THE GREAT DEPRESSION

It's amazing how a picture can describe the emotions of a person. Dorothea Lange's photos show desperation, pain and suffering of the people during the Great Depression. During this period of time the majority of people were living with no quality of life, people were really rich or really poor, there wasn't a middle class. For the poor people the situation was very extreme, they were living in the poorest neighborhoods, and from the pictures you can see the sadness and the desperation of the mothers. When I saw the pictures I felt all the emotions. The mothers were concern about how they were going to feed their children and they were desperate and extremely worried about the situation.

I think that the Great Depression was a very unfair time because there were a few people with a lot of money and a lot of people with no money at all.
