Right off the bat, a sense of sadness and gloominess jumps off the screen. The main character, Cecilia, is a struggling waitress who is trying to support both her and her husband, who is unemployed.

For example, when a young child is frightened by the unknown, like the spooky creaks of a floorboard in the middle of the night. For them, the only way to make sense of the experience, for which there was no certain answer, was to fantasize. They would fantasize that maybe it was a pirate or a fairy sneaking around the house while everyone’s asleep to look for hidden treasure.

Those who saw the aggressive model of behaviour were shown a video of an adult in a room full of toys, being verbally and physically abusive to an inflatable doll. Those who saw the non-aggressive model, were shown a video of an adult in a room full of toys, playing non-aggressively with any of the toys in the room. The children were then allowed to go into a room which was full of toys, and also the inflatable bobo doll. The children who had seen the non-aggressive model showed virtually no violence, physical or verbal, whilst they played, while the children who had been shown the aggressive model of behaviour imitated the violent acts they had seen in the video.

Dorothea Lange is a remarkable female American photographer who is best known for her photographs of the Great Depression for the Farm Security Administration. Lange was a monumental figure in photography because she was a strong woman in a professional field that was largely occupied by men. Lange helped break down gender barriers by impacting and changing the way women were perceived in the photographic field. During this time period, documentary photography was just beginning and since Lange was working in this mode, she had important influence on the way it progressed. Lange started out slow in the field of photography, but her exploration of documentary and photojournalism led her to become one of America's most influential photographers.
There are many women who used their photography skills during World War II to examine and bring the different faces of the war to the masses. One of the famous female photographers, Toni Frissell, had a career photographing fashion and the upper class for magazines like Vogue and Harper’s Bazaar.

She worked for the American Red Cross, Eighth Army Air Force and the Women’s Army Corps.
