In Document A, why do you think Florence Thompson, (Migrant Mother's) children are hiding behind their mother? Think of RACE when answer the question.( restate the question, answer the question, cite evidence from the text, explain how the evidence proves your answer, and (optional) summarize.)
In Document A, Florence Thompson's children are hiding behind their mother because they are potentially vulnerable and afraid. The evidence from the text that supports this is the description of Florence's expression in the photograph, which states, "I saw pain in her eyes. She had reason to worry. Her husband had just died, leaving her alone with six children to feed and protect." This indicates that Florence is bearing the burden of responsibility for her children's welfare, and her children may feel safer seeking refuge behind her. This demonstrates that the children's actions of hiding behind their mother can be attributed to their fear and need for protection.
