Listening journal #2 and Art journal #1

Nostalgia: The desire for the good things in the past.

It makes me imagine an old ice cream parlor, with red and white walls, classic milkshakes, in the 1960's .

My childhood makes me remember doing what I wanted to do when I wanted to do it. I felt free fro the most part, and I remember the smell of crisp spring air, listening to the birds, and the occasional car passing by.

The major contributing factor to poverty is the lack of business ideas, skills, and opportunities.

The art relays poverty in a negative tone because the people look pale and sad, also they have metal bars behind them making it appear as they were trapped in poverty.

The artist shows us that poverty is bad because they seem unhappy and trapped.

The bars behind the family shows us how they seem to be trapped and are negatively affected by it.
