Susan Sontag Questions

  • How can photography "demystify" the object being photographed?
  • How is it that things with different values have the same equality?
  • If beauty can be found in all things, how can you separate beauty from ugly?
  • What may be important to one person can be trivial to another, so it is the person who makes an object what it is rather than the object just being?
  • Why does Sontag include contradicting ideas so vigilantly? What side does she actually believe in: that everyone is the same or that everyone is different?
