Homework #1 (Part A)

What moment from your life do you most wish you had a photograph of? Please describe the importance of the chosen moment from your life, and why no photograph exists.

A moment in my life that I cherish so much, no photograph could even come close to being true to the moment. Although the moment was a very sad and we lost someone very dear to us, something my big brother did for my twin and I is something I could never forget. At the time of the news, my twin brother and I were still pretty young to understand what was going on, and when we saw our parents and other relatives crying, we asked why. And, in any situation as such, where kids are not fully aware of the situation, people do not tend to focus on them or give them the attention they need. When my older brother heard us ask these questions, my twin and I unaware that we might have been making the situation worse, he took us to another building in the hospital and bought us toys, food, and drinks. He played with us all night long and told us that now was not the time to go back to the hospital room. When we asked when we could see the person we came to visit at the hospital, he calmly and bravely told us what happened. It is not until recently that I was able to put the situation together that he was trying to protect us. And one thing I will never forget from that night, is that he took us outside to see the stars and wave goodbye.
