Mintis nuklysta aštuonerius metus atgalios, interaktyviuosius klodus, traškią, škrabią ir šarmotą žiemą:

2. Beware of Dad: 1909

March 1909. Hartford, Connecticut. Tony Casale (also called "Bologna"), eleven years old. Been selling four years. Sells until 10 P.M. sometimes.

"Rehabilitation" šiame kontekste - Didžiosios depresijos laikų skurdo mažinimo programa, kuomet smulkūs bėdžių sklypeliai būdavo sukilojami į vieną vietą, suformuojami didesni bendros žemės arimai, siekiant užtikrinti didesnį ūkio našumą, ir būtent taip pamėginti bėdžius ištraukti iš nepritekliaus.

Savotiška kolektyvizacijos forma.





16. Lacy and Savannah: 1908

November 1908: Gastonia, North Carolina. Lacy, 12 years old, and Savannah, 11. Have worked two years. Father said "The little one is a crackerjack on spinnin', at least so the boss says. She ain't satisfied unless in the mill. The oldest one isn't so good at it. Not as quick." (Note the tense, serious looks on the younger. Older one more like a real girl.)

Totalus žvilgsnis.
