This is my presentation that I made in class about the photographer Dorothea Lange and her famous picture called Migrant Mother made in 1939.

Martin Luther King was a famous activist who organised this meeting to reivindicate about the treatment of black people. This speech is known as “I have a dream” he made the speech at the end of the march in Washington, the 20th August 1963. The object of this speech was to complain about the abuse of afroamericans and to demand justice and freedom of the rights of the citizens. It is a profound and hopeful speech. I have chosen this photo because it was a very important moment for the afroamericans in the USA to get rid of racism.

Aerial shot:  In this photo  the  person who takes this  picture wants to show the  view and the form of the canoes from the  sky. Eye level shot: The photograph wants to express the proximity of the two little girls. Wide shot: I think that in this photo the person who takes the picture wanted to show the beauty of the views. Low angle: In this picture the photographer decided to make it in this angle because this way the girl looks strong and powerful. High angle:  This photo   is made high to show the form of the staircase

This film beggins when the main character was a little boy and he saw his father pointing a gun at his mother and he took the gun from his father and threathened him. It was from that moment that he decides he didn’t want to use weapons. Later, he went into the army beacouse he wanted to help people and be a doctor. When he was in the army they compelled him to use weapons but he refused. A few months later he went to war but they were losing so they retreated, but when all the soldiers had gone he stayed to help the injured soldiers. Finally he saved eighteen soldiers without using a weapon. They return to attack againg and they won.
