The Great Depression in a Point of View- Isabel and Meaghan

The reason why we choose this picture is because it captures a point in history that changed peoples lives forever. We know that she just sold their tent and tires in order to provide food for her family. In there situation there are trading one basic need for another.
We think Lange wanted us to know how bad the situation was during the great depression in America. When we were looking at the pictures this caught our eyes because you see two young children and there young mother trying to get shelter from a long stick and tarp.
When we looked at the picture in great detail we got very little information about the photo so we assume that this mother has a lot of children and can't provide for them. They have very little and is living on scraps.
