What other notes do you need to write about this book to help in writing your essay?
Baker reveals much more about race and ethnicity as significant means of interpreting the world we live (Baker 5). Other notes required to write about the book that will assist in writing the essay include gender, race, ethnicity, and sexual orientation. Besides, notes about the cultural background of the characters in the book are essential and, thus, need to be written since culture is responsible and is attributed to ethnicity and race. Culture is used to indicate or represent the way of life of individuals that means it is the manner in which groups of people do things. Different cultures are contained by distinct groups of people. More often than not, membership of an ethnic group is defined by ancestry, shared cultural heritage, language or dialect, physical appearance, history and symbolic systems like myths, religion and dressing style.
Data Analysis
From the data presented above, it is apparent that white or Mexican people dominate the ethnic and racial groups with white-Russian least dominating. With these said the book could have been authored by either of the two teams. Furthermore, boys are observed to dominate the category of gender which means that they were used to play crucial roles and responsibilities in the book. Most individuals in the book are dressed poorly with some of them carrying simple working equipment and tools. With these said, it can be deduced that most of the people seen in the pictures are coming from lower social class. Sexual orientation is not represented in the images as there is no representation of same sex or opposite sex attraction. Approximately 94.1 percent of the people counted in the book have no disability as they are exposed to good environment thus normal body and standard height. However, 5.9 percent of the people are captured as disabled implying that the group of individuals could be exposed to an unhealthy environmental condition.

What other notes do you need to write about this book to help in writing your essay?
The cultural notes are useful in expanding the information on this book. The cultural aspect is evidenced in the dressing mode of the people pictured. The women wear long and big dresses that hide the body shape (Baker 14). Their scarves also wholly cover their heads and ears. The notes on religious background of the characters are another critical point that should be written to enrich the quality of essay about the book. It can be seen that the people are affiliated with particular modes of dressing and culture, which is suspected to be associated with specific religious values such as Hindus, Muslim, Paganism, and Christianity.

Data Analysis
Based on the data presented above, the Mongloid/Asian ethnicity is the majority racial group composing of approximately 71.4 percent of the total number of people captured in the book. The white/American individuals are about 28.6 percent of the total number of people counted in the book. The equal numbers of people are observed to have feminine and masculine features with one person gender neutral. However, there is a good percent of gender ambiguity due to challenge in identifying the sex of infant carried by their mothers. All the images could only be classified as belonging to one social class that is the middle class. One case of heterosexuality is observed whereby a man is seen next to a woman with kids. All the pictures are observed to be individuals who are able-bodied since they can walk and stand. Concerning culture, all the seven individuals are represented to be dressed in the traditional mode of dressing with men having long-sleeved shirts and women wear long dresses and scarves that cover the ears and head.

According to Cross (17), the characters in the book are involved in various economic and small business operations. The aforementioned can be taken into consideration particularly when exploring the diversity of the social class of individuals. Besides, the members of the family that have different roles should be noted, so that false information regarding the sociological aspects including sexual orientation and ethnicity are not wrongly described.
Data Analysis
Based on the data presented above, it is evident that Negroid/Americans are the most common characters in the book. Blacks/Africans precede this category. The light skins Caucasian/Mexican are least characters in the book “Humor in Contemporary Junior Literature.” Regarding gender, the characters are equally distributed among the boys/men, girls/women, and gender neutral. In this case, no ambiguity was observed that is to mean no sex could be told. The middle social class, however, has dominated over the lower social group. The lower social classes wear simple dresses and are physically struggling with work. Heterosexuality is represented by individuals who show intimacy by learning on the shoulders of the other. In this regard, there is no representation of opposite sex attraction. All the characters are physically able with no single disability observed.

The other notes that are needed write the book is the age group. The people pictured in the book fall under the young, middle-aged, and the adult age groups (Coles et al. 5). Besides, there is also a need to have notes on the cultural background of these people. This will assist the writer to capture some of the most important philosophical exploration of the characters’ cultural beliefs and even practices. Moreover, taking into consideration the cultural outfit of the communities or the people in the book would also enable the writer to establish the course and reasons of philosophical inquiry, especially with culture and region.
Data Analysis
Several conclusions can be made from the qualitative and quantitative data presented above. The first inference is that the white/American ethnicity dominates in the pictures with approximately 80 percent of the images. The White/Americans are represented to have white hair and as well the white body. On the other hand, one dark-skinned dark-haired individual is a black/American. Regarding gender, 40 percent of the people observed in the pictures are boys/men with trimmed hair who wearing trousers and have muscular bodies.

All the five people in the book are physically fit and attending to their normal activities.

What other notes do you need to write about this book to help in writing your essay?
Other significant notes that should be included in the book are the religion and the culture. Religion is the combination of processes, principles, values, norms, customs, traditions, attitudes, and blind faiths. Culture relates to all these but it changes with time. The worshiping style of the people pictured in the book depicts the Hindu religion (Dahl 21). In fact, currently, the philosophy of culture is closely related to that of the religion and also helps in the establishment of people’s identities. Besides, there is also the need to include the notes on the culture. A traditional code of dressing is evidenced. All these together will significantly help in enriching the quality and overall content of the essay.

According to Golden, Joanne, and Annyce (38), it is evidenced that people pictured in the book fall in different age groups. As a result, the notes on the age group are essential for writing the essay about this book. The age group includes an adult and the children with the young being the majority. Furthermore, age group determines various sexual orientation as well as gender physical appearance. Therefore, taking detailed notes on the age group will eventually help the writer to give a clear picture of the grouping of the characters into each of the anthropological and sociological divisions.

Data Analysis
Twenty eight people are pictured in the book. 14 of the pictures are black/American, which constitutes approximately 46.4 percent of the total individuals in the publication. The white/American category is the least with 25 percent of individuals. Regarding gender, boys/men are observed to dominate the class of gender meaning that they are used to play indispensable responsibilities and roles in the book. The feminine group is approximately 42.9 percent and are less active and wear skirts and full dresses. The gender that could not be told and gender-neutral was not represented in the pictures. The number of individuals who cannot afford shoes and do play barefooted is high thus are an indication that most people pictured in the book are lower social class individuals. Roughly 25 percent of the photographed people are an upper social class who live in mansions. Heterosexualism governs the relationships among people as we can see women and men eating from one bowl. All individuals are physically active and can run or walk thus indicating no disability. Regarding the age group, it can be deduced that most individuals are adults who take part in physical business operations.
