In the photo, it shows society's bad side. Not that there was a big portion of good that could dominate the bad. Little things affect anyone in a big or small way. To the point where everyone mimics what society declares. Which in this image shows from my perspective, white people get to "draw" this neat little circle, and anyone inside that circle is classified as normal. But anyone outside the circle should be beaten, broken, and rebooted. And that ties into what the picture. Elizabeth who is a black woman, is an outsider, while the white woman is yelling at her because she's a "circle queen" (Typical stereotype back in those days). Furthermore, because it was unnatural for a person of color to go to a (Previously) all white school. She is trying to oppress Elizabeth so she can break her, to go back to her school that was meant for people of color. |
