiers that are marching to a spot. I almost think that it is like a war reenactment because if you have a kid with you with a group of soldiers you are either going into war or doing a reenactment. Since she has a beautiful dress on I think that she is just joining the boys for a good old fashion war reenactment. Plus they don't really look like they’re fleeing a country they look kind of laid back and are just on there a way to the local battlefield.
Braedon Comet (HHHS)
In this picture I see a bunch of people getting ready for a Halloween party that night. One reason I say this is that so many of the guys are wearing the same outfit. Also the gun that you can see the person wearing looks like it just a pellet gun. Another reason is you see one of the guys with his daughter wearing a princess outfit because she is probably going to the party as well. The last thing is that I the outfits don’t look like actual military outfits for them to wear if they were going to a war or a castle
Nick Comet (HHHS)
What I think is happening in this picture is a WWII reenactment. The reason I say that is because the picture looks like it was taken recently and the men in the picture appear to be wearing a uniform from WWII. Also, the roads look like they are from recent times.
Kaden Comet (HHHS)
The kids are going trick or treating as a group. The adult in the group also brought his daughter who’s dressed as the princess. One of the guns has a yellow color to it showing that the gun is not real. If I had to guess, the boys are not very happy about the princess tagging along.
skylar comet (HHHS)
In this picture we can see that a man holding possibly his daughter's hand while in front of him are younger kids dressed as soldiers walking in the middle of the day. I don't think that it is during Halloween because it is the middle of the day and there does not appear to be anyone else on the streets. This could be some form of protests or maybe even a school event.
Zach Comet (HHHS)
It looks like the kid is being escorted by soldiers on Halloween. They look like soldiers because they are wearing WWI or WWII soldier uniforms. They are also carrying old guns. The kid is next to her father and the other people might be actual soldiers. Her father is probably a soldier in the Army or the Marine Corps.
Joe Comet (HHHS)
This picture looks like some russian party with a leader, and the leader is walking around his daughter. They all look as if they have guns and other war like materials on them. They are all dressed in matching uniforms which looks like they are apart of something.
Eagles (Connersville, IN)
We believe the photo is set fairly recently due to how the little girl is dressed. We wonder if she is holding her father's hand and if she is visiting him on a military base. We don't think the photo was taken in the United States.
Izumi comet (HHHS)
I can see some army and a man and the little girl who wear dress. The army look young boys because they are smaller than the man who is beside the girl. Military uniform that they wear looks like old American army uniform. But I have no idea what picture is this.
Sophie, Comet (Hanover Horton)
In this picture I see a man holding possibly his daughter's hand, and walking with a group of young boys. These boys seem to be wearing some type of war costume, and could possibly be walking in a parade or going to something related to what they are wearing.
Anne .A. (SKHS)
@Sophie, Comet I agree, they could be heading to a reenactment. A student in my class mentioned that uniforms look older but the picture looks from this time period.
EmilyComet (HHHS)
I think that it is a neighborhood dad taking some kids out trick or treating and he is holding his little girls’ hand. The outfits are outdated and and the rifles are wooden if you look under the one boys’ arm. The little girl could also be royalty and is getting an escort. But then she would be surrounded.
GeneS (New Mexico)
I believe that the man in the back of the line, is not only holding his daughter's hand. But could be a Boy Scout leader, or the neighborhood dad taking the boys trick-or-treating.
Ivan (Russia, Saratov)
It is simple. This is men wearing replicas of Soviet uniform with replicas of firearms. In Russia you can see them quite frequently before and on different holidays. Especially ones associated with WW2. The little girl beside them might be a daughter the guy, who holds her hand. I think they in a hurry on holiday or a parade.
ÓliLínóSævarKonráðArnór (Iceland)
We see kids in army costumes and an adult is leading them while holding a little girls hand, the girl is in a princess costume. This is during halloween.
Emma Blas (JCMS)
I think that they are trying to make a statement about something. Maybe it has to do with being a gentleman or something like that because there are a bunch of soldiers and then one man holding a little girls hand. I also think that it is somewhere in Russia.
James F (SKHS)
This photo seems to represent a Memorium or celebration of some sort. With at least 13 men wearing matching uniforms and a younger girl who is probably the daughter of the man whose hand he is holding. They could be honoring a fallen soldier or they could be going out for Halloween. The guns in their hands could possibly be fake, but I'm not too sure.
Aubrey Z (SKHS)
@James F I did not think of that possibility, but it makes a lot of sense and I would not be surprised if it was the truth. Although we did notice that the guy and little girl are not holding hands, that’s what I originally thought as well.
Ivan (Russia, Saratov)
Two of the men wearing Soviet military hats named "pilotka". So definitely they're going to/from on a repetition of holiday as acters.
Sahil Patel (Hoggard High School in Wilmington, NC)
Part 1- The little girl holding her father’s hand is what captures my attention in this image. Judging by their guns and helmets, it appears that the men, including the father of the girl, are soldiers. It is a possibility that these soldiers could be preparing to go to war since the are wearing protective gear such as black boots and helmets. However, these men may not be heading toward combat but could be doing military training or just marching down the street. I believe that this image is attempting to convey a deeper message than showing a group of soldiers with a little girl. This image is attempting to provide insights into the life of a girl who has to experience a military lifestyle because her father serves in the military. Since the girl may not have anywhere else to go, she has to follow her father around as he goes to serve his country.
KathleenAOSE (Academy of Saint Elizabeth's)
This looks like this might be on Halloween, I would say this might be a re-enactment of some kind, except for the little girl that is dressed up and holding the guy's hand. This could indicate that there might be a group costume on Halloween. They are on a commercial road and look like they have fake guns and the clothes look relatively new. This is probably some kind of recreation of some kind of battle or maybe something for Halloween.
Sahil Patel (Hoggard High School in Wilmington, NC)
Part 2- As tension and conflict is created all over the world, more soldiers are forced to serve in the military and more families are torn apart. As shown by the little girl in the image, this conflict not only affects the soldiers but often, the families and the communities of these men. This girl represents the numerous children who are forced to spend the rest of their childhoods following their fathers around in the military and experiencing events that children their age should not have to face. This may affect their social and mental life in a negative manner since all they will have have seen is soldiers training in the military and going to war. Whether or not these men are soldiers preparing for war, this image still depicts the effects that military duty can have on children. Fathers in the military who do not have anywhere else to leave their children often have to take their children with them to military duty. The girl holding her father’s hands has to accept the fact that she must go wherever her father travels. The message that this image conveys is deep and addresses a universal issue: numerous children throughout the country and the world have to adjust their lifestyles because their parents serve in the military.
Ivo (Czech Republic)
The person in the back seems taller than the rest of the group and their military gear seems quite dated, weapon stocks are wooden. Also there seems to be no need for raincoats in this kind of weather. Combined with the little girl in the back this seems like it is more likely some sort of reenactment situation. Or school military exercise (in some countries those are still a thing).
Emilie (AHE)
I think in this picture that this scene is from the olden days, the people are trying to reenact something. This picture was probably not taken in the 90s or 70s because it is colorful and not black and white. It is focused in the front and the back is blurred out. The lines are painted on the road so its is not like the olden days. The little girl probably wanted to be a part of the scene and act out something important but it looks like she is nervous because she is holding onto her dress. The sword that the man is holding looks like plastic because there is no metal reflection. They probably don't want to hurt anyone, and the guns might be fake. This is a private event because no one else is around.
Savanna M (SKHS)
I think in this picture there is a military general with his daughter and his men marching for something. They are all wearing military uniforms, but they look more like the uniforms from earlier generations. Some of the men are carrying guns, so that makes me wonder if they are reenacting something.
Dawson M (SKHS)
I see 14 men who seem to be apart of the army or some type of security or government. Out of the 14 men one has no type of hat an he is holding hands with some little girl in a nice blue dress. But it seems weird on why they would be in the middle of a street and have this little girl with them. So they could be in some type of costumes for an event, parade, march. This photograph is good quality so it is probably very recent, probably in the 2000's.
Leiland.M (SKHS)
It looks like World war II military because of how out dated the uniforms look there probably not actual military soldiers because there not in step with each other or in any sort of formation also the tall man in the back has a little girl with him who is in a dress plus there not really dressed in urban gear there dressed in calvary looking gear,the smaller men in the front have helmets or hats some of them are also holding guns,the man in the back doesn't have any sort of cap or helmet and he has what looks like a sword in his right hand or some sort of saber (which is why I think there dressed up as a calvary unit) So my guess is there celebrating something important or there ready for Halloween.
Sahil Patel (Hoggard High School in Wilmington, NC)
@Leiland.M I believe that you may be right about the fact that these men and the girl are dressed up for Halloween. I also agree that the soldiers are probably not going to war after looking at the girl’s dress and the uniforms they are wearing. However, there are many other possibilities as to what the men and the little girl could be doing. Since their outfits are of uniform composition and they are all wearing black boots, they seem to be doing something more serious than just celebrating Halloween. There is most definitely a purpose as to why the little girl is with them, holding her father’s hand. I believe that this image is trying to convey a deeper message than just depicting a Halloween parade. This image is trying to reveal the impacts that serving in the military has on children. The little girl holding her father’s hand is meant to represent the numerous children who are affected by their parents serving in the military. The men in this image are doing much more than marching; they are trying to raise awareness of the effects that occur on the children of those who serve in the military.
KathleenAOSE (Academy of Saint Elizabeth's)
@Leiland.M Why would you say World War ll?
Karissa G. (SKHS)
I think this could be some sort of memorial or celebration. I think this because the military uniforms look a little outdated based on how modern the little girls hair style is. I think this could be a war memorial or celebration kind of thing because they men are all dressed up in old military uniforms. I see the little girl is wearing ballet shoes which leads me to believe that maybe the man that is holding her hand is her father and she is in some sort of dance possibly for the celebration.
Amaya V (SKHS)
In the picture I noticed that there are people in military-like clothing walking in a line. At the end of the line there is a person holding a little girl's hand. From this I can assume that the man and the girl are related and I can also infer that this is being taken in more recent times due to the quality of the image. I believe that this could be a war reenactment or even Halloween. I say that because it looks to be in current times and they are able to bring a child with them. I noticed that the girl is in a poofy dress so that could maybe be a costume.
Anna (Port Orchard, WA)
I think that this little girl is walking with her dad before he has to leave and go to war. The little girl is dressed up so it seems to be a special occasion. She is also holding the man's hand which makes me believe that he is her dad or at least a close relative, who she is saying goodbye to.
Emma Davis (skhs)
I see a little girl in a dress walking with a group on men. The men look like they are in the military because of what they are wearing. Maybe the are protecting her from something or someone.

@Emma Davis Why do you think they are protecting the girl from something?
Trenton M. (SKHS)
it looks like to me that a group of soldiers are walking in a city like environment and one of the soldiers is walking with his daughter in the back. The uniforms seem like an older style and their weaponry isn't US weaponry which leads me to believe that these soldiers are in an Asian country around the early 1980s to late 1990s
Max (SKHS)
Global overview, These people are in the military and the guy in the back is with his daughter. Supporting details, the guy in the back is probably her dad because they are holding hands. They are most likely in the military because of the specific type of green they are wearing. The people are also carrying guns which forwards the point that they are military. What I infer, I believe that these people are they military of A country outside the US, Probably somewhere in europe, or maybe Asia because they look shorter besides the guy in the back.
Ryan H (SKHS)
i think this is a group of solders and a little girl walking somewhere. they have guns, helmets and uniforms. the man standing in the back is the leader of the group because he is holding a sword. usually the person in charge like the general or commander get an sword. they might be going off to war.
Ava S (South Kitsap High School)
The younger boys on the street look like they might be in an army club or program. There is a little girl in what looks like a princess dress. There is and older man and younger boys marching in front. It looks maybe there on a march maybe marching in parade I don't think their soldiers based off their size. I think the older man may be the little girls father.
Trevor S (SKHS, WA)
i believe based on what they are wearing in this photo world war era military uniforms and the size of then men in front marching tells me they aren't older than 12 or 13 so i have reason to believe they are marching for a parade or a protest and the girl in ballet slippers holding hands with the man is most likely his daughter.
Morgan M. (SKHS)
In this picture I see about 12 military men walking in double file lines folllowed by what appears to be the leader or the trainer who is walking alongside and holding hands with a littl girl who could possibly be his daughter. I think that this man is escorting his daughter with his military troops to her dance reciatal because I see the little girl wearing a pair of dance shoes and a dance costume. I also can see that the troops in front of the leader are much shorter than the leader so they must be trainees but all of their uniforms and the little girls costume are definetly not modern and resemble a time of fashion during WW II.
Faith J (SKHS)
I see a little girl wearing a dress walking with someone that is wearing a military uniform. The uniforms appear to be costume because the material doesn't look very good. By the looks of it, this appears to be some sort of protest.
Gavin C (SKHS)
@Faith J i think that they are soldiers who found a little girl and are marching somewhere but i see what you mean because the material doesn't look very good and it could be a costume.
Mystery M (SKHS)
I see a little girl in a pretty dress walking with a bunch of military men and holding hands with one of them. This man might be related to her or she could be lost and theyre helping find her family or home. The quality of the photo makes me believe it was taken recently, in the 2000s maybe.
Kristoff Cain (Port orchard, Wa)
Soviet troops on a military parade, wearing WWII era uniform. I would assume the man in the back is of a higher rank, as he is wearing a sword.
Rhiannon H. (SKHS)
I think the lieutenant of this platoon brought his daughter to the marching drill after he picked her up from ballet. I think he's the lieutenant because all of the other men are grouped together, wearing helmets, and have rifles and he is at the back, perhaps directing them. I think that the little girl in light blue is the lieutenant's daughter because she is holding his hand and seems very comfortable with him. She may have been picked up from ballet before this picture was taken, because of the frilly outfit, her tight bun, tights, and the ballet shoes she is wearing.
L. B. (SKHS)
a small girl in a dress walks with and holds the hand of a -looks like a soldier from the military cause of the clothes and it is in green. maybe they are protecting here.
Casey M. (SKHS)
I see a little girl being escorted by a group of military men. I think this because all the men are wearing the same thing--most likely a uniform--with rifles. I think this picture as taken a long time ago because uniforms don't look like theirs do.
Anna (Port Orchard, WA)
@Casey M. I agree but when how long ago do you think it was if the picture wasn't taken recently? Also, I think that the girl is definitely going with them somewhere but I don't think they're necessarily escorting her.
Ariel L (skhs)
It looks like a bunch of men dressed up in old military clothing for some sort of event. It looks like this because of the color and style of their clothing, but it looks very different from military uniforms nowadays so they could be intentionally dressed in old military uniforms or they could be from Europe. The little girl probably saw them and wanted to join, or she could be the daughter of the man holding her hand.
Azat (USA)
This military detachment was most likely photographed during the so-called Victory Parade held annually in many post-soviet countries (especially in Russia) on May 9th. They are dressed in military uniform from the World War II. The girl also looks festive since her hair is braided and the dress resembles dresses of that time.
Morgan M. (SKHS)
@Azat this is a very clever assumption and i agree with your statement. I would aslo add that the little girl is either being escorted to or from her dance recital.
Kaito Alzati (Mexico)
In this picture, a small girl is holding hands with what seems to be a military general. There are a few other military men walking in front of them. I think that the man holding the girl’s hand is the general because the rest of the men have military caps, while the man has no headgear. I also assume that these men are part of the military because they are all wearing military-green colors and are holding guns. I think these people are trying to celebrate Halloween!
Casey M. (SKHS)
@Kaito Alzati I agree with them being military men because of their outfits.
Alexis (SKHS)
yeah, there tottaly trying to celebrate holloween
Rhiannon H. (SKHS)
@Kaito Alzati I agree with the military part of your observations. I think you're right when you say they're celebrating Halloween, although I hadn't thought of it myself when I was writing my observations.
Maria (-)
I am guessing that what is going on in this image is halloween costumes. It is a group of men dressed up as military and a little girl dressed up as a princess or ballerina. The military uniforms do not look modern, they have a style from the last century. They are not marching, their feet do not line up. The men are not dressed for an urban, current setting. Even if they were halloween costumes, or an unrealistic representation of a military setting, it still does not make any sense for a young girl to be walking alongside a military wing. Which is why it is most likely for it to be a fake setting.
Sam M (SKHS)
@Maria This makes a sense because like you said their do not match up and there is no reason for a little girl to be walking with the military.
Amaya V (SKHS)
@Maria I agree. I believe that this could have been for a war reenactment.
Elfriede S (MX)
In this picture, I see a little girl dressed in a frilly and princess-like dress holding hands with a man dressed in military clothes, accompanied by a group of about eight other men dressed in military clothes. I think that the men are not actually serving in the military because their uniforms seem outdated (maybe from WWII) and they are not marching. As a result, I think that the men are participating in a memorial or some sort of tribute and are only dressed up as soldiers. The fact that the little girl is with them and dressed up as a princess also influences this conclusion.
Ava S (South Kitsap High School)
@Elfriede S I thought maybe the little girl is the generals daughter because their holding hands.
Leiland.M (SKHS)
@Elfriede S I agree with what you said about them celebrating some sort of tribute or memorial because there not in step with each other so they couldn't be marching plus there clothes are pretty outdated.
Daniel (Mexico)
There is a supposed military unit walking across the street, in a symbolic march. It is symbolic as they are not marching, which means they are coming back in victory, and they are wearing World War I uniforms. We can observe that one has a rifle which also fits the time period. The man holding the girl's hand is aslo symbolic as they managed to save their homelands to keep their children and family safe. I also notice that farther to the front you can see people with different hats, probably marking their higher status as they are leading the group.
Dawson M (SKHS)
@Daniel I think this as well, it does seem to be some type of march.
owen callaghan (skhs)
thair is a groop of people that wanted to all have the same halloween costume but on of them had to bring thair kid
Faith J (SKHS)
@owen callaghan What makes you think that?
L. B. (SKHS)
@owen callaghan a funny comment could be p[ossible but it is very light outdside
Ryan H (SKHS)
@owen callaghan that is an interesting idea i didn't even think about that. they might be dressed for a play or a event.
Manuel (Mexico)
I think that the picture portrays a group of military rebels walking with a little girl. I believe this because the people walking have dark green clothes and a dark green helmet, resembling the colors of the military. They also have heavy-duty boots as if they were ready for battle, and they have guns, maybe a sort of rifle like the military. They could be rebels because they are walking in a city but they are prepared for anything, as if they were threatened by someone. I noticed the little girl walking with them. It could be that the rebels were hiding or resting someplace in the city and they found the little girl all by herself so they took her with them.
Gom (Mexico)
The picture shows what it seems to be the military. One of the soldiers is giving his hand to a little girl dressed in a blue dress. Apparently, the guns are fake and they are dressed to give a message or to protest. It is evident they are dressed for some event because actual soldiers would not use old equipment.
Alan in Utah (Utah)
my students thought: (1)what I see in this picture is that there are a lot of people walking all together because there all dressed up in a brown camouflage coat, also they are holding guns but I do not think that they are real. You can see there is a little girl so i must think it might be a parade that is going on or as i think its a memorial for those who served there country (2)I feel like this is ether a move set, a parade or the royal family on Halloween. Why do i say this? I say it because the little girl looks like she is wearing ballet slippers also the man in the very back is holding her hand. It appears to me the men are in the same jack and hats some are lighter or darker,some are not wearing a hat. Most of the men are holding guns they look like they are fake, But the man in very back has a sword. (3) It looks like they are in a parade, because of the road and because they are wearing what looks to be costumes. The little girl looks like shes dressed up as a princess. They are also walking in a line like they are following something or someone.
Diego (México)
In this picture, we can see a little girl going to trick-or-treat with her dad and a group dressed up as soldiers. She is dressed up as a fairy and the group of soldiers does not seem too legit, their weapons do not look like they are real and the girl is holding her hand, leading me to believe he is her father. The height of the troops makes it seem like the only adult in the picture is the tall guy, and the group in the front is just a bunch of dressed-up kids. It seems like it is mid-day, so they might be on a parade.
Ariel L (skhs)
@Diego I wasn't sure why they were dressed up, but Halloween would make a lot of sense.
Natalia Abaroa (Mexico)
What I think is going on in this picture is that there is a military group protecting the city because something bad has happened and this little girl is alone on the street. The little girl has probably lost her mother, so the men are taking her to a safe place to help her look for her parents. The three things that make me say this are the following. The men look like guards or some type of military detail that is marching together taking care of a place. Then, the little girl is dressed up, so she must have been going home from nursery or a party and lost her mother in the way. Lastly, the day is clear and there is not another person or object that indicates she has been in an accident. Something else that I notice is that all of the men are wearing their hood, but the last one is not. I wonder why he is not wearing anything, and why the girl is dressed up. I am also curious about the country where the image was taken.
Speech Group (Bellflower, CA)
We believe that this picture takes place in modern times since it is a colorized photo. Furthermore, we think it takes place in a cold city. We conclude that these people are soldiers since they are wearing dark green uniforms, helmets, equiped with a rifle, and walking together in unison. Some of us conclude that this is a reenactment of a celebration, while the rest of us believe that the soldiers are rescueing a little girl.
Karissa G. (SKHS)
@Speech Group I agree that this photo was taken in modern times due to color. I also agree that it could be a reenactment.
Sofia Amaro (Mexico)
I believe the scenario going on in this image is that there is a group of soldiers that are holding weapons and they are accompanied by a young girl that is dressed up as a princess or a ballerina. To me it seems like they are saving her from a situation of trouble or that they are trying to make a statement by setting this image. They look like they are walking together to go somewhere. In the beginning I thought it could also be that they were wearing costumes because of halloween but I rejected this idea because it is day time and it would be weird if they were going to a costume party during the day.
Talea (Mexico)
In this picture, what I think is going on, is that they are escorting this little girl somewhere. It looks like they might be in the military, because they are all wearing green and military-looking clothes and they are carrying guns. Maybe it's to protect the little girl from something. It looks like they are escorting the girl because they are many men at the front and the guy that is taking the little girl is holding her hand. I also noticed that the little girl is wearing a dress, so maybe this was not planned and they needed to take her for something important.

Natalia Aceves (Mx)
I think that in this picture is showing a march of ex-soldiers and the little girl is the daughter of the man that is holding her hand. She is showing her support in whatever they are marching for. Perhaps for the war to end. What makes me think this is the fact that the soldiers are in a lineup in full uniform but I see no officer or tanks, so it’s just them. Also, the little girl seems very relaxed so it is someone she knows. The uniforms also look worn in so they could have been used in the past. Some questions that I have is why is the girl dressed almost like a princess? Is this halloween?
Natalie (Mexico)
A little ballerina girl is holding hands with a man at the end of a line full of men wearing green uniforms and helmets. The little girl is wearing ballet shoes and not a traditional leotard, which makes me think it was after a recital. I think the weapons are fake due to the way they are being held and handled. Real weapons are held in a more formal way. As a final statement, I believe that they are on their way to some type of festival due to the way the girl is dressed and the way the weapons are handled by the men.
Isaac Song (sfdaf)
In this photo, I believe that these are soldiers ready to go off to a battle and is walking through the street to show everyone that they are ready. The picture also shows a little girl holding hand with a man which I suppose is her father and the captain of the group. She´s probably accompanying him until he has to leave to fight. I say this because in the picture I see a group of men holding guns with a helmet on top of their head. They are shown walking through a crosswalk and a young girl holding hand with the man. I noticed some of these men have different helmets on which can mean that they are in a specific country that is always in battle. They can also might represent a unit.
Isabella (-)
This picture was probably taken at a march to support the armed services and a little girl joined her father during this march. The reason I think it supports armed services is because yesterday was Armed Services ( I don’t know if that is the official name or something else) so people were supporting the military. The picture was probably taken in order to show support not only for military but also for their families, which would explain why the little girl was there. It is probably also because veterans day is coming up so people are starting their celebration early. I am not completely sure about this claim because the uniforms seem to be outdated, like from the last century and not what the military usually wears.
Camila (Canada)
I think the group of soldiers are going to a memorial of a fellow soldier with his daughter. The man at the far end is walking along with a little girl, holding her hand. Their hair color and skin tone do not match at all, so I inferred that the soldier is taking the girl to the memorial of her father. I noticed that the soldiers are carrying rifles and other metallic weapons that look kind of fake, which confuses me because if they are, it could change the whole story: a group of teens wearing soldier costumes for trick or treating.
Pepe (Guadalajara)
In this picture, it looks like a group of teenagers that have military uniforms, helmets, and guns (fake?). Then there is an instructor (middle-age man/woman) holding hands with a little girl with a blue dress. I think that they are training as they have an instructor and they are aligned crossing the street. I also notice how one of them doesn’t have a helmet, but some king of hat which makes him look much older than the other, so are they teenagers or man? And is the instructor just taller than them?
sally (montana, united states)
In this picture i see a group of soldiers and one soldier is holding a little girls hand. i also see that every soldier is wearing a helmet but the soldier that is holding the little girls hand has no helmet and i wonder why. Maybe because he's the leader or something. I also see that the little girl is like popped out of the picture meaning with the colors how its bright and light. I may believe that the little girl is going with the army guys, or i can also say weather it's wrong or write the little girl might be lost or something.
javon (montana)
i see a little girl dressed in a blue dress that is holding a military men hand while walking down a street. it looks to me like they are holding some fake guns, and also it looks like they are trying to recreate a battle from the past.
Mystery M (SKHS)
@javon why do you think it is a fake gun and what is telling you that they are recreating something? It just doesnt look fake to me.
