Okies Have Lice
Surrounding communities resented the newcomers. Some locals assumed that, because Okies were poor, they deserved to be poor -- had brought poverty upon themselves through laziness, ignorance, and "immorality." Too often, Okie children met bias in school. "The better dressed children shout and jeer," a parent told John Steinbeck. "The teachers are quite often impatient with these additions to their duties, and the parents of the 'nice' children do not want to have disease carriers in their schools." After all, everyone just "knew" that "Okies have lice."

1. **It shows how people felt about the children.** - If the photo depicts negative reactions or sentiments from others, it reinforces the feelings of resentment or bias against the migrant children.
2. **It shows why children needed medical attention.** - If the photo illustrates conditions, such as poverty or illness, it would support the notion that migrant children faced health issues often associated with discrimination.
3. **It shows the way migrant children dressed.** - The attire of the children could indicate their economic status and how they were perceived by others, linking back to the bias described in the text.
5. **It shows feelings of sadness from unfair treatment.** - If the photo conveys emotion or depicts difficult situations the children faced, it can highlight their experiences of unfair treatment and the resulting sadness.
