English 3 Trades FINAL
Living with Circumstances
The British man seen in this photo is
searching for a job in the streets and has written his abilities onto a
placard, The photo shows that the characteristics of the ‘Depression’ that had
begun in America was already seen worldwide. Also, we can tell that even those
who have high language abilities and business experience cannot find a job. The
situation in the U.K at the time must have been extremely desperate.
At the same time, the words he is
carrying on his back are slightly humorous. The national character of British
people shines through it. They will never lose their humour when enduring the
most unpleasant hardships. This ‘National brightness’ must have been what
enabled the British people to endure the attack by the Nazis without giving up
during WW2.
This photo gives an insight into the
misery of that time and also teaches us that even in such circumstances there
are people who want to be as bright and strong as possible in their lives. I
learned that with such cheerfulness, people will be able to live on through any
kind of situation. This is why I chose this picture to present to you.
