Life is basically summarized in two parts: living life as poor or enjoying it as rich. People, who are born in a poor family, dream with changing their social status while fighting every day for a better job and trying even harder to get more opportunities than they were born with. On the other hand, rich people dream with having more than what they already have. People with money compete among themselves because the more they have, the richer they seem. The image above has a clear meaning on it, and anyone is able to see it. An interpretation of the visual text is that no matter how people live their lives or how much money they make or spend, and that no matter the amount of material possession after death, and it could be expressed through the color, shapes and lines, and what those elements mean throughout the picture.

The majority of humans spend all their life trying to become a better person, such as someone more educated, richer and recognized by others. In order to achieve those ideals people sacrifice what is really important, such as time for themselves and their families. People have different values, the rich people's priority is become richer, and poor people's priority is the family, this could be supported by the women in purple who is hugging a child while is playing with another one. 

The picture does not say how rich become rich, and why the poor are poor, because there are many ways to belong either lifestyle. Getting good jobs, good education, but what the picture does is use a horizontal and vertical line in order to transform the whole picture into a comparison table which allow the viewer analyzes both lifestyles. 

The first picture is a wealthy person's house, and colors tell why it is an expensive house. Yellow in this case represents brightness, so it is clearly seen that the house has all its lights on which means that energy is not a problem for anyone who lives in there. The blue of the sky can tell that there is a good weather in that specific time. Green is wealth, but is this case represents a beautiful and well maintained grass which is around the luxury house. 

Color is also important to define the poor's house, which is the first one at the right. The black color denotes darkness, and through the door it could be seen that the interior of the house in completely dark, which could mean that there is not energy service in the house. The gray of the floor in front and behind the house expresses that absence of a clean and good quality area, and this could cause health issues to people in the zone. The green of the small green area is not bright at all, so the grass could be contaminated or dirty because of the constructions close to the houses.

Shapes are also important elements to have in mind while interpreting a visual text. In the rich's house, there are a variety of shapes that define the house. The squares and rectangular shapes represent the levels of the house, in this case those shapes form a three floor house. There are also two types of roofs: one of them is made with triangles which is the most used to draw a roof. These two roofs are over two different parts of the house, and they are long due to they go from the second floor to the attic. The other kind of roof is made in arc way, which means the structure was made by professionals due to putting all these shapes together a rich knowledge in construction is needed. There is another shape in the image: a cubic square which represent the chimney. It could be inferred that the house has everything everyone can expect. 

The poor's house is constructed with basic and common shapes. Simple squares and triangles represent the house, the square is the basically the whole space in the house, and the triangle is its roof. It is a simple construction, and it could be told that the people who live there construct the house by themselves. Behind the fragile houses there are an amount of squares and rectangles that represent high buildings, and there are some that represent unfinished buildings, so this means that there is a construction going on. With a construction in process, noise and dust are caused not letting poor people have a quiet life.

Lines are other element people can use in order to analyze any visual text. In the picture with the luxurious house there are many line around the whole structure. Those lines are completely straight and long, which means represent one full piece of any material. Lines draw columns, beams, windows, and borders. Whole pieces represent stability and firmness, besides they make the house look much more aesthetically beautiful.

The walls of the houses in the poor's house are formed by many disoriented lines, this because the pieces are not big enough to turn them into an entire wall, so people have to take small pieces, which is the only things people can get, and connect the parts altogether to make an unstable wall. The lines at the walls has something of perspective, that means that the wall is not completely straight, and that there are part of wood out of the structure, which could cause an accident to people who walk close to the house.

The two picture at the bottom are exactly the same and because of color, shape and lines, these images represent graves, which is basically part of the message of the picture as a whole. The holes are in middle of the grass because of the green around it, and the brown color is what shows that the hole is already excavated. Lines form the rectangular shape of the grave, exact shape to place a coffin, place where everyone one day will live eternally.

In conclusion, the complete picture shows that there are two different types of houses where people can live, and color, shapes and lines help viewer interpret the things that make the difference. No matter how straight the lines of the house are, no matter how perfect the shapes that build the structure are, and no matter how bright the color is around, life finalize the everyone's life stage in the same way; death, without caring what they did or what not.
