The reaction from two photos

These pictures' main subjects are children. Both photos depict children's expression or reaction of that time. The first photo is called "Village School" by Margaret Bourke-White who was the only female photographer at that time. The other photo is called "Children's Puppet Theatre, Paris 1963" by Alfred Eisenstadt who was famous for his story-telling photo skill. I'd like to explain the features of these photos and the difference between two pictures such as mood, facial expression, and brightness.
In the first picture, you notice that this picture was taken at the class room. The mood is dark and strict. They look serious as they were taking a lecture or a teacher was scolding to them. When seeing this photo with other point of view, they weren't close enough to be friend. Maybe, this photo was taken in the very beginning of the semester. Most of them keep their eyes on the photographer and some of them barely show their facial expression. Also, most of them wear dark colored clothes, so their face is really stick out. All of them are boys, sitting in a row with an order.
The children in the second picture are lively. Conjecturing from the title of the photo, they were watching a puppet show. There are boys and girls. Their facial expressions vary greatly, if you see one by one. Some of them were frightened, amazed, or shocked. They are gathering in front of the stage without an order. The focus of this photo is the very front of the children and other children who are in the background aren't clear enough to feel their emotion. Also, the background of the picture is bright.
As I explained in the two body paragraph, there are some differences in these photos. First, the moods are totally different. One is sullen and the other is energetic. We can notice that in their face or the background of the photo. Second, the facial expressions in the subjects also are distinguishable. One is strict and the other is active, which mean we can feel what they feel in the second photo, but we hardly get the feeling of what's going on the first photo. Finally, the brightness of the background is dissimilar. One is dark and the other is bright.
To sum up, the subject of two photos is children; however, there are distinctions between the two. The atmosphere of the photos differs greatly, the children's facial expressions are distinct, and the brightness of the photo is different. When I first saw the pictures, I found out those differences at first. Eventually, I noticed that no matter the subject in the photo the impression from the photos can vary because of the setting or technics.
