Launching the Imagination: pg 149-176

My favorite part of this reading is on page 166. Figure 8.18 shows a photograph by Margaret Bourke-White entitled "At the Time of the Louisville Flood." This picture depicts a line of people who appear to be in line at some sort of shelter. They are standing in front of a mural that depicts a happy family and reads "World's Highest Standard of Living" and "There's no way like the American Way." Clearly, this piece is meant to be ironic as the people in the picture are in a very different scenario than the family depicted in the mural.
