2. the photo is showing another side to American life. the photo suggests that she is unhappy and stuck with being a janetor the rest of her life because she is a black woman. it appears that the American life is not as great as it seems. its not equal rights.

3. in comparison to grant woods "american gothic" they are generaly the same exact pose. both have unhappy faces, both stiff poeses, both holding and object of there jobs. and both a symbol of american life. grant woods photo has the pitch fork and he creates crops and the gordon parks photo that is shown she is holding a broom and a mop. she cleans up after everyone. it could show a kind of ranking system of society.
