This picture shows
the reality of child labor in this world. It is showing a boy that just finished
working the mine. He probably was forced to work to raise money to support his
family since there was not that much back then. The American Dream was not
possible because in the picture the boy is dirty and has a rope around his neck.
The rope is a part of his tools
from working in the mines(Hines).
