Dorothea Lange's Migrant Mother photographed in 1936 has become an icon of the Great Depression. Even without knowing the historical context of the photograph, Lange successfully evokes emotion in the audience. The woman's expression on her face evokes a sense of sadness and dispair but somehow manages to depict strength and endurance at the same time...I suppose put more simply, her face evokes a sense of struggle. In addition to the woman's expressive face, her children are laying on her and hugging her--they're perhaps crying--they're perhaps just seeking the love of their mother at a difficult time...Either way, the children laying on the woman expresses the comfort and warmth of maternal love as well as the innocence and helplessness of childhood.

        i think it is referred as the 8th wonder of the world because each of the terra cotta warriors was not the same. they each had many things with their physical stature, like different height, armor, and different characteristics, which were all different. what makes it interesting is that there were 8,000 soldiers in that tomb. so making that many soldiers for the emperor meant a-lot to the emperor. it means that their is strength in numbers now matter how different.
