This picture shows a child his and mother who have obviously been living in poverty. The mother works on a pea picking farm which had very low wages. Unfortunately, the crop for peas at that time was not productive. It is clear that they did not have enough money to support a family of seven. These people were not even living in a tent because they had to sell it in order to buy food. This picture shows how terrible some Americans’ lives were. Looking at the picture, you can see that stress and poor living conditions have taken a toll on the mother. She looks much older than her 32 years. It is obvious that the woman is very unhappy, and that her life is filled with worry.
