In the early 1930s, Lange, mired in an unhappy marriage, met Paul Taylor, a university professor and labor economist. Their attraction was immediate, and by 1935, both had left their respective spouses to be with each other.
Over the next five years, the couple traveled extensively together, documenting the rural hardship they encountered for the Farm Security Administration, established by the U.S. Agriculture Department. Taylor wrote reports, and Lange photographed the people they met. This body of work included Lange’s most well-known portrait, “Migrant Mother,” an iconic image from this period that gently and beautifully captured the hardship and pain of what so many Americans were experiencing. The work now hangs in the Library of Congress.
As Taylor would later note, Lange’s access to the inner lives of these struggling Americans was the result of patience and careful consideration of the people she photographed. “Her method of work,” Taylor later said, “was often to just saunter up to the people and look around, and then when she saw something that she wanted to photograph, to quietly take her camera, look at it, and if she saw that they objected, why, she would close it up and not take a photograph, or perhaps she would wait until… they were used to her.”
"See Aztec Empire. The Aztecs used two different calendar systems, one with a cycle lasting 260 days and the other with a 365-day cycle. The 260-day calendar cycle, known as the tonalpohualli (counting of the days), was a sacred calendar used mainly by priests to predict the future.
"
There were Daykeepers that kept track of the days. I hope this helped.
how does the author succeed in promoting the reader's sympathy for the little girls? Mansfield evokes sympathy for the little kelveys. she sarcastically says they are "very nice company for other people's children!". she also describes the bedraggled, ragged clothing.
Anne Bradstreet uses inversion in "To My Dear and Loving Husband" so as to emphasize her emotions for her husband. There is no greater person in her life nor is there greater emotion on the earth for her and this is why she wants to emphasize her emotions.
I think: it creates a rhythmic pattern..
