Oh, look! There's a story here, but what are all these people saying or thinking? We can't tell according to the picture, but we might get a clue by looking at the way they are standing. I see four with their arms crossed. Is it with impatience? Anger? Or something else?
I see two with hands folded in front of them. One with hands in his pockets. Three carrying some sort of bag. Two with arms at their sides. But, I still don't know what the story is or what they are saying. Maybe even what they are thinking.
So, how about using this picture as a writing exercise. Do one, or more, of the following:
A. Write a few words that each person is saying or thinking that would go in the cloud above their head.
B. Create a situation to show why these people are standing together.
C. Address the group as though you were a teacher, a boss, or a Dorm Assistant.
D. Write a complete story showing why these people are standing in a group and what they are waiting for.
E. Using the picture, write using as many sensory details as possible.
Take time to study the picture and the way each person is standing. That might give you some inspiration.
