TKAM Picture Analysis

                                                                                                                                     

                                                                                                 Lauderdale County, Alabama Tennessee Valley Authority

                                                       Julien H. Case looking over some of his cattle


Observation: 

    What I see in this picture is a older man in a very large field full of cattle. He is smoking a pipe which is not that common to do today. It also seems to be a nice summer day either in the early morning or in the later afternoon due to the shadows of the trees. 

Reflect:

This man in the field looks like he is part of the lower class due to his close he wears. He is probably owner of the land because usually the owner of the land is the one who works it. The cows are probably for food for the owner, selling the meat to get money, or for milk and its dairy products. Because of the clouds and the shadows I can tell that it is a nice bright day. He might also be stressed or board because when I know that people usually smoke because they are stressed or board. 

Questions: 

Why is the man watching over his cattle? Whey is he smoking? Is the land his? What kind of living conditions, Is he raising the cow for there milk or meat? What time of day is it? How many cows are there, How much land does he own, Where does he live?

Could It be Maycomb county:

After I looked over the photo I found out that it could the farm land that Maycomb has. Its could be the same because most likely since Maycomb is a large agricultural based town is must have large properties with animals.  Also because lots of people work in the farms the wont have as nice clothes just like the man in the picture. On last similarity is that people usually dont smoke pipes anymore and were used a lot more during the great depression and TKAM is also based during the great depression.
