Top-100 photos


1. I chose this photo because I think it shows what the past was before we were here in the Great Depression. What caught my eye was the children in the back hiding behind the mother In the photo, they had very little food to survive.
2.I read about about these people lived and that this lady was called the Migrant Mother also her real name Florence Owens Thompson and she would sell her tires on her guy in trade for food for her kids. The kids would also learn how to hunt and shoot down birds to eat. Also the farms crops froze and there was no jobs for the homeless pickers.
3.I learned that there father died from tuberculosis and the mother and children were forced off their land and had no protection no one. A couple years later she was found in California in a trailer park she was 75 years old.

Photo 2

1.I chose this photo because you don't really know what's going on until you read the story. This caught my eyes by a little girl and a women falling in the air from a building.
2.What I read was there was a fire a there was no escape so the 19 year old  Diana Bryant, and her goddaughter Tiare Jones who was 2 years old. Diana fell first and ended up dying because she landed so hard on the ground but her goddaughter fell on the women and survived. they tried to not let the little girl see her godmother died.
