POVERTY!!!


What is my image of poverty? Poverty to me really depresses me. Seeing the lives of children not playing with each other, not thinking about school, and can't even play with a toy is crazy. Sometimes Mothers can't even take care of their own children, its so sad to me. Thinking of poverty seems to me as low income, people that can't even get a job to take care of their children. I just want to understand what these people go through everyday.

What does poverty look like to you, physically? How does the image you found match that of your mind's eye?

It's interesting that you mention an impoverished mother's care for her children. How do you think the mother in this photograph is represented? What does the photo tell you about motherhood? What does it you about poverty?

Why does this picture remind you of poverty?

Do you think depression is worst for women or men now and back then during the taking of this picture?
