The girl in the picture i loved to look at the old photographs, especially the ones with me in them. i suppose that was bad of me and proved i was stuck on myself, but i couldn't it. the pictures with me in them were just more interesting. every stage of my life was there, snapped by the camera and stamped on a glossy piece of paper. i loved seeing myself at three, standing with my brother, donald, in front of the house in our matching cowboy and cowgirl outfits, or standing on a chair in front of the kitchen counter, mixing a birthday cake for mother. the pictures reminded me that i was real, that i always had been real and always would be real, and that i wasn't just some girl someone had made up. which two statements best express themes in the passage? o self-focus can lead to being conceited. o photography is an important art form. o gratitude is a key to growth and happiness. o pictures are a way of remembering the past. o parents enjoy documenting their children's youth.
