When looking at this image, you are able to see just how much their lives have affected them.  We can see that the American dream is not lived through this family due to their condition. We know that the dream was inspired for people to come to a land that offered greatness, wealth, and health to those who seek it. It is not represented through this image as they are living in a tent with no provision arises. We can see that they don't have a house or anything with stable walls or a roof. This is a contrast to what they could be here for, as at the time the American Dream was taking shape and this image is the true representation of the Dream for some.
By looking at the image, we are able to see that the income is very minimal. We see no man in the photo which means that he could be working or he is not here.



Looking at this image, I would see it being incredibly lonely. It seems that there is nothing surrounding them, no people or cities, it's just them. This allows the audience to become a little more appreciative of what it is that they have. They have a lack of socialism, as they have nobody to interact with, nothing in the image is proving to me that there is anything showing them about any other people in local cities. There are no advertisements for them to see and no roads of trail roads for others/them to access.
Their shelter/house is a small ruined camp tent made from what looks like grain bags and cotton sheets. They have a very small provisional case as we can see, that looks like it contains everything they own, from clothes to any personal items.
