Someadores

Workers and poverty is the theme he feels that workers have sort of become part of the landscape and should receive more than they do

Good old desk

He is talking about god. Because I understood it was god it doesn't affect my understanding. "it's always there." "it's the one thing I've got" "it keeps my hopes alive"

Pinch of poverty

The author feels bad about poverty but hopeful because of the girl trying to overcome. He wants us to understand that you can make it out of poverty. The contrast of the girls flowers and the rest of the painting shows she could escape and the blurred lines of the baby and the mother show that poverty can create a cycle of poverty.

The Pearl 2

I knew this was coming (partially because I've already read the book) but also because this seemed like it was coming I hate that it had to have the baby die but I thought it would happen this book left me sad but I thought something like this would happen. I liked the book because it was depressing but at least, unlike Pygmalion, came to a completed feeling.
