The Secret

1. At first glance, I had no idea what was going on with all the pictures. After reading a few I began to figure out what exactly the site was about and why there were a ton of random postcards all over it. At first I thought this may be another picture sharing site like fliker.

2. The pictures provided a bit of humor and in some cases, reality to the pictures. I saw the picture, then read the writing, which gave me a different view of what the author was trying to get across.

3. The  pictures are cool to look at by themselves, but it is the writing the brings the emotion to the postcard. Without the line about alcoholism, the postcard of an Arizona sunset would not be anything special to look at. The writing gives the pictures new depth and meaning, far greater than a simple picture can provide.

4. While the pictures were nice  to look at, the words were interesting and rewarding to read. While the pictures of the half-naked maid and Tom Hanks were funny, it was the postcards about alcoholism and anorexia that showed true emotion; you could really see the author pouring their heart onto the card in those.

This postcard is saying two different things in my opinion. On one hand, it is stressing the value of loyalty and never ending love. One the other hand, it shows the double or secret lives that so many of us live, hiding things from even the closest friends and relatives.
