Our homework was to pick a six letter word and use it out of context to create a new meaning for the word. The word I chose was "lethal" and here is how I chose to display it out of context:
The word lethal means harmful or destructive. Typically, when I think of the word "lethal" I think of lethal injections or weapons of mass destruction.
The photo on the left shows a teenage girl (in this case, me) looking into a mirror at her reflection. In front of the mirror is makeup along with some brushes used to apply makeup. I chose to portray lethal in this way in order to show that the media's portrayal of beauty and the pressure to use makeup can be very destructive to a girl's self esteem.
The photo on the right shows a teenage girl (again, me) sitting at her desk with her laptop open to her FaceBook page while simultaneously looking at her phone, all while trying to read her textbook. This gives the word lethal a new meaning, because these distractions are very destructive to our study habits.
