Feelings through Pictures

The immigrants that where coming to America must have been scared. Scared of leaving everything they knew behind them, scared of having to start over and not knowing what to expect. They would have also feelt ansious to begin there new lifes.

Life as a worker

For this workers life was more than likely very hard. Having to work more than anyone els to be able to buy something to eat. Yet it didn't matter how much they would work the money was never enough. They hade to work unimaginable hours and where abused at the work place. Probably lived in a small apartment with atleast five people. Always tired and bearly ever slept. Thats what I think life for this workers must have been like.

Picture

In the picture it shows the cowboys all gathered around the wagon. This was commond for them. It showes them in a realax enviroment when they were not worrying about the long trip ahead of them. They were spending a time together as a familie. Probably eating, chatting and having some fun together.
In this other picture it shows a couple of cowboys tying down a calf. They did this to eat or to mark them as theres. It could also be showing them practicing how to hold down a small calf without hurting them.Knowing how to hold down a small calf was important in order to be able to give them medicen when needed or even to trade them with mershances.
In this last picture shows a humble family gathered around the dinning table.There nicely dressed wich probably means that it is a special event. It could also be that there having a Sunday dinner after going to church.
