Think of it this way. Imagine you and your brother are standing on opposite sides of a closed door. In the center of the door is a small hole. To see your brother's feet you would have to stand on your tiptoes and look down through the hole. To see his head you would have to bend down and look up through the hole. It's similar for all the points in between. In essence, you'd be constructing an image of him with his head at the bottom and his feet at the top (upside down). The pinhole camera works the same way only the pinhole is like the hole in the door and the film is like your eyes.

The light from the top of the candle has to travel downwards to get through the hole, and the opposite for the light from the bottom, turning it upside down.

Well kid, if you don't know that, you got to pay attention at school much better. Because the lightbeams from each point of the object coming towards your pin hole cam cross over in the focal point.

it show up side down because the lens of the camera is convex and it is very big in breath
