"To every action there is always opposed an equal reaction."
â Isaac Newton
âAct as if what you do makes a difference. It does.â
â William James
"Actions speak louder than words"
â Abraham Lincoln
When reading this story, these quotes came to mind. The story takes place during the depression, an era of breadlines, bank runs and broken dreams. Ellis Reed, a struggling reporter, is on his way to work when he sees 2 young boys playing in front of a farmhouse where there is a sign that says 'Children For Sale '. He snaps a picture because it reminds him of certain memories from his childhood, not meaning to publish it. When it accidentally leads to a break for him, he writes a story for the newspaper. But when the story and picture begin to eat away at him, he tries to find out what happened to the children and thus starts to right the wrong that was initiated by publishing that picture.
