for the image on the first page I wrote that it showed like sort of the "beautiful elements of nature" whatever that means with like animals and fishes and tree and two people holding hands together (one seemed older than the other) so like the older and the younger generation need to work together to help the enviornment

omg no way

one could have just been a dwarf (idk if that term
 is offensive)

And encountering conflict : it had the same meaning as "taking sides in conflict" right??

Essentially, yes.

Though you should have had a little bit in your introduction to make the focus more on choosing sides than not involving yourself, even if you wanted to. There were more implications of the prompt, but thats fine if you arrowed it down to some specifics; there's no set response for context - you can twist it to your own liking, within reason.


EDIT:
I did this - opened with a quote from Dante Alighieri, the Italian Middle Ages poet: "The hottest places in hell are reserved for those who, in times of great moral crises maintain their neutrality."

Then a sentence saying that by being a bystander you are effectively taking no responsibility over the circumstance. Then a rhetorical question: "So, then, must we not only consider the difficulty of remaining a bystander, but also the morality of doing so?" Continued talking about how standing aside is appropriate with others' personal matters, but if there is some form of oppression, imposed on either you or someone who you could help it was your moral obligation to assist these people. (tied the asylum seekers example into my body related to this - On Sep 1st 80 asylum seekers broke out of the Darwin immigration detention centre, pushing through 2 electric fences to do so, and finally sitting on a nearby roof. For these people it was an opportunity to get their case publicised, an opportunity to bring about reform for the deplorable treatment of asylum seekers by Australia. bla bla bla....

frankly, yes. There is a requirement to analyse the visual(s) in some way to an appropriate extent.

EDIT EDIT: No, you shouldn't be disadvantaged significantly as you did analyse an image - I thought that you were saying you left out BOTH images...

Honestly, i think it will make a bit of a difference because it was quite important and the image was very strong with the whole its all in our hands bs

what you you guys this will lose a mark. Two mates were arguing after the exam. Not including the first LA visual, leaving the writers name out completely.

that is true, personally i thought the second image was more important than the first as it really reinforces Lees contention.
although the quality of the rest of your essay may save you, also how you analysed the first image (=
failed uni

The first visual probably ISNT worth that much
if you have good content then i doubt it.

The persons name is pretty important I THOUGHT ANYWAY

I did the same
I spoke abotu first how fear changed anna - this was a positive change
2nd para - how michael changed for - his beliefs like what he did and everything he asked for the village was wrong towards the end after elinor died
3rd para - how fear was in everyone in the village as they started to turn on each
