  1. I noticed that the man is really big. I think it is Theodore Roosevelt because he was the president.

    2. i think it is because the picture was taken up close and the little man is probably not that small. he could just be far away.

  6. I noticed that the picture is Teddy Roosevelt and he is bigger than every thing else because he was the main person during the panama canal, the small man is a british man on a mountain. -ZAC LESTER
