![]() In this photograph, I see yet again, Three poverty-bound children, sleeping on a barrel at the bottom of a staircase. People : Three Poor Children. Activity : Sleeping. Objects : Staircase, Barrel, Woodchips. ![]() In this photograph, I see "bunks" made of most likely cheap material. I see what looks like heating/cooling or possibly plumbing pipes, running across the "bunks" from the surface (which makes me think this is in a basement/under the building's ground level). People : Nobody. Activity : Nothing. Objects : Pipes of some sort, Cheaply made bunks, and cement walls. ![]() In this photograph, I see three poverty-bound children, sleeping in what seems to be a heating vent. People : Three Poor Children. Activity : Sleeping. Objects : Building, Heating Vent, Children, Stripped Clothing, Trash cans. 2.) From looking at those photographs, I've come to conclude that the living conditions during that period of time, were harsh, and are defintely considered to be slums. I think in the pictures with the homeless children, they were most likely never going to, and/or never had attended school, meaning education is just a dream for them. 3.) A.) To be honest, I don't think they really wanted to live in these conditions, but they do what they need to do, in order to survive. They, usually denied jobs, education, and citizenship, had no way of making a fair pay. B.) I think these pictures defintely influenced people to help those in poverty. I think without journalism & photography, nobody would know the truth about 99% of just about anything. The only reason why these pictures are a key essential to "Reformation", is because they show poverty at it's darkest. |
