I chose this photo to reflect the thematic motif of piverty because it resembles how happy people can be despite their circumstances. For example, in Sandra Cisneros novel “The House on Mango Street,” Esperanza and her friend Meme Ortiz host the “First Annual Tarzan Jumping Contest”(Cisneros 22). Although the backyard is a mostly dirt and has start boards lying in a heap, Esperanza and Meme find use of the things they have, like the tree, and Ouse it to have fun. They don’t look at the ugliness of their surrounding, but look instead at the beautiful things and make the most children. The children in the photo, like Esperanza and Meme, don’t look at the poverty surrounding them, but look at the foand in front of them and are thankful for it. I believe that when you sour round yourself with friends your are both in poverty, you don’t sulk or feel sorry for yourself as much as you would without friends.
