How does the quotation relate to the photo? It tells a false story about the woman in the photo to persuade readers to take action.

Depression-era photo subjects showed as much strength as suffering. Although the government used FSA photographs to prove its New Deal programs helped impoverished Americans, FSA photographers also sought to portray their subjects as strong, courageous people determined to survive tough times.

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.

How does this photograph affect your understanding of the “Migrant Mother” photograph or how it was taken? It makes the situation, more believable as it looks as though it’s just a Midwestern family just trying to survive in the middle of the drought and trying to make the best they can of things.

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. That’s a picture that’s certainly worth another thousand words.

What made the photo of the Migrant Mother so powerful? It made people feel sympathy for the migrants.

How did over speculation in the stock market endanger the economy? People who constantly kept check of prices in the stock market got people nervous and people started to sell their stocks in fear of losing all of their money, which caused the prices of stocks to decrease.

At that time, vacuum was also invented. Fuel was used for automobiles, such as cars and motorcycles.

The Tennessee Valley Authority

This law allowed the federal government to make low-cost loans to farmers who had banded together to create non-profit cooperatives for the purpose of bringing electricity to rural America.

The REA was terminated on October 13, 1994, with the passage of the Federal Crop Insurance Reform and Department of Agriculture Reorganization Act of 1994. Its functions were absorbed into the newly-created Rural Utilities Service [9].

The Rural Electrification Act of 1936, enacted on May 20, 1936, provided federal loans for the installation of electrical distribution systems to serve isolated rural areas of the United States.

The REA was created to bring electricity to farms. In 1936, nearly 90 percent of farms lacked electric power because the costs to get electricity to rural areas were prohibitive.

Signed by President Roosevelt on May 20, 1936, the Rural Electrification Act enabled the federal government to “make loans…for rural electrification and the furnishing of electric energy to persons in rural areas who are not receiving central station service.” To administer the loans and monitor the progress of rural …

REA

The REA also helped farmers develop assembly-line methods for electrical line construction with uniform procedures and standardized types of electrical hardware. The result was that more and more rural Americans could afford electricity. By 1950, 90 percent of American farms had electricity.

Many people in rural America lived that life until well into the 20th century. Most only received electricity by choosing to work together with their neighbors and participate in electrical cooperatives, or co-ops for short.

Many farm families did not receive electricity until well into the 1940s and 1950s. Nevertheless, the electricity made possible by the REA transformed rural life. It altered how people earned their livings, stored their food, washed their clothes, and illumined (lighted) their homes.

People timed their activities during daylight hours and seldom paid attention to clocks. What effect on rural lifestyles resulted from a lack of electricity in most homes? City governments began paying for professional fire departments instead of relying only on neighborhood volunteers.

Without electricity, that also means no fans or air conditioning, and no classes or study time during evenings as there is no adequate source of light. It also affects school attendance, as many children are burdened with the responsibility of collecting firewood or clean drinking water for their families.

Access to electricity is perceived to be a key requirement for poverty reduction by enabling the creation and improvement of income generating activities. The use of electricity was mainly for two purposes i.e. household consumption and commercial consumption.

We find that urbanization tends to increase landlessness of rural households and to reduce their farm income. However, urbanization helps rural households increase their wages and non-farm incomes. As a result, total income and consumption expenditure of rural households tend to be increased with urbanization.

Some of the positive implications of urbanization, therefore, include the creation of employment opportunities, technological and infrastructural advancements, improved transportation and communication, quality educational and medical facilities, and improved standards of living.
