When I went to find an image, I wanted to find an image that focused on the impoverished people of the great depression.\u00a0 I found it using the library of congress link for \u201cFSA photographs\u201d in our resource guide.\u00a0 The image depicts two small children, one girl holding her little brother while in a cabin in Louisiana.\u00a0 The fact that these two were photographed together might signify that family sticking together was important in the 1930s due to the great depression.\u00a0 The fact that this was documented at all, just two children being together shows that not only family, but the youth of the nation could be an important aspect to American life, which is an aspect shown in other famous photographs, like \u201cMigrant Mother\u201d. <\/span>1<\/sup><\/a><\/span> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The historical question I was asking was \u201cHow can the government show the American people that despite being poor, they can still make it by working together?\u201d.\u00a0 This is an important question to ask, especially in this time period, as keeping America together, and hopeful was a very important aspect for the government\u2019s agencies. <\/span>2<\/sup><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The first method of annotating the image without glitching\nit or doing anything to it help me to think more critically of an image by\nreally focusing on what the creator intended, what the audience perceived, and\nby the setting this photograph was taken in. \nGlitching the image on the other hand helped me interpret the image in\nways that the average image couldn\u2019t. \nFor instance, by glitching it the way I did, it completely changed the\nmeaning I saw in the image, from one that was hopeful, to a hopeless one.  Personally, I like the first method more than\nglitching, as it can be very hard to find meaning in the complete randomness\nthat is glitching.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To me, this photo helps to show off that even small\nchildren stick together when times are tough for them, and so if they can do\nit, then so can we as the American people. \nWhile after glitching the image, I saw separation between the two rather\nthan unity.  Basically, by glitching the\nimage, I totally changed my view on how it can be interpreted.  <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
