This is a photo by Lewis Hine of 11 iron workers eating lunch. It is an emblematic photo that represents New York’s long history of labor. People during the 30’s, when it was taken, took great risks just to make end’s meet, and I think that is still true for many people, today. In addition, I have somewhat of a personal connection to this. This photo is commonly reprinted, and my grandparents have a copy of it in their house and have often told me how it reminds them of my great-grandfather,who was an ironworker.

I did not know what expect going to see this play,but I was pleasantly surprised by it. At first it seemed very strange because of the children in a glass cage and the automated voice speaking to them. However, as the play went on, I began to appreciate it more and it began to make sense to me. I ended up loving the play because of its message. It offered a really interesting perspective on growing older and choosing how to live our lives(whether we do what society expects of us or choose to follow our own paths), and it left a powerful impression on me.
