Answer:

The image of a worried but resilient mother was so powerful that it prompted the government to send 20,000 pounds of food to relieve starvation in a migrant worker camp. It may have also helped inspire John Steinbeck's literary classic The Grapes of Wrath.

Explanation:

From the moment it first appeared in the pages of a San Francisco newspaper in March 1936, the image known as “Migrant Mother” came to symbolize the hunger, poverty and hopelessness endured by so many Americans during the Great Depression.

In 1936 Florence Thompson allowed Dorothea Lange to photograph her family because she thought it might help the plight of the working poor. One of them, Migrant Mother, became the iconic photo of the Depression, and one of the most familiar images of the 20th century.

"Trickle-down": supply-side economics creates tax cuts for the wealthy. 

Supply-side economics suggests tax cuts for the wealthy. Those tax cuts will be used to create new jobs. New jobs will give more money to the middle-class. 

This economic policy makes sense in theory and in some cases the tax cuts resulted in more jobs and higher wages. However, mostly it led to a large gap in wealth as the wealthy kept the money instead of reinvesting in jobs and wages. Eventually as the US moved industry overseas, tax cuts for the wealthy meant the expansion of jobs overseas instead of American jobs. Meanwhile the middle-class pay higher taxes to make up for the loss of taxes from the upper class.

In what way is the Holy Land an important site for all three monotheistic faiths?
ololo11 [35]
<span>The holy land is an important site for all three monotheistic faiths because it is mostly where the houses and buildings of worship for their religions are. For example, the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, which is where Jesus was crucifixion, burial, and resurrection. The Cave of the Patriarchs in Hebron, a cenotaph, or empty tomb, stands over the place where Abraham is believed to have been buried, or The Green Dome of Al-Masjid al-Nabawi mosque rises above Medina where Muhammad and his followers once took refuge.</span>
