Quickwrite 3/30/15

What’s going on in this picture? Look closely at the image above or view it in a <a href="http://graphics8.nytimes.com/images/2015/03/29/learning/VTS03-30-15LN/VTS03-30-15LN-superJumbo.jpg">larger size</a>, then tell us what you see by posting a comment. On Tuesday, we will reveal more about the image and its origins at the bottom of this post.

This picture is placed in the 1980's and the children are having baby stroller races. As you can see in the picture, these children look as if they are running, and there is a man in black with a microphone thing in his hands. Almost everyone in the picture seems excited, and they look as if they are cheering on the kids. Also, one of the adults looks like he is helping a child start out ("What's Going on in this Picture?", The Learning Network). The children running represents the race that I described, and the man in black represents the person that is announcing the events. I can tell that the picture is placed somewhere in the 1980's because of the way that the people dressed. All of the woman and girls are wearing dresses, and the men are all wearing suit like clothing.
