2. EXAMPLE: The girl in this photo is named Mildred. Millie is 23 years old and been working on her family’s farm since she was 4. Lately, things have gone from bad to worse for her and her family. Millie has a very tough life as she is working in a dust storm, such storms plagued Midwestern farmers during the 1930s. This section of the country was referred to as the Dust Bowl... You will then continue to describe the situation/problems created by the Dust Bowl drought and how they affected the lives/living conditions of Millie and her family.
