Imagine you have two pictures of your best friend, and you want to know if they show him after two big problems happened in his life.
David Hogg is a real person who has been through some tough times. The question is asking: do these two pictures show what he looked like right after each of those problems?
Like Seeing Your Friend After a Big Fall
Think about when you fall off your bike. You might have a bruise, and you look different than usual. Now imagine that happens twice, once on Monday, and again on Wednesday.
If the two pictures show David Hogg after two separate crises, it would be like seeing him right after each of those big falls, one picture from Monday, and another from Wednesday.
Comparing Two Moments in Time
So instead of thinking about magic or something special, just think of it as comparing two moments in time, like looking at your friend before and after he got back up from falling off his bike twice.
Examples
- Someone compares photos of David Hogg before and after the Parkland shooting and another event.
