"Your response regarding the subtle yet paramount differences between the portrayed socioeconomic backgrounds of the two young boys in the photograph reveals an endless stream of unanswered questions. Despite the very real and unfortunate circumstances of their era, the photograph pretty much shouts at me that where, when, or what you are born into does not define the path that you venture upon. I am pleased with your ability to connect the piece back to the photographer's own intention, by referring to the caption itself. I, too, find the juxtaposition of the boys' facial expressions and the nation's situation at the time to be something worthy of pondering."
