Question

This photo, titled "Migrant Mother,” was taken during the Great Depression.

A portrait of Florence Thompson and three of her children.

Now, read a quotation by Dorothea Lange about the photo from Years of Dust.

I saw and approached the hungry and desperate mother, as if drawn by a magnet. I do not remember how I explained my presence or my camera to her, but I do remember she asked me no questions. . . . I did not ask her name or history. She told me her age, that she was thirty-two. She said that they had been living on frozen vegetables from the surrounding fields, and birds that the children had killed. She had just sold the tires from her car to buy food. There she sat in that lean-to tent with her children huddled around her, and seemed to know that my pictures might help her, and so she helped me. There was a sort of equality about it.

How does the quotation relate to the photo?

It tells a false story about the woman in the photo to persuade readers to take action.

It explains why the woman in the photo worked as an activist on behalf of farm workers.
