Answer:
The message from back of the photo suggests that Ben and Jamal must be Martha's family, and asking Martha not to give up on what they've got together as a family.
Step-by-step explanation:
'Martha, Martha' is a short story written by Zaddie Smith. The story is about a young girl aged twenty-two, named Martha. Martha is looking for rented apartment and when Pam shows her an apartment of Yousef and Amelia, her behavior changes seeing a family-husband, wife, and a baby girl.
She rushes to bathroom and sees a photograph of a grinning, long-lashed boy of about eighteen months old and a young black man. On the back of the photograph was written a poem from Ben and Jamal. The poem gives the readers hint that Martha may have a family, which includes Ben and Jamal. And, Ben and Jamal are asking Martha to not give up on what they have. The poem also suggests that Martha have many dreams which can be interpreted as that Martha might have left her family to fulfil her dreams.
