Bud Fields Home Analysis

Decent Essays
In the picture that I picked from of Bud Fields and his family from Hale County, Alabama. Everyone in the family picture seems helpless and dirty since they don’t have so much clothes to wear. In the picture everyone seem to share everything like the bed. It took place in Alabama during the summer in 1936. So I can’t imagine how hot the house was since they didn’t have no fans or anything the family seems miserable by it. The family probably had really nothing to eat or to shower from which they probably feel miserable by it. The toddler doesn’t have no clothes on so it shows how poor they are. The father look pretty weak and it looks like he has been working in the fields.The grandmother seem like she only does the cooking and the cleaning

    In the Stanley family’s case, Claude was hospitalized, out of work for two months, and slammed with high medical bills. It is a shame that a lot of people in a wealthy country like the United States were not covered by health insurance. It is a scary thought how a family would survive if the head of the household becomes sick, injured, and cannot or unable to work for weeks, months or even years. One of the important things that I noticed is the value of education and obtaining a degree. Having an education is a ticket to a decent and a well-paying job.…

    Exemplification Essay Walker Evans’s depiction of life and the people during the Depression of the 1930’s is forlorn, pessimistic, and defeated. A significant example of this is demonstrated in Mr. Evan’s “South Street, New York”, where he has photographed three men lounging around in front of a building. The mood of this photograph can only be described as forlorn, with the men appearing to be homeless because they are lying and sitting on cardboard and newspaper, which is commonly associated with homelessness. It could be said that it is pessimistic, because of the expression on the man in the far right's face, where he is staring dejectedly off into the distance, as though he is being tormented by perturbing thoughts. Some could also claim…

    Civil War Summary

    • 1002 Words
    • 5 Pages

    Images and discussions of the Civil War focus on the battles and the hardship back east. The burnt out husks of the Old South and bodies of soldiers lie strewn on the ground in black and white photos from the era. Movies romanticize large white columns and women in corallines swearing that they will never go hungry again. While school books will touch some on the Board War between Kansas and Missouri, they leave out the ripple effects of the war on the Indian Territory, and those who have been forced or chose to settle there. It may be that it is forgotten due it being hard to believe that there would be an embracing of more pressure in the already rough struggle to survive in this unforgiving environment.…

    William Faulkner, an author who was born in post-reconstruction Mississippi, is a classic American author who wrote both “A Rose for Emily” in 1930 and “Barn Burning” in 1939. Both of these short stories illustrate Faulkner’s writing style and personal beliefs. Both stories go to show how very different people can have very similar problems throughout their lives. However, these stories with different plots and characters also show the historical struggles citizens living in the southern states of America faced on a daily basis during this period. Faulkner wrote both of these stories to transpire in similar times, not long before the time Faulkner wrote them, which was known as The New South at this time.…

    Some people may say that “America is the land of opportunity”. Especially the Mexicans in the 1940s. America seemed to guarantee economic opportunity for them when their country could not. As described in the Weekly Reader’s article, “The Bracero Program”, during World War II the United States needed farmworkers to harvest crops and feed the nation since men were fighting in Europe and many women working in the industry. At the same time, the unemployment rate and crop failures were increasing in Mexico.…

    Fyffe House Analysis

    • 1668 Words
    • 7 Pages

    In the town of Kaikoura, New Zealand, a heritage building is located by the Kaikoura Peninsula, known as the Fyffe House. This area is well known for bringing in European settlers around the 1840s due to whaling, and it is the interest in whales that makes it still relevant for people today through the recreation of whale watching. It appears that the Fyffe House is the only physical evidence that reflects the time of European settlement in this region. Therefore, it should be explored how the building and its elements are able to represent the time it lived in, and also whether it made an impact to its local culture and surroundings by either adapting or altering the indigenous Oceania architecture. The region of Kaikoura has a rich history…
