Also in a way I chose a map and there is a story behind it, which is the green is my father journey to get to arizona and the purple represents grandmothers story which got my mom to cali which she was born there and brought too az and had me. The reason I use my parents and nana as a example because everyone has their own story there is always history behind someone. The way it connects to history is because the torn map can symbolize the roaring 20's which was both a great prosperity and underlying fragility. The tears can show how divided and damaged was and still is but shows there is always more to it just because it is torn doesn't mean anything. Also in a way relates to the great Depression because it can symbolize the broken dreams and tough journeys many had to undertake in search of work or a better life. One my like my grandmother and nana both moved away to get a better life for them but also their children just like all the people would do.
