Read the quotation by Dorothea Lange about the photo “Migrant Mother” from Years of Dust.
I saw and approached the hungry and desperate mother, as if drawn by a magnet. I do not remember how I explained my presence or my camera to her, but I do remember she asked me no questions. . . . I did not ask her name or history. She told me her age, that she was thirty-two. She said that they had been living on frozen vegetables from the surrounding fields, and birds that the children had killed. She had just sold the tires from her car to buy food. There she sat in that lean-to tent with her children huddled around her, and seemed to know that my pictures might help her, and so she helped me. There was a sort of equality about it.
Now, read an excerpt about the photo from Years of Dust.
Lange, the children recalled, had promised not to publish the photo, but had done exactly that. It appeared on March 10, 1936, in the San Francisco News, above First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt's weekly "My Day" column. Thompson saw the picture and felt betrayed. For the rest of her life, she resented Lange's use of her image for publicity. Thompson was an active woman, who had helped organize farmworkers' unions. "She was a very strong woman," said daughter Katherine, seen in the photo by her mother's right shoulder. "She was a leader. I think that's one of the reasons she resented the photo—because it didn't show her in that light."

How do these two accounts differ?

Respuesta :

Answer:

The first account was written in the first person perspective of Lange as he approached Thompson and saw her struggling with her children to survive.

Lange describes Thompson as a resilient woman who sold her car tyres to feed with her children. They depended on birds the children killed for food. She agreed for him to take pictures because she believed it will benefit both of them. She asked no questions and told him only her age.

From the second account, she finds her picture in the news and felt betrayed because as her children recalled, Lange promised not to publish it. She resented Lange for using her picture for publicity. Her children were of the opinion that she did not like the picture that was published because it didn't portray her as the leader she was.

The accounts differ because the first one told the story of how the woman agreed for her picture to be taken and told her story freely but the second account said something different. The second account said Lange promised not to publish the picture and that the picture did not depict the woman as the leader she was but portrayed her in her vulnerable state.

Answer:

The first account was written in the first person perspective of Lange as he approached Thompson and saw her struggling with her children to survive.
