"Farm Security Administration/Office of War Information Black-and-White Negatives." School, Shop, Church and Community Building. Gee's Bend, Alabama. Web. 30 Nov. 2015. <http://www.loc.gov/pictures/resource/fsa.8c10010/?co=fsa>.
Wolcott, Marion. School, Shop, Church and Community Building. Gee's Bend, Alabama. 1939. Library of Congress, Gee's Bend, Alabama.
In the photograph, "School, shop, church, and community building."(above) I saw that picture was very similar to the city, Maycomb, in the novel, To Kill a Mocking Bird. I know this because in the book the city was described as small and as well as this city apppears in the picture. I also saw that in this community that there was not a lot of people because it shows about 20 to 30 people outside. Another observation I made was that there is no paved roads just dirt. This commmunity also seems a bit isolated because I do not see any other building around it.
This photograph and the way Maycomb is described in the book resemble each other. I know this because in the book it says, "There was no hurry, for there was nowhere to go, nothing to buy and no money to buy it with, nothing to see outside the boundaries of Maycomb County." This shows how Maycomb was isolated and was small. This piece of the text can relate to the picture because in the picture there is not much to see because it is very small and isolated. At the end, I was able to make the realization that this photograph is very similar to the way Maycomb is described in the book.
