#1 Different Perception Of the Same Situation
The two people in these cartoons are in trouble and praying to be rescued. The man stuck on the island has been waiting for a boat to come by and save him. He see the boat and becomes excited. The man in the boat has been floating around in search of land. When he sees the land, he is happy to get out of the boat. This just goes to show you how two people in the same situation can see the rescue completely differently.
#2 Negative and Positive Outlooks
Two different people can have a different view of the same picture. This cartoon shows that perfectly. The inmate on the left looked out the window and drew what he saw, the metal bars. The inmate on the left has a happier, more upbeat view of life. He ignored the metal bars that are keeping him incarcerated. This shows the different views that each convict has of their situation. The man who saw the bars has a negative outlook of his situation while the man on the right seems much more positive.
#3 The Upside Down Pineapple Cake

#9 Optical Illusion
The person on the left sees four sticks while the person on the left sees three. Each is correct, depending on the way that you look at the picture.
