Answer 9

I can start you off with one of those people, the mom on the very right holding a baby:

Still on the road without a job and she's looking more and more hungry every day. The next town is just up the road a few miles. Maybe they'll have something, or maybe they'll just tell us what everyone else has been -- to go West. Life on the farm was hard. But at least we had food, and work, and a reason to get up every morning. Now I have no idea what the next day is going to bring for us. But at least we're not alone. Others are fighting like I am, or just trying to find answers like everyone else.
