Hey Kaeli,
Thanks for taking the time to do this.
Here are both photographs you mentioned. The first is the famous Migrant Worker photograph. It really is a stunning photograph. Not only is it a great image but this image single handedly brought attention to the dire situation! It literally changed peoples lives!

It really is amazing how well kids can cope with horrible environments.
We’re so resilient as people!
If you’re also interested in photographs of unhappy children you must look at this:

What do you think about that?
Keep this assignment in mind going forward. Remind yourself of why you’re even interested in photography. If you’re still not totally clear on that it’s ok. But the more clarity you have the more you will be inspired to produce great work!
See you on the next assignment!
