Tranquility, Stereotype, Guerrilla


Tranquility: This picture demonstrates a state of tranquility becuase of how beautiful and peaceful it is.


Stereotype: The couple in this picture are a stereotypical pair of middle-aged losers. They like to eat at fancy restaurants that they really can't afford even if it's at their children's expense. They also enjoy vacationing in Europe( also something they can't really afford) without their kids; who they leave behind to fend for themselves.

Guerrilla: These two Palestinans are part of Hamas: a militia that uses Guerrilla warfare to fight against the State of Israel.
