Dorothea Lange portrays how hard it was to be a farmer in the south during the depression. I feel i can heavily relate to this image coming from a background of all farmers dating back to the 1890's. The image above accurately shows how hard most Americans had to work just as a means to get by. For example many people find it "hard" to get out of bed before 8 am, but it is impossible to be put into the shoes of others. These people had to be up at 5am and ready to get to work all day til about 8pm, and this was no easy task; as they were tending to fields and crops. Dorothea Lange perfectly shows how difficult many Americans had it during the depression and how hard it was to manage to get by. Most of the people in her images are wearing torn clothing or look malnourished which were the effects of the poor conditions of the era.
