3 Thesis Statements

1.  In William Eggleston's Guide, the message of the importance of simplicity in life is portrayed throughout with the use of the pictures Eggleston has chosen; these photographs also lead the viewer into thinking about the social and cultural concerns of that time.

2. Photographs are appreciated differently by every viewer, and even by the photographer; Susan Sontag supports this by saying "Any photograph has multiple meanings; indeed , to see something in the form of a photograph is to encounter a potential object of fascination" (23).

3. By going through a book of photographs, such as William Eggleston's Guide, many lessons can be learned, especially that of simplicity; however, different people experience photographs in different ways and obtain different feelings from them.
